I successfully destroyed the golden unicorn temple and joined the party. I will now reevaluate my life choices.

An excellent game of beautiful unicorns but a simple plot

Playing this game made me realize how much a small team can do in a little amount of time when working together! Excelent work everyone :)

10/10, truly splendid, beautiful game. I will play nothing else until the end of time
The camera makes me motion sick though :/

neat little game here. Music quaint and lively, graphics fun, building awkward and tedious, but delightfully unexpected at the same time. So high, so high above me. xD

The ending was worth the struggle and gnashing of teeth it took to get my unicorn up into the clouds LOL. I enjoyed being able to use a controller and this definitely fit the theme of unstable. Unicorns were adorable and great voice acting. Thanks for the light-hearted fun and laughing!

Good game. but you can just drag and go on top of the golden Pegasus to win.

In the end I gave up on building the hay tower and eventually got up to the party by mashing A against a mountain and accumulating vertical speed. Probably not the way it was intended but I had a blast playing this with my peers, the game is super silly. Really good job! 🦄

I had struggles with the camera and my mouse, It was really sensitive so it was really hard to manage. You got me with the unicorns, tho!!!

lol, so THIS is what that Led Zeppelin song is about... Fun game! Definitely reminded me of an earlier era on the internet. Wanted to co-sign @unbansheee's point about the camera: it feels wildly oversensitive to me. But otherwise a very charming game.

Fun game, *beautiful* models, and goofy voice work, but the camera doesn't control well with mouse+keyboard, which makes it difficult to build with.

the graphics and the idea are pretty cool. The camera was a bit annoying, and I just won the game by jumping on top of a table and pulling it up. But overall, a pretty cool entry!

Very nice! I had a tough time with my mouse sensitivity but it was probably my own computer and mouse's fault. I love the goofy atmosphere great job!

That was very impressive for a jam game. You guys did a great job with this.
The 3rd person character controller was particularly well done. I liked how the character even turned his head to face the camera direction. The idea was fun too but I definitely think it needs some work because getting up to the clouds without cheating is very difficult. I think the game would benefit from some system that makes stacking easier. Like maybe items that you manipulate have higher friction to prevent them from moving /rolling. Or some other spell that lets you freeze some items.

Overall the game felt very polished and complete, but by far the best feature of the game was, of course, the voice acting

Thank you all :)

@skleembof - I spend most of the time with character controller and magic. I was planning to add item rotation, but there is always to little time on game jams for everything :P

@jayjack, @mspawa - I will probably do something about mouse sensitivity during this or next weekend.

I enjoyed this! I like how you're not ever told how to get up there, the player is just trusted to figure it out. Did anyone else get to the party by riding atop a grabbed physics object like a magic carpet?

Unicorns! Pegasi! Loved the theming behind this. The music, voice acting, and art created a really charming setting! The vibes were all there! Unfortunately the gameplay was a little trickier - the mouse was too sensitive for my liking, and I just couldn't figure out a way to stack things in a way that would ever get me up to the clouds. Found a way to jump to the top of a nearby mountain and then jump from there to the clouds, so I did get to see the ending! But only by cheating :(

Would love to see what this looks like with simpler stacking. A few quick simplifications might include locking the items rotations so they don't rotate, and just making them like three times bigger so less stacking is involved?

Thanks for the fun time and the party!

I think the camera was a bit sensitive, so being able to turn down mouse sensitivity would be good. It made me kind of dizzy so I didn't get far in the game. However I loved the graphics, and pulling around hay bells was fun. Would be nice if there were hidden things to find. Definitely an enjoyable moment.

I now understand that I was supposed to drag object around, but I just launched myself off of the surrounding mountain like a ramp and landed on the cloud, ha!!! I love the voice acting, great work, and the 3D models are always an impressive touch to a jam game!

Very cool that you can control this with a controller! :v:

Quite unique game :) The in-game mechanic are cool, and the audio is good too. Was it inspired by Charlie The Unicorn, by any chance?

@zimny11 "Charlie The Unicorn" was one of inspirations. Other was "Kuce z Bronksu" :P

The first thing I wanted to point out was the sensitivity of the mouse's rotation, but then I noticed the possibility of setting this, thumbs up for this. The game is interesting, I'm sure I've never played a unicorn before. I didn't finish the game, but I still enjoyed cutting the shrine.
