Ended up softlocked at the very end with an impossible puzzle (according to a solver I used). Otherwise, fantastic game! Well paced and very polished. The QR code was awesome!

Developer

Thank you! We actually had a lot of issues with the final challenge. We tried placing the 8th tile in various spots, counting inversions, but it was all a massive head ache and we ended up (don't tell anyone) hardcoding the final puzzle in -- so in theory it should be solvable each time. I can definitely see a world where moving the tiles between cutscenes or doing something funky could cause an unintended inversion which is sad to hear. Or maybe the goal state you input was one swapped when it wasn't? Who knows! Thanks for playing tho, I'm glad to hear you liked the pacing and puzzles leading up to it!

really good

cool mechanics too!

Developer

Thank you!

Damn this is really good,

The main gameplay mechanic is really clever, and the puzzles are really clever too.

The pixel art and kind of humorous atmosphere of the game kind of reminded me of minit wich is a really good game.

Overall a really fun experience!

Glad you like it! We tried to form a really cohesive vibe for the game, so hopefully the vibes were well sent

I love the originality of the concept and the puzzles :)

Developer

Thank you!

This deserves top#1!

Entertaining, amuzing, hilarious! I wish I could see what's behind QR - link would not open for me...

Developer

Thank you! That's interesting to hear. We were originally planning on adding an accessibility option where you could scan the QR code in the pause menu, in case someone didn't have their phone or something. Unfortunately 48 hours is only 48 hours so it didn't make the cut. Hopefully you still managed to get through though!

Wow, what a treat! Really enjoyed playing this. I won't lie I got about 3 slides in and got stuck briefly then felt like an idiot when I solved it haha! Also loved the 'hidden' puzzle element within the game, great addition! 

You should be really proud of this game, you've done a great job! 

Developer(+1)

Ayee, I tried designing the puzzles so that it would slowly ramp up in difficulty. The third one was truly the first test of "can you think outside the box". Thanks for playing and thank you for the kind words!

Submitted(+2)

BEST GAME I'VE PLAYED SO FAR! I can't believe you don't have more ratings. The main mechanic is simple to grasp, but you've used it to make a really unique puzzle mechanic in a really unique way. Really hope you get to the top 100, Mark definitely needs to play this!!!

Developer(+1)

AAHHHH THANK YOU!! I really hope so too, we would probably like explode or something if he featured this hahA

Submitted(+2)

Woah that was a fun game! I really like the small detail (Spoiler ahead: the QR code that we needed to scan) It's a great concept, sort of like a scavenger hunt of sorts, The art and audio were great, fantastic job!

Developer

Thank you! I had that idea early into brainstorming and really wanted to try and fit it in somewhere, and this style of game really let us put in a lot of cool puzzles. Glad you enjoyed it!

Great, really comfy game. Puzzles were satisfying to complete and by the end I felt like a pro moving the tiles about at speed. My favorite game of the 'thon!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and the juice when you slide. Just wanted to let you know that it's a game jam though, not a hackathon. Maybe next time we can do a hackathon together though 🙂

Thanks! It makes me so glad to see people wanna keep playing through all the way to the end!

One of my favorite games I have played in this Jam. Have you played Carto? It's very similar idea

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I actually took a look at Carto when we were drafting up ideas. I never played it but I know the mechanic from it was kinda similar. Hopefully we did a good job being inspired and not accidently copying haha

Submitted(+2)

Wow very cool idea and clean execution! The art is great, music is great, really enjoyed the puzzles. Good job! Excellent game

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad to hear that!

Very nice experience playing your game! I finished it all the way and enjoyed it - very nice graphics style puzzler with a lot of charm! Really nice

Developer

Thank you!

I'm generally annoyed by 3x3 sliding puzzles but I loved this! That was a very clever mechanic (especially with the "ruins" puzzle) and just a very charming experience all around.

Developer(+1)

I recognize you from pixel dailies! Thanks for playing, we were worried about the difficulty of the ruins puzzle so I'm glad you solved it!

Submitted(+1)

Hey nice! Yeah I'm very active with Dailies.
I felt like it was quite obvious what it was looking for with the explorer's clue (and I even noticed the markings on the map for it), but I may not be the most average data point since I'm a fan of FEZ :P

Developer(+1)

Goat game! From our friends who played the game, half of them had no idea what to do and the other half seemed to get it almost right away, so it's pretty anxiety inducing to see whether they'll get it or just run around the river for 30 minutes.

Really clever game! Love the Minit inspired look.

Thank you!

This was really satisfying to reach the end, absolutely loved it! Fantastic job!

Thank you for making it! It's been my favourite game so far by quite a long way!

Great idea, really clever, at first it gave some Minit vibes :)
Very cool and relaxing.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! We definitely looked at Minit for some inspiration on how to do art. Glad you liked it!
