I like the deeper meaning of the game... at least that I found within it. For me it tells the story about life. Nobody knows how it will finally end... and where you will go. There is as far as I can see, also no way to find 99 beets above the umbrella shop. So you will never be able to have everything in life. There are people trying to fool you and tell you lies to get your money or whatever they want. And there are those kind people that tell you their story... or want to team up with you. Some who help you get up again...

While it's quite artistic (I liked the black&white background lower in the game),  I would have liked more fun stuff in there. The steering was kind of cumbersome. Especially all to the end. Maybe I bought the wrong umbrella?

Thank you a lot for giving your thoughts on possible interpretations of the game.

I hope to one day be able create a videogame that can convey a meaning or let's say a more abstract idea. While I think this is a little overambitious given the scope of a game jam, I nonetheless try to come up with ways how art, music or gameplay might outline one of these ideas.

This makes me overlook what is more important for the game, like more gameplay related content or good controls. Next time I will try to discipline myself and get this right first - either by coding it correctly, giving players a tutorial or making some people playtest it.

Thank you again for giving your feedback. :)


P.S. There is a way to get the 999 beets for the black umbrella, but it is pretty hidden/challenging and you might uncover it only by sheer luck...

Ok, then I should probably play the game once more to have a look for a golden beet! 😉

The aspect of art and meaning is equally important. I guess it's all about you getting better with Godot programming over time, so you'll need less time to do the programming part. Hope to see you again at another Godot Wild Jam! 🖐

Try your luck at the golden beet and maybe post a screenshot if you actually make it.

It's very hard, so don't frustrate yourself with it. I think I will post a screenshot myself if you give up and still want to see it. :D
