Really polished for a compo game and surprisingly engaging with having to run around and attempting to optimize the perfect route to fix different things. One small thing is UI positioning of the task percentages on the right. It confused me for a couple runs, until I realized that meant its adding to the chaos on the top left. But great game!

Soundtrack and graphics were excellent. Love the challenge of needing to go out to the shed to get tools. Only thing I'd like is some better, more obvious indication of what level I'm on. But overall this game is super rad. Also loved how easy it was to figure out game play with no supporting text at all. Great job!

I do feel like far too much time was spent going between the two buildings, though. I get wanting to make the player run around, but 2\/3 tools were in a pretty cumbersome location, far away from the places where you need to use them. I'd perhaps consider shrinking the map, but upping the amount of things breaking, to have a tighter gameplay loop with less navigating between the same two locations. I did like the art style a lot however, everything had cute little animations and it was clear what needed to be done. Overall, good job.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":870560,"author_name":"ChillerTyp","author_uid":"chillertyp","epoch":1665024753,"text":"The camera is a bit too far away to see all the beautiful pixels.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":870564,"author_name":"SuicidalMango","author_uid":"suicidalmango","epoch":1665024812,"text":"Beat it!

I liked the difficulty curve. \nIt did feel a little tedious to run back and forth to the shed, though I know that's part of the difficulty balance.

I got to the final curse twice and lost. \nI'd have definitely left the items on the ground where you drop them.
