This game made me speechless in terms of visuals!!! it's amazing, the puzzles were simple, but I think that was good thing, my game had difficult puzzles many complained about it 🫠

In general, I am impressed by the game great job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing our game! Truth be told, I'm still not sure how to reliably get the difficulty just right. This time I think it was a lot of effort from my husband (you know him as the narrator's voice!), some playtesting, and some alignment of the stars, hehe.

Overall, really great entry. I can see how this framework could be used to make games in this style very quickly. The art is surprisingly good for AI too. Well done.

Very interesting concept for a story-driven game, unraveling the story by completing the puzzles felt nice and interesting, but some sections felt a little bit too long in my opinion, well done :)

One of the best game I've played so far. The music, the art, and the ambience of the game it all resonates so perfectly so much that even after so much playthrough it doesn't feel old. loved how the puzzle just falls in place with the art. I've so many words for this game but not enough word to describe how much I've loved this game.

Wow, this was clearly well made with a lot of attention to detail. High ratings for me. Unfortunately I'm a doofus and couldn't make it through the 3rd level. The difficulty shot up immediately. I was excited to see where it was going. If this was ever worked on more, I'd find a way to give hints to the players that need it.

Wow! This is super well made! I absolutely loved playing this!

beautiful.  well polished, good story.  just the right length -- when I got to the final puzzle, I thought to myself, "this is getting a little repetitive" and then it ended.

I almost wish the mosaic levels were one gigantic one.  Great user of the shapes of the images to drive the puzzles.  I had a hard time with the first kraken puzzle, but the rest went really quickly.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game and sharing your thoughts... one gigantic mosaic does sound fun :))

Wow... it was a GREAT game, I normally don't like puzzle games that much, but this one... I'd buy it if it had other storys and even harder puzzles! Just loved it... Definitely one of the best games of the jam
