Wow, what a great entry! The game is extremally fun to mess with, the characters are cute and overall graphic/audio design is amazing. Had a lot of fun with this one, good job!

Oh man, this was really great! I loved the feeling of just roaming and exploring the place -- the art and music fit so well and makes me so happy. The biggest nitpick I have is the controls, it didn't feel very intuitive. I *think* the biggest reason is the rotation via left/right, it messes you up quite a bit and a lot of times I found my mouse outside the viewport by accident. Maybe that's not the reason, but like... eh, I found a lot of times the direction/places I wanted the mouse to be at wasn't aligned to the input I'm giving it? Also about the moles... I'm not quite sure how to play them. I got them at the end by just patting (read: putting my hand for a while) the same mole 3 times

But yeah, overall I really loved it. Great job!!! :)

One of the best 3D entries I've played yet! Amazing art, and very well-polished for a game made in such a short time! The end was a bit anti-climatic, haha, but I enjoyed playing it very much! It was so hard to get the key into the slot!

Good job guys, I think you made a very cool game :). The gameplay is very polished taking in account that it was made in 72h. I loved picking the cows and seeing them fall all rigid :P As @pranjalbisht said the ending is a bit anti-climatic, but overall I think it's great.

Amazing, first entry I've given straight 5's. I just wish it was longer. The guy that you rub the wrong way and the last puzzle are brilliant.

This is so adorable and so ridiculous. I want to rub my giant cartoon hand all over houses and cows forever.

It reminds me of the oddball RPG aesthetic from the late 90s, except it looks better than an N64 and it happens to be only a few minutes long.

I'm also going to fight several of the above commenters — the ending is anticlimactic but _hilarious_. I don't think anything else would've been nearly so good.

Almost perfect, just needed more stroking puzzles :D

That's amazing work for 3 days, got some major dev envy right now. Love the intro and polish and wobbly physics. Top marks all round. P.S. Does the witch statue do anything?

Interesting mechanics... Felt weird just randomly rubbing people to get things from them.

@spinaljack No, it's a model of the MC from our ongoing game project, GUN☆CAT :o)

The graphic and theaudio are amazing! I miss can move the camera without move the character.
The game is so fun and beautiful ^^

Very professionally made. If this doesn't win the jam, it's probably rigged. My only gripe is that Q and E should be to strafe, but that doesn't ruin the game at all.

Fantastic. Really good in almost every way. The key part at the end was kinda tedious because the planet wasn't rotated with respect to the key correctly the first time.

Very professional. This would make a great kids game if, you know, it weren't for the rubbing people bit.

Very well made, I love opening an opening cutscene like that and the graphics look really good|

@andrfw yeah, the key part is a bit finnicky but we didn't want to upload a post-jam build just for that.

thanks for playing!

Lot's of fun, the mechanics of the game, the mood, the big silly hand all really really GOOD.
The only thing I would say for criticism is I was not sure if what I was doing to the moles was working.
Other then the GREAT Job!!!

The grapics are fantastic, and the theme is fit very well. The hand and the rubbing mechanic is nice. I could'nt solve the puzzles. :(

I think this is the first game I actually felt like playing full-time game. For me, it was best entry so far!

I like the aesthetic and the graphics. The rubbing mechanic and the small "quests" were fun. I had trouble doing the rub-a-mole thing to the point where I was close to giving up. It eventually worked, I don't know what I did differently though.

It also took me a while to figure out the part about the key in the end. It is *really* obvious in hindsight, but maybe if that big stick tilted a little to indicate that something was moving in a certain direction. I completely missed the mini map at first, and I didn't quite know what to make of the rumbling... (which is 100% my own fault :rolling_eyes:)

It wasn't a big problem though, and overall I had fun playing this. :thumbsup:

Wow, I didn't know what to expect at first, but this was one of the best games I've played this jam (Definitely top 5)


I loved the opening cut scene and dialogue. The characters on the planet were a nice addition, some of exchanges you have with them made me laugh.(Especially the guy with the cows.)


Game play was a bit weird at first, but after getting used to the controls I enjoyed it. (Picking up cows and flinging them was fun, until I realized I had to collect them all again. lol) Puzzle difficulty was great. I never got confused or lost when trying to complete one.


This was a well polished game and it shows. Your team did a great job.


The only thing I would of added an option to strafe, as turning the ship can be tedious at times. The mini map was a nice touch though.

What a great and bizarre game. Nice to include more coins than required, as I didn't figure out all puzzles. The ending was a bit anticlimactic but otherwise a perfect game.

Are you guys wizards? That was FANTASTIC! Best entry I've seen so far. Completed the game on the first try and loved every minute of it. Very intuitive and enjoyable. Maybe it does lack a bit replayability but hey, no biggie. To the top with you! :D

@arch-a-type back in development it was possible to fling items into stable orbits... you wouldn't get them back ever again. which was really funny if it weren't that you lost the game that way.
