I really like the mix of 2D and 3D art, and the shading really nails the cozyness part! I got super distracted and started drawing something goofy on a pumpkin. Here is a pic, I hope you like this abomination:
overall I had lots of fun w/ your game, drawing on the pumpkins was easily my favorite as you can tell from the image above. The art is really well executed and I can tell you've put a whole lot of effort into this, amazing job!
omg that’s amazing 😂
did not think that was even possible lmao
Loved the artwork and catching the fireflies was a nice touch. My jack-o-lanterns were abominations but I7m glad I didn't lose any points for inaccuracy haha. I might add a dash button or speed up the walking pace of the player character as the play area is rather large and the objectives are spaced out enough that it turns into a bit of a slog to keep retracing your steps. As well as some sound effects would go a long way! Very cozy and very fun!
Glad you liked it!! And thanks for the suggestions, I’ll definitely be making a lot of changes in an update :))
The graphics is awesome! Combination of 2D animations in 3D world. Nice work!
thank u sm!
Nice work! Only issue I had was trying to catch fireflies was a bit hard to line up sometimes. Thanks for sharing!
thanks for playing! i’ll fs try to improve that objective
glad u liked it! there actually is a system to check if the pumpkin is happy or scary, but it’s super lenient since all it requires is that the pumpkin has at least 2 scary or 2 happy shapes. Thank you for the feedback!! i’ll definitely look into making it better
Good game!
I liked the visuals and the music. The only thing I found tiring was blowing away 500 leaves. :°D
(By the way, I laughed at the end. :D)
thank u! and you’re right 500 is probably too much, how much do u think would be better?
Incredibly charming. One of my favorite games in this jam! I hope you continue to add more to this, it seems awesome and perfect in time for the spooky season!! One minor gripe is maybe the font in the to do list should've matched with the dialogue text. The hand drawn pencil style of the art is very well done, reminds me of Paper Mario. I thoroughly enjoyed the dialogue and characters. I found each of them adorable and interesting. A little thing is that if you return to the coffee ghost without completing the task he comments that the carrier isn't empty and then the sprite still doesn't change after you deliver them all. Some footsteps for the player would be another nice touch. Would be nice if the night time dialogue prompt would be lit up in some way or appear brighter but that's minor. Pumpkin carving was the best minigame glad I saved it for last! I found the leaf count for the leaf blowing task to be a bit much as I couldn't do other tasks while doing so.
All in all, a fantastic entry to the jam and you should be proud!
thank you!! and thanks for the feedback; the font, cup carrier, and sfx are all things i’m defo gonna work on for an update. glad you enjoyed it! :))
Hey there, amazing work on this game! FIrst of all, the art is great, the characters, the environment, everything is so cute and fun! The quests are fun as well, I liked every moment of them! Also, lenny face pumpkin looks dope, especially compared to my chaotic neutral(evil) designs. The story is lovely, every character has something to say, and it just warms the soul. All I gotta say is.. You good bro? Keep up the good work, you got it!
thank you so much!!! i’m really glad u liked the characters! (i wrote most of them at like 3 in the morning)
One of the best games I've seen! First of the visuals are beautiful! I really loved the pumpkin carving mechanic, a true stand out of the game. Hats off to the post processing too! The haze in the background is a really nice effect and is done really tastefully. The final scene also has some great effects.
If I were to absolutely nitpick and post some constructive criticism, I'd love to see some custom text on the task bar, perhaps even some icons? and seeing the coffee leave the basket could've been a cool addition. It's easier said than done to fit everything in, I certainly didn't!
I'd totally come back and play again, I'd especially love to see the final cutscene!
Honestly incredible game and incapsulated the theme perfectly 10/10! Keep up the amazing work!
Oh my gosh thank you so much!!! I will definitely implement those things in a post-jam update. Very glad you enjoyed it! <3
Coziness off the charts. I loved the look of this game -- the sprites look great, the shallow depth of field effect was cool, and the lighting in the final scene was really nice. Very wholesome fun and a nice complete game. I played in the browser and everything went smoothly. Nice work!
Thank you!! That means a lot!
Nice work, very chill and relaxing vibe. Had some trouble with the UI and selecting the wrong dialog. Lighting and firelies was nice.
Thanks!! And yeah the dialogue UI was one of those things i wanted to make better but didn't have time for unfortunately
A very chill, cute experience. I especially liked the festival sequence itself, and the pumpkin carving! Nice work to fit in a minigame like that.
thank you! yeah the pumpkin carving took a pretty big chunk of the time i had haha
What a fun little game I love it. Music is really chill!
ty!
This is so cozy! Kinda got carried away blowing leaves and did a bunch more than i had to. Love the 2D/3D mix. Shame you couldn't get that final custcene in time but the festival is already a wondeful conclusion. Good job!
Thank you sm!!
