I really liked how all the moves acquired and practiced throughout the course of the game came together in the end to defeat the boss. I should preface that with the fact that I did not actually defeat the boss :( I was unclear what to do after it became red and my stomps were no longer effective. I would've really liked to beat the game because I was having a fun time with it. Thank you for your submission!

Ghostville Harvest FestivalMan... I couldn't beat the boss! That third mode seemed like I wasn't doing anything or he has a lot of hit points! It was very fun though! I especially like stepping on the pears? If that is what they were, really fun and cute!

BooCake CafeA cute and short platformer. I think having the owl mention something about picking up the stomp upgrade may be helpful, unless he did and I missed it. Thanks for sharing!

Booplesnoot Adventureshort and sweet, some way to speed up or skip dialogue would be nice... also came across a bug, after u go in the middle room and go out, push the gourd to hoots house and it triggers the dialogue about the flower again, then screen goes black...

Foliage FablesOh, got it now. It didn't show the interaction symbol and when I was trying it before I must have been outside the area. I like how minimalistic the game is and how you used all of the special skills in the boss fight but after I finished the boss fight (my character froze so i suppose it was end) the ant went to me and screen went black. Don't know it is intentional this "dark" ending. I also encountered this bug where if I jump right before triggering dialogue, the character flies away :D I think you are keeping the y speed in dialogues or something, check that out.
Edit: I now found your comment that explains the dark ending is in fact a bug.
Loved this game. It was fun and easy to play. And we all know what it's like to deal with noisy neighbors, so his plight was very relatable. :D
(I also got the black screen bug at the end. I'm on a mac using Brave, if that helps you debug it. Thanks for sharing the play through below so I still got to see how it ends!)

Pies For FriendsA fun little game with great characters, art and idea! Also, combat and abilities are great as well! Great job!

COLORS OF FALLNice work -- I think my favorite part here is the concept of the tree as a kind of urban-style apartment building of small apartments, I liked that. The family of gourds living next door who hear noises through the wall builds that vibe nicely. I also thought the boss battle music was great. I made it to the end and watched your video for the final scene. Nice!

The Autumn ReverieAdorable little game! Some polish is to be expected. Yes sorry to say that my screen also turned black at some point after beating the boss but I'm glad you posted the ending!
The music is great, the art is lovely and the mechanic of defeating the ant(s) with jumping into (onto) it is clever and fun. Think there should be an option to turn down volume. Some jump sfx for the player would be nice as there are sfx for other things like text, smashing, doors opening, and squashing.

The Last SliceThere is a bug where the screen goes black after you beat the game. I played through the game several times but couldn't get this bug to occur. I'll try to fix it after the jam ends just in case fixing it now gets me disqualified. If you're curious to see the ending, here's a video of the full gameplay.
End: 3:40
I would really appreciate if anyone would share more details about when the bug happens. Sorry about this and thanks for playing!
Edit:
A new version is available that fixes the game-breaking bugs and has other improvements based on your feedback.
I like the artstyle, its cute. I also like the uses of some sound effects, the sound of stomping on a breakable platform gave me a good laugh. I got to the boss but somehow got a black screen after beating what I assume is his last phase. One suggestion I would like to add is to perhaps have the option to be able to play in wasd keys to give some wasd users some comfort. With that aside, I found myself enjoying this game a lot , amazing job!

Key To Autumn (v1.1 update)good game,idk why when I beat the boss the screen goes black but really liked the story and metroidvania gameplay

leafy's autummn partyThe controls were quite tricky for me to use and the game froze on me after beating the boss, but other than that I enjoyed the game. For the second stage of the boss, maybe it could drop stuff that you have to dodge e.g. shaking the tree and making little pieces of tree bark fall. I thought the story was quite unique. Good Job!
