Very cute game! Goal wasn't very obvious to me.. Ended up collecting all the items before i understood what i was meant to do.  Still amazing achievement in just 3 days! Congrats

Super fun game, cute and sweet aesthetics.

The only problem I had was with the controls using the mouse - mostly because I was playing from a laptop and the right mouse button is not easily accessible on this one.

Besides that it was a super cute game, and really nice chill vibes - loved the artwork you did helluvajob

Developer

Actually, my mom got the same issue eith the lack of a mouse! Thanks for playing

One of my squirrels got stuck in a nut, rapidly flashing above and below but could not move... But that's okay some bugs are expected in  a jam entry :) I enjoyed it. I was surprised by the day night cycle. Nice touch!

Developer

Thanks for playing and reporting the bug!

I love the art style so much1!! Im a little spooky by the sound lololol

Thanks for playing! I'm spooked too!

Very cool idea, I liked having a lot of squirrels to commands. The progression in the game is well designed.

Just a bit disappointed that there is a timer to finish the game, it makes the game more hurrying than cozy.

Overall, beautiful art and very nice gameplay, excellent game!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! And for the feedback too.

super cute art. neatly polished game. I love it

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! Also loved yours

Really neat! Reminded me of playing pikmin the first time. Nailed the cozy vibes too. The only real recommendation I would have is that I wasn't really sure what I supposed to be doing because I didn't realize I needed to click on the pumpkin to start it growing towards the next phase. So I was wandering around aimlessly for quite a bit. But otherwise really solid overall so well done!

Developer(+1)

Thankyou for playing and for the feedback. I agree, there should be aditional feedback to tell the player that you need to interact with the pumpkin

I loved it! It was so sweet to have an army of little squirrels chasing me around and doing whatever I said. It was super fun gather them by collecting nuts and then using them to collect objects. The art was amazing and the animations solid too! The only thing I'd give as feedback is I wish the world was a little smaller and that there would be less objectives to collect, as you run quite slow and there is a lot to do! But other than that, I think this is a really cool game! Thanks so much for participating in the jam :)

Developer

Thank you so much for playing an giving feedback!!! And thanks for organizing the jam!!!

This is so fun! Love the art/animations. I lost at first right before completing - I didn't realize that the day/night cycle was a timer for the game. Still had a blast the second time around. That's a creepy pumpkin. The controls are so smooth. They felt great! I went quickly and could rely on those reliable squirrels to do exactly what I needed. I liked watching the squirrels carry the larger items (that pie!). Was just fun to see those team-working rodents go. This is excellent.

Thank you so much!!!! I really loved your game

One of the best games

Developer

Thank you so much!!!

Fun game I really enjoyed interacting with the squirrels I didn't quite understand how to finish the game. I collected all the items on the map, but the pumpkin still died.

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing! To progress in the game you need to click in the pumpkin to activate the ritual. once you do it 3 times you complete the game. Each ritual needs a subset of the items you collected.
 
I believe we should have added more feedback ingame to communicate that need to click the pumpkin.

I really liked my army of little squirrels. So enjoyable game and so addictive. Took me a while to figure what's happening. It was very clear after reading the description. I did game over a couple times but I will return for sure. Great job!

Developer

Thanks! Glad to know the description was helpful! I hope you are able to complete the game and see the ending one day ;)

The most things has already been said and this is great game, so i just want to praise game design and balance: imho time almost perfectly balanced, lost first try and with "what to hell will happen when i finished" i replayed it and not disappointed, well done!
P.S. Sound features and music 10/10 btw, very unique and fitting

Developer

Thank you so much! It´s nice to know you had a game over and still felt compelled to keep playing and see the ending.

Developer

Thankss, Im really happy you enjoyed the sound and the music! :))

Submitted(+3)

That was brilliant. My only complaint is that the timer didn't add much, and yet caused me to replay 3/4 of the game. Amazingly done jam game, keep up the good work.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Interesting feedback. We chose to add the time restraint to add  a challenge, but I agree that it could be better executed so it is more noticeble and contriubutes that feel of urgency
