This game is really well done! The graphics are outstanding and the story is quite engaging!
Thank you so much for sharing your appreciation!
I became immersed in the narrative while enjoying a soothing gaming experience. The graphics are exceptional congratulations!
Thank you for playing our game! I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience :)
Amazing game, impressive for a jam, the graphics and the audio are outstanding, lovely.
Thanks a lot for your very kind words!
Wonderful! I'm impressed! The idea of the puzzles is really unique and fun :)
Wow i was not expecting that much story/depth into a jam game lol. the story had me hooked and the art is beautiful (even though AI helped with it). The main gameplay got a bit repetitive/boring after a while though. But even then, for a single week this is incredible. Well done!
Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback!
Amazing! Impressive, what can be achieved in one week.
Great artstyle and music. love the use of theme.
Great game ! The mood is really nice, the story is great, and the puzzle are well thought ! Nice
Thank you so much for your appreciation!
Game just amazing, I promised myself however not to put 5 stars if the programmers did not make the audio / graphics ... because it's a bit of cheating... But it's still the game I've rated best so far!!
Many thanks for sharing your thoughts!
OMG! I can't believe this game was made in just a week. Everything is very good: the graphics, the music... The game is so accomplished and clean!
Thanks a lot for your very warm feedback! Truth be told, the week just whizzed past while making this one :)
Very fun game. Great aesthetics and story. Rare to see these types of games in a jam. Very fresh take. Great job!!
Thanks a lot for playing our game and for your kind appreciation!
Nice puzzle game.
Good choice of music that changes based on the stage of the story.
Although AI generated, I still have to give some compliments on the art, the style is consistent and very much to my taste.
Loved the story, I played it till the end, I really want to know what happened to my redhead mermaid girlfriend.
One minor thing you can improve on: Some color of the tile is very light, and doesn't give much contrast to the white "path", and is really hard to see.
Hi there! Thank you so much for playing our game through to the very end!
Thanks too, for the feedback about the contrast, definitely an easy win for us to improve :))
P.S.: My husband (the narrator's voice) was so disappointed that I didn't write a full spin off for her, hehe
Very good game. great graphics and a different approach on diving deeper. Its cool. We thoughtabout something similar, diving deeper into the internet, but we hadnt the artists to support the idea. Very nice submission.
Thanks a lot for playing our game and sharing your thoughts! This was outside our usual comfort zone, too - and diving deeper into the internet sounds like a very interesting take on the theme indeed.
Great story! Maybe some of the puzzles are a little too long as some of them seem a little unnecessary and you just want to hear the story. But very cute game and great story!
Many thanks for your feedback! Glad you liked the story :))
Puzzles aren't my thing, but I really liked how polished and how good it feels overall. The story seems good, but I could not enjoy it fully because of the English a bit difficult for my mid-level. The illustrations very good, I'm surprised you did them with AI. Good work!
Thanks a lot for stepping out of your comfort zone and giving our game a chance!
Very nice puzzle game with nice story and great style
Many thanks for your lovely words of encouragement!
Great game! Beautiful art and enjoyable puzzles!
Thanks a lot for your very kind words!
Wow that was amazing! I don't think I've ever seen puzzles like that before, I loved the idea! Like others have said here: it's very entertaining and addictive. I absolutely loved the story and the voice lines that told it.
Hello there, thank you so much for playing our game! We're delighted you found it addictive and entertaining - and it made our day to know that you enjoyed the storytelling!
It doesn't happen that often that i decide to fully finish playing a game jam game, but i actually fell in love with this concept. Very fun puzzles, good story, beautiful art and even voice acting! Great job!
We're so glad you loved it! Thank you for playing our game all the way through :))
Hey, love the game. I can spend hours doing these kind of puzzles. They are so interesting and addictive. Keep up the good work 👍The story telling aswell is masterful, love it.
Thank you for playing our game and sharing the encouragement!
