In Carrotiles, you need to guide a carrot to its hole by moving around chunks of land !

The game is played exclusively with a mouse !

PS:
I started working on this entry 36 hours before the jam end ! so the game is obviously quick to finish.
I hope you still have fun playing !

I really like your game, its concept is very innovative! I’m good at this type of jigsaw puzzle game, but it looks like your game has dynamically locked some tiles, which has increased the difficulty and fun of the puzzle a lot! Additionally, perhaps you could add a reset function in the game. In the last level, I realized the gameplay midway, but it took some effort to restore the map to its original state.

Neat little game, especially given you started late into the jam! The theme, music, art style, all comes together well, and is very coherent to the chill puzzle-game vibe. The mechanic of changing the map around is actually really fun in my opinion! Good job!
I found a bug where you can have your map placement mismatches with your actual in-game position (I was able to do this by rolling into the side of another tile with a fence blocking my path to it).
Still this didn't inhibit my fun.

Fun game! Makes me thing of the little toy games you'd get free with meals at Mcdonalds back in the day. Where you had to move the tiles to create an image.

Would be interesting if there was a counter for how many times you moved the tiles, then the player could have a score per level.

Good job!

Amazing little game! This is so fun to play, I like such puzzles. Anyway there are some moments: first, carrot doesn't quite fit through open gate, so it took me a while. Also it's not super enjoyable to fit a tile to orange square while moving it. But I really enjoyed how complex and elaborated levels are. Add a cute music and you'll receive a masterpiece. Oh, wait, you've already done it! Congratulations!

This is a really cool idea for the theme and a creative take on this type of puzzle. The graphics look great and the controls feel great. I did run into an issue where I couldn't go through one of the gates I opened. I ended up just moving the blocks around and when around the gate. Overall I think this was a great entry for the jam, nice work!

Neat game! Sadly a bit buggy and thus difficult to play, but it's still a very cool idea and has interesting puzzles. Keep at it

Creative spin on the jam theme and cute graphics.

Sometimes the "carrot detection" (to prevent the tile on which the carrot is currently sitting from moving) did not work and the carrot would fly across the screen after closing the map 😅

Very nice little sliding puzzle game. The last level took me a while but I'm also an idiot so that's probably on me. Nice work!

I spent so much time in that map solving the puzzles XDDDD. Loved it so much. It's finished so + credit for u starting late. You did a great job
Sean Wang3 Oct 2023, 20:45
Haha, this was pretty neat, spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out the puzzles

Fun puzzles! The difficulty spiked on the last one, but still quite impressive for only 36 hours! Nice entry overall!

I really like this take on slider puzzles. Permanent tiles combined with not being allowed to move the tile with the carrot really made things more interesting.

Really funny game puzzle and cool sound with models. I met some bugs with retry button but game is still funny

Was not expecting 15 puzzle when started the game :) It was nice surprise. Except some input lag it is very enjoyable.

Good little puzzle and created in a such short time window! Last level took me some time to figure out. Great job, man! :)

I love this entry. Sure it needs more polish, obviously... it's a game jam game, all participants would say the same :) But what really sold this one is the magic by which you introduce game mechanics to the player. Well done, solid entry !

This is fun—straightforward mechanic but it’s nicely presented and the puzzles are well designed. The jumping-into-the-hole animation is a nice touch of whimsy.

Very interesting game! At first I didn’t understand how to play, I looked at the map a couple of times and didn’t understand, and then I just moved the island and completed level 1! Cool implementation of the theme! And 3D carrots wow!

Really nice and chill game, great job and congrats on submission!

Minor QoL suggestions: Hide retry button while map is open (accidentally clicked on it a few times) and let players to close the map with right-click for faster game flow.

This was great for a 36 hour entry! I liked the juicy animation effects when you reach the goal.

Cute graphic and music. Love you take on the theme. Requires lot of rearranging , found the puzzles difficult as its not my usual type of game. Well done !!

Charming. Loving the vibes. But I didn't felt like it did fit the theme that well.

This game had a few levels but had me stumped for a while, nice intepretation of the theme.

That game is really nice, with very interesting challenges!
The second one is a lot harder than the first, so having more levels with a progressive difficulty in between could be nice :)
Also an improvement could be done on the drag&drop which is a bit hard to use.

Hey this is great! I really liked all the little animations for the game objects. I found the last level really challenging, really had to think and plan out my actions in advance.
