One of my favorite games I played this jam. Super creative take on the theme, really great level design to invisibly point you where to go, immensely charming art, and little touches of polish that went a long way. Fantastic job!

Developer

Thank you so much!!!
Shout out to Joe (jarch2) who planned out and diagrammed our entire open world!!!
Which area was your favorite?

And now I made a bridge! Cool game, there's quite a lot of content in the map. I just wish stacoons were a bit more dynamic and that they were a bit bigger on the screen but other than that it's excellent.

You clearly put a lot of work into it, congratulations!

Developer

You collected all of them from the island just to put them in the water hahahaha!!!
Thanks so much for finishing!! We love it when people get to Staccoon Island!!!
I wish they were bigger on screen too, but what can you do when you're trying to show a stack of 20-40 *sigh*

Submitted(+1)

I spent almost 30 minutes fully immersed! The volume of content made it really enjoyable! This is definitely a full-on acrophobia game LOL. The puzzles in the game are all well-designed, and most of all, the satisfaction of gathering the CREW and merging them back together at once is fantastic!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!!! We love it when they ~e m e r g e~ from the trashcan hahahaha!!
But yeah, if you're afraid of heights, don't look down 🤣

Submitted(+1)

Really awesome game! One of the few that I played from start to finish. Fleshed out with good level design. Although I encountered and can see some parts where you don't even need to press some of the big buttons to progress. Which isn't necessarily an issue. 

The only issue I had was with the camera at some parts where it was behind objects. Some sort of dithering see through would make this a non issue.

Super cute/10

Developer

We're so happy that you played to the end!! Thank you so much!!
Sequence skipping is absolutely intended! We bring you... the joy of cheating hahaha!
Also, dithering is for sure on the top of our list for potential improvements

adorable game! seeing the perfect line of drowning racoons at the final island was really funny and the map building was incredibly done. i feel like this could be a great game to speed run !

Developer(+1)

First of all, I just want to say thank you from the entire Staccoons team and from Filo for reaching Staccon Island! It means the world to us and to him!

Shoutout to Felix (flooferdoodle) who made the bobbing animation (they aren't drowning at least I hope not 😢)

Also, I was actually working on a speedrun timer right towards the end of the jam but we didn't quite get it in in time! Follow my itch to see potential updates and more from this team!

A masterpiece. This game is unrivaled in its infinite glory. I also very much appreciated the meme in the image gallery.

This game is amazing!!! The mechanics are fun and it’s quite impressive technically for a Jam game, the only thing I would criticize would be that the camera is sometimes a bit annoying since the buildings cover it and in my case I think I was close to finishing the game but I was just missing one raccoon to get to the button for the highest building, so I think it would be good to add extra raccoons that aren’t necessary to finish the game but that serve so that if you’re not able to find the last ones you have others to avoid having to go around trying to find the one you’re missing. Example: If you need 15 raccoons to finish the game, there should be 18 spread around the level. (Although maybe that’s already the case and I’m just bad at searching XD) Anyway, amazing game, good job! :3

Developer

So happy you had fun and I'm sorry you couldn't reach Staccoon Island 😢
I don't think you're bad at searching, but you can finish the game with 15/23 Staccoons (although its much easier the more you get)
We may have been just a little to good at hiding them hahaha

I mean, where do I begin?

What an achievement to have made this game in mere 4 days. From the cute art and character design to the charming and very fitting music, this game brings you back to the glory days of PS2, when games where just made to be fun, and nothing else. Very well made game that keeps you wanting to stacc 'em all, while having a blast doing so.

Only suggestions that I can think of, would be to perhaps add some wind sounds when you are climbing the big skyscraper, to give you that sense of height. And a cool effect would also be to silence the music when you're standing at the top, to add to the climactic suspense of getting ready to do the longest jump in the game.

I almost feel bad giving you guys suggestions though, as you already did such a great job. This game is a serious contender for becoming at the very least a top 10 game if you ask me. Bravo!

Developer(+1)

Oh my gosh thank you, and I love those suggestions!!

Developer(+1)

OMG we could have wind sounds!! Love the idea of silencing the music at the top too!!
Also I absolutely love how you wrote "stacc"

Love this! A great take on the theme! Definitely the most time I've spent on a game so far! Well done team!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!! Loved your game as well!

The world building goes so hard! Even though there are only raccoons and cars it felt alive. The charm of this really good.

Developer(+1)

Awww thanks so much!!
If we had another newspaper it would've been about office workers complaining about vertigo in the wonky tilted skyscraper :)
Your game is also super super charming!

Whoahhhh its Fetus Run! First of all great job on your game!!
And thank you so much for playing to the end!!

Very fun. It's like if you made Yoshi's in Mario more disposable, and cuter. Diabolical and great. Like many games in this genre, the puzzles become very easy if you try to do much of the optional stuff, causing some accidental sequence breaking on my part xD

Developer

Cuter than Yoshi??? That's some high praise 🫶
The sequence breaking is super intended!!! (but then is it even still sequence breaking? what even is the sequence? these are questions for a philosopher or something)
But anyway, we wanted to bring you the joy of cheating! If you want another game where you can (and are encouraged to) cheat to your heart's content, check out our other game from GMTK 2023 https://jrschappert.itch.io/the-adventures-of-radish-boy-2

It was really creative, but it got hard soon :)) I saved it to complete it when I had the full opportunity. Good job.

Developer

We hope you make it to Staccoon Island 🙏!! Filo is counting on you! You've got this!

A delightfully silly game that had the perfect amount of platforming, puzzles, and laughs. Whatever force emboldened your team to make an open-world game in 4 days clearly had your best interests at heart, because the end result was an amazing experience.

Developer

This! This exactly the balance we were going for! Yayyyy!
Also hahahaha we're all super happy with the end result, but the impact on our sleep was.... less than ideal... 100% worth it though, would do again!

Loved the concept and the game itself was incredibly charming. The gameplay was intuitive and a ton of fun!

Developer(+1)

I absolutely love seeing the word "intuitive" here... that was probably my main focus in this jam, making an open-world where players wouldn't get confused about where to go and what to do-- one of the things we did that I think was the most helpful for this was the button camera cuts, but there's a lot of work that goes into getting that word "intuitive" to pop up in our comments! Anyway, thank you so much for playing!

Really cute game! Love how grabbing collectibles increased your options on the map. Reminds me of A Short Hike! Love how big you are at the end! The news papers are a nice touch.

Developer

Thank youuuuuu
Loved climbing super high in your game too! I will get to the top some day!!
Also, A Short Hike was one of our inspirations!

Enjoyed my time roaming around these mean streets. However I found the camera frustrating. Nice work overall!

Developer

Sorry about the camera-- dithering and sensitivity settings are on the top of our improvement list-- thanks for playing!

What an absolute delight! The game oozes style and is a total joy to play. Well done!

Developer

Hehehehe "oozes" I really like your wording here
Shoutout to Aidan (aidanpkln) for the art and worldbuilding!

The level design is so well-thought and this could even be called a full game! The only thing to fix is adding zooming for the camera. Just make it a bit easier to navigate. Amazing work right here!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much!!
I was thinking about what we could do to expand from here but I'm not really sure where we would go... maybe space 👀
Appreciate the feedback!
