Like this strange art style. Classic puzzle-platformer mechanics works well also.

Developer

lol its adobe animate shrunk down to 128x128, thanks for playing!

Pretty cool atmosphere, the king does look proper sad! The music also adds nicely to the mood, fun to figure out the puzzles.

Developer

you can accredit the music to lynx, I am "Rhythmically Challenged", thank you for the kind words!

The art and  atmosphere for this game was cool. I liked the story you came up with. It would have been good to include a quick restart button as I did find myself soft locked.

Developer

yeah def, thanks!

I was soft lock in the level with the locked door. I guess this jam was a good exercice to focus on collision layers ^^. Cutest wheelbarrow ever

Developer

Haha, glad you liked at least some of the game. I didn't even realize that issue until the very end of the jam submission, I'll try to avoid that in the future. Thanks for playing.

Cool concept.  Puzzles were fun.  Some issues with the physics and detection,  I was able to brute force myself through boxes at times, but overall pretty cool game!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

thanks! What do you mean by brute forcing the boxes?

Submitted

If I would run into a box repeatedly,  It would sometimes "teleport" me through the boxes.  Probably just a physics glitch and it could be WebGL related.

Pretty simple yet efficient proposal. Nice ambience overall, good job ! 

Developer

yeah having two people allowed us to both concentrate on one thing really hard while the other did the other thing, thanks!

Wheelbarrow is very cute.

Developer(+1)

you wouldn’t want an ugly wheelbarrow as your only companion right? Thank you

Nice atmosphere. It took me a while to figure out that I can only use the shovel on graves, but it's an interesting puzzle-platformer.

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing, yeah we ran out of time to make a tutorial(or even a main menu lol) so I can see the confusion.

Awesome artwork! The game is fun and very intuitive. In the level where the cartwheel is on the top floor and the player on the bottom floor, I've managed to collect the 2 graves but nothing happened, maybe a bug there. Nonetheless, great game. Congrats

Developer(+2)

I think that is the last level and Lynx didn't program anything after that so just nothing happens (don't quote me on this). Thanks for playing our game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I ran out of time before I got to make a end screen, but I hope the rest of the game was fun.

I really liked your game! I am a huge fan of the audio and graphics. I did get stuck at the part where the cart had to push a box on a button; the box got stuck on the edge. But, great stuff!

Developer(+1)

Yeah... you kinda have to do it all in one go and I'm not sure why, thanks for playing!

The graphics are beautiful, the music is great! It is also pleasant to play, responsive control, clear actions. In one of the levels, I made a softlock, blocked the door for myself, and the box was on the other side. I was scared at first when I pushed one of the crates into the wall, but if you keep pushing it, it bounces off the wall. Cool. The game is cool.

Glad you liked it.
