Totally awesome game, love the world and design here. The truck being supported by struggling shadows instead of wheels is inspired. Petting the little walking shadow and him blushing is the cutest moment i've had this Jam. Looking forward to seeing more!

I love the art, the aesthetic, the concept and the sfx/music. This is really cool, but I think I am missing something? When I go to bed on the first day it shows my shadows, but I can't move or change scenes or anything like that - if you can let me know what I'm doing wrong and I'll play again? 
If it helps, I did this twice:

  • start game
  • pet shadows and fill their feeding areas
  • planted 2 webs and 2 mushrooms
  • went to bed
Developer

Thank you so much playing our game and loving the art <3

Flyx did such a great job that I'm also totally in love with the visuals^^

Unfortunately though, I messed the code up on the last day and now there is this game breaking bug in there where the game can't progress on the feeding scene if the blobs are confronted with food they hate... =(

The bug is already fixed and we'll upload the patch right after the jam but for now you have to reload the page and try again.. I'm sorry =(

Oh and I really love your logo btw <3

Thank you for the kind words! 

I really like the concept of this, the art and sound design are on point! I did experience a few bugs (inventory said it was full when trying to get my 'crops' and then empty when I tried to feed the shadows) but you may have fixed that in the patch already. But bugs happen, don't stress about it. I really like the world of this and being a shadow rancher! This has so much room for exansion too! I hope you keep developing on it :)

Very cute aesthetic and setting. Unfortunately I too got that bug where my shadows wouldn't eat the spider webs, but other than that, very chill demonic farming game

I want plushies of every character in this game except the hand thing.

Developer

Hahaha thank you so much! <3

Yeah the hand thingy is perfect nightmare material but somehow Flyx' art style even managed to make me love this abomination xD

Great music and great plot. Btw in day 7, 2 shadows could not eat and it stopped there.

I really like the visuals!  It's impressive you could draw all that in 10 days

Lovely game.

Unfortunately there is an out of range error if you feed the blobs with fire and go to bed :/
But the scenery and sounds are great.

This game has big potential to grow out of the jam to become something bigger.

Thanks for playing and the feedback. We're aware of some of the bugs already and plan to work on this game after the jam rating is finished.

I like the art and the concept of raising shadows is much more unique than many similar games. I had my progress stopped though twice and I think it's related to planting the webs.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and liking our game despite this mean little bug! ♥
Yeah, I made a little mistake that can cause a freeze when feeding spiderwebs to your cute little blobs T^T
The art of your game is also stunning btw! =D

Submitted(+2)

My own submission has bugs so I can relate to that. And I really appreciate the comment on the art.  I like the art in your game too! The blobs are indeed cute and I want one of my next projects to capture a similar feeling because it's very appealing to me.

Glad to hear you liked my art. I was really lucky to have such a nice partner who did amazing on the coding side in this project so that I could focus mostly on design and drawing for a change in a game jam.

even with some buggs its a beautiful game with so much love! <3

Thanks for the feedback, we'll try to improve on those as soon as possible.
