I love the huge green eyelashes +_+ And the skull in main menu. Overall the style is really cute&cool!\n\nRandom thoughts while I play:\n- I was confused why Dad is asking for rent xD\n- Loved looking through the journal with little darlings, and it looks soooo good\n- 1st little darling is literally our MC??\n- the journal made me think damn that's really cute, because I made a \"picture book\" for my game (also wanted to make so you can look through it but didn't have time so it's just a single picture) and yours works sooo much better, taking notes x)\n- love the chaotic energy of the game x)\n- in hidden object part, would be nice to know what we are looking for, as whole BG looks the same so objects don't even stand out from the rest, some list or silhouettes would work\n- in perfect world objects also disappear once found\n- I ended up just clicking on diff objects mindlessly until got them all\n- I realized midway we are supposed to use the journal for reference (what little darlings want) so now that makes more sense but I still think object for finding should stand out somehow as it wasn't too clear\n- or maybe even make journal light up when finding objects scene comes up, and throw in a phrase that clarifies that a little (specifically when the mini game starts!)\n- aaand it seems I got to the end!!\n- now I am a bit sad I didn't realize the idea behind object finding right away, though ig it was implied through dialogue, it wasn't clear enough for me and I wasted that opportunity just clicking randomly ;_;\n- the sound when darlings appear was very horror-like, expecting horror continuation xD\n\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld55\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/ponchodarling.itch.io\/lucky-little-darlings-ldjam","text":"Play on Itch.io"},{"url":"https:\/\/ponchodarling.itch.io\/lucky-little-darlings-ldjam","text":"Link"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"94148","g_author":"1161882","g_event":"LD55","g_eventkey":"120","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"440870","g_title":"Lucky Little Darlings","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"761","g_commentcount":"25","g_site2_node_id":"390159","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"390159","n_urlkey":"440870","n_parent":"383062","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/55\/lucky-little-darlings-the-game-jam-version","n_slug":"lucky-little-darlings-the-game-j","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"161882","n_created":"1713026797","n_modified":"1777916925","n_version":"1229006","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD55","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":4,"author":161882,"body":"\n*Browser\/WebGL, Windows Download, and mobile compatible*\n\nLLD is a hidden object game with mostly narrative elements focusing on a trio of siblings that have magical capabilities.
