A cute game, too bad there’s no sound.
I really liked the J+I mechanic; it has the potential for a lot of puzzle ideas.
I’ll be looking forward to your future creations :)
The graphics is good and cute, there is no bug. But I am stuck after getting the J+I hint help!! I figured the wall behind was J so lit them up. Where is I ? Also underrated submission
Thanks for the feedback!
As for the hint on the walls: J and I do not refer to specific walls; they hint (sorry for the repetition) at a skill you can use in the overworld
Can you post a walkthrough video ? I am a bit stuck and would like to complete the game
You should now be able to find the complete walkthrough on the game page 👍
There might be some differences in the layout of the maze (if I remember correctly, the early demo had less doors), but the puzzles and their solutions are still the same.
Using the string to keep track of your path is a really neat idea, and the game does a great job capturing the feeling of being lost in a labyrinth, slowly collecting the pieces of the puzzle until everything clicks. I especially like the detail of only finding out some of the controls through using the torch, creating a sense of natural progression. Good job on this!
Thanks for taking the time to try our game and for the precious feedback.
While discussing what could have made an interesting game for the jam, we had the feeling that our idea could have either worked or failed miserably 😅
It is nice to know that someone saw some potential in it!
