Save Us From A Cornless World, Cob Corner!
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Help recornify the world! Bounce the Cob Corner Gnome onto the kernels to collect them and place more kernels until the cob is complete! Unlock special kernels in the shop and place them wisely to maximize your corning.
Sadly no web build, as I made it with a custom engine that just doesn't have that functionality. Maybe someday! In the meantime we're playing it oldschool, grab a download below!
Plays entirely with the mouse.
Made by Lorraine, with music composed by Pentadrangle, all in 72h for the Cozy Spring Jam 2026! (with very little testing 😬) The theme was "Shifting Reality". Might continue working on it later!
EDIT:
The game turns out to be a little buggy around the edges. Sorry about that!
The jam doesn't allow patching until the rating phase is over, so please ⚠️ do NOT buy the bomb corn, it's the dark blue one, it WILL crash the game! ⚠️
Also, placing corn at the very bottom of the cob may result in a premature win, so please avoid doing that too. (and you might need to restart the executable if you want to have another try) Thanks for playing!

this looks so fun! I would love a full version with fixed bugs
Fun and addictive little game
I like the gameplay a lot! Very neat idea letting me place my own obstacles for maximum points. Not sure if I accidentally won in the end or if that was the intended ending, but either way I had a good time.Congrats on the game jam! Keep up the great work!!
fun game, I just wish I could reset things without closing it down and reopening it
Super jeu comme d'habitude :D Le côté 3D apporte pas mal au genre du peggle like je trouve. Et tout est super clean et beau.
J'ai foutu des unstable corn de partout donc difficile d'anticiper les lancers mais j'ai bien ri au moins. J'ai juste pas compris pourquoi parfois le gnome part vers le haut ou le bas donc compliqué de viser mais pour une jam entry c'est pas gênant du tout.
Bien joué !
There's something so satisfying and charming about this game that I keep coming back to it, despite the bugs. I can't figure out what the win condition is--as I get a good run the score will go up then down, and eventually stop somewhere in the middle and tell me I won. I hope you get a chance to patch some bugs and make a post-jam release after the ratings are done, because I'd love to play it. Amazing work for 72h!

Guess I used unstable corn too much, Ouch...
It's the bomb corn, it crashes the game when you hit it! I'm really sorry about it, I couldn't test it properly during the jam and now I can't fix it until the rating phase is over. 😔 If you try again, don't buy the bomb corn!
If I place kernels too close to the bottom, the game says I won after the next attempt, even if it was the first time I placed anything and if it was only 1 kernel! And then afterward the game goes into other game modes that are all won instantly. It's very weird! That said, this is a very cute game! I'd love to play it again!
That's what I get for implementing the win condition 10 minutes before the jam's deadline!! haha, thanks for checking it out and for the kind words!
Haha, that's fair. And of course! ^^ <3
1 other bug I noticed when playing again is that, when placing kernels by clicking and holding to drawing them onto the cob, they get rapidly depleted into nonexistant spaces at the very top of the cob, just above the topmost row of spaces the kernels are placed. The same happens at the very bottom of the cob (though I know to avoid it for now, I figured I'd check).
This is really cool! It's fun to bounce on corn. :D
Sadly, the blue popcorn corn seems to be buggy. I've had a crash twice now when I placed one and hit it. Not actually sure if it works without crashing or I just got unlucky.
Thanks!! Ahh it is probably bugged, I'm really sorry, I was really short on time at the end and couldn't test everything properly. :/
