I love this art and squirrels! I wish there will be minimap.
Than you! We agree that a minimap would add a lot to the expoerience as the map is relatively big! Glad you enjoyed.
Super cute! The design of the character and the squirrels is amazing. Enjoyed the pikmin-like gameplay.
Thank you so much!
Nice, cozy
Thanks :)
Omg!!!! super cool game and artstyle!!!!!! Hope you guys winnnn <333
Thank you so much!!! We are also hoping for that hehehe
Big shout out for the art in this game. Super nice.
Thank you so much!
A very good game! Had a couple of squirrels get stuck on picking up acorns but another click remedied that and I would've loved a mini map too - but perhaps that'd make it too easy; the difficulty balance was great.
Thank you so much! IĀ“m glad you were able to enjoy even with the squirrel bug. We actually planned to add a minimap to enhance the experience, but couldn't implement on time
why summon pumpkin?
why not? xD
This game is really fun and very satisfying! I'm really enjoy the game. The art and animation are very cute. It can get a little laggy when we collect all the squirrels Lmao
Tahnk you so much! It does get a bit laggy whe you are by the end and have many squirrels! If we work on a definitive edition of this game later we will definetely look into ways to optimize the squirrel AI
Pretty interesting concept !
Thank you ;)
it was ok, i would love some loot boxes and rng drops from bosses, and some skins for premium currency, and a battle pass and a companion app and an ingame shop and overall i think you didnt really pull of the hyperrealism you were going for, and i wish you had a crosshair in the top right corner and a world map and voice acting and cinematics, but other than that it was fun and cool
hahaha!
Yeah... sorry for that, we will be adding the battle pass in the next version for sure!
I love this little game!
The sounds are a little bit buggy sometimes (but I have a shitty pc :D).
Love the minimalism and the theme was 100% spot on!
Thank you! Actually a considerable amount of players had issues with sound, so I wouldn't blame your computer xD.
So cute little squirrels :o
Really nice game, I was compelled to keep going and collect more items for the rituals! At one point my pumpkin died and I don't know why that happened. I think some variation in animation and sfx when you use the 2 different commands would help, I kept clicking the wrong buttons. I also kept trying to rally while moving - if you have a big crowd its a bit tricky to rally them all with stopping and starting.
This was super dope though, played really nice and the art and anims were super!
Thank you so much for the great feedback.
The pumpkin dies after 6 days. I believe we could have comunicated that better, intead of relying only on the counter as many players didnĀ“t realize there was a time limit in their first playthrough.
I also agree that variation on the feedback of both actions would be better, as being able to walk while doing them
I did notice that time was passing - with the lighting changing. One other suggestion would be that the the colour palette is tinted to be more nighttime colours (rather than just going darker - which I think is what happened).
One good ref for this is Cult of the Lamb - the camp has a day/night cycle which tints the palette to be more blue/purple. Perhaps you could also have some torches or something around the level that become lit at night to emphasise the feeling.
The tint idea is pretty neat. I'l replay cult of the lamb and pay attention to that detail.
Great job! One of the best games on this jam. Balanced gameplay and fall atmosphere.
Thank you so much! Finding time to balance in a jam it is one of the hardest parts in my opinion so I am glad that you pointed this out
My favorite of the submissions so far. Super cute/funny assets, very unique artstyle, and incredibly compelling game. Right level of challenge, and overall a very good game! I can't get over the squirrel biting animations. So good!!!
Thanks! We feel honored that this is your favorite game so far!!! I agree, the biting animation is the best!!! hahaha
Very well made game, every person on this team did an outstanding job. It ran really well, was fun to play and fun to look at. Gave off the same feel as the Pikimin style games which is super cool as I've never seen these mechnic styles outside of those games. Very well done! :)
Thank you for playing! Makes me really happy that you pointed out how the whole team did a great job. That game wouldn't be the same if any of us weren't part of the team... IĀ“m glad the game run really well for you as some of the other players reported some lag issues when they had many squirrels.
Very heartwarming comment
This is adorable and really well made. The art style is beautiful and it was a lot of fun sending the squirrels off to collect things. I got almost all the way through the ritual, but I ran out of time because it seems like the squirrels werenāt attacking one of the logs. The only piece I seemed to be missing was the skull, so I assume it was behind that. Wish I could have seen the ending but I had a great time playing anyway, awesome job on this! My biggest note is that there seems to be too many squirrels, I have a solid PC but it was lagging a bit near the end, maybe some optimization would help but thatās hard to do in only a few days!
Thanl you for the feedback! We feel sorry that you couldn't complete the game because of a bug, but happy that you enjoyed it either way.
I lost my message on the main page so I played it again.
Super cute! I was scared of the centre thing as it built anticipation lol. I wish I could rally and move, might be intentional but feels like it would make it feel so much smoother, even if it slowed the speed down.
Thanks for the feedback. We agree that being able to move while rallying or ordering squirrels would make it smoother. It was indeed intentional to make the player stop when doing this actions, but I can see that it would feel better to ble able to move
Very intuitive game, at no point did I find myself confused!! Loved managing multiple little squirrel armies at once
Thank you! We are very happy to know that the game felt imtuitive.
Cool Pikmin Game - you rarely see those, I enjoyed it a lot.
Presentation 5/5. I had some audio glitches tho ...
The game explains itself quite quickly. Some additional guidance through level design would help to make it even better :)
Thank you so much for the feedback! We agree! We wish we had the time to make the different parts of the map more unique to help the player locate themself
Amazing work! Very cool idea, i loved being the white bearded squirrelmancer! xD
Some kind of map or a marker pointing to the shack or a pumpkin would be nice though cause i got lost on the last day and couldn't find the pumpkin to complete the ritual :C
overall, very nice graphics, nice sound design, good game!
Thank you! We were planning to add a minimap that would pop up when you press ESC but didnĀ“t have the time to implement. But I think the marker ideia is really good and something that we could have done to improve the experience :)
