the hitbox for hitting the crabs is a bit hard to find out and unfortunately nothing happens when i hold e for drain. overall sweet mood but not very clear how to get the mechanics working. a day on the beach is a good day :)

A very chill little experience! Well done on selling this atmosphere. The music and spritework are lovely.

I had a some difficulty draining the water and stopping the drone. The other 'obstacles' had clear resolutions, but those two didn't seem intuitive or working properly. I eventually got the water to drain, but I'm unsure if it had something to do with where I stood or not? And then I thought the game was over because I couldn't build the castle anymore. But then it started building more layers when I built from the from instead of the back? Unsure what was happening though.

I like the art and the take on the theme, but the goal and execution could use some more love. Great job on this though team, I enjoyed my time with it :)

It's a bit buggy, but that's understandable for a jam game. Otherwise I actually quite liked it. It has some decent gameplay idea and very clear story and setting with a bunch of different "enemies" to keep your eye on as well as really clear progress.

A bit buggy and don't really have challenge, maybe need to push it further, but very good ambiance and chill to play !

I like the beach. :v:

I had some trouble with hitboxes (especially hitting the crabs + draining the water), and it took me a while to realize you have to go down below the high-tide mark to collect sand. But the story concept with the brother & his drone was cute. With the bugs fully worked out it would be a cute & fun little game. And thanks again for playing my game on stream!

I enjoyed the style of your game, and the idea was unique. This game would have benefited from some indication of of progress when holding E. I was also unable to drain the water from the castle, even though I approached it from different angles. I think a progress indicator would really help player feedback here. Nice entry, thanks for making this game! Cheers.

As some other people already said, crabs are really hard to hit, in fact I thought I was doing something wrong at first. Also I could not drain the water although I held E. But I really liked the game design and idea. Theme relevance was also quite good compared to some other games :smile:

Nice idea, cute art but glitchy hitboxes. I've not been able to drain the water no matter how I've tried...

Had a feel problems here and there. The game is on a good shape, but some bad implementations if fixed could make it way better. The hitboxes is a bit off, you can't keep up with the gameplay without trying to hold E on every area, and smack a crab without miss a couple of times. The camera seems a bit too zoomed and the enviroment overall feels small. I did'nt find too intuitive the way to build the castle, maybe if instead gather water to build the castle it would be better to highlight a sand pile or somesort. This entry has a big room of improvement, please keep up.

I can't really get anything to work. E does nothing, and I have tried all over the place. Q does something, but I am unsure if I am supposed to hit crabs and drones or not. Either way I am having trouble hitting them. Atmosphere and art is great though :)

I love the atmosphere in this game, very comfy, I really felt like I was at the beach! Ofcourse, there were some bugs that stopped me from progressing, but seeing past them I think the gameplay is really fun and creative! Good job on the game!

Can't drain soaked castle, crabs and drones are really hard to hit, web version game crashed after reaching 6pm. BGM and SFX is good though, fits the world settings. I think it's evident that the game is buggy based on the comments above and my personal experience but hey, good job nonetheless for submitting the game :thumbsup:

I had a good time building that sand castle, it looked like I had to deposit sand in specific places, and it wasn't clear where there was still sand required. In addition I noticed the dialog with your brother seemed a bit buggy, with text flashing in and out. Finally, I got a crash right at the end! But I still had fun with this! I liked the art and the idea, very amusing.

Well done!

The music in your game was really nice and it set nice beachy mood. I wasn't able to build any sandcastle however as E didn't do anything. As others have mentioned, I had also problems with crab hitboxes. A bit more polishing and this could be improve a lot :)

I really liked the music and art. The character dialogue and opening was a really nice touch. Controls and hitboxes could definitely use some polish, but overall a really nice, relaxing experience!

Like others have commented it's very difficulty understanding how to use the main mechanics of the game which obviously takes you away from the experience. LD does allow you to fix critical bugs like these post jam so I think it'll help new people playing the game enjoy it better.
The art, music and the story in the game are lovely so well done on them!
