Ame el concepto y estética de los personajes, me encanta el apoyo y compañerismo del pequeño ave y las pequeñas referencias artísticas escondidas <3 . La mecánica es increíble lo simple y a la vez poderosa que es. La primera vez por ansioso no dejaba de "spamear" clicks y hasta que entendí que había que parar 1 segundo!! jaja. Realmente deja al descubierto la ansiedad de uno , dándote la pausa justa para reflexionar, perfectamente acompañado por la relajante música.
Los felicito unos genios!!
Muchas gracias! <3
Awww gracias! <3
The thumbnail got me like BWHAHAHAHAHAHA xD
HAHAHA I think it was like the first thing I drew in the jam 'cause I couldn't stop thinking about it.
Great idea and execution! I loved the aesthetic.
It is also a pretty unique and excellent fit for the theme, kudos for that too!
Thanks a lot! <3 <3
That was very well done and I really liked the story you made
Thank you! <3
Very nice idea, thank you for making something wholesome and mental health related. Beautiful art and music as well!
It wasn't immediately obvious what the time for the light to run out depends on. Eventually I figured out that if you spam click and not just click once and wait for the raccoon to reach that place, the light will stay up. I'm not sure this is intentional / I'm understood it correctly, but it made sense that you need to keep constantly talking so the sound of your voice prevents the darkness from taking your friend.
Btw, there's a typo in the URL, it's saying "confort"
That's an interesting interpretation, what's happening is that sometimes the racoon doesn't respond to your order, beacause its too nervious, and that makes him more anxious so the darkness grows, this incentivises playing calmly
The funny thing with the word comfort is that we the developers speak spanish and comfort is written with N instead of M in spanish
Thanks for playing!
Hi! Thanks!! :D
Actually it's better if you play calmly and wait for the racoon so it doesn't get more nervous and the light goes out, but I REALLY like your idea a lot! It could be a nice twist, maybe for another adventure of Racoon and Birdy.
And the typo, yeah, it's because "comfort" is written "confort" in spanish and we got confused. We didn't realize up until it was already published D:
We'll correct it once the voting ends :)
Very sweet game that makes you smile while you play, with beautiful art to back it up. However, it wasn't that fun for me. Maybe I don't understand it, but having the raccoon just refuse to move sometimes felt very frustrating. (Although the frustration does fit the theme of the jam and makes sense given that the game talks about anxiety).
I agree with that, it is actually a bit frustrating for me too, but it was the idea. These kind of situations are all about patience ^^'
We though about it more like an interactive experience than an actual game, tho it'd be nice to make a more "gaming" version, more fun to play.
Thanks for your feedback, it's really useful! <3
Thanks! :D
Yeah, it'd be nice to make a secuel or something with more activities and mechanics :D
Thanks! :D :D
Such a wholesome concept. Really great experience and the characters are beyond adorable.
I''ll repeat what others already wrote in the comments - the controls feel weird and it's sometimes really hard to control the character. Maybe it has to do with mouse position not being properly fetch, dunno.
Anyways, keep up the good work!
Indeed i was feching the mouse global position insted of the local and relative to the player there is a fixed version on the description, i will update this when the voting ends.
Thanks for playing!
Well, the programmer already answered, so all I have left for saying is Thank You! <3
The art is amazing! Fantastic job with that! The gameplay is kind of janky, but that's certainly largely due to the tight time constraints.
The idea behind this game is what shines the brightest for me, as someone who has had crippling anxiety issues. The game was calming and quite lovely. The sound track definitely helped foster the atmosphere.
There are some spelling errors and grammar issues. Consider giving the 'script' or text another proofread in the future. It usually helps me to slowly read out loud through any text. It would also have helped to have a different color of text for each speaker, to better delineate who is speaking.
Overall, a great game. You incorporated the theme well and took it in an interesting direction. You should be proud!
Makes us very happy that you feel identified with the game!
English is not our native language so it's normal to have some errors I will add colors to the dialogues when i can update it's a very good advice!
Thank you for playing and the kind words, it means a lot to us!
Ohh thanks a lot! :D
It really means a lot for us that people can feel related <3
Really sorry about the spelling! English is not our first language, and tho we use it all the time, when writing fast these things happen. We only noticed some grammar errors once we had already published :( But we'll correct it once the voting is finished.
Also, I love the idea of the different text colors! We'll implement that later on :D
Looks like a really nice game, but unfortunately it was too hard to control my character - he didn't seem to follow my mouse properly, and I ended up getting stuck in the bottom of the bedroom. I'm sure once you iron out the issues you'll have a great game :)
This version have some bugs, there is a fixed version on the description, i will update this when the voting ends.
Thanks for playing!
Yeah, we'll upload the fixed version after the voting. Thanks for playing and your feedback! :D
This was really unique and wholesome, I was very compelled to help my raccon friend through these tough times. Great art and music and interesting gameplay and a relatable narrative, thanks for making it!
Thank you for playing!
I loved your game!
Thanks so much!!
Oohhh you made the dinosaur game!! It's amazing!
So cool that we though about the same concept, tho our games are very different.
worst game so far
worst comment so far
Criticism is good when you actually say something
I think this was a very nice game and I really loved the portrayal of supporting a friend. I wish there was little more variety in how the player triggered that support, both in terms of mental engagement and because my wrist got tired from clicking so much!
Yes we wanted to have so more actions but as always time constraints,
Good luck!
^ What my partnert said, haha.
Thanks for playing! :D
This has so much potential! Love the art style, music and execution. Can see this becoming a much bigger project and a full on game!
Thanks for playing!
We hadn't though about making it bigger than this, but some friends of ours told us the same, so, we're thinking about it haha
Thanks for playing! :D
Wow this was super unique! I really like the calm atmosphere and concept of helping someone. This idea is clever, you should keep working on it! The art is amazing as well. Great job submitting to the jam, and I hope you learned a lot of new things! If you have time, please check out my entry :D
Thanks for playing!
I will be checking your game indeed! ;)
Thanks a lot! <3
I've rated your game, it's really fun!
It's a neat little experience as a story & the presentation is very likeable.
Though, I think it would work better if, somehow, you'd really have to comfort your friend, instead of only giving directions. (Now the comforting is done for you.)
Yes,we wanted to include more actions but time is treacherous.
Thanks for playing!
Hey, yeah, that's a nice idea!
Thanks for playing <3
Very nice idea! Simple to play, good visuals and sounds. Your game and characters are so cute. I would have liked to have this little red bird with when I'm in a "stay on the bed" mood. Thanks for making this relaxing game! Great job, Please keep creating games!
Thank you so much!
Ohh yeah, we all need a red birdy from time to time haha.
Thanks so much for your support! <3 <3
Highest quality game. Thanks for making this. It made me feel nice.
Thank you for playing!
Is good to know that we a re inspiring good feelings
Aww, thanks for your kind words <3
