Nice music and nice looking game, it took me too much time to get the second door lol

Super good! We really went for similar approaches! I felt like I was playing a possible version of my game lmao. The art in yours is really great, I love it. The music feels good too. The puzzles were smart and fun to play, and the reward was worth it.

I don't know if the second door had some indications that I didn't see, but I had to look at the description. If there is no hint in game, that would be a good addition. This is something I also struggled with in my game, and people pointed it out! It's always important to have indications in puzzles.

Amazed by your game :D

Doggo was very cute, puzzles were nice and difficult. Great game!

Nice puzzle game! I grew up with a ton of "escape the room" type flash games and this game gave me the same vibe, so thank you for that =). 

The graphics are great, the music is cool, the sound design is really fitting and I enjoyed the little puzzles ^^. And the reward at the end was worth it =p!

Solid entry, congratulations =)

Solid little puzzle with a great payoff at the end!

I feed dumb, but I can't figure out what you're supposed to do in the second puzzle after collecting all the gems. There is an arrow at the bottom of the screen, but clicking it does nothing. Maybe it's a bug or can I get a hint?

There's a hint in the game description

That's what I call a happy ending! I like those kind of deductive puzzle games and these puzzles are really well designed. I never got stuck for too long, but it was also pretty challenging. And I am glad most of it couldn't be just bruteforced by clicking everywhere. Great job!

Fun little game! I like how you have to look outside of the game in order to be able to complete some of the puzzles! Also the payoff was great hahaha! My only issue was that I clicked the exit button on the top left (thinking maybe I needed to backtrack) and then had to start from the beginning because it took me to the title screen lol. Maybe a little pop up saying 'quit game?' or something would have been a helpful warning hahah. :') Beside that though, nice game and good job! :D

Developer

Thank you for playing my game!

That makes sense. Definitely needed to add some pop ups as warning.

Cool puzzle game with art style.Btw , i can do "the thing" after 3 puzzle .

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing my game.

Doing "the thing" is best part of the game.

Submitted(+1)

I liked the game, it's really cool the way you should solve the puzzle, but i cant pass over the second level ):

Developer

Thank you for playing my game.

That's unfortunate (you missed the ending) :(

The idea was to make you think outside the box. I wanted to point out that the hint will be in description. But I wasn't able to fully implement and give appropriate hints due to lack of time. I'm happy that you liked the game!

Now that i know it i'll try my best ^^

Nice game, I think it's fitting the theme. The only complain is that I still don't understand how I should get the color code for second door, without reading it in the description

Thank you!

Fun small puzzle game! I had no idea what I did on the last door to get it open but just spamming the screen worked :D The other 2 doors felt good difficulty wise, and there was a surprising amount to do in just a small screen.

Developer

Thank you for playing my game. 

I guess luck was on your side :)

Conceptualising and building a visual puzzle in a game jam is a daring move! Well done, and thanks for the hints in the game description ;) !

Do check out our puzzle game!

Thank you!

This is my first time creating pixel art and a puzzle game. Its cool to explore new areas of game development.

Man good job, really, i've really enjoy your game. but man the second door how, how can we know what's the combination of color without check you know :wink: and at the end good one i really like to do the little thing we can do (without spoiling).

This game was really cool and not too tricky to solve even for someone like me, who is usually shit at puzzle games. The vibe and music of the game was great, breaking into the doors reminded me of when I was in Bangladesh and used to do this for a living (robbing homes). it was a great refresher for my skills. I recommend you to play DARO there is something for everyone!

Developer

Thank you. Lol
