Yes, got a chance to play it!
Your loop mechanic is very cool, and probably a lot less frustrating than ours if you don't know what's going on. I really liked that the first loop was super short so that you could sell the idea of the time loop without there being too much at stake. The dialogue that coaches you through it is super helpful.
Lovely art, lovely idea, and a great start if you do decide to develop it further. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed our game, thank you! :)
We'd like to continue the game, yes. Hope we'll be able to do it! :)
I wish I could draw backgrounds like that. Fun little game, I liked the characters and the timer mechanics - I just wish there was more to it :)
If I *must* have one complaint, the outlined clickables broke the immersion a bit. I know it's probably by design given the mess JayJay lives in, but since I'm the kind of player who is going to click all hotspots anyway, I found them distracting :D I would have found the objects eventually!
Thanks Guga, really happy to read that :)
Just to let your know, I think the outline will be set as an easy/hard mode in the future. I didn't have the time to code it properly during the jam, but that's a feature I want to add. I know hardcore p&c players won't like to play with them :)
This is terrific. The art is just stunning, the characters are fun. I especially love JayJay. I was a little worried about the time limit at first, but luckily it's not a problem, even for leisurely players like me. Can't wait for future time travels shenanigans.
P.S.: I really want my own anti-paradox box now. That thing sounds handy. :)
Very happy to hear, thanks :) Yes, you have plenty of time to solve the puzzles :)
I'm going to make my own anti-paradox boxes then, I'm sure there is a market for it ;)
This was fun! Outstandig graphics, I would love to see a full game (next Inspector Waffles?) in this look! (but I'll take an extended version of pixel's time paradox as well. ^^) Please continue this game!!!
(and I knew microwaves were always useful...)
Happy to hear, glad you like the look of it :)
Yes, we are all motivated to continue the game :)
What stands out here is the beautiful handdrawn backgrounds and the time-loop narrative. The last puzzle seemed a little bit contrived but the solid writing and the fitting music made more than up for it. I hope to see how this conundrum can be resolved in the future!
Thanks Gregor, glad you like it overall! :)
About the last puzzle, we'll help players to understand it easily in a future build, when the jam will be over. We think it's a cool puzzle but which needs improvements.
I also played your game today, I'll share a review really soon! :)
I loved it! Really want to see how the story continues. It could become a nice spin-off title for the main IW universe, a worth addition indeed.
Thanks Steven, glad to hear! We hope to continue it, well at least I partiarly wrote the rest of the story :)
Cool short game! I've enjoyed it! :)
Thank you, very happy to hear! :)
Wow - wonderful game - only too short for how beautiful it is :-) - congratulations :-)
Thanks Marco! :) Really glad that you like it!
I was sad when it abruptly ended. I wanted to keep playing and see what happens. A few confusing things at times (like that he keeps saying he wants to take the microwave cord before he travels in time but won't take it), but great art and engaging story.
Glad you like the art and story, Vance :) We hope to continue the story later in the future.
Thanks for your feedback!
Absolutely gorgeous! Can't wait to see where this goes!
(Also I highly approve of your team logo)
Thanks, hope we'll do more of it! :)
And glad you like our beautiful pizza :)
This is so good!!!! I loved it
Thanks a lot, happy to hear :)
Awwww, this was really cute! I watched you post art updates in Discord and was really excited to check the game out! I grabbed the walkthrough just to be able to play through quickly (I have prior engagements today, I'm afraid) but I really enjoyed every moment of this! It was funny, it was clever, the art is fantastic and I got a great vibe overall! Pixel is a good kitty and I'm looking forward to seeing more of his adventures! :)
I'd appreciate it if you could find the time to check out my own entry, The Chronicles of Mega-Mart! There's no time travel, but there IS a baby in a shopping cart! :)
