Really adorable art, AND unique take in the theme, the swap of style inside the NPC's mindspace really shakes things up!

What a lovely little game! I loved the lessons in each story and how they were an allegory or actually depicting real life. Even if it might have been quite simple, I am impressed by how much you were able to add and also make actually interesting puzzle designs.

ooooh i love this, it's like psychonauts as a cosy game very funny writing and very cute artstyle.

Overall, as a game, this is a wonderful experience. You can really see the heart and passion in its DNA. But, with peace and love, I'm having a hard time seeing how this game relates to the theme. The scale only changed during cutscenes. So it really just felt like a change of scenery and had zero bearing on the decisions I was making.

An absolute delight. The presentation and writing are wonderful -- I had a smile on my face the entire time. The theme interpretation is pretty unique as well. Easily one of my favorites this jam, congratulations on an excellent entry!

I really enjoyed this game! Everything was super cute, the variation was good going between the 3d world and the 2d spaces, and I loved the dialogue. It was pretty great seeing the choices from the robot reused, especially in the WIP game. I feel like I was a bad influence for the fish though😂

I've seen a lot of games where the main character shrinks and grows, but this is by far the best implementation I've seen. Extremely cute and I found myself laughing out loud at the character subplots, especially the bird one :D

This game is so cute! Its impressive how much content you were able to fit in within the time limit. I love the art style, reminds me of Paper Mario and the Pico-8 sections remind me of Celeste pico-8 version :)

ADORE THIS!!!!!!! Actually laughed out loud at the robot's story & the callbacks to it.. So adorable and so many funny ideas here!!

Nice double game ! The 3D "Paper Mario style" part and the "Top Down Pixel" part are both neat. The "fanfic of the robot" part is really fun. Puzzles are nice. Good job. :-D

Really impressive to have basically made two games in one jam! Both the 2D and 3D sections were so full of charm. I love this little world. And I love the people inside making bad art out of pure love. Very relatable haha Absolutely jump scared by the The Room reference lol There were a handful of typos here and there and the 3D platforming took a second to get used to but neither detracted from an otherwise fantastic experience!

Great game, super cute! Loved the puzzles and the different mind interactions. Love the underwater horse :)

This game is AMAZING! It was like a mix of Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. It was fun, funny, and extremely well made, and in only 4 DAYS!

The only thing that could have made it better is sounds when the characters talked, but that's just a preference. You guys did an awesome job.

This a nice story driven game with little mini games and just a nice overall walking around and getting to know everybody although, I am not sure if jumping into people's mind, even with consent, is a good idea...it can be scary in there. :D

Awesome! I absolutely LOVED the fanific, it was hilarious. Great concept, great execution, great job!

Really nice art style! interesting gameplay, was not expecting it to switch into 2D but a fun surprise. I ended up getting stuck behind the map unfortunately, but I found the snow man!

Nice paper Mario pixel style game! The pixel levels were a little buggy, got stuck in the void.

Overall nice visuals decent experience!
