How does your game relate to the theme?
the game is about grape being able to transform into dried and normal state. each state has its own advantage and disadvantage.
normal form can move around and be killed by the enemies,
while dried from cant be killed by the enemies but it cant move around.
This signifies the polar nature similar to magnates.

So good! I like the concept and the enemies. But you could put more obstacles and variety. Good job!

Developer

yes, I’ll do it in next update. Thank you for your feedback.

Nice little game! A few issues, though:

  • If I collide with the edge of the mouse's butt as it's walking away, I still die. The collision detection for this should be at the mouse's head, preferably only 1-way.
  • Transforming to/from a raisin makes me move forward very slightly, so I can end up falling into gaps unintentionally.
  • The music doesn't loop once it ends.
Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll keep these things in mind in next iteration.

Following are the current mechanics and possible causes for the bugs:

  • Player can collide with whole body of mouse.
  • Player moves few pixels forward while transformation it maybe because the rotation and scale pivot point of the players collision shape, as I’m using different size of same collision shape for both transformations.
  • Music doesn’t loop in the browser for some reason. It work ok in the windows version. Maybe some configuration issue is there.

I’ll look into these things. In next update. After a month.

Nice idea. It is an interesting steath game, but a little too hard. Maybe you can make the mice's patrol range longer, that the player could have time to hide. Hope to have more levels!!!

Developer

Thanks mate. glad you liked the game. In this month I will not be doing any updates on this game. as I’ve working on a project for another jam. after the jam is over I’ll add some more content to the game. I’ll keep your suggestions in mind at that time.

Thank You for your feedback!

Nice game dude I really enjoyed the concept of the game and the design of it 

My suggestion is that to make  more powers for the player and more obstacles :)

I would really appreciate it if u could rate my game and give me a feedback :D

Developer

The art is really cute! love the transofmation animation!
if felt like the hitbox was a bit unfair i was dying alot even when i wasen't touching the mouse but other than that great!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! I’ve used the rectangle as collision shapes so some extra pixels around the leg of the grape are also part of the collision shape. this might be the reason if player tries to jump from very close to enemy, he’ll die.

I think the art is pretty, the main character reminds me of Courage from the cartoons. It's a short game, which I like in JAMs, and it's enjoyable. Speaking of Jam, it's a good proposal for this one. Good job💛
