At first, I thought "A" and "D" were broken, but then I saw they were working just moving very slowly. I like the idea.
A nnd D should move with the same speed as S and W. Maybe it was a bug?
Thanks for playing
yep, a bug. I did reload the game but it was the same and could see by comments that it was not expected behaviour.
controls are hard
Thanks for your opinion!
I wanted to make them as easy as possible.
Wow! Really unusual gameplay, I like it!) Pleasing visual and relaxing audio! The game perfectly fits two themes!) I would like more neat instruction, how to play), amazing game!
Thanks for playing :)
The instructions on the ground were added at the last minute 😅
Oh, I know that feeling with time!)
Good game!
Very interesting way to apply the theme, i liked it :)
Cool game:)
interesting concept :) cool idea!
Overall, a very interesting game.
I may not have gone far enough, but I lacked the complexity and the need to take the donkey back, except for eating apples. I think it would be interesting if some railways were very close, so that it would be necessary to transfer the elephant back and forth. I would like to see other obstacles.
Elephant was supposed to be a donkey 😆
I wanted to add a herd of bulls witheout graphic warning (only audio) but I run out of time
I wanted to create barn here, but I had no time
Good idea, but pulling by spacebar is broken.
Very cool idea, I really like the gameplay concept. The first train spooked me to oblivion though :D
This is a cool game! The sound effect is fantastic.
Only have a bit thought, if you could push the donkey to the left or right it will be great!
I like how you presented the game! Even if it's simple, it does communicate, especially appreciate the visual and auditory warning for when a train is approaching!
I did have a decent amount of trouble with getting apples, pulling the donkey only seemed to work if I was touching the donkey directly, and both characters were a little slow, so there was a decent chance that a train would spawn with no way to get both of them off the tracks.
Regardless, still neat! And, I don't know if it's intentional, but I like the touch that the soundtrack fades the farther you are from the donkey - really emphasizes that you need to stay together!
Thanks for playing :D
You can pull donkey only when you are behind him and it's faster than pusing him forward.
Great little entry for the jam, love the push and pull movement, you said the game sucks and i don't agree on that. There are only two things that I would change and it is not the beautiful watercolour graphics, it is not the perfectionised audio nor the nice movement. It is the overlap of the ground-sections and the font + it's colour. Light blue and pink doesn't melt very well in with the rest of the graphics and the font is sometimes difficult to read like the text saying "Press SPACEBAR to restart". Perhaps you can fix that in the last 8.5 minutes you have left? EDIT: Just wanted to say that the cover art is amazing too!
I took your suggestions, and somehow fixed font and textures. Cover art was generated using AI 😅 (DALL-E). Thanks for playing!
