This is a fun concept. It took me a minute to realize what was going on with the scaling of the painted player in different sizes. (Despite that being in the name of the game!) It's a beautiful animation of the player going into the paintings. I think the one thing that would make that all the better is if you're somehow seeing the 3D avatar, too, for the contrast. I only wish there was more to the game -- I hope there will be!
Concept was pretty good, and the theme was well implemented, but it was quite short so you couldn't really play around with the mechanics more.
Mouse sensitivity was also quite high, a sensitivity control would definitely be appreciated.
5 stars for the theme, brilliantly implemented, bravo, a really great game.
Really good job! I absolutely LOVE the concept of being able to move within and also across paintings! You also absolutely nailed the artstyle of those! I think this is an awesome proof of concept which could use as a foundation to build a unique gameplay experience! Really well done!
Amazing game! 😄
Really clever interpretation of the theme, and nice puzzles with perspective and movement between pictures!
Good job! 🙂
We really enjoyed the game, great job!
Really cool idae and execution! Enjoyed playing!
I really like the concept of this game! In my opinion, if developed even better, it could give inspiration for wonderful things. But I understand that jam time is never enough. I hope to see more games like this!
Really creative idea, I also thought the art worked really well and the paint brush effect on the main character was a very good idle animation. I got stuck pretty early on so there might be more stuff that I missed but from what I saw the gameplay was pretty simplistic with not too much to do and I am also not quite sure how the game was related to the theme, but that could also have been something that was explored later on.
Overall really creative with an emphasis on art, well done! :)
I loved this game. The painting style is stunning and the character anims were really well done. Really felt magical (the audio added to the magical atmosphere too). I did like the contrast between the room art and the painting as it gives off a "step into a painting" feeling. Clever theme interpretation too.
A very interesting concept. I loved how the paintings look. I wish the puzzle mechanics were explored in more different ways. That means I just want more of a game.😁 Great job!
Thanks for playing - I'm glad you enjoyed playing our game! :)
Awesome job!
Very high quality of the graphics and original. It´s fun and makes you want to keep playing.
To continue improving it, the style of the paintings could be aligned a little with the rooms.
Thanks, glad you like our game!
Yeah, if we had had more time, we would have spent even more time polishing the game - that will have to wait, until the voting has ended.
A very creative game!
Decrypting through drawing and resizing has broadened the boundaries of the decryption game. This oil painting style of artwork is also very beautiful (please tell me how you drew it). It would be even better if the game process could be longer
Thanks for playing and reviewing our game! Jonas drew the paintings using Procreate.
If we had had more time, we would have implemented more levels...but we will probably do that after the Game Jam.
I really love the concept and wish there were more levels! It fits the theme perfectly in a fun way.
I guess if you had more time and resources, the 3D env can align better in style with the 2D paintings, and maybe the soundtracks can loop more seemlessly. Great job!
Thanks for playing our game. I'm glad you like it!
Yes, absolutely - if we'd had more time, we would certainly have added a few more levels to this prototype and put more time into polishing. We'll probably expand the game after the Game Jam; we still have some ideas that just didn't work out in terms of time.
