Definitely a fun premise of role reversal! Loved the intro cinematic and overall artstyle, I think the game would have been even better with a bit more explanation of the mechanics & clearer communication on resource costs/benefits of the different pots. Either way congrats on the game!
Absolutely agree. Thanks for playing and for the genuine feedback! We're planning on releasing a more polished version after the game jam and add mobile controls as well for a more accessible experience. There are two core ideas that we weren't able to implement that we believe will really round out the fun: Kiln Upgrades to unlock better pots, Magic pots that add buffs/fun abilities. Give us a follow if you'd like to be notified when we give it a little more elbow grease!
Super funny intro, and a pretty fun game over all. It plays almost like a tower defense game except you are trying to beat out the durability of Lunk's sword. As others have mentioned there are some bugs, at some point Lunk just stopped moving and that was kinda that. However, despite the bugs, I found the game very charming and enjoyable so they did not bother me. Gameplay wise, if you choose to update it, I would def love to see the ability get faster at building. Presentation-wise, the game was absolutely charming, and had a wonderful aesthetic. Great work. Lunk will never destroy my Kiln
Thanks so much for the response and for playing our game! Yes, the original plan was to have Kiln upgrades that allowed for unlocking better pots. The porcelain pots were also going to be magic and buff adjacent pots, etc... we had to scope down just to be able to finish on time though haha. We were a bit too ambitious for a 48hr jam, but I am glad we were still able to submit, despite the bugs!
A hilarious opening scene to the game! Unfortunately I couldn't play much due to bugs, but you can definitely see the love and fun put into this game. Hopefully after the jam it can be worked on a bit more. Great work! :)
Lonk kinda froze dancing mocking me hahahaha. Art style is easily 5 stars.
Hahaha, yes, one of a handful of bugs unfortunately. We actually made a hilarious game over cinematic but it fails to play :( Such a bummer. We'll patch it post jam!
Despite the bugs, I really enjoyed the game! The art was lovely and the concept unique! Wonderful work! ♥
Yo thanks! Yeah, so disappointed I wasn't able to iron out the bugs before the jam was over. I will be giving this a little TLC after the jam though so if you're interested, give us a follow and you'll be notified when we throw a little more work into it. Thanks for playing!
Seriously beautiful art! Very charismatic. A full game with fixed bugs would be nice. Congrats on the project!
Thanks for playing! We're obviously disappointed we weren't able to get the bugs ironed out before the jam ended but we are planning on updating it after the jam. Give us a follow if you'd like to get a notification when we update it! And thanks for playing!
It's fine. I understand how challenging it is to fix bugs within a 48-hour time frame. I'll be keeping an eye on your progress!
Wow, the art here is phenomenal! Wonderful work!
Thanks so much for checking it out and for the kind words! Much appreciated!
story board is impressive, i like it so much~!!!
Cool game! I love the graphics especially :)
I'd like to see the game's bugs resolved, the idea humors me and the cutscenes are well drawn!
Hey there, thanks for playing our game! This is the dev here, I think I'm going to spend some time after the jam to iron out the bugs and add mobile controls. We also had a plan to upgrade the kiln, unlocking more pots over time, that I'd like to see implemented as well. Very fun concept to work on and glad to see interest! Give us a follow if you'd like to be notified when we add an updated/bug free-ish version!
Very cool idea! Also very nice graphics :D
The art style is amazing, really cool cutscene, and who doesn't love a buff link? I didn't know how to place the pots once you clean them up, but defo super cool!
Haha thanks for playing and for the compliments. I wish we had more time to iron out some of the bugs and to give just a little bit more of a tutorial.
To answer your question, you just stand on top of one of the floor mats and press 'E' again to place a pot! I'll add this to the game's description for future players. Cheers!
Couldnt play because of bugs but the animations are amazing and the idea is fun
Give it another shot! I do think when you try to clean the objects to the right, it bugs out. so just stick to the bottom placemats
Amazing art! Loved Lunk coming in at the start. As someone said under, It would be great to see this as a full game :)
Much love! thanks for the kind words
The art is GORGEOUS, would love to see this as a full game!
Thank you!
Maybe! We are working on another game and hopefully after that we may revisit :D
Artstyle is really pretty and the Lunk/Castle Crashers reference was a nice touch. Really fun game and just overall really good!! Good job!!
AHHA thanks :D Yea was fun to make, didn't get the Castle Crasher's reference haha we just named the 'hero' Lunk after Link :D
BEAUTIFUL! LOVE THAT CUTSCENE! IS THAT A CASTLE CRASHERS REFERENCE!?!?
Gameplay is so fun and unique. More people need to see this!
HAHA I didn't know it may have been a Castle Crashers reference! LOVE that game
The animation/cutscene at the beginning was really well done! It really set the game up well! Unfortunately I got stuck on one of the colliders I think? It was after cleaning up the 2nd destroyed pot. I just couldn't move anymore
Retried the game and fit worked and it was pretty cool! I think it would be good if the player could still move while the pot is being formed. Also, it's a little hard to understand what to do at first, so a quick tutorial could help a lot! I can tell you put a lot of work into this project and I hope you enjoyed the process!
Thanks! We had a great time working on it. Definitely some bugs after the fact unfortunately. It was a pretty ambitious project for us personally and I think we got about 80% to where we originally wanted it to be. Overall, very fun process and learned a lot! Thanks for playing!!!
Thanks for the love on the art! Was fun to make
I didn't expect to see here a game with full cutscenes and my sense of humor! Thumbs up!
I think that I broke the game. My crystals are NaN, I bought so much that Lunk stuck in the corner :D
But it was fun, good job!
Hahaha, the struggles of Game Jam dev life. Definitely buggy unfortunately but glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing
I am glad you and I align on humor ;) thanks for the playthrough
The art and the animation are very cute and appealing, I really like how polished it looked.
The concept is pretty funny and clever and I like how it relates to the theme.
The cutscenes are cute but the cuts between panels are quite harsh, maybe if they had a smoother transition it could look nicer.
The game was cool in concept but it took me a little to understand what I had to do and the game's UI stopped working and soft-locked me.
We enjoyed it overall and thought it was very creative and pretty! Good job!

Thanks for playing. Yeah, we realized there was an unfortunate bug with the UI in some cases that does that. Disappointed but still had a great time participating in the jam and learned a lot!!!
I'm the artist on the project, thanks for all the kind words!! <3
