🌳 Yo Jam squad! Your chaotic forest goblins (aka Glimmerwood Catchlings) are back to MISINTERPRET the theme in the best way possible 🌱✨🧹
Players be like: “Wait… in this demo we just grow tiny plants… but where’s the ‘Take Control’??” 🥺👉👈
Oh, we heard “Take Control” loud and clear. We took it so seriously we’re basically the HOA presidents of the entire ecosystem now.
Planting a sapling in the demo? That’s just the warm-up. 🌱 The real “Take Control” begins when those saplings start demanding sunlight rights.
Because they’re not just saplings anymore—in the final game they’ll evolve from “cute desk decorations” into fully armed environmental overlords inside the brand-new Catchling Sanctuary zone.
And trust me, the Sanctuary isn’t just a cozy garden. When you roll up with a backpack full of saplings, the game whispers: “Welcome home, war criminal. Time to take control… for real.” 🌍🔥
Appreciate your time and support!!!!
Fingers crossed this plants an extra star in our surrounding environment rating 🌱⭐.
I won't rate this cause the game looks very much like AI. It's a good game, but I would obviously have to give the graphics 1 star if they're AI generated. But if they're not, then I guess you're very good at making AI looking art.
Edit: I read some of your replies and the way you used AI is completely fine so good job.
🌱 Thank you so much for playing ! 💖
I used AI tools to assist with many tasks, but every asset was iteratively refined and customized to fit the theme. That way, even as a solo developer, it was possible to bring the whole visual style together. (3dmodel, image editing etc.)
As per JAM rules you can use AI tools. And If you are making game for players than you need to maintain quality as well as efficiency to deliver best experience. It's actually great to utilize AI for game making for batter result. But using randomly generated assets can spoil the quality.
So yes, it’s a one‑person team effort, with AI helping as a creative partner.
i love this game and its art style too!
💖 I’m glad you enjoyed —it means a lot to us. ✨
Your feedback will help shape the game, and the final version will be out soon.
When the game is complete, I’d be delighted if you’d return to explore it!
🌸 Thank you so much!

This is a solid catching game! Love the characters! the sounds is okay, my take is that some assets are AI which deducts pints on originality but nonetheless the game is still fun to play! Great job keep up the good work!

Everything is awesome, it's just the fact the graphics are by AI, but next time even if the graphics turn out bad draw it yourself as then it will reflect your bright ideas!

Did you guys create the graphics yourself? If so, that's amazing!

Holaa, la jugabilidad es simple pero entretenida, el tutorial aunque simple cumple muy bien!. Aunque hay que perfeccionar un poco las opciones porque me perdí un poco y la animación hay que arreglarla porque se bugea, pero está entretenido!
🌸 ¡Muchas gracias por compartir tus pensamientos! 💖
I’m glad you found the gameplay entertaining and the tutorial helpful. You’re absolutely right — some options and animations need improvement, and your feedback will help guide those improvements. ✨ This demo menu was kept minimal for the jam, but the final version will be smoother and more refined.
I hope you’ll revisit when it’s ready — your encouragement means a lot! 🚀

why does it look like ai?
🌱 Thank you so much for playing! 💖
The assets weren’t entirely generated by AI — I used AI tools to assist with many tasks, but every asset was iteratively refined and customized to fit the theme. That way, even as a solo developer, it was possible to bring the whole visual style together.
So yes, it’s a one‑person team effort, with AI helping as a creative partner rather than doing everything on its own ✨

Amazing graphics — really beautiful visual style! 😍
After clicking the checkmark button, I needed to click again and it sent me into a really nice simple tutorial, which I loved. But after that I wasn’t sure what to do next. I clicked the home button, then the checkmark again, and it sent me into another tutorial screen — I got a bit confused about where I was supposed to go 😅
When I finally typed my name and pressed the home button again, the actual game started — but I’m still not sure why it worked at that moment.
So I think simplifying the flow there would help a lot for new players 👍
Overall the game is simple and very beautiful — feels like something perfect for phone or tablet, especially for kids 👌
I only missed keyboard controls (like arrow keys) on PC, but that’s just my personal preference.
Great work!
🌱 Thank you so much for sharing such detailed feedback—it truly helps! 💖
Menu & Onboarding: In the jam build, first-time players are directed to the settings section for nickname setup and a basic guide (what to catch/avoid). You’re absolutely right that the opening menu feels confusing. Because of file size and other limits, the setup was kept minimal, but the full release will feature a clearer, streamlined menu so players can jump in without friction.
🎮 Your encouragement means a lot, and your feedback will directly shape improvements. I hope you’ll revisit when the final version is ready—it’s going to be lovely! 🚀
Thanks again...
Wow that's pretty good. Very creative. Anyway please try my game series Skyline Master.

Managed to get a score of 4055 on my first try. which put me at 5th on the leader board.
The audio stands out, really good job there.
Gameplay loop is simple and seems very replayable.
At some points I felt way too slow compare to how fast items were falling.
The screen fade transition felt way too slow for me.
Also I didn't really understand what some of the bugs were doing.
Bugs:
Character's walking animation keeps playing when not moving.
While writing this comment I left the game open and the audio stopped looping.
Not sure if I just missed it but there's no way to exit the game other than closing the tab?
🌟 Thank you so much for sharing such detailed feedback—it really helps us improve! 💖
Huge congrats on hitting 4055 and landing 5th place on your first try—that’s impressive! 🎉 I’m glad the audio and replay loop stood out positively.
Thanks for pointing out the confusion around the bugs. We’ll make their roles clearer in the final build.
Game exit: game's pc version has exit. but I was unable to figure out what kind of exit flow I should put for web version(And for game jam).
