The levels were nice cozy strolls through an autumn orchard. I was stuck on level 7 for far longer than I want to say though. I was so lost.

I found it hard to situate myself in the maze. One thing that really helped me was that there were apples everywhere I hadn't been. They're like inverse-breadcrumbs. They were a nice feature that I could often rely on. Seeing the trees helped too, since they were rare and generally around the goal.

The menu screens were really well done. I like the basket of apples.

Thank you, that means alot! I tried to make the mazes gradually more challenging although I think I may have gone alittle to challenging on some. I loved drawing the basket for the garlic bread logo and knew I had to use it here too. Thanks for playing :)

My curiosity won so I pressed "No" when asked if I wanted to go to the next level... It made the music stop and made the game non interactive :(

Oh well... I am not the target audience for this game, I have bad sense of direction and do not enjoy mazes, but the game has cute graphics and seems well put together, so I think it is good :)

Yes, outside of a web browser it properly shuts the game down so it was a little disappointing to see that it didnt translate to thhe html export but oh well its something to improve.

Simple yet fun concept. Would be nice to add a longer BGM loop since levels are rather big and after five minutes it just stucks in your head

Really nice game, a chill maze is the perfect way to relax in the fall. I love sprites and the colors, it it all worked together really well! The UI was really well done too. I think any potential critiques have already been brought up, I do agree it’s a bit challenging and there are some great ideas below for addressing that, but this is overall just want you want to play in a jam like this, great work to you and your husband!

Relaxing and cozy - I really like the music :D is it your own?

I agree with Escarlate92 that it is not that easy to memorize the maze and gets a bit frustrating to look for the last apples.

The custom cursor is cute but a bit small - the instruction text on the other hand was a biiiit big ^^

Overall a nice autumn game-jam-game!

My husband made the music for me. I am in no way musically inclinced. I am looking into different ways to alter the camera to make it less frustrating. I appreicate the feedback as I look forward to updating and improving this project as my own skills improve. :)

Nice!

The music collab is very cool, thats so sweet :)

Improving the camera in conjunction with the movement could bring a lot to the game. Make the player faster with a nice gradual increase in speed if you travel in a straight line and move the camera in the same direction while getting faster. This should result in a juicy effect where you move faster and see more in front of you. I imagine that being kinda funny as well - rushing throught the maze to quickly collect all the nice apples

GarlicbreadgirlDeveloper54 days ago(+1)

I'll look into how to do that! Thank you I appreicate it :

Escarlate92Submitted54 days ago(+1)

Cute game, obviously made with love. I just wish the camera was a lithe farther the it is now, as it is hard to memorize the path as you see so little at a time. Congratulations for the game and for the quick submission!

Thank you for the advice! It was a change I had gone back and forth with as I was trying to avoid making it to easy.

Very cozy and autumnal vibes. I request a "run" option, it takes quite long to back track through the maze.

My cursor is an apple :o

GarlicbreadgirlDeveloper55 days ago(+1)

I appericate the feedback :) I'll add it to my list of things I'd like to try implementing.

The sprites are well done, and I love how the cursor turned into a little apple. I collected 25 apples, not sure if that was all of them.

Thank you. Yes I wish I would have put a counter in each level instead of just at the begin of each level.
