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!
Thanks 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!
That's a great idea! I could have that inner monologue going for clues for sure. Thanks!
Cool game!
Thanks Clive dev!
Hey hey, it's a very cute game. Keep it up <3
Thanks redracca!
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.
Thanks Deklaration! Good to know about the first puzzle. Do you think maybe if the cans for one word were in one cabinet and the second in the other it would translate a bit better?
For sure! Or maybe a hint that it’s an anagram. I thought it was roman numerals for a while!
Oh got it! Yeah that makes sense.
Very awesome and we'll put together a game even if it was a bit confusing at times
Thanks SirInfinity! Anything in particular you felt was confusing?
nice 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!
Thanks ALittleRandomDude23! Yeah I agree, I should probably put some signifier that tells you when the code is incorrect. And for the space do you think making the space more obvious on the sticky note clue might help?
I'm sure you're playing through a lot of games, but I just added a clue for the first puzzle on the game page. Feel free to take a look if you want.
Cool game
Thanks ZeWaffelMan!
Nice game, but I wasn't able to brake a code :(
Oh no! Sorry to hear that! Is there anything you might suggest to help better allude to how to solve the codes? Anything you wish you had to lead you in the right direction?

Puzzles are actually creative, art is dope and fits the theme. Good job!
Thanks Kkhav!
Great point and click. Nice sound design too.
Only wish it was a little longer. Great stuff!
Thanks Taijitu Games!
Game is pretty cool liked the idea of the game something puzzel type game, but sometimes i get confused where to click and when to click..........
But in another way game is cool:)
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.......................................................... :(
Oh no it's all good man! I really appreciate the feedback.
really like the whack your boss style! nice job!
Thanks Cedric! Just looked up Whack Your Boss, I’ll have to check that out! :)
It's a fun short puzzle game, well done!

Absolutely! Planning on playing through a bunch tonight! Looking forward to it.
The puzzles were fun but not too hard very fun game.
fun, but short.
Thanks! Yeah, I had aspirations to make it longer, but needed to reign it in so I could finish it on time. Glad to hear it was fun!
