Great game! I really like the use of pixel art within the 3D world, you made it fit together really well. The music and sound effects were awesome

Absolutely amazing. Fits with the theme perfectly. The graphics are fantastic. I love the mysterious, foggy atmosphere. The blend of cute pixel art and 3D environments also reminds me very much of Octopath traveler. In any case, this is a great game, and I hope it gets a great deal of attention.

Love the girl singing to herself - atmospheric. Really hard to hit dogs even when they are in front of you.

I'm impressed. Great art, sound and mechanics. Everything fits perfectly together. Solely the hit detection could be improved in my eyes.

Reminded me of Inside because of the colors and the left to right controls.
High standard look and audio for a jam game.
Fits the theme really well.

absolutely gorgeous, would be cool with more storytelling but honestly the atmosphere already does so much

Everything was great except the hit detection. I feel like this could be easier since the time management makes the game hard already. I want those berries but... oh no...

The feel is spot on! Controls aren't intuitive but it's really nice when you've got that down. Kudos to the audio and the design.

This is by far the best Audio in a Game Jam I have ever heard! Stunning graphics as well. hats off to all of you!!

Great audio and graphics. Really nice atmosphere and lighting effects. Attention to detail with the wind on the grass and other nice little things made the game look/feel great. The gameplay is so-so as it was a little hard to hit the enemies, and at one point a ton of enemies spawned and I found myself trying to defeat them all, but Red Riding Hood and walked off so it took ages to catch up, only for her to die before I reached her. So some balancing needs to be done there, but really good job on this game!

Looks really nice, I agree with @codeforjoycaro about the "inside" vibes.
Not sure if I'm just missing something, but eating berries didn't seem to do anything for me. It should make the attacks stronger? The dogs still seemed to take two hits whether I'd eaten a berry or not. Also I suck so I didn't get very far, even after 6 or 7 runs :v

This game is beautiful! Very impressed for a jam. The music paired well with the visuals giving a strong mood. The game felt robust and complete which is also great. Good work you guys!

Great visuals and audio. They create really amazing atmosphere. The gameplay is fun. Only things that could be improved is the 3D environment (still very impressive as is) and like others have previously mentioned - the hit detection when player is little bit in front of the enemy or behind it. There could also be an indicator of some sort telling you what the berries do when you eat them. The overall difficulty level is fair enough. I've managed to complete it on my first try so nothing wrong here at least for me. Overall I really like this game. It perfectly fits the theme. Great work!

Awesome graphics, I like the 2d-3d mix.
The pace is a bit slow for my taste, but good game nonetheless.

Wow awesome visuals! I saw this in GDN on Discord. Great work with the mood :) It's actually pretty similar to our game entry haha! You should take a look (Don't have to play), just pretty close visually!

Wow beautiful atmosphere! I love how you combined pixel art with 3D graphics and made this beautiful result! The music is lovely and suits the game well! It would be nice when you died, the game didn't restart but you would spawn a bit behind from there bcs I didn't manage to finish it... it was a nice and beautiful journey tho.. Great job!

Amazing game, graphics and ambient are excellent, fight are bit imprecise because of the flat sprite i think. Beautifull work you can be proud !

Awesome! Very polished look & feel. The visual style with 2d sprites and 3d environment works great and looks amazing. The mood conveyed is very eerie and creepy and the soundtrack and sfx fits perfectly. The gamplay is rather simple in comparison and feels kinda slow, a little too slow for my taste. The enemies don't vary much and I couldn't find out, what I had to do with the berries on my own. After a while, enemies overwhelmed (there were a LOT) and the attack speed is rather low, so I couldn't fend them all off.

All in all, I enjoyed the little adventure. Really moody piece of jam art. I'd say with a bit of work, this could be an aswome little indie game :)

Thanks for bringing your game by my stream to check out! If you'd like to watch again, the highlight is at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/606399375

Very polished, too bad WINE couldn't render the bushes properly (and I wasn't very good).

The graphics look very nice. I like the combination of 2D characters and 3D enviroment. It was kinda laggy tho, maybe look into lighting effects? I got occasional lens flare effect that didn't seem necessary and turning it off should make it lag less, for example.

The gameplay is a fun but a bit too simple, so it gets repetitive fast. The camera felt too close, I couldn't react in time when enemies appeared from the other side sometimes. And bushes could be highlighted just a bit more to make them more visible.

The audio is really good! Adds a lot to the atmosphere

Great game!
