Another game that made me despair for what we do to our surroundings :( great game, especially loved the picture of the beaver family to tug at the heart strings
Yes, We thought a twist on the nice aesthetic would be a dark undertone I'm glad it hit its mark
Very well made nice art, good gameplay and message. I managed to complete the dam even though i kept hitting rubbish with my tail lol good job well done.
Fun had a nice message, and had great art accompanying it . Really had fun playing this. Keep up the good work you guys ;)
Thanks so much !
They are so cute and they are safe!! I love the aesthetic and it played really smooth. The slow down mechanics are great! Great job :D
Nice! I really got into being a busy beaver trying to grab all the wood.
Ahahah glad you embodied the role of the beaver
Very cute little beaver game :)
Appreciate it!
Well done, great art, great music. I thought I had to eat the trash so it wouldn't reach the familiy (maybe it was just me lol). Love the details, cute menu, great job overall!
Ahaha, I HOPE it was just you who thought that. There is a detailed how to play below the game! but thanks for the feedback :D
Gotta steal the other guys comment and say "Dam Good Game!" as well haha but really that was fun! I was really vibing with it getting into a rhythm. Let me know if you want some chill music to add to it, and longer tracks. I did the music for my game!
Also, the death sound effects scared the shit out of me I loved it. Nice detail letting the river slowly flood too.
This game was awesome!
We think our music is actually really cool! Hamie managed to make a track that drops out different layers of it to eventually make it feel sad with each families death! I will definitely check out your music though! good luck in the jam :D
oh that is really cool!! I didn't notice because I only had one death luckily haha
Good job finishing your game. The beavers looks great. I really liked the art.
Yeah the 3D design team done a fantastic job in such a short time
Dam good game. Great job with all you made from scratch for this jam! The game was not super challenging, so I did not get to appreciate the detail of changing the music as much, but at least the beavers survived.
Yeah we are thinking of patching in some difficulty modifiers moving forward so the game is a bit harder + a lose condition if the water goes over the dam! Thanks a lot for the feedback
Cute idea. I quickly found I could stay near the dam, swim back and forth and often get enough wood that way to keep going. The beaver was able to go under the side banks, so I had to control him more which added to the challenge bc there wasn't a hard bank to auto bounce him back into the river. The scream lol.
Ahaha yes, need to add in collisions as well as some incentive to leave the dam behind! Thanks for the feedback
Very impressive that everything was made from scratch! The low poly assets looked great, the gameplay was very original, and I liked the fact that instruments were lost as you lost family members. My biggest criticism is that I did not see a reason to swim away from the dam, and just dodged the trash and collected the logs and food as it reached me, which made it quite easy to keep everyone alive.
Yeah the art and music were incredible, I agree, and yeah That feedback has been quite prevalent and I will look into implementing a mechanic in the future to lure the player away from the dam for added difficulty, thanks for the feedback :D
very creative approach to the theme, nice work
Cute and sad! The sound of the family dying is really uncanny and surprised me :)
Jump scared me the first time I heard it too
Very pretty! Enjoyed it. Keep up the good work!
Great art and fun story. Left me for wishing more gameplay mechanics for the amount of hp you have. Also that scream lol.
Yeah I think we need to spike up the difficulty a bit too!
Nice game! Really liked the art!
Thanks a lot !
Very cute and well done 2d art! Sadly, it leaves me wishing the actual game could match. Personally, I would recommend at least making the 3d world more vibrant. I also found myself mostly staying near the dam and wishing the camera was behind the family and looking upstream. Would also be cool to see the character movement more smooth and not be able to go through the side of the river or the dam. The only other bug I came across was after collecting some logs then turning and moving, the log drifts away from the player character while remaining "attached" to him. My last complaint is to make the images and section headers on the itch page smaller, or at least not as tall. The huge difference between them and the body text is pretty confusing. Nice visuals though and super cute background!
Thanks for the feedback! We toyed with both camera angles and ultimately chose this one, but maybe it's something to rethink. 馃榿 Best of luck in the jam.
Very unique idea! Smooth and challenging game play, great work!
Good submission! That beaver death sound scarred me lol
