Nice idea and combat system. I got a bit lost because I didn't see the little ingredients above the tile on the map. After that it went nice. Maybe having a bit more control in combat would be cool.\nAgain great entry for this jam, good job !","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":940262,"author_name":"Madbarron","author_uid":"madbarron","epoch":1682989300,"text":"This game rules! I like that a lot of the attacks and items interact physically in the world, so for example you can avoid a stone throw by shoveling an enemy before they throw it. At first I didn't see the shortcut to go home but that's pretty much my only gripe. Great job!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":940779,"author_name":"LDJam user 287424","author_uid":"287424","epoch":1682992493,"text":"Awesome work! Super fun. I got my butt kicked the first couple of times I tried playing, but by the third attempt I started to have some success. I also didn't see the shortcut to jump home until way to late (probably why I got killed so quickly the first couple of attempts). Super fun mechanics and a great experience. Awesome stuff!!!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":942099,"author_name":"CameronPenner","author_uid":"cameronpenner","epoch":1683000601,"text":"Wow, there's so much going on! The map view is really slick, I had fun planning my day trips. And the auto battler was really neat! The pacing of earning items was just right. Took me a few tries, but it was super satisfying when I finally won. The only thing that would have made the first run better would be to tell the player when items are single use. But once I realized then I just played different, and saved all my wooly egg boys till the red zones! Great game as usual! Very innovative!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":943934,"author_name":"RRADU","author_uid":"rradu","epoch":1683019207,"text":"This game is absolutely sick! I could never tell it was made in only 3 days. The art is splending and the gameplay is really addicting, and especially the powerups are super rewarding. I really could not find many flaws except I guess maybe have some sort of stat level up beyond just the powerups, after a while it becomes a really grindy back and forth since going too far out risks you dying","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":955014,"author_name":"Eric Nguyen","author_uid":"eric-nguyen","epoch":1683096891,"text":"Wow this game is great, figuring out the optimal ways to use your abilities was very satisfying (like shoveling to make them miss a stone toss!). And the economy was very well balanced. I didn't realize that I could return teleport home the first time around, so I think I made it a lot harder on myself having to walk back home just to heal :joy: Great submission!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":955021,"author_name":"Weston Goggins","author_uid":"weston-goggins","epoch":1683096981,"text":"Fun game!
