Not usually a fan of platformers but this was just cute and ridiculous enough to make me give it a go. Controls were definitely a bit difficult and there were some minor bugs but nothing gamebreaking. Great use of the theme!

Thank you for persevering enough to get it working, appreciate that a lot 😅

I had the same issue with another game later too, it’s Windows Defender detecting something wrong. Lots of downloadable games affected, you probably didn’t do anything wrong.

Yeah, gutting, it looks like my kind of game though so I’m bookmarking it to come back in a week when we can update the files 😅

“Access to the compressed folder is denied” when trying to unzip.

It is unfortunately pretty standard, most antivirus is going to err on the side of caution with mysterious files like the ones we download here. It’s one of the reasons having a web playable version is so encouraged with jam games.

Malicious files are rare but they do happen so there’s no guarantees unfortunately. You can usually get an idea by looking at the dev’s profile or comments on their games to make sure they’re legit, but even that’s not much use if they’ve been hacked.

Just be careful, and if something looks dodgy or you’re generally in doubt, don’t risk it.

Oh no, I think you made the same mistake as me with your export, it’s missing the .pck file so won’t load at all 😭

Great entry, really atmospheric. The only nitpick would be that it’s a bit hard to see what’s going on with all the weather effects, but it is a blizzard after all!

You had me at the inclusion of an actual tutorial! Also the fast forward mechanic is slick, nice work.

Overflow is one of my faves so far!

Really enjoyed this! It took a couple of false starts to get the hang of it but once I was in the groove it felt like I could just keep playing forever.

I’ve been excited to play this one ever since seeing those trees pop up in your progress updates! Sadly I’m terrible at it, but that’s on me.

This requires way more skill than I have, but I enjoyed failing at it anyway :D

Yeah I mucked up the export, sorry about that! I’ve added the separate .pck download to the game page but bleh. Cheers for trying!

Yeah I just woke up to the news that I exported it without the .pck file by accident. First time making an .exe in Godot! I’ve added a link to the page, but don’t really expect anyone to download a random file from a stranger. Thank you for trying anyway :)

RIP

It’s already showing the new extended deadline on the main jam page (that time is always in your local timezone to make it easier) so you’ll be able to submit normally.

Nobody seems to make important announcements here, but I gotchu. You’re not going mad, the submission deadline has been extended as of last night due to enough people begging for more time.

Make the most of it, everyone! :D

To be fair all the ones I’ve done before had submissions visible, but most of those were unranked so it didn’t matter. Must be a setting on the organiser’s side I think.

Good luck with your game! First jam is always the most exciting (and stressful, haha).

These have been asked a few times in the Discord so while I’m not an official host, I’ve seen them answered plenty.

• You can use assets you have the legal right to use, but do credit them (the crediting method hasn’t been specified so I’d guess either in-game or on Itch page or both is fine).

• Tutorials yes, ChatGPT and similar no.

If you go to https://itch.io/jam/code-for-a-cause/entries directly you can see it does exist but has been hidden until the deadline. I guess otherwise, early submissions would get rated more and have an advantage maybe.

Posting here until they get chance to update the jam page!

Thanks, there’s so much I didn’t get time to add or finish but so it goes. Had fun learning about Godot tilemaps for the first time anyway!

Thanks! Wish I’d had more time to put into polish but we all know how that goes. Going to keep improving it and adding more games though so you never know where it’ll end up :)

Yeah I hate doing cameras so put it off until the end of the jam and we all know how that goes… 😬

Thanks for giving it a whirl!

Well, first of all it’s in for review already so a bit late there😅

But also, interesting theory going against the grain of the typical “might as well set one up sooner rather than later” advice. In this case and with recent events it makes sense to me to do it now, but it’s definitely something that takes a bit of thinking about and everyone’s goals are different.

Might turn out to have been a terrible decision but there’s only one way to find out!

Now just to see if I can stick to it, haha. Cheers!

Thanks! Honestly I’d love to create a full game like this one day, just need to up my Blender skills first (and also all my other skills).

Maybe the creaking just got to me more with all the testing I had to do lol.

Confirmed VPN fixes it for us too. Interestingly I’m also having issues loading https://gameuidatabase.com/ but that works on VPN as well. Dunno if that’s just me, or if this is a widespread UK issue affecting multiple sites. Fancy giving it a click and see?

(Also we’re with Virgin Media, if anyone else wants to confirm or deny)

Edit: Yeah looks like it’s a Virgin thing https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Networking-and-WiFi/Highwinds-CDN-Issues/td-p/5316809

Same issue here, also unable to download games, and also in the UK. There’s definitely some funny business going on.

Ok I’ve been coming back to play this one for a few days now hoping that I’d somehow get better at it, but it’s so hard! Love the vibe, great idea, but I cannot get anywhere with it at all. That’s probably just me though! Someone give me some tips please :D

Such high praise from a Rainbow Jam powerhouse, thank you!

Multiple levels going through time was the original plan but you know how jams get, scope had to be vastly unscoped towards the end. I’m toying with the idea of continuing work on it though, so we’ll see 😄

Thank you! The yellow was a happy accident but as soon as it happened, I knew it was right 😄

Thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you! <3

I don’t know what I expected from you this year, but pro wrestler toes was not it!

Sadly I’m just as bad at this as I was at Worms, but will be back later for another round because the faces have won every time so far and that’s just not on!

Ok this was definitely interesting! I’m terrible at it, but for my first time playing a game “blind”, that’s to be expected. The options around the TTS were really thoughtful, especially changing the speed, and the only bit of information missing I would agree is the state of the core (unless I also missed that, hah).

Our old raiding team in WoW used to run with a blind healer and while this isn’t the same at all it is intriguing to get a tiny glimpse into the sort of experience he was having, so thank you for that!

Thank you! I would love to pretend focusing on one level was the idea from the start but…er…

Glad you liked it :)

Ah thank you so much for playing! I learned a ton about basic Blender things, just a shame I couldn’t include more than one little level but that’s jams for you! :)

Definitely understand never wanting to ever look at a jam game ever again after the jam finishes, haha. Great work though!
