This is so cute and fun to play! I really enjoyed the dam building and meeting new characters along the way. I got stuck on some dialogue right at the beginning but I got out of it somehow. There are a lot of mechanics in this game and I am so impressed that you got so many into the game. I love the incorporation of 3D and 2D, stylistically so COOL. Massive congrats to you guys for making such a funky game! Had a blast playing it :)
Very impressive amount of content for a game jam, the narrative really elevates the fairly simple mechanics. I could see that maybe some of the beavers were going to do more and be interacted with in the dam but that didn't get done in time? I also thought that the enemies seemed very difficult at the start, I got killed repeatedly without seeming to have any way to win many times before I came across enough things I could beat to level up or gather resources for stronger companions, which really slowed down the early game progression but on the other hand made it feel rewarding when I could finally beat enemies that stomped me before. I also noticed some bugs, once when I got stunned the game got stuck and I had to reload the save, which for some reason removed Dr. Apricot from my dam. I also got a bug where the furthest dam room disappeared but I was still able to move there and the construction sprite got put over the room before it. I nevertheless enjoyed exploring your little funky world with it's odd characters, good music, and interesting new abilities to discover.
Thank you for the feedback! Version 1.1 is planned. Some major bugs will be hopefully fixed and perhaps the beginning will be a bit more balanced. We'll see what we can do.
