My Nuts Weigh Me Down by Slyddar

made by Slyddar for LD 40 (JAM)

Chuck and his sons like their nuts. Winter is coming and they need your help. Help him stuff his nuts into his hole before winter comes! Those nuts are heavy though, so the more you carry, the slower you go.

Same as @dankypants, came for the title, had a bit of a chuckle playing it also. Grabbing the nuts was a bit tricky at times, but overall I liked the core idea. I would suggest having random nuts lying around, I found the crossing river part to be where I did most of my dying. :)

Well done! It is a fun game and the difficulty is well balanced enough to make it a fun challenge :)
There are some bugs here and there but that's normal.
I really liked the art, especially the trees and Chuck. Chuck looks like he's up to no good, tbh :D
Suggestions:
- Let the player eat the nuts to regain a bit of health
- Let the foxes move up and down sometimes. I manage to get a few stuck in a path that had the rock in front of them, which made me a nice corridor to go thru :D (maybe that was intended!0

This game is nuts! ... yeah ... Really fun entry, like the premise, its neatly executed. Only nitpick for me is that I started riding a log on the left side but there were no logs to jump to. Might have been just really unlucky but it felt kinda unfair. Cheers!

Loved it. Surprisingly tactical with the ability to throw nuts to kill foxes, but have them be lost forever.

Lots of cool things going on like the fox AI, the dead bodies from previous runs, etc.

Art is great in a cartoony way, and the sfx are good. Unfortunately, I didn't really think the music fit.

One of my favorites so far
