This is cute, I like the art, it fits nicely together. The gameplay is really intuitive and pretty fun. Theres nothing to stop me from placing as many objects as I want, so its really easy to cheese the levels if you want to, but I did try to play it properly and its pretty cool. The music is nice too, good for the background without getting annoying. Overall I like this a lot, good job :)

Cute game ! With good mechanic, I loved to play it 😀

I think a good improve of the concept will be to add limit for placements of assets (At the end i make some bucket with rocks and trees 😂)

Lovely little game, i agreed it could be improved by perhaps limiting the number of objects you can place, and preventing them overlapping perhaps. But the graphics and audio are charming and I enjoyed playing!

There is just something so satisfying about all those bouncing fruits

Nice entry, it's chill and fun, yes I just had to do finish all the levels. Only complaint would be unlimited amount of stones/trees make it too easy. Thanks for the entry!

Really nice submission! The graphics were nice and the levels were fun to play. As WhaleJam said, I think you could have limited the number of object we can use, but it was fun to play anyways :))

Otherwise, same opinion as above, it is very simple to pass the levels without object limit. But the gameplay is simple, the atmosphere is pleasant, you can easily limit yourself the number of items for more challenge... I liked it !
(I don't know how, but I make a sprite disapear :D)

the number of objects to be used should be limited
otherwise it is too easy to build smooth funnels and slides.
but otherwise it is fun:-)

Nice entry!
It was fun to see my approch evolve from minimalist (using as few rocks as possible) to just designing a nice slide with tons of elements :laughing:

An easy cute game.Sounds and picture combined well. It would be more challenging if you limit the number of objects. Overall it makes me feel peace, thanks!

This was surprisingly fun. The only thing I was really fighting was a little drag jank - with drag code you always want to save your delta x/y to the object at mousedown and add it back each frame, otherwise you get this little "pop" every time you pick up an object. It really made fine-tuning placement harder than it had to be. Otherwise, the theme, graphics, music, everything really hit the mark!

The music and art was nice and the game was fun though having no limit took away some of the fun since it was hard to challenge myself with nothing to compare against. Also not sure if it was just me imagining things but it felt like the physics were indeterminate so sometimes something that worked would no longer work. It did feel super cool seeing objects bounce on other objects but still land in the basket.

From idea, to art, to sound I really enjoyed this one. What a fun game. It just works and I wanted to keep going and do every level. Also a lot of content for such a short time, very impressed!

Such a cute concept! Really enjoyed the music and the progression through the levels. Has a very relaxing mood.

The balloon cows are very cute and the bouncing fruits are fun. However, I think you should limit the number of object or else many levels can just be solved by creating a slope towards the basket and a barricade behind it. But you created 8 levels - I'm impressed ;)

Nice and easy to understand game. Did you guys experiment with adding sound effects like fruit bouncing and going into the basket? Good job!

Nice game
You music is very nice too. Game is a little bit easy if you use unlimited rocks amount, maybe you should try to limit number of objets :)

Neat game! I beat every level :D. By the end it did sort of feel like I was playing line rider but with bushes. Since there's no limit, sometimes it felt like the only way to get it was to just dump tons of stuff on the screen which felt a bit like I was cheating.

It was addicting enough that I went all the way to the end though :)

Awesome! This is a very well polished jam entry. Limiting the amount of props i can place might've been a nice addition, but honestly its still pretty tricky despite not having any limits.

This was a pretty cute game! The cows are my favorite ^^
The game was pretty easy however, I would've liked to see maybe a bit more challenge like limited objects or a score based on the amount of objects used!

I'd also recommend adding a way to speed the falling fruits up, so that the player can check the result if they have to repeat a level.

Great entry!

A cute game that reminded me of some old flash games! I was surprised that I could use any element as often as I wanted, but in the end it turned out good, because I would not have managed some levels without putting down like 10 rocks in a row. Really well done!

Fun to play, addictive game. Good looking graphics and calming music. I like it. One feedback: Maybe you can limit the amount of obstacles we can use because otherwise I just use many of them, blocking around the level so I won't ever lose. Other than that, very solid entry, good job! If you would like shred some zombies in slowmo, be sure to check out my entry, I would love to hear your feedbacks!
