This was amazing. Can totally see how you won the jam, the polish is great, and the vibe is amazing with the "White Knuckle" style hand, to the bopping beat in the background and the AI which actually gets really challenging in the last couple of levels.
Came here after my friend sent me your blog with after he saw your shoutout to our game, which I can't even start to convey how much that means to us.
Thanks again for a great game and the shoutout!!
Thanks for checking it out! I really enjoyed Flora and it was a big inspiration for this game, so I'm very excited to see what you guys make next!
Pretty awesome!
DONT GET HOW THIS FOLLOWS THE JAM THEME
Its pretty fun but its a bit annoying that the enemy can win with special pawns but you can't, unless that's a glitch
Also the timer is broken. My timer always counts down, enemy timer only counts down when they are deciding on a turn. Somehow I went from 10 seconds to 2 seconds after I played.
Edit: Yea I seriously can't beat the last level because I'll go from 10 seconds to 2, then I can't click fast enough to place my last piece.
Just released v0.2 with all these issues fixed, hope you come back and play!
As a brazilian i felt represented by the monkeys haha nice game.
This was great! Played through the whole thing right here:
Ost anywhere?
Not yet, but you can follow our musician on Instagram. Or I'll respond here once we get a youtube channel up and running and post the OST. Thanks for asking!
Thank you, amazing bug report, this will 100% be fixed in the next version. We're working on having a way to save and load board states to make these easier to recreate/fix.
Bug fixed in v0.2!
Congratulations on winning! I bursted out laughing when I got to the upside down pawns in australia, fantastic game!
Congrats on winning the game jam!
I Honestly knew that this game would win, it was my favorite game by far and the amount of effort poured into this is stellar!
Amazing work!
Thank you so much!!!! We honestly had no clue people would like it this much. Thank you for the support and we're definitely making an update, stay tuned!
Блин гениальная игра! Заслуженное 1 место, меня очень позабавил разговор на луне со скелетом - da? :)
The time limit on level 10 is short enough that it causes trouble...
its pretty funny and nice to play
Funny dialog, with each level having a fun twist of gameplay. I love this idea, and I had a blast playing! Great work :)
gg this is peak... narrative, gameplay twist, and great feel
Really fun game! I Got lost in this. The effort put into each level keeps things fresh, and the vibe made up by the music, art, and characters had me feeling like I was playing a retro classic. Love it.
This is peak
