Interesting illustrations! At first, it’s not very clear what to do, but after clicking, you understand the essence.

Great graphics, I couldn't find how to offer to harvest at the end but I found all the items I think

really nice gaphics. Click puzzle games are not a common genre in game jams, so it is very unique and special. Well done!

I liked the game, the levels are fun, thew graphics cohesive and kinda creepy. I collected all the items to offer. The only thing I miss is some kind of music and sound effects.

This game reminded me so much of Wario ware. Its was really fun to get the different gold items but in the end when I think I got all the gold items nothing happened. Did I miss something. I was waiting for the hand to close or to hold my hand.

That's a very unique take on the theme! Loved the graphics. I am a sucker for weird and borderline creepy games like this. Well done! Too bad there aren't pretty much any sounds, those would make this really special. Great game still, loved it!

Very cool game with a great art style! I'm kind of bummed I couldn't get more than 10/12 of the items, but it was really fun to try to find all of them. I like point n click games so this was a great experience for me. Some music and sound effects could've added to the atmosphere and sometimes it was a bit unclear if an item would be picked up or not. But that's a minor nitpick.

very cool jam game!

This was a nostalgic flash game kind of experience, in the best way. I enjoyed trying to solve each little puzzle to get all the gold pieces. The overall strangeness of what was going on was pretty captivating.

LD embed didn't load properly so I had to play on itch.io lol. Felt confused and frustrated a lot. Seems like some of the situations didn't work right, or I couldn't replicate what made it work. Like I'd get a gold item (like the baby's tooth) but it would fail to say "take" till I left and came back and did it again. Or in the case of the frog, I made him dizzy once but I don't know how, the first time he just got dizzy when I hovered over the crown forever, but after that it didn't work. I was surprised in the end that it said I found 10/12, so I went back to look for more, which is when I gave up since I tried the frog and I could neither take the crown nor the 1 gold coin.

Ayy a fellow construct user! I love the art made for it, very simple, and neat. The game was pretty simple, and I had fun on this one. One thing though, sometimes the "take" mechanism failed to work, and I had to do the task all over again. Nice one!

Lack of sounds and music is kinda unpleasant, but game is inventive in some sort of ways

Absolutely love the art style and the music. Great innovative game for the theme, I have a bias towards these funky/quirky kind of games. Incredibly well done, thanks for a memorable game!
