Witch Wanda: Wandaring Candyland

Pretty graphics, nice palette, but I thought it didn't help with the platforming, made it harder to jump. Maybe add shadow to the player?

I love the graphics, very cute and lovely colors, and the sound is also great! It feels almost like puzzle game, trying to figure out the dimensions. Too bad it's quite short though.

Very cool! An interesting play on the importance of the camera angle. Reminds me of Fez. I do wish it was longer because I wanted to play more. I think there's plenty of potential for new game mechanics that use the camera angle in creative ways. I can easily imagine some secret spots on the map that are impossible to see unless you move the camera in just the right way.

I like the aesthetic! A 3D game is always cool to see in gm48 but this one was a nice mix of 3d and nice small res pixel art, and the palette was very pleasing to the eye.

Edit: I'm now reading other people's feedback and it looks like some weren't a fan of the orthographic view but honestly I thought that was what made the game unique! I think the platforming was in a good way challenging because of the camera and how you had to turn the camera to the right angle to make each jump.

Impressive that you pulled off the 3D effect in such a short time! I sometimes had trouble with jumping from platform to platform, but the game's charm and visual polish made up for that :)

Great job on the visuals and techno-wizardry you pulled off for the rotating view. Music was great too.

The game needs a shadow!!!! !!
!!!!
Well, I know other have said this, and also that you need to rotate the camera to get a side view, which makes jumps way easier, but still. Sometimes you think a jump will be easy, and you fail miserably, and sometimes there's just something in the way so you can't get the right view.
I also got confused for a few seconds with the first star, especially with the perspective, I though I was missing it.
But apart from those two things, this was a really cool game. The perspective is pretty impressive, and I definitely wish it was longer. I feel like when I finally had the hang of it it was already over 😅

A short game but a nice short game! I really like the visuals and the 3D camera, the only issue I had is that you can't really feel the depth of the objects, which made jumping between platforms a little too hard. Maybe adding a little shadow under the player would help. Despite that, nice little game! Really impressive that you did that in only 48 hours!

PS: I noticed there's an .csv file included with the game, did you by any chance ask something about .csv files in one of the GameMaker Discord server's help channels? I remember seeing something asking about them.

Has a lot of potential, the camera perspective makes platforming less than pleasant though.

Fun game! The artstyle is quite nice. It's definitely challenging to estimate some of the jumps, but with the fast respawns I was able to complete it quickly.

I love it a lot. It looks beautiful with a magical soundtrack and fun sfx.

I was trying to get the first star for a long time even by jumping and walking around it for a long time until I gave up. That's when I realized I had already gotten the star and it was following me. Haha.

Loved the candy canes in the ground! Great job

a really cute, succinct puzzle platformer. Really crisp art direction and a great technical achievement. The sound design and music work so well with the overall feel. A really impressive and complete accomplishment for the 48 hours. You should be extremely happy with it!

Wow, from a technical perspective that was incredibly impressive. Like, I wouldn't begin to have an idea how to do that. Like several of the others have said, I think having a shadow might have helped with depth perception in some cases, but since the player's position was always saved, making a mistake wasn't a big deal. The art and music were all really charming too!

That's prettty amazing and clever! I'm not sure how much it really fit the theme, but I'm also not sure how much I care, haha. Is that done with any actual 3d functions? Or all tricks and illusions?

Truly stunning - the cutesy graphics and artwork are one thing but the sheer genius to put together a 3D game like this is a marvel of your coding ability and I am so impressed by that, amazing job! :)

Real nice visuals and theme! Good job putting everything up in 2 days work!

Feedback:

• Had a hard time to graps the depth and navigate the level unfortunatelly...
• Nice music

Very short and sweet.

Super cool visuals and mechanic, especially for a 48 jam!

My only problem was that it was hard to gauge depth sometimes but rotating the camera a bit solved that for the most part.

Overall one of my favorites so far.

Super cool rotating graphics! I wish there was a shadow underneath the character, so I would know where I was landing, but other than that, I thought it was really well made. Good art style and 2d/3d mix.

Very cool visuals. I really dig the billboard-style sprites like the trees and candy corn. As for navigating, I found the best way to move was to consistently spin the camera around and sorta twirl my controls to match, that way I could gauge the depth of things more effectively.

I like the idea of collecting stars and having them follow you, I'd have liked some kind of sound or indicator that I collected the star though. When I got the first one, it didn't react, so I thought that I hadn't actually collected it until I walked away and it started following.

How did Wanda get stuck in this candy land? Where's her broom? Maybe she should try using a candy cane like a broom to escape.

Great visuals! The environment, especially the foliage gets in the way when playing, even though there is the option to rotate the view. Another big point is that with a platformer game like this it would be great to have some sort of shadow for the character, otherwise the player won't know where he is landing when jumping. Walking also felt pretty slow & heavy. A beautifully created game, but the gameplay itself feels a bit bland. Thumbs up for the pastel scheme!

-What a cute Game- 1: The Camera works fine most of the Time. But sometimes the environment is in the way and you only see the character but not the next Platform that you want to jump to. 2: I also do not know exactly where the discovery is. 3:The Game was fun to play 4: the visuals were pretty adorable 5: i like how the Punishment of dying is not huge (you restart where you die). It makes up for confusing camera angles

Very cool idea! I loved the aesthetic and the gameplay and the vibe! my only concern is that the use of the perspective was more of a bump of a ride than a feature. It looks great though, I had wished that we could use that perspective shift to discover a secret passage or some sort or play on the logics of reality.

Very, very cool. I can't believe you managed to do this type of isometric camera in 48 hours. The art was super cute, the sounds and music fit. The controls were fantastic too- not sure how you made it "help" the player during perspective-dependent jumps but it works really well. Nice!

Not super sure this really fits the theme of discovery though, as it felt more like collecting the stars since I could see them all from the beginning.
