Cute little game, you pulled a lot together! I wasn't able to get up the little slope to get into the cave, but I did collect a full collection of the base Colormon. Cheese kept kicking my butt though, and still eludes me! Loved the really catchy overworld tune in the game.

This was pretty impressive. You really fit a lot in in a small amount of time. I only wish the walk speed wasn't so slow. :P

It's always great to find new pokémon games, it's a small and wonderful little game with great and funny 3d-models and atmosphere. Playing this made me feel joy.

The gameplay is simple and pretty fun. I love the atmosphere. Maybe a bit less fights. Overall a pretty fun little jam game.

@lexgear @popertots I knew I should have added sprinting :sweat_smile:

One of the major plans for the game that was not quite reached was to have color mixing and color pairing to summon new ColorMon. Color pairing a TomatoMon with a CheeseMon was meant to create a red yellow type PizzaMon, or color mixing a TomatoMon with a CheeseMon was meant to make an orange type OrangeMon. Creating all of the models from scratch and working on coding was a lot more difficult as a novice so it didn't quite get realized all the way but I am happy with how far it came!

It was a really sweet game but I agree with the sprinting XD It just felt like I was being attacked with every step in the first few minutes and then not at all after that, that was a bit off. But Cheesemon was great, I laughed very hard when I saw it.

Very trippy :D The name customization in the beginning was a nice addition!

It's a very cool concept. I wish the mixing was implemented (that sounds super fun), but we all know that's how it is in the game jam - always too little time :wink:

The jrpg battle system is nice and fun. I wish the battle screen didn't rotate all the time. It seems unneeded. And my witch walks veeeeery sloooowly - I guess she's not in a hurry to get anywhere :wink:

Would be nice to see your ColorMon collection somewhere. Cheesemon is the absolute best! I wasn't able to walk up the slope to go into the tunnel. But I guess that might be a purposeful limitation (or a bug?).

A pokemon like game is a very fitting concept for the theme of this jam! There is a lot to love here, I especially love the ambition, but I feel like there are a couple of missed opportunities. For example, when you get to choose your colormon, you don't get to see it, which is a shame. The battles also don't yield any sort of rewards from what i've experienced, so it's usually the best to just run after fighting every monster a couple of times. I did like the game overall, it has some really nice tunes and the visual style reminds me of YIIK, which I still think looks awesome. Good job!

A little pokemon like game "catch" me everytime! The Idea and mix up of different game elements is solid!

I got impatient with the repetitive battles, but maybe this is just not my genre. Cute atmosphere! I like the colour theme.

It is an interesting twist in the Pokémon formula, and I liked the 3D graphics. I think the game has a lot of potential

Great entry! I noticed the walk speed was framerate dependent though.

This has defininitely interesting graphics :D
Quite fun, sadly it crashed when I entered the cave. I haven't really understood where the color comes in

Also the world is very tiny but that's probably due to the time limit :)

One small thing I noticed is that it would probably be a good idea to have a max length for the names. ![beemovie.png](///raw/b75/95/z/648dc.png)

Hi, this is the quacking game guy :)

You made a nice little game!

The graphics are nice, although the overly saturated colors are somewhat hard to watch.

The music is cool :)

I don't know if there is any goal to meet, so I just went into the dungeon and run around.

I will put the video on my youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@standanovak

Have a nice day!

Quite fun! I like the style to it. Definitely could use a bit of a faster walking speed, and I'd love to see this game remade with the mixing mechanic!

Fun game, made me want to boot up my old Pokémon games. Only recommendation I have is being able to run, or increasing the movement speed. Overall very enjoyable though.
