The collage aesthetic is really nice and the gameplay is really fun, especially with friends! Excited to see where you go with this!

Love this game! Beautiful, such a unique design, and super polished! Great work!

Pls let me join a game dev club 😭 excited to see more if y'all keep working on this!

Wow.... this was fantastic. Art, visuals, narrative, mechanic 10/10.
100% felt like uncovering a narrative from scratch :)

Thank you so much for playing to the end!!!
Also, I agree about the checkpoint sound, it should probably only play when you get a new trashcan
Since you left such a kind review, I'll give you a bit of hidden lore--Filo is named after the acronym FILO (First In Last Out) for stacks hahaha

Hahaha and an absolute disaster for our sleep schedules 😢
Glad you had fun :)

We love absurdity hahaha... if you want to see something even weirder check out the other game on my page https://jrschappert.itch.io/the-adventures-of-radish-boy-2

We didn't think of that, but I love that comparison! Super Mario Odyssey is such a masterpiece!

Thank you!!

So glad you liked it and thanks for your suggestions!!
Camera dithering and Staccoon/newspaper counters are high on our priority list!

Staccoon/newspaper tracking was on our to-do list but didn't quite get done :(
Shoutout to Felix (flooferdoodle) for spending literally all night laying out Stacoon Island!!
Also here's an extended earlier version of the track if you want to hear some more! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JoQhCkc_O5W8ig4zQkfJpVLq7a-xfx12/view?usp=shari...

The sword effect is wonderful and gives an iconic look to the game, especially when you get farther. Also like the intro. Great work!

Honestly I'm a sucker for these randomly generated text adventure games and this scratched that itch!
Kind of reminds me of this hunger games simulator https://brantsteele.net/hungergames/reaping.php
I like how you have to watch your weight limit and kind of push your luck!
Well done!

Love all the little details, like how the music changes pitch when you change characters!
Could totally see this being a fantastic VR/co-op game! Well done!

So much fun! Reminds me a bit of Minecraft Skyblock! It's always so much fun building something big from scratch! Excellent work!

We'd love to see the link too if you do!

Thank you so much!!
I was thinking about what we could do to expand from here but I'm not really sure where we would go... maybe space 👀
Appreciate the feedback!

Sorry about the camera-- dithering and sensitivity settings are on the top of our improvement list-- thanks for playing!

Thank youuuuuu
Loved climbing super high in your game too! I will get to the top some day!!
Also, A Short Hike was one of our inspirations!

I absolutely love seeing the word "intuitive" here... that was probably my main focus in this jam, making an open-world where players wouldn't get confused about where to go and what to do-- one of the things we did that I think was the most helpful for this was the button camera cuts, but there's a lot of work that goes into getting that word "intuitive" to pop up in our comments! Anyway, thank you so much for playing!

This! This exactly the balance we were going for! Yayyyy!
Also hahahaha we're all super happy with the end result, but the impact on our sleep was.... less than ideal... 100% worth it though, would do again!

Follow my itch if you want to see potential updates and more from us :)

We hope you make it to Staccoon Island 🙏!! Filo is counting on you! You've got this!

Cuter than Yoshi??? That's some high praise 🫶
The sequence breaking is super intended!!! (but then is it even still sequence breaking? what even is the sequence? these are questions for a philosopher or something)
But anyway, we wanted to bring you the joy of cheating! If you want another game where you can (and are encouraged to) cheat to your heart's content, check out our other game from GMTK 2023 https://jrschappert.itch.io/the-adventures-of-radish-boy-2

Awww thanks so much!!
If we had another newspaper it would've been about office workers complaining about vertigo in the wonky tilted skyscraper :)
Your game is also super super charming!

Thank you so much!! Loved your game as well!

OMG we could have wind sounds!! Love the idea of silencing the music at the top too!!
Also I absolutely love how you wrote "stacc"

So happy you had fun and I'm sorry you couldn't reach Staccoon Island 😢
I don't think you're bad at searching, but you can finish the game with 15/23 Staccoons (although its much easier the more you get)
We may have been just a little to good at hiding them hahaha

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

First of all, I just want to say thank you from the entire Staccoons team and from Filo for reaching Staccon Island! It means the world to us and to him!

Shoutout to Felix (flooferdoodle) who made the bobbing animation (they aren't drowning at least I hope not 😢)

Also, I was actually working on a speedrun timer right towards the end of the jam but we didn't quite get it in in time! Follow my itch to see potential updates and more from this team!

We're so happy that you played to the end!! Thank you so much!!
Sequence skipping is absolutely intended! We bring you... the joy of cheating hahaha!
Also, dithering is for sure on the top of our list for potential improvements

Shout out to Joe (jarch2) who planned out and diagrammed our entire open world!!!
