Keep at it! Took me three attempts to pass.
Anything the forum might be able to help with?
One issue is that they don’t see ads, while I tested it a lot and it works for me, from different browsers, only sometimes I see an info that there is no adv to show:
But otherwise I see ads without any problems:
Second is regarding saving progress - it also works for me, but it looks like saving in browser cache is not working for them. I have a workaround for this sadly - I enabled all the levels from the very beginning, so there is no more “progress” to save.
Third is regarding some problems with buttons, that don’t want to work “sometimes” - and I can’t define why - I am trying to debug it now
Ah, the old “it works on my machine” type problems. The worst!
There’s a three minute cooldown for showing adverts. The advert wont display if requested within that limit. That’s really the only thing I can think of.
For this limit there is another error message, I also saw it. I don’t know. Previously adv was playing after 10th level, maybe they were not playing it again, so now I changed to play after 3rd (First 3 are the easiest, one shot levels). I submitted the game with corrected input handling (used gui.picknode instead of wrapper onscreen I was not so familiar with)
Why not after every level? I think Yandex will throttle ads anyway so that you can’t show too many ads.
In this jam, I tried to make a 3d game for the first time. And this is my first experience using blender in games. I was making a game in my free time. I had to set my morning alarm an hour earlier. Of course, I would like to add a lot, but unfortunately the timing of the jam is limited.
I uploaded now a version with ads trying to be displayed after each level and that timeout by Yandex indeed blocks them. Submitted for moderation ![]()
So. My target was:
A little game is ready ![]()
Sent game to review Dec 9, in moderation yet ![]()

Congratulations @Alexander_Bulatov and @Dragosha, very good games! Generally this jam is full of high quality, fun games! 
Amazing stuff!
Epic! Amazing work as always, Dragosha!
I can’t find the last ball T-T but I suspect something went wrong down here. I can see a shadow but not the object. Maybe the last ball bugged for me?
possibly bug ( Try to: exit to previous location and back. Balls should spawn again on their place.
I did this on the previous session but didnt work (the stage was cleared already. It didn’t reset). I closed the game and tried the continue option. The first time I coudn’t move my character. I did refresh the page and all looks normal now. All balls there \o/ Good job again!
I was lucky enough to finish my jam game in time:
It had to be a failure for many reasons, I only had night time at my disposal, development was complete improvisation. Until the very end I had no idea how it would end. But everything somehow settled by itself 
The game will take 12 - 20 minutes to beat (according to leaderboard).
Game mechanics are based on drawpixels extension by @AGulev.
Also, huge gratitude goes to the Russian Defold community for ideas, advice, stress testing and feedback.
Some strange words i’ve used:
Yolka is a transliteration of the Russian word meaning New Year Tree (usually spruce).
Baba Yaga is a flying cannibal witch from Slavic folklore.
