So cute little squirrels :o
Really nice game, I was compelled to keep going and collect more items for the rituals! At one point my pumpkin died and I don't know why that happened. I think some variation in animation and sfx when you use the 2 different commands would help, I kept clicking the wrong buttons. I also kept trying to rally while moving - if you have a big crowd its a bit tricky to rally them all with stopping and starting.
This was super dope though, played really nice and the art and anims were super!

Thank you so much for the great feedback.
The pumpkin dies after 6 days. I believe we could have comunicated that better, intead of relying only on the counter as many players didn´t realize there was a time limit in their first playthrough.
I also agree that variation on the feedback of both actions would be better, as being able to walk while doing them
I did notice that time was passing - with the lighting changing. One other suggestion would be that the the colour palette is tinted to be more nighttime colours (rather than just going darker - which I think is what happened).
One good ref for this is Cult of the Lamb - the camp has a day/night cycle which tints the palette to be more blue/purple. Perhaps you could also have some torches or something around the level that become lit at night to emphasise the feeling.
