Art: Various asset packs

NB there is no sound.

Author's notes: As standard: ran out of time. This ended up being more of sandbox prototype than a game. I didn't have time to sort out the scoring or design a nice level. I wanted to add a feature where if you cross your own path it would break the parade. And of course a million other things too, like sound & music, proper player animations.

Cool concept and I can imagine with the direction it's going it'd be pretty adorable, thanks for sharing your game with everyone!

A surprisingly fun game to just run around and see just how big of a snake trail you can make with random things! and piling it all up at the end is pretty satisfying.

Cool idea. Very silly. I love it.
I scored 7600. yay. Reminds be a bit of Katamari.
Could definitely do with some audio.
Good job.

The steering felt a bit awkward at first but I got used to it. I think it would be easier to have it relative to the camera and not to the character itself. It was fun to try and collect bigger and bigger items. Good entry!

I was having fun collecting more and more items. Thank you for posting the game despite the fact that you were not doing well. As for the controls, I agree with @rewzu.

Nice game. It's like Kalamari. I think that's what that is called. Or that could be what a food dish is called. IDK. Anyway. I had fun trying to collect all the things. It's just I keep forgetting to drop them off. Cause I just wanna get all of them at once. lol. This follows the theme well. And the graphics look great. I like how it came out. Good job. Oh. could have used some sweet music too.

The controls felt a bit weird, but then I got used to them and it was fun. Collecting random items was fun, collecting animals and people even more so. I love how the items just follow you around in a line.

Charming and silly collection game! Running around gathering items and building a growing parade is surprisingly satisfying, with a Katamari-like vibe. Steering takes some getting used to, and audio would help, but it’s a fun, relaxed jam entry with a lot of chaotic charm.

Fun game, loved the humor. I didn't quite understand the concept the first time (didn't read the description so that was my bad) and after restarting a few times, my score stayed at 0 no matter how much I collected :(
