How does your game follow the theme?
The game's setting is in the distant future, aboard a spaceship! Set out to discover the scifi mystery and why all the humans have disappeared. This prototype contains the first level of the point-of-click mystery

Did you use any pre-made assets? If so, credit them here:
The game uses a soundtrack from freesound (license number on itch page), and I drew the pictured cat for a different game jam, before this jam started. All other art is produced by me, for this jam!

It was an easy game... Because I read the description to know what to click...

Music was bit too loud probably because my earphones were at 100%

And the art style was very good... 5/5 points for art...

Haha thanks for playing! I can tune the volume for music and sound effects more carefully after the jam πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

you should look and take Inspo from millo and the magpies great point and click game

Developer

oh wow 98% overwhelmingly positive on steam. Thanks for the pointer πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

When I see that cute kitty, I know it's gonna be good. That meow when I set it free. 😻

The downside is some clickables are too tiny to click.

It's a nice puzzle game, wish there were more levels. I understand the difficulty of designing levels with this type of puzzle game because it demands creativity, and it's no joke.

Also this game reminds me of the iconic GROW games by EYEZMAZE. Maybe you could take inspiration or follow his examples, it's worth checking out. There are videos of it on YT.

Overall, it's a good entry for the jam. Well done.

Thank you very much! And super happy you like the kitten :p I’ll definitely have to add more levels and make the hit area for clickables bigger — and I’ll check those games out! These are all very helpful suggestions πŸ™

Your concept is cool but it's a shame the current version doesn't really show that at all. It's basically just pressing random buttons to free the cat. But could be cool if you implement story details and make each screen more like a puzzle and less like you're clicking random stuff to free the cat.

Developer

Oh dope, thanks for the feedback! These are solid suggestions -- maybe something like the minigames in among us? And snippets of audio or visuals to advance the story. I'll brainstorm some more πŸ‘πŸ»

This has to be the cleanest game in the jam. Everything was so well done and gorgeous. Really well done!

Developer

Thank you so much! :D

wow—the sound design and graphics in this game are top-tier! The atmosphere you created is really immersive, and the SFX make everything feel super polished. 🎢✨

That said, I noticed the game’s doesn't go with sci-fi space theme, adding a few sci-fi elements could help reinforce the theme more! πŸš€πŸ” I like the game so much I WANT MORE LEVELSSS.

The quality of the art and sound is seriously impressive! For a prototype, this has a lot of potential—excited to see where you take it!

Heh, thanks so much! The sci-fi part was supposed to be the futuristic spaceship (in this room, it's the cryogenic chamber the cat is in) -- maybe I should've "upgraded" the computer terminal and other elements of the room to seem more futuristic. Or should've made some of the mechanics more crazy. In any case, thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing! Much appreciated :p

This is toooooooo cute. I loved it. Please make more. 

Developer

Thank youuu! :p

This was really nice! The art style is really crisp, and the music really complements that and the task at hand. It reminds me of Echochrome in tone. I hope you continue working on this, because I would love to see the other levels!

Developer

Woooo, thanks for the kind words! I will definitely have to make more levels, and echochrome looks gorgeous, so I'm very flattered!

This is gorgeous to look at! Cats are automatically a huge W.

Developer

Thank you, and yes, cats rule the world!

If this had more levels I think it would be first place the music, sound effects are so good, felt really rewarding after finisihing the puzzle. Recomend to fullscreen because i couldnt really see the . . .

Developer

Thank you so much! And ah I hadn't realized the text would be too big -- I'll have to fix that haha.

The art style is astonishing, I really loved the drawings.
If I could give a recommendation, I would suggest making it easier to press the different buttons, as they are so small that sometimes I struggle to click on the exact spot.
Apart from that, it's a great game. Keep it up with the upcoming chapters ^^

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! And good point, I'll have to make the hitarea for those buttons much larger. The honest feedback is much appreciated πŸ™πŸ»

The game looks amazing, and the sound effects add a lot.

Developer

Thank you! :p

Love this concept alot! The art is perfect, and the music definitely lets the vibes. The puzzle wasn't too easy to solve, but definitely solvable.  This game is really polished for a week's work and it's a good start! Can't wait for you to add more levels so that I can also learn about the story :) 

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm really happy that you liked it, and I'm working on new levels as we speak :p

I loved the music and art and really everything about this game! 😺 (the cat is so cute😸)

Developer

Thank you so much! :D

Love the artwork! I figured out the path up until the last one, the air outlet (saw it on the screenshot to solve it). Maybe some hints on the progress might help? Anyway, it's very beautiful!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing all the way until the end!

And that's a good point, I will add some hints for what to do next -- I might make a "hint" button available on the top right after 10 seconds or so? or maybe wiggle the next item if you turn on "guided" mode? I'll definitely add some guidance +1

It was such a cute game

Developer

Thank you! :D
