DAMN that was intense!!!! Was at the edge of my seat practically the whole time, thank god for those checkpoints!! Everything in thsi game is incredible, the graphics are great, the music is awesome and gets you pumped without being overbearing, and the puzzle design is absolutely ingenious and so creative????? Like INSANELY creative, every single one was such a unique idea, normally you'd see simon says or cutting wires and those are good and all, but these were all so fun and whimsical, I love the snail munching sounds and its little "yay!" and the mouse squeaking and the tub with the plants growing in them (and how it was two different versions of the same puzzle!!) with its own mini ecosystem and raincloud, and the monster getting nauseous with the turning, it's all just so fun!!! That really is the best way to describe it!! :D And also love the reveal at the end that the world is in a bottle, and that's why they needed the golden bottle cap, the whole setting is so whimsical I know I already said that but it's true!!!
Absolutely loved this, possibly one of my favourite games on itchio, incredibly creative, excellent UI, wonderful graphics, charming setting, fun puzzles, challenging gameplay without being too punishing, 10000000/10 wish I could give it 6 stars instead of just 5 <3
Ok I was really enjoying it, but the section with the super low time limit puzzles is pretty much impossible for me on touchpad. I really want to beat the game, and I assume it is one of the last sections, but without a mouse it might be actually impossible for me. Unfortunate, great game otherwise
Absolutely amazing game. Loved every second of playing
This game is actually amazing! In my opinion it REALLY should've won the jam easily. I cannot understand this game not being first in every category??? To me this is injustice.
It's honestly one of my favourite game of all times.
I just, want to play it again and again, forever.
By the way, here is my tierlist (ranked from how interesting and enjoyable it was):
PS: The alien deserved B tier, BUT I HATE HIM.
Super fun game! You had me on the edge of my seat for the last few sections. Y'all managed to fit a really impressive amount of juice and gameplay into this within the jam timeframe, great work!
Also the Snowman puzzle is S tier ☃️
Thank you! I'm glad you're a snowman believer, that's my favorite one as well :)
have my babies
Incredible game! The charm just keeps flowing like the water does. Had my heart racing and I was super engaged the entire time. Absolutely awesome stuff!
(PS: Snowman fans DNI)
snowman position is based
All the aspects of the game are perfectly executed! It feels like a really good commercial game
Fantastic work! Amazing idea that is executed with charm, finesse, and polish.
This game made me very happy to be right-side up, very cool gimmicks that work very gentlemanly together
very nice game :) gj everyone
Thank you!! Didn't expect to see you here :)
This game is completely fantastic! The modules are intuitive to understand yet also cleverly interlink in a myriad of ways that are so so stressful to complete in the time limit, which makes the game one of those beautiful "simple to understand, hard to master" kind of deals.
