really interesting game with simple yet good looking visuals, was really fun to solve suck well thought out puzzles. the only suggestion i have is to make the star hitboxes a bit bigger since it can get a bit finnicky to get it just right, in every other aspect, its a pretty perfect game!
My favorite puzzles were the ones where I figured out what they were supposed to be, so at some point i'll need to replay this to fix the rest :P
I also hope in a later version the player can flip through the children's book they made. I think that would be good motivation to go back to previous levels.
This is, honestly, the best puzzle I've played during this game so far. Damn. A concept super simple but soooo good and soooo satisfying. Puzzle aren't straight forward but they're not too hard either. New concepts are introduced as you progress. Art is minimalist but absolutely amazing! Guys! Great Job! It was a very great experience! 😁
Really unique puzzle concept! And very well polished great work
Totally won me over right from the tutorial start screen, execution is super elegant. The emphasis on creating images through lines helps to push the theme into a 'connect the dots' reference, but it does really edge on feeling like actual 'connect the dots' and losing the theme something being reversed.
So minismalistic and super fun to play. Really enjoyed the game
Love the idea! I think it might be neat if you had a way to show the intended solution or hints if you're really struggling like I was ^^
You’ll never guess what system ended up on the cutting room floor on the second day… but thank you for enjoying our game!
The hint system was intended to use the same system as the main menu - pressing the hint button would reveal gray circles where dots should go. You still needed to figure out which dots went where, but not only would we have to implement it in every level (we have 19), experience showed me that it did not interact well with the tweens and other systems we used for juicing up the game. So we had to cut it and spend our time on more useful things like SFX and general stability. What are you gonna do - it’s a jam after all.
This game needs more ratings! It is awesome. The music and the design aswell as the theme just give off a great vibe! I am really happy this gam exists!
Although my solutions probably werent always the best. Had to think around the corner some times and even placed some dots offscreen haha It was a ton of fun!
I must say I'm pretty sad I didn't manage to find all intended solutions. a Good game nevertheless.
Ngl, one of the best I've seen so far! Hope you make the top 20!
Amazing game! Idea is quite unique and gameplay is very fun too. I loved the storytelling element. Presentation is pretty neat as well.
This is so clever and polished and good! One of the best for sure!
This is such a unique and amazing idea with flawless execution. I absolutely love this game.
This game is great! from the title screen alone i was hooked. I especially liked how the text gave you a general idea of what the final picture was meant to look like without giving away too much information on their own. There were several moments of "OH THAT'S WHAT THAT IS!" when i lined everything up, which could only have been done as effectively as they were in this format. Extremely creative, and great job overall!
Easy to understand and fun game. Love that you start the game by using the main mechanic. I think that the bow tie level was a little bit too difficult to appear so early in the game. Great work with the art and the music is really fitting. I like that new things were added by progressing. Good job!
Very clean presentation! It's impressive how polished it feels for a game jam game, and I enjoyed the puzzles. Nice job!
Super unique and very polished!
Very well polished game! I love seeing the different ways people play with the theme; I had assumed it meant the player swapping roles with the obstacles, but there's just so much else that can be done with it.
I really like this level design philosophy of "here's a few constraints, there is no one solution." I know there are lots of games that get designed like this, but man, there REALLY need to be more games that get designed like this. Great work!
Very clean art style and extremely polished and smooth-feeling gameplay. Amazing job!
