Amazing puzzler! When I started I was skeptical that I would need to use the stamps, but they really are handy. Exploring and marking my way was very fun. I especially liked the d-pad puzzles. Beautiful art and music. Nicely done!

was kind of confused in a lot of parts, but the dialogue was funny, i managed to win in the end and i didn't even know what i was doing XD

Absolutely beautiful in it's simplicity. I'm so lost in it but I don't care, the sound design is perfect. I'll definitely be coming back to this to try and finish it out.

We are pleased to read this, because it was important for us to keep it simple but still create the right atmosphere. Thank you for playing and hopefully you will find time to complete it.

I've gotten stuck after the 3rd stamp(arrow one)

Hopefully I can find them all at some point. It's interesting and i love the style

Thanks for playing! We hope you find the other stamps too.

I really wasn't expecting what sounds like the music I work to playing, and it was pretty nice to listen to as I was lost for like 2 hours stubbornly trying to find all the stamps. I could see this doing pretty well on other platforms too

Thank you! I made the music myself, maybe you'll like my OST of 'Tainted Treasure' as well? Should be on all streaming platforms.

We hope you found all the stamps ;)

Really atmospheric, great puzzles and beautiful graphics. I really liked playing around the ghosts and traps. The stamp mechanic is also very unique! Excellent work!

Very fun and fleshed out puzzle game! Enjoyed playing it to the end, the art direction is both great and consistent, didn't notice any bugs on my play through. The game gives you all the info you need in game to problem solve all the solution, and didn't feel like i needed external assistance at any point while playing.

Thanks a lot for playing and all the kind feedback! We are glad you enjoyed it.

The gameplay is simple yet effective, I liked the head mapping element, I love getting lost! Really good, I’ll come back later to finish it I found just 3 stamp!

The only bummer is to press esc to open one of the most usefull element.

Thank you so much for playing! Nice that you got this “lost feeling”. We hope you enjoy the rest of the game and find all the remaining stamps.

I loved the atmosphere and music! Once I got to the well area, I wasn't sure what to do or where to go. I found the second stamp, but didn't find much to interact with using X and O. Not entirely sure what to do about the ghosts. Still, I love the feel and all the polish you put into the map with only two colors!

Developer

Thank you for playing and your kind words!

Hopefully these hints will help: Bo is a game about taking notes and finding the correct path. Maybe there's nothing you can do about the ghosts except avoid them.

Great game, exploring is really fun and I love the artstyle, it's super atmospheric
it feels a bit like minit because of being 1 bit
the audio is great as well
well done!

Thank you so much for playing our game! We are happy to read that you had fun with the exploration part.

Btw, we also used Godot ;)
