It took some getting used to but once I got going this was a really unique puzzle game. I think I managed to soft-lock myself off the top of the screen in room 4, though. Your instructions on the page helped a lot as I did not understand what the lights on the doors were supposed to represent until I went back and read that. It was quite satisfying completing the challenge of getting that door open once I had all the pieces, however! Great job with this game.

Thank you for ur feedback! When we first thought about the game levels, we actually designed two tutorial levels to guide players to understand the gameplay. However, there is not enough time before the deadline. We can only write a lot of text descriptions on the webpage. I am glad that these descriptions have helped you. Unclear game introduction is our current problem. Thank you !

Nice art! But i can't solve the first puzzle. A shame!

It would be great if you added a tutorial. I really like  the art and the concept. Nice work!

Thank you for your feedback. We are also aware of this problem. This game does not introduce the core gameplay and concept of the game in detail. We will always update this game and continue to improve it. and Thank you for your affirmation!

Looks, sounds and feels amazing- but, like a few others, I think I really needed a tutorial; and I’d love to see a video walkthrough because I didn’t make it passed the third door.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. This is in our plan. We will always update this game. And thank you for playing this game!

otherwise, I really like the art and cotton atmosphere

This game does not introduce the concept and gameplay of the game clearly. This is our current problem. Thank you for your feedback!!

Very nice art, but gameplay wise I get stuck on the very first room. I change the orb back and forth from blue to yellow not knowing what it does exactly. Not having a clear goal/clear understanding of the puzzle might be the underlying problem. Maybe update the itch page and add bit more informations (story, goal of the game, what's the main mechanic)?

Developer

Thank you for your very detailed feedback. We have updated how to play on the webpage. The how to play in the main menu of the game may not clearly express the idea of the game. wish you play it again!

I really loved the graphics and feel of the game! But I noticed that I am not smart enough to figure out the puzzle! But really well done!

I'm a big fan of the art direction for this game, its adorable. It would have been nice to have some music to accompany the ambient sound in the background. Otherwise it was an overall satisfying experience! c:

Thank you for your feedback. Your words gave us the greatest encouragement cuz we are really not good at drawing. try a little bit while making this game. Thank you for your suggestions! We think so too, but there is really no time before the deadline haha.

For web play I wish the screen size had been smaller, was hard scrolling around seeing everything.  Liked the puzzling solving aspect of the game.

Developer
