Took me some attempts to get why i was botching my brew over and over, but when i got it.. i got it,
not that i did it, but i got it haha! The game itself is really well put together, everything works great and the graphics are pretty nice.
Got to agree with @scarounet though as it took me a couple of runs to understand why i was failing, maybe have a brief tutorial in the beginning, or even just a text pop-up every time a new element is introduced would be nice
Anyways! Enjoyable and fitting of both the season and the theme, points for that.
@joerenglish Thank you so much! Had a play of your game and omg- amazing! Super polished considering such a short time frame!
@voidn7 Thank you !!

@slimmerburger So glad you like the art!! It was my first ludum dare!
@kapricorn-media Thank you :smile_cat:
@scarounet @kekkodude You guys are 10000% correct, we unfortunately ran out of time. It was our first ludum dare (my second jam overall) so our time management wasn't that great! By our next jam I hope we can get a more polished game ready :smile_cat: Glad you liked it though, it means a lot !
@jerem-watts ahha thank you so much dude, means a lot! Glad you enjoyed the theme!!
@zet @kiwi663 Thank you guys, it was my second jam overall so means a lot that people enjoyed it :smiley:
One more thing: you can adjust the size of the game window on the itch.io page by adjusting the viewport resolution in your Unity player settings before building. I noticed your game window was super small by default and figured it wasn't intentional. In Unity, if you go to Edit -> Project Settings -> Player, you can adjust the resolution here (these are the settings I used on my game):

After you do that, you can go to the itch.io settings for the game and modify the viewport there too so it matches (I added a little buffer, so my itch.io viewport was 1414x843). I spent a while figuring this out for my own game, so I hope it helps!
Some ingame tutorial can make the experinece more better, right now it is hard to figure out what is required
By the way, we also decided to make a Halloween theme this year)
