THIS IS SUCH A CUTE WORLD!!!! Who wouldn't love to play as a cute little crab! Even the cockroaches weren't that scary! (Except when it started to chase after me... I beat it up though. :3) I was unfortunately unable to get to the other side, where the spawn of mass cockroaches were located (maybe fortunately?), but overall I was able to get the hang of the swing mechanics after a few playthroughs! ^ ㅡ^
I really love the cute crab character SO much, it's just so adorable and looks very squishy. Would very much want a buy a plushie of said crabby! ❤️The world is extremely vibrant with colors and the models were textured nicely! :D The UI icons are absolutely adorable as well, including the pause menu! The music was also beautifully done - just enough spoopy to give you the ghost vibes, but also portrayed with a very lighthearted and cute tone so that you aren't completely spooked!
I think this is a really impressive entry to a game jam! Fantastic work to the team and congrats! :D
I really like the style and atmosphere ~~ reminds me of a Double Fine game!
I couldn’t quite get the hang of the claw-swinging (I’m not great at 3D games) but I was able to explore the first level a bit through jumping.
Great work!
That's a HUGE compliment, thank you!! And yeah, seeing other people play the first part made it clear it was quite difficult to pass through. It's something that's going to be patched ASAP (among other things) ^^
Heya! Anna here (LD of PollyShelly ), due to time constraints we couldn't test and tweak the levels as much as we wanted so feedback is very much appreciated! What was your favorite part? Mine surely is crate city (the swinging level before the cannon hehe).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Don't jump after you put a foot in the paperplane or else you could fall off the plane and you'll need to restart the game. Sorry for the inconvenience, have fun! ^^
