It was a bit confusing at first, since there are a lot of different buttons and items on screen, but when you figure it out it becomes a very challenging puzzle game!

The last two levels were really difficult! But the curve was just enough to keep you both interested and not frustrated.

Visually, the style is good, but can be a bit too much for the eye and the platforms could use a shodow or borders to detach themselves from the bookshelves.

Still, great job, loved the concept! =)

Nice game! I'm slightly confused how to beat this game. It's pretty hard to understand! I like the graphics and music! It's pretty cool though. It's difficult to understand and I'd really like to understand it. I enjoyed it! If you have time could you rate my game?

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! Some of the levels can be tricky.

This is a quite different take on level building than some of the other games in the jam. The repeated action loop makes the puzzles interesting and at times, rather difficult!

Developer

Thanks for checking it out!

The puzzles in this are pretty well made, I’ve felt stumped for a while on some of them. I noticed areas with no bookshelf might be hints at what you need to do, and it’s helped me a couple of times. I don’t actually know if that’s intentional or not, but this was a fun and challenging game! Great work \o/

Developer

Thank you! I would love to say they were good hints to help the players but unfortunately not. Some just aligned well with the puzzles.

This is a nice idea and well executed. Good work.

Developer

Thank you!

Played it from the game page instead of the random submission page and it worked flawlessly! Nice game. I very much enjoy puzzle games and while the premise is technically simple, the puzzles themselves are of an enjoyable difficulty. Cute graphics and great sounds. Very fun and satisfying :) Would love to play more of it!

Some kind of bug with me with Godot web apps: Error
The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:
Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)

Something missing

Developer

Oh no! I've had a few people report this, I suspect because the web player relies on an experimental feature it doesn't always work. Someone mentioned when they used the randomiser to get to the game it didn't work but directly going to the page did.

Is it still failing to load for you? https://skeffles.itch.io/wizard-retreat

Very satisfying to play, well done!

Thank you very much!

this is one of those games i could spend a lot of time on

Developer

Thanks AIA. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

This was harder than I thought it would be, and in a good way (maybe because I'm a sucker for a good puzzle). Interesting mechanics. Congrats :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I finished it! That last puzzle had me stumped but victory was mine...eventually! It was a very fun little puzzle game. I think you did a great job in the sense that the mechanics were really easy to grasp but robust enough to really have to think to solve some of the puzzles. The visuals were very clean and readable(i.e I knew what was going on. always a plus in my book). I don't have a ton of feedback really, perhaps its a bit short and I would love more levels but honestly that is not feedback that is me just having a good time and wanting more. Great work.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it and wanted more. Thank you!

-Enjoyment: This was super fun!! Satisfying watching it after the path is made!

-Creativity: Super creative!!

-Presentation: Love the retro clean pixel art!

Did you make this in your own engine as usual? Keep it up :D

Developer(+1)

Thanks Neat! I actually used Godot for this one because I wanted to have it available in the browser. Although that being said there might be a way for my engine to work on the web that I should check out.

Submitted

Oh awesome! I still haven't tried Godot, I can barely use Unity hehehe

Developer

Thank you!

Very satisfying to complete a level, definitely the last one was nice to figure out the path! I had a lot of fun playing this. Nice visual style as well, great job!

Developer

Thank you, I really appreciate it.

I really liked some of the puzzles here! Great work.

It would be greatly appreciated if you rated my game as well!  https://outercloudstudio.itch.io/fire-swap

Developer

Thank you. I shall add it to my list.

This puzzle game is pretty good. The puzzles had me thinking for a good bit and It was satisfying to see the book reach the wizard after creating a path. Good stuff!

Developer

I'm glad. Thanks for checking it out!

I came from the randomizer and the web player didn't work but it worked from another link: https://skeffles.itch.io/wizard-retreat

Developer

That's a pain but might explain why it's not loading for others.

Thanks Seann
