Fun and cool puzzle!
Pretty neat game! Usually I'm not a fan of turn-based puzzlers, but the cute graphics and premise sold it to me. I loved the fact that you can sacrifice the shovel in order to go through holes, very inventive and original! I accidentally manage to cheat my way though by pressing alt to manipulate the slimes :P
Nice puzzle! Love gamaplay and art!
I really love the game, it looks and plays great. Simple yet creative and makes you want to improve every time you play it. 1 little thing to look out for in the future - the size of the game itself doesn't match the size of the viewport on game page - it's smaller and isn't centered when you launch it.
There are so many things to love about this game, from the perfect implementation of the theme and the special object, to the clever and simple way of the tutorial text boxes, the cute artstyle, and the complex puzzles, which can be brute forced or perfectly solved! One of my favorite games of this jam!
Wow what a review! It's given us a big grin reading this. We are so happy that you enjoyed the game, thank you.
I love it ! I even had a "owwww" when i first join the pupyy. Use of the shovel to make bridge is clever use of the shovel and the different puzzle worked well. Make me think about Baba is you in a way. Very great job here !!
Thanks so much! Our arist found the sounds for the dogs and it definitely added a nice feel to it. We're glad you enjoyed hte mechanics as well and being compared to baba is you is super flattering so thank you!
Incredibly well done. Easy 5 stars. Great art, music and SFX. The puzzles were fun and challenging. Really well done. So far my favorite of the jam.
Thank you so much the comments and we are super stoked that you enjoyed the game!
Good idea, 335 moves is my rating)
Good job! It took us quite a few goes to get a much lower move count for sure. Thanks for playing our game
Nice puzzle game, would love to have the minimum moves for each level.
GG for the double use of the shovel (dig and bridge), banger idea
Yes, that is a good idea, we should add the ability to see the count for each level and maybe a total at the end so you have something to compare against (similar to speedrunners using split times!)
Thanks for playing our game :)
A fun puzzle game with some nice ideas, definitely solid proposal. The understanding curve can be a bit harsh at first, but once you get it it goes smoothly.
Very good entry, nice job !
Thank you so much. We tried to ease you in with some of the initial levels to introduce a new mechanic one at a time, but that can ramp up quickly :)
Thanks for playing!
It is definitely a fun puzzle 👍
Thank you so much. We're glad you enjoyed it!
Fun puzzle game :)
Thanks very much!
Fun puzzle game! I like the mechanic when you have to leave your shovel behind to advance. Also love the doggo's idle animation! 🐶
Thank you for your comment! Hope you had fun playing :)
The sprites are very pretty. The music is so chill. The gameplay is enticing. I did not immediately understand what to do, but in fact everything is obvious. When the heroine used the shovel as a bridge over the pit, I went nuts. Very creative. Finished game, addictive gameplay, cool. The complexity is really high, or I just got tired of fatigue after the jam) By the way, the heroine is very similar to Cadence from the Crypt of the NestroDancher. Is this a reference?
Hi! Thanks for the comments. This was our first game jam so we are pretty stoked to read your comment.
The heroine was actually more inspired by a Harvest Moon character.
Thank you for playing our game :)
