Great job for 12 hours of development lol. Played your game on stream. Magical Michael is the stuff of nightmares lmao! with his huge gaping eyes. I love the creepy music playing in the background too. Voice acting was great. I felt immersed in the world. I felt like I was truly magical michaels' assistant. I was able to finish the puzzle even though the frog ate my gold bar. not sure if this is a bug or not.

Any chance you can upload the HTML5/WebGL version to itch? For some reason the web-version is stuck on loading when playing it on here. Would love to play it!

@adrien-tremblay thank you for playing it on stream!! I watched the stream back and I was glad to see we gave you a few chuckles with our silly game ;)

Yeah the bell doesn't really check if you have the right items at the moment hahaha, we had to cut a lot to make something in time and that was one of the things we thought might even go unnoticed.

@funday-games thank you for your comment! We tried re-uploading, but some textures and the lighting were very glitched and the audio desynced a lot, so we've decided to remove it and just have the downloadable on the page.

That being said, you can of course still play the downloadable version!

Fun entry! I think I got it done once by pressing the bell without having anything on the tray, but good job getting it all done in 12 hours!

An extremely adorable art style coupled with a relaxing and delightful gaming experience, my girlfriend and I had a blast playing your game, to the point where we were almost laughing so hard our stomachs hurt.![C7C88E47507CAE69D61DEBDEFAFF1368.gif](///raw/367/d5/z/64564.gif)

The Image really catch my eyes in the News-Feed and it was quite funny! For One day pretty great! Love the look and stupid humor! But I could put on the table whatever I want and it was right, so there was no check for the right incredients :D

I am also entering the cute bouncy frog fanclub (and the rest of the cast isnt too shabby either)! It's a nice premise and hell of a lot of work done in such a short amount of time! I'd definitely push for a post jam version of this!

It was definitely fun. It's a pity that there was little gameplay, but still well done.

What's not to love about Magical Michael ! 90% adorable, 10% creepy, just what it takes to make a memorable game jam character. Cool writing, hilarious voice acting, I liked it a lot. Congrats you guys :)

You should know that Magical Michael was an icon and inspiration for our team during the jam; we loved him from the moment his face popped up on the site feed and seriously discussed adapting him into pixel art as an Easter egg for our own submission. Delighted to learn he's more than just a pretty face, and also a top notch personality with great VA.

LOL I played. I thought that you joked saying that "*you are only two developers bla bla bla*"... but it seems that it's true - no more time. The main gameplay is interesting and fits with the theme. The FX are gorgeous - and you created a freaky mood which I liked. I would like to know how you move the lips according to the text or sound. Clever and efficient. Thank you for this (short) experience. I wish you the best ++

Very funny, i put the turtle and the gold bar on the table and proceeded to yeet them off with the stick, but the ingredients were still correct!

I love the narrator, when I openned I was force to listen to like 5 or 4 instances of the same audio clip and it had to be the longest one for the maximum enyojement, I love the textures, the gameplay is 10/10, and I need hear the wizards voice voicovering the whole Marvel EndGame pleaseee
