The idea is really cool! I had to read the description to understand whats happening, but once I did the idea is very charming! I really like it, good work!

Submitted

This was really charming (I especially liked the inabililty to choose "No, please teach me how to fix the engine") and the idea and length was quite welcome amidst so many games to play. That being said, I really liked the new lens for familiar rhymes too, so a few more would've been great too! The odd bug (cards sticking to each other if your click overlapped, couldn't take cards out after submitting), but with the restart button it wasn't game-breaking at least.

Submitted

This was such a nice game! I had a bit of trouble one time when I placed a card, realized it was incorrect but couldn't take it back, which got me a bit stuck lol but overall it's a lovely experience and the old radio aesthetic really added a lot to it! Great job :)

Developer

yeah i couldn't figure out that part! i added a restart button if that helps! (click r)

it does restart to the first poem but by that time you should know the sequence so it'll be easier :)

Submitted

This was nice! Had some moments of confusion, for example I thought "down" was supposed to go with the "Gently down the stream" line, and the controls were a bit finicky, but in the end I got it! The vibes were nice, slightly ominous, pretty decent game :D

Submitted

Great game! I really enjoyed this and think it is very creative, it was a  bit buggy with the cards and I don't know if it was on purpose but some were auto completing once i put one in, good game overall.

Developer

the auto completion is a bug (the animation adds the card and removes it without detecting it smh)

Submitted

very fun! make this a full game lol

Developer

aight bet 100%

maybe, maybe not. will try if time (and exams) permit.

although i will keep this idea on the bucket list so hopefully i live long enough to get this out!

Submitted

I liked the art style in this game and the rhymes.

Submitted

Fun idea, was the music suposed to be distorted or get better if you did something wrong or correct?

Developer(+1)

That was an idea, but alas i didnt have the time (had school for the last 2 days lmao)
also i wanted to add a rendition/remix of each song, but was only able to do row your boat.

Submitted

would indeed have been cool!

Developer

now to convince mark brown to make the jam 7 days long mwahaha

Submitted

Good job!

Submitted

really unique idea, and aesthetic, the game had some little bugs and it was quite hard but it was a fun experience

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Love the shader and the UI/Art. Very immersive, ran into some bugs so I couldn't complete but felt great to play.

Developer

Oh! might i know what bugs? because usually the bugs are just my poor communication on what the game is about and how to play it. i can edit the description to explain better!

Submitted

Interesting game, could see it being a fun game to teach kids. Lots of very cool effects though.

Developer

Thanks a lot! and yeah i guess it could be used to teach children words. maybe i am onto something here 

Submitted

Fun little puzzle, simple word play, good for reading comprehension for younger players perhaps? Like others mentioned, a bit loose on the theme, but a cute little experience :3

Developer(+1)

Thanks! now all i have to do is package this game into a subscription service and charge schools thousands of dollars a year to use this! /j

Submitted

Simple game, fun though!  It felt a *bit* disconnected from the theme, in my opinion, but overall neat. Loved the CRT visual effect :D

Developer

Haha yeah all the ideas i came up with were waaay out of my skillset so i decided to go with this

Submitted

I couldn't remove the cards when i placed them, so i restarted. It was a nice idea, could have been longer though. Good game!

Submitted

Ran into some small issues but cute little game !

Developer

ty! yeah i didnt have time to fix bugs cuz i wasted time trying to add stuf that didnt even make it to this version lmao
next year ima do better

Submitted

As other people said a couple of bugs, really loved the intro and the humor of the game. Tbh, really wished that the gameplay screen had the same art as the intro. Cute little puzzle game. Good entry!

Submitted

A few bugs here and there, but that didn't take away from the unique style and interesting take on the concept! Well done!!

Developer

Thank you! looks like i suffer from scale issue huh

Submitted

a little buggy but more than made up for by being overwhelmingly strange (in a good way) and original. great job!

Developer

Thanks! And yeah i tried fixing them but it just led to more bugs lol.
