Bamboozled by Manlok

[raw]
made by Manlok for Ludum Dare 57 (JAM)

Help Papi and Chiwawa get to the other side of a rice field! Chop bamboo to get across deep puddles, balance between length of individual poles and their quantity to safely get to the other side, and don't get wet in the process!

Controls: Climb bamboo: Z Chop bamboo: X (chops bamboo top, adds pole to inventory) Open inventory: C On bamboo: Shift to aim jump. When aiming: jump with Z You must select a pole from inventory before jumping into water.

You lose if pole is shorter than water depth (shown in aim mode)

You win if you get to the other side!

took me a bit to figure it out and the controls were a bit hard to predict, but the graphics are cute and the main character animations are really nicely done!

This game has a lot of potential, even though it was hard to figure out at first. I mean, the tutorial has all the info, but I am more of a visual person and only text made it hard for me to understand at first

I loved the graphics and the music, the mood of the game is quite lovely - the only thing I would suggest to revisit would be the font. It works ok for the menu, but when there is more text a more conventional one works best to make it easier to read. It was fun tho, voted!

A lovely entry, Papi and Chiwawa are so cute ♥

Its a nice looking game but i didnt really get past jumping. The strategy is also not really understandable but i do like the hexagonal tile system and general idea of it.
