Fluffy Flock by Achiru

[raw]
made by Achiru for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

When the wizard's away, the spirits come to play!

In Fluffy Flock, guide adorable fluffy spirits in their love for (amateur) painting!

The old wizard's asleep for now, but make sure not to run out of time. You only have a few moments to reproduce the artworks found in the tower, and switch them around. Who knows what might happen if the wizard wakes up at the wrong moment...

Of course, this would all be much easier if the spirits were any good at following directions, and if they could stayed focused for more than an instant. Finishing with a clean painting is a hard task indeed.

How to play :

. Mouse: Guide the flock (no need to click).

. Left click: Group them up (Careful on stamina !).

. Right click: Prevent the flock from painting.

Postjam changes

Postjam includes: - Feature to save your artwork in an image - Remaping of inputs - Adding of a tutorial screen - Various menus improvements (retry button, skip intro cutscene...)

Wow, very cool implementation. At first it was not clear how to color, but I figured it out pretty quickly. The game visuals are cool and cute.

Time is a little too short for me, and I'm really not very good at drawing. Nevertheless, I still played several levels, spent several paintings, especially a good work, very creative! (BTW, I also have a jam work. If you can have a try and leave your suggestions, we will be very grateful! THX!:smile: )

Nice entry ! Loved the atmosphere, the art (kudos for the beginning) and the last level made our team laugh a lot. We were taking turns playing on trackpad for even more chaos and it delivered for sure. Good job team !

Oh that's lovely; great, peaceful vibes! Impressive how easy it is to grasp without any explicit tutorial! It's a piece of art about pieces of art.

OMG I absolutely loved this! The concept was so good and well done. I struggled a lot to control the direction and sometimes i'd get colors in the wrong place by mistake but the results were nevertheless super interesting, even if they looked nothing like what it was meant to be. I really loved this! The best i got was an S- but it looked nothing like the painting it was meant to look like.

Hard to learn, but so fun! And different concept from the usual controls and mechanics. The art style, i am in love <3

A very unique mechanic, but it works very well, and the flock is surprisingly intuitive to control. Very cool entry!

BTW the jam version froze up my browser for around a full minute - it looked like it was waiting for some resources to load, but once it got started, it played smoothly. (Played it on Chrome latest with an Intel Iris XE integrated GPU)

What do you mean "not good"? Let's agree to disagree :smile:

I absolutely loved this game. It reminded me of Chicory a bit, but it's still very original. Awesome art and music!
