There’s ghosts! In the garden!!

A gnome happens across a dimmed faerie circle and wants to help! Explore the garden, punch ghosts, and figure out how to bring magic back to the circle. :sparkles:

This was my first Ludum Dare (and first game jam), and first time building a game with Godot. It was a really fun experience to build the most complex game I’ve ever made with an engine I’m new to, while working within the time constraints. :) There are quite a few things left unfinished, but I’m really happy to have completed a game. My partner Kat helped with concepts and artwork. :purple_heart:

- Built with Godot
- Art done in Aseprite
- Music created with Ableton Live
- Sound effects generated with jsfxr (https://sfxr.me)
- Font is Sniglet from The League of Moveable Type (https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/sniglet)

Nice submission :D, really nice for a first jam! Its pretty simple, but the animations are top notch. The only feedback I'd give is a sprint button would've been nice, but other than that love the vibes :>

Cool game! Really like pixelart, especially frogs and pond with mushrooms!

Nice job! Straightforward and easy to play. The frog jumping animation is actually so smooth and impressive. He delights me. Congrats!

Cute art, love the frog animations especially! After saving the frogs I wasn't entirely sure what the goal was, but the glowing mushrooms did help me figure it out.

Fantastic animations, and a really nice tile set. Nice keyboard hints in the beginning. The gameplay is simple, but that's the only downside. If the ghosts fought back, it could be more interesting.

Love it! The animations are so good! Game Design is simple but works perfectly. I had no bugs or other problems. Perfect for a first game jam!
