Tell you what, drop the horror stuff, turn this into a chill cooking/animal crossing-like game with maybe some light farming elements and you got yourself quite the darling indie game.
I'm not saying what you guys have done here is bad, I'm loving everything of this lil game of yours, the graphics, sounds, gameplay, it all brings me back to the days of when I was a dumb kiddo playing all sorts of weird and different games on my ps1. But myself I'm just tired of this trend of "cutesy horror" games, I've never been into it, mh. Or guess just them "horror" games in general that think just emulating a low-poly ps1-n64 style of graphics is enough to make the game "scary". Most of them don't even get the looks or "feel" right anyway. But this game here, if I had randomly stumbled on some screenshots online, it would've fooled me, would've thought it was some old game I've never seen before, you got the looks and feel really well.
Anyway, enough of me rambling, great work here, hope perhaps to see more of this game or future games in a style like this, but welp, y'all's call, heh. Wish ya luck in whichever project y'all will work on next.
this games such a treat!!! Big ol ditto on wanting more of it. Had my doubts on if you could get back into ur house once The Big Event started and was delighted to see there was a special scene for it!! managed to dodge long enough to get back to the hole in the wall cos i was curious to see if there'd maybe be a secret or alternate ending-- and while i didnt find that i did manage to more or less break the game into giving an extra day since once you go back there it's by default registered as night time. left and went back to the village and got that same Fateful Call from Bunjamin, except it was now night time and you could just drive yourself home and go to bed, rinse n repeat. it was a neat lil glitch to find!! If this game was ever expanded or updated at all, it'd be a delight to be able to find a secret or somethin outside the village once the Event starts, or some other fun stuff incorporating the out of bounds areas you can sneak into. Sorry this turned into a big wall of text-- anyway yea, the games super fun and i love the style and how Bouncy the animations feel!!!!! it's a really fun little game!!!! i really liked goin thru all the flavor text, especially seein how responses changed to characters being given the wrong item once they started Changing. little details like that are nice :0]
Oh, that's interesting! We didn't think anyone would get all the way back to the hole in the wall. These are great ideas for a potential update! I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
I stopped playing the moment the horror started, and I watched someone else play it instead. That said, this game is ADORABLE and I love it. I'd LOVE to see this being expanded into a full game! ... Minus the horror stuff, of course.
I loved the game, 8/10. I loved it so much I decided to look around and brake the game to beat it in under 3 minutes. Honestly I really enjoyed looking around to break it so actually 9/10.
I only wish I didn't have to redo the tutorial every time I got stuck though. The Image above was produced by riding the scooter into the water OOB. Doing so displaces the character model leading to various effects when dismounting the vehicle. I really enjoy this glitch.
Hmm, I would say make sure to pay attention to the static effect on the screen. It will be stronger when the creature is closer. Following around the edge of the map will get you a few onions and be safer, but eventually you will also have to go into the middle to find one more. I'd leave that one for last! Hope this helps!
Thank you!!! I will play it again as soon as I can! I will update you if I make it lol! But right now I can proudly say that this game has to be my favorite!
You did a good job on this game, I was actually expecting us to start using our friends as ingredients; but considering how they end up, it would have been better for us if we did. Looking forward to seeing what else you create.
We've heard Amphibia brought up a few times! I actually hadn't heard of it before. I was just going for a play on words with "pop pop" for grandpa, and he's a frog who hops, so Hop Pop seemed like a good name. Sounds like the Amphibia devs had the same idea. Thanks for playing our game and for the video!
It's an alright game. It has a great aesthetic and the ending sequence is cool, but the gameplay loop is pretty boring and the ending itself is sudden and unsatisfying. It creates more questions than answers.
Spoilers:
Unless there's an Easter egg back here that I didn't find, the player should not be able to go under this fence.
I loved how cozy the game was at the start, the cooking and cheek systems were cute and clever and felt really natural. I'd love a wholesome game like this without the uh... 'extra ingredients' (My heart rate has yet to go down haha).
10/10 amazing game! Super cute with absolutely no HORROR TWIST. If you're looking for a MISLEADING game that starts out cute then turns totally dark, this is not the game.
But in all seriousness, this is an amazing game and I had a blast playing it. Thank you for making it.
This game was definitely a wave of nostalgia! We really enjoyed this game we only wished this was longer to expand on the mystery and lore. Maybe a sequel?? Lol either way, big kudos!
Just watched your video. Thanks so much for playing! The part during the end chase sequence was hilarious :D
I definitely hear you about wishing it was longer. We had to cut a lot of our vision out for the middle of the game so we could submit a completed game (only had 6 weeks).
Definitely understand man this was still a very fun game! Also, thanks so much from all of us for checking out our video. Hope to see more games from you guys 😊

Thank you! I'm glad to hear you liked it (at least most of it) 😄
No problem! The horror stuff is fine, even if I personally think the wholesome part is my favorite. Great job!
Oops 😅 Thanks for finding that!

Oh wow! I didn’t event know that hole was there. I'm glad you had a good time speedrunning it!
i would love to see this developed into a full length commercial release, this game has big potential for more!
Thank you! We love hearing that. We didn't know our little game jam game would catch on like this! Maybe we'll add more in the future...? 🤔
no, why 😭 it was so good, I accidentally gave alt + f4, BUT VERY GOOD, 10
Thank you! 😄
Im so bad at the hiding part!!! Any tips??

Thank you! We're excited to see that too 😄
This was a really good game keep up the good work and i hope that you enjoy the gameplay and are the frogs from amphibia? lol

your welcome was a fun game

Oops, thanks for finding this bug! 😅
Hi there! I got stuck in a hole. :(
PLEASE 😭 I DON'T WANT TO START FROM THE BEGINNING BECAUSE OF A GODDAMN HOLE
Whoa, weird! Sorry about that! We do have pretty decent auto-save so if you exit to main menu and continue you shouldn't be sent too far back.
I tried that earlier, but I'm STILL stuck in the hole.

Best thumbnail so far!! Thanks for playing!
i loved this little experience! i dint play games like this often, so this was really fun :)
Love this game! Looking forward to your next project... 😊
Gave the game a play and enjoyed it. Gave me those Banjo Kazooie vibes, especially with the transitions.
I'm looking forward to future games to play!
Also vidya too!
