Very unique style! The art style feels well thoughtout, the game feels a little buggy, and I don't really know the objective. it looks great, even with the "godot shadows" (I didn't really notice) in the webversion.

Super cool art style and the mechanics are really interesting! It's a little hard but and I'm spending little time since I wanna play more games but based on the screenshot this game is huge! I don't have much critical things to say except it was a little had even in the tutorial for the little time I had with it. Amazing job keep up the good work!

Yeah we went a bit overboard with the length and toughness (especially with how punishing being "detected" is), glad you liked it still!

We lacked testing and the game can be pretty hard to understand for how many mechanics there are in it (without counting bugs we forgot)

I really liked the visuals! It just instantly hooked me up the moment I saw your game. It really gave me a vibe of type of games I played in my childhood. Like "Barnyard", and I not sure why. That was an awesome experience.

There was some troubles with main menu loading. It required to wait until all sounds stopped and only then main menu loads.

Hello ! We finally submitted our game in time !

Unfortunately, we stepped on bug with the Godot (4.3 RC 1) export and couldn't upload the Forward+ version of the game in time.

The Web export use the Compatibility mode of Godot, which still have a lot of problems with the shadows rendering (and our game is based on it...)

If you forgive us for this little overtime, please give a try to the Forward+ version of the game on Windows, which don't have any shadow bug and will be a way more pleasant experience !

Here is the Github release link : https://github.com/TheMagnat/Pirate-Software-15-Entry/releases/download/Release/Rogue-In-A-Bottle_Windows_Forward.exe

Anyway, I hope that you will enjoy our Game,

Thanks !
