pretty fun game. i like the vibe, it sorta reminds me of old flash games
Rasta penguin knows what's best man
Haha love the characters, cute little building game! And I really like the idea of digging other people's houses because we're a mole ;)
I love this concept and I really loved the penguins accent, really cool!
Love the little animal fellas and their talking animations. Mining feels satisfying and surprisingly competent for a mechanic that seemingly difficult to implement. Nice job!
Really cute and original game ! The SFX and music were nice, great job on making this in 4 days ! (I came from your stream, thanks for playing and reviewing my game)
Thanks! Your game was great too!
Cute game, very nice and immersive ^^ The drawings and dialogues really add charm to the world. However, making a circular hole was not easy at all XD
If you want to check out our game, feel free to do so :3 https://butterflan.itch.io/spicy-king
The Itch page's font was difficult to read due to the background color. Adorable dialogue and character selection. Appreciated just holding the mouse down to mine. Didn't notice the Contracts at first, just filled my house with paintings until I was at -1000 money. I was looking for a "big chest" item to build confused thinking "chest" was just normal/small.
I enjoyed my time with it, great job!
Hello! Glad to see that you liked the game! I fixed the itch page's font color and background so hopefully other players will be able to read it better.
It's a really cute building game that i quite enjoyed.:
Creativity:
The game fits the theme. I really liked the idea of building burrows for animals and the characters were funny and witty (and cute :>) I feel like the game was a bit too easy. Maybe instead of a list you have to decode what the characters want from their request? I love the game nonetheless
Art:
The games art is really cute and good. Only thing i have to pick on is that the UI doesn't really fit the game's art. It creates a weird clash of pixel and non pixel art.
Sound Design:
The music is very chill and fitting, i really liked it. (sound slider please?)
Major kudos for sound effects, I'm really happy that your game has implemented sound effects for practically every actions, it's a rarity in this jam and you should be proud of that :)

Overall really cute and well done game, really like this one! Good job :)
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm not gonna lie this game might be a little racist. However, I did like the visuals and music a lot. I'm not one for sandboxes but this seems like a really chill game.
Hi, Sound designer here, (and the writer of some of the lines seen in game.) I just wanted to let you know that it wasn't our intention at all to reinforce harmful stereotypes, but rather bring some of our culture into the works we create, such as the Jamaican Penguin, written and edited by me, (A Jamaican.)
I love the graphics of the bird contractors, and the general vibe of the game. I wish that there was a better tutorial rather than just a wall of text you force the player to read, and it was really annoying that when clicking any buttons in Mine mode made me dig the dirt behind the button too.
I also think that it would be cool if the contractor birds dropped little hints on their "perfect dream home" in their request dialogue rather than just needing to guess and check for the hidden requirements for better scores.
Overall, I think it's a pretty cool game that just needs a little more polish :>
Yeah I agree with everything, time constraints got to us and I would've loved to fix all that..
hahaha that's just how game jams are, sorry if it seemed like I was pointing out obvious things you already knew
