Nice puzzle game you got there! I definitely was getting a sort of creepy feel when the aliens started showing up as you completed tasks. I liked how creative the animations were, and they looked really smooth as I was playing!

So my bed floated away... I love this! This is a short and sweet puzzle game, I had a lot of fun finding the codes, the first one was especially challenging, it might be better if you give the players a small hint. Overall this is very well made game, excellent work!

Schrodinger's MouseThanks so much! Yeah I'm curious if you have any suggestions on what hints might be helpful for that first code? Someone suggested mentioning that it's an anagram somehow, since at first they can appear to be roman numerals. Did you run into the same issue? Or is there something else you think might be helpful? I really appreciate the feedback! Thanks!
Yeah, I think you could have something pop up and say "Hmm.. maybe I should rearrange the cans" or something like that, but honestly you can also just leave it as it is, I think making the players try and figure the puzzle out by themselves could be rewarding, but do keep in mind that they might feel frustrated and end up quitting the game. Hope this helps!
Very cute game! I loved the main character, and the style of the game. Had some issues with the first code as well. I thought the placement of the cans had something to do with the puzzle, and got stuck for a while.
I just love games like these. "Your bed is floating away" is also such a good quote.

Little Ninjanice game! i didnt really understand how the codes work, due to me not knowing if there should be a space and even after trying with and witout space it didnt worked. it wouldve been nice too if there was a sound signalizing that the word was wrong or if you added like a tip after you got it too many times wrong, but it was pretty fun playing it!

Dream Jump - Where is the Dog?Thanks Unknown Gamez! I was thinking about simplifying the controls in the future to just clicking, rather than “E” and “F”/click. And I hear you on the not knowing when you can click. Do you think simplifying the controls would be enough of a help or does it need an indicator above the player to tell you when you can click? If I added an indicator, do you think that would take away from the experience of discovery at all? I would just want to make sure to not give away where things are too much. Or did you have more of an issue of the collider not working for you? Like you tried to click and it wouldn’t let you?
I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks again!
Oh, no no no, it was my mistake sorry bro :(
I don't give attention towards the controls, it was 'E' key to open the cabinets, sorry
And yes you are right, if you give indicator to the game for when to click, the game will not be interesting
sorry it was my mistake.......................................................... :(
Short game but very cool! Definitely an artstyle I don't see much. I liked it!
