Alora/CozkaStudio did a fantastic work on our little alien jellies and the background! We knew the theme would be a bit of stretch but we appreciate the feedback, and yes we were playing for a safer idea since it was a lot of our first or very early jam experiences.

As originally planned, we will most likely add a click-to-build mechanic as soon as we are able and having the keybinds realigned and displayed always because we’ve got feedback from multiple folks in that regard. Our thinking behind the art was leaning into our two artists were good at stylistically and portioning their task load as such. Though, thank you for noting about the “mixel” resolution as that gives us something to do with tuning the resolutions and scaling for that portion. 

We appreciate the in-depth review!

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you liked the art, and unfortunately the jellies may not recognize how dire their need is (especially since some of them love standing in the middle of a busy busy road, somehow just waiting for a car to drive on over them).

Also a click and build system was something we were going to add but unfortunately did not have time. We will work on it though so that hopefully it’s more intuitive!

Thanks for playing our game! We’re gonna work on realigning our keybind display as it is indeed glitched and adding more accesible functionality!

Thanks for your feedback! We had originally planned for a control scheme that involved both the keybinds or clicking on the ingredients for whatever worked better for the player, but unfortunately time and other events did not permit us to do so. Adding the click functionality is high on our priority list, and it’s good to know that it’s needed!

We did have the plans to do a feedback system but we did run out of time to implement it, unfortunately. We even have the art assets, but Ah well it will be one of our first changes when we get back to it! 

WOW. The art was stunning, and I loved the absolute aesthetic and thematic force of the atmosphere all the way down to the little way that Lane and Emmett's facial expression indicated how they were feeling. The ending, its dialogue, and very clever tie into the title got me genuinely sentimental for a moment. Professionally artistic, on theme, and highly original. Maybe I should also look for the other endings that, if I remember correctly, were mentioned. 
I will say for me I did spend a good twenty minutes trying to figure out what the heck to do on my first play through, but all it took was a little piece of info that I didn't find before (the highlight borders were a bit slight so I might have grazed over it) to slowly figure it out.
Also, I will say that the first music track during the main portion of the game gave me a bit of a different impression/feel to the game than what it turned out to be thematically and atmospherically, but that's probably just personal because the track itself was nice to listen to with the piano!
Overall, wonderful job! 

Definitely felt intense and I did spend a good three minutes dying to the first hole and ended up dashing into the bossfight. It was a bit too difficult for me but I liked the character and background arts!

I was very excited to check this game out seeing your in-progress shots, and the product blew me out of the water! I love the enemy designs and the simple yet effective mechanics that kept me in the moment, engaged, and having fun the whole time.
Additionally, I LOVE the dialogue, the branching endings, and especially the voice acting. That was a wonderful touch that really enhanced the experience and left me wanting to understand more about this mirror creature...

I am absolutely delighted to say that after 2 independent playtests of our new branch, the customer service portion of the game is now fully functional. These frosty and friendly jellies are now truly ready for their Desert Dessert!

Lol, thank you! That’s definitively one way to look at it 😂

You did not miss anything, it is unfortunately bugged but we will have it fixed soon after the jam rating period ends! Thanks for the feedback!

The alien timers are set to definitely be a bit difficult to meet, but regardless of whether it is a bug or difficulty feedback, we appreciate you letting us know!
