Love the art, music, and camera work. I think it would've made more sense to click an object in the scene (squirrel, acorn, etc.) and B, X, or CV rather than clicking on right-ctrl. 

Developer

Thank you, we will think about it.

I loved the art style!

Thank you, I will convey your words to the artist)

Wow, this music is both fitting and endearing! I love the atmosphere of this game, and very impressive considering only 48 hours of development - well done :]

Developer(+1)

Thank you, our composer is 16 years old and she is very touching about such reviews about her work. Today we had a meeting and discussed the improvements to the game. Soon you will find 2 additional levels and new music.

Developer

There are two easter eggs in the game, nobody seems to have found them yet)

An interesting game. Some fun concepts to play with. I wish the other characters had their names on their design or around them.

Developer

Thanks, just click on the characters and they will say their names, as in the real world;)

Wow the art and music in this game!!! it's beautiful! fantastic work! :D

Developer

Thank you, we are very grateful!

Beautiful art, and a clever idea. Working out the game play was a little tricky. But well done, it's such an unusual concept!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, we try to find the unusual in ordinary things.

Love the art ! 

Developer

I told the artist your words :3

Submitted(+1)

The game itself didn't really explain what was going on all that well, so anyone who skipped the game page on itch.io would have had a hard time.

It's an interesting idea, I just want to see more of it!

Developer

Thank you, we will try to take into account your remark. And we plan to release an update with improvements and additional levels.

Love the idea and the adorable art.

Would be great if there was a way to restart the current level immediately when you mess up.

Developer(+1)

Thank you, we will try to take this into account.

I think my only issue with this is there simply isnt enough of it.  I think thats one of the difficulties with heavy story games for jams, is trying to add enough story.  All in all though I can see how this could evolve into a complete story with a nice game twist.  And I love the work you put into the characters, art, and music.  Good job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for such a full feedback. Yes, indeed, we ourselves would like to convey a little more. We had a lot of ideas and the first day actually went completely to them. We have implemented only part of our plans, but we plan to release a more complete version.

I lose the music and sounds!

Is there just one level?

Developer

Hi, on jam we managed to make only one level. Initially we wanted to do 3 levels. We plan to finalize the game soon.

If the keyboard keys are really sexy, are they hotkeys?

Developer (2 edits)
