This game looked really cool!  Very very open for a jam game.  It's unfortunate you ran out of time, but projects like this are hard to do well under such a punishing time constraint.  I hope you expand on it, because even with kinda janky controls it was a fun world to explore!

Really loved the artstyle, the atmosphere and the humor! It's a bit buggy but the world you created has potential.

I absolutely love the level design! You've created such a distinct mood with so little geometry.  I honestly spent most of my time in Soloun wandering the streets. I really appreciated how things like the river and the warehouses are setup visually before you get to them. Seriously the level design is really cool.  Unfortunately the gameplay is a bit lacking and the connection to the theme is a bit tenuous. But, that being said, you can pet a dog. So all in all I hope to someday visit the streets of Soloun again!

The overall design of the city is pretty good and the characters certainly do have certain charm added to them. The classic riddle is pretty easy to finish, so something to spice it up a little bit would be really appreciated, but due to the time restraint it's pretty understandable.

The only major problem I had with the game is that my mouse cursor didn't lock in the playing window. Not sure if that's a fault of the game or my browser, but it's certainly something that really discouraged me from playing, so after finishing the riddle I didn't even bother with finding the dog.

Overall, not bad, I really dig the design of city and characters and with little more polish and maybe more stuff to do it would be an enjoyable fun little game.

The details of this thing are insane for what's essentially just a dressing up of a classic riddle.  Playing in browser, the camera's super hard to control because the mouse isn't locked to the window, and then I pretty much clipped through everything.   I also couldn't seem to find the flour, pig or chicken, but I still managed to win the game anyway and pet the dog.

The town's super insanely detailed though and good looking, so there's that.

I liked the visual and choice of colours and even if the puzzle is classic the town feels big. I like that you add some unnecessary details just for the immersion like the fact that you need to knock three time at a door even. This is felt that you ran out of time as there bugs and collision problems, it is very hard to control the camera and it lacks of sound but I still managed to complete my mission (but did not find a dog to pet at the end).

I hopeI never see a pig eating a chicken ^^
