There was already a game with a similar pocket-themed concept, but in that one you had to move a hand instead of objects. I enjoyed playing this one just as much! Everything is beautifully drawn, and the sound design is very pleasant =)

I love the art ! Quite a fun game too, even though it's a bit hard in the begining, maybe should have tried to start with less objects and progressively increase the difficulty. Other than that great game :)

very pleasant atmosphere and implementation)

marudziik8 Apr 2025, 09:46

Wow, what a polished title! I enjoyed it a lot! The mood is on point, I hate the go#%!amn book so much tho, always gets in the way!!! :unamused: :sweat_smile:

Ammonit8 Apr 2025, 12:39

Love at first sight! Simple, interesting, stylish, and enticing!!!

7uc4s8 Apr 2025, 16:17

really cool, took me a some time to understand that I cannot move the dinosaur x)

Indiealesha8 Apr 2025, 20:53

Beautiful and atmospheric graphics. The theme is well-executed too. Great job!

Jordanfb9 Apr 2025, 01:18

great game! I played it a bunch of times until I got 5 stars. That banana is tricky! It took me a while to figure out the trick but it was quite clever. Would be fun to see other levels with similar mechanics! Very cute with great audio nice work!

GoogleFrog9 Apr 2025, 01:25

Really well put together. I spent a while trying to move the dinosaur with the mouse. The extra challenges were a great way to have the player explore the game a bit more.

MadelineF9 Apr 2025, 13:32

I like the graphics :-) a simple interesting original game. Well done !

2009yasha20099 Apr 2025, 17:01

Hmm... this game is definitely very cute :) The art style is absolutely lovely :) The controls felt a bit unfamiliar at first, but still manageable~ It turned out to be quite a cozy little game! The mechanic with hiding objects especially surprised and delighted me — thank you so much!

Arluci9 Apr 2025, 17:25

I love everything about this an would definitly buy a longer version on steam!!!

clymm9 Apr 2025, 22:33

The drawn art is awesome love the style! Was challenging - short and sweet! Would love to see more bags and challenges to unpack :wink:

Doppler Affect9 Apr 2025, 23:28

SO cute and very fun! Love the way the game looks and feels. Awesome entry :p

Agraffs11 Apr 2025, 20:03

Nice project, liked the idea. Simple but efficiant. Well done. ;)

OadT12 Apr 2025, 07:47

Super cute and fun game! The graphics and music fit great together. The gameplay is simple but very fun, wished there were one or two more levels :smile:

jk500012 Apr 2025, 10:02

A simple, sweet and relaxing little game. Well done.

fnelix13 Apr 2025, 12:55

Nice! Very cool that we made pretty similar games that still play different! I played on mobile and had no problems. Interacting with the pencil case and contents was a nice surprise. I enjoyed the chill music

Texugo13 Apr 2025, 20:14

I absolutely love this! Cute, pretty, funny sounds and engaging gameplay that made me want to try again and again to improve my score.

ryusui13 Apr 2025, 22:28

Cute and clever. As much of a puzzle as a test of reflexes/spatial awareness. Didn't manage to finish with an undamaged banana but I got the pencil case tidied up and cleaned things up enough that I was able to help Timmy grab his dinosaur on the second try (3 stars). I love the bit where you can see him *slowwwly* unzipping the bag before he starts grabbing - a nicely ominous little countdown before the fun starts!

t-pirozzini14 Apr 2025, 21:38

Surprisingly awesome! I enjoyed receiving the score and then optimizing for my second play through. The camera, polish, gameplay, little features like the star sounds and bruising banana, all come together to make this feel like a really quality and complete submission. Thanks!

Sandra Lin15 Apr 2025, 06:55

Very cute! I love how simple the gameplay is, though it took me a few tries to figure out the left/right controls. A very polished "level one" with the music, graphics, and details like the mushy banana. Would love to see more!

librory15 Apr 2025, 08:17

Idea with stars is brilliant, and game overall is one of my favs on ld57!

Mambomanauthor15 Apr 2025, 08:26

@librory thank you very much! @everyone thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate it and it pushes the motivation so much!

Tryam15 Apr 2025, 11:53

Nice game! The music sets a relaxing atmosphere. It's cool that you can interact with objects. Thanks for the sound settings and for the controls. I would definitely play other levels as well.

Fis15 Apr 2025, 12:10

really nice game, the interactions with the objects is a nice idea and works quite well - but I did not figure out how to keep the banana safe from any harm!

Jacky San15 Apr 2025, 14:09

Wow what a nice little game :heart:

Very good game design idea :wink:
Good job !

Borabee15 Apr 2025, 17:42

Very cute and fun idea! I liked the additional challenges. I wish there were more levels!

DevilXrom17 Apr 2025, 22:53

Such a cute and fun game! The graphics and music are top-notch, and interacting with objects is enjoyable. The game is very short, but leaves a great impression. Would love to see more levels with similar mechanics. Great job!

Carraka18 Apr 2025, 11:32

Wow, Timmy sure needed help! This was a lot of fun. My only desire was for some sort of level progression to slowly learn and juggle the priorities. I spent too much time trying to move the dinosaur up for Timmy and thinking I was being stopped by physics rather than the game.

Mambomanauthor18 Apr 2025, 13:33

@tryam @borabee @carraka thank you! We definitely wanted to integrate more levels. The time was too short though so we decided to prioritize polishing one level over designing more. Maybe we'll add some extra levels after the jam =)

randomhuman18 Apr 2025, 15:33

Wow that's a charming game! I love the little vocalisations.

Took me a few tries to get top marks because I didn't understand you could put things inside other things the first time, and because that banana is so delicate. It took quite a beating on my first try.

Thoastbot19 Apr 2025, 16:57

WOW - great game!
Its kinda hard, but really easy to understand! I LOVE the graphics, they fit so perfectly. And you also got a replay apeal with the achievments.
Got my first win with a little bug/cheat - i somehow pushed the notebook over the hand and it got stuck, so i basically removed it from the game. Made it waaay easier :D

Ryano20 Apr 2025, 04:26

Beautiful artwork and really clever gameplay. Had a lot of fun with it!

pranav.cl21 Apr 2025, 15:21

Everything from the itch.io page to the main menu, cutscene and actual game is so cute! Well polished and fun.

Yorsh22 Apr 2025, 22:24

The ability to put stuff in the containers is really fun and make the gameplay works. Graphics go well with the game. A level 2 would have been nice. Great job!

Norah23 Apr 2025, 21:38

So so good, beautiful and fun !! I was sad there weren't more levels haha

Wallted25 Apr 2025, 13:01

This is a beautiful, beautiful game with totally wholesome setting. The fact you managed to insert a few cool challenges in this pocket game is fantastic. I could not let this game go until I made sure the banana is alright and well ⊂(・﹏・⊂). I love it very much. Great work.
