This was an an insane fever dream.  You had characters to talk to with wacky things to say everywhere I could explore. If I had any complaints, its that it takes too long to walk from a place of interest to another place of interest. I loved all the dialogue and the characters. All just to get a piece of cake.

You're guys characters are so amazing and creative! Your artist(s) did an awesome job! Personally I was looking for a bit more game play or maybe less empty space. Especially in the original forest area I felt as though I was walking for a very long time and not encountering anything. You dialog was super cute but at times it felt like a little too much and I was just clicking through fast to get through it. Awesome job creating super unique characters!

thanks! i love our characters too ^_^ which one is your fav?

yeah we ran out of time for the levels, we'll def have those fixed for the postjam version

I think his name was Stoni? He was the rock pony that helped me get out of falling into the swamp all those times!!! I also was really in love with the accountant dragon with the glasses but I'm having a hard time remembering his name. I'm sure I can head to where accountants work to find him though!

I loved playing this game, it has a lot of character! I had a great few laughs with the dialog, and the character designs are lovely. My favorites are the tp ghost, Ryan the alien, Flow, and the accountant dragon.  Also the environments with the multiple parallax levels are put together really well.  One thing that I would add is a dash or some way to traverse faster though the levels. They can be pretty long when I went back to search for extra goodies.  A Party progression meter to show how many more people still need to be invited would be nice to add too. Overall it was a great game and I really enjoyed playing it!

glad you enjoyed it! yeah we were going to have fully fleshed out levels but ran out of time. we'll fix the levels for sure in the post-jam version

I really enjoyed exploring the environments, and the character art is excellent. I just wish there was  some tracking of progress toward a goal, as I played for a long time but felt like I wasn't getting anywhere.

I absolutely love this game, can't believe all this was made during a game jam. Wonderful character design, the art looks so good and reminds me of NITW, so many secrets, I loved seeing all the cameos. A little buggy, but overall fantastic job.

In a post jam version, I would like to see outlines of characters that need to be invited just to know who to keep pestering or not and an inventory for collectables.

Developer

thanks, good ideas

Developer

thanks! glad you enjoyed it! yeah we were going to do an inventory but ran out of time. we'd totally add that in a post-jam version.

I love this game a lot! The art is extremely cute and the dialogue was really well done. The corn area and the telephone wire jumping among the stars (complimented by Jubilee's jump stars) were particularly beautiful. The ghost town behind the poop ghost was a great touch, too :)

Developer

thanks

This entry is very polished! The character design is top notch, and everything from the game to your presentation on your itch page is very cohesive, which gives it an air of completeness that is hard to achieve  within a jam timeframe. Nice!

Developer

much appreciated

super cute!!! i love the character design so much

thanks! which character was your favorite?

great artwork and humour! I loved a lot of the dialogue and music was perfect. The jump seemed a little weird being able to jump up the sides of things and having to travel to find people got a little dull waiting to get somewhere. Credits screen did not work and no option to exit at all... Had to force quit to exit.

Developer(+1)

glad you liked it! thanks for the feedback, we'll keep that in mind for the post-jam version

This was awesome! The game has a lot of content! You guys really made the most of our two week time limit! The character interactions were really funny, and their designs were really unique! Amazing job!

I was a huge fan of Jubilee's sassiness! I think my favorite party goer was Stonicorn though! Their silence says it all XD

Developer(+1)

thanks! stonicorn is my character ^_^
