I have to say that the are is very cute and the dark mood adds to the overall theme.

Great work

Play your was fun and entertaining, thank you.

Don't know why but I couldn't get any meat? I tried killing rabbits/goblins in multiple ways but nothing worked. Also I think you should be able to deliver items into mailboxes that are not current target. And would be cool if "1" attack was on left mouse button and others were on right mouse button, constantly switching was tiresome.

Rarely do I see game entries on this scale that are bug free! It honestly seems to me like you've thought of every potential issue, like throwing items when above water - missing the mail-boxes and being able to pick up the items again, and so on.

Game itself was fun and challenging. Great atmosphere!

You even had some side characters in there! (and to think you even added a cameo character from a previous game)

Gotta say, I'm impressed! A lot of work done in only 48 hours :)

that was such a lovely little game :smile:

Cute game! Riding around on the broom was great. Impressed you got so much done in a compo!

This game has a lot of charm and depth. I like the little touches such as character dialogs, you really did a lot of work!

Very adorable game! Awesome game jam entry.

LDJam user 1787932 May 2023, 16:25

Really complete game! Super impressive for a compo submission, I had a lot of fun with this. Nice game feel as well. Great job!

MatthewDrake2 May 2023, 19:52

Really nice little game, the controls were really good and fit the theme great. Loved the atmosphere, art and music too. Nicely done!

Patrick Abernathy3 May 2023, 01:29

This was cool. I really enjoyed the look and feel of the game.

SmelJey3 May 2023, 06:35

Fun game! I love the mood and the art of the game! I wonder, why do I need to get off the broom? Why not spawn with the broom from the start?

fabula_rasa3 May 2023, 12:27

Very fun, if a bit short. I finished my quest and wanted another :grin:

Soundscape is perfect, both music and the sfx. Core gameplay is simple but satisfying and I didn't encounter any bugs. I wish there were icons for spells instead of just circles, but I'm guessing time got in the way of that.

The whole time I was scared that the mimic box will bite me if I get to close!

Whoever said witches don't contribute to society?! Working hard over here, but I guess I always have the day off if I work during the night..

Wonderful game! I love how many different mechanics you fit into it, with the limited time - especially considering this is a compo entry! The mechanics were also well explained and the art was very cute! It is very impressive and shows that this isn't your first (broom) rodeo!

This was a really fun entry! I liked the cute pixel art, and the music went well with the game. I like that you were timed, but it almost seemed like I had too much time available to deliver everything (I think I had 3+ minutes left for the final quest). Still, fun concept, would like to see it expanded on in the future, could be a big hit!

You did a lot for a compo entry, impressive work! Throwing different items is a clever take on the theme. I've enjoyed a lot! The music gets repetitive fast but that's totally understandable considering the short time you had. Sprites and text animations were also a good surprise. Good job!

Cute and fun to play! The tutorialization and wayfinding are really good, especially for a compo game. Easy to use controls and the mechanics are explained really well. I have no critiques!
