heartfelt & engaging, really scratched that zachtronics itch!

Developer

We're not as open-ended as zachtronics puzzles but it's definitely one of my inspirations so I'll take the compliment, thanks a lot! :)

Really great game! Amazing art, very fun and interestind. would make it so you dont have to press f to finish but other then that really well done!!

Developer(+1)

You can also press the "physical" button with your mouse, but I'm guessing you'd like the puzzle to close automatically when done?

We opted not to for the jam because of the optional objectives but it might be an interesting option for a future release, thanks for your feedback :)

Great game ! Mechanic is well thought and the story is really touching, didn't notic the bits of environmental storytelling at first, but it was a very nice touch ! Too bad for the sounds, I definitely would give this another playthrough if you ever add them

Very Cool puzzle game !
It's sad that there was no sound at all :/ The ambiant sound had great potentiel (as the time pass we could have heard the kid laughing in the back and thing like that
Rip Grow-Bot it couldn't support rtx99990 so he got forgotten...

Oh, Charlie. :( Very neat game, a great atmosphere and nice visuals. The puzzles were challenging but well-balanced. Well done!

Submitted(+2)

I LOVE the visuals, especially how the background changes as Charlie grows up! This is really well made and the puzzles are super fun!

Submitted(+2)

Cool puzzles & great visuals! Liked the small story that you could follow with the updates and the background changes! :D

Awesome visuals, and take on the theme. Keep up the good work! It would be awesome if there where WebGL version of it. 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

We're using Unity's HD render pipeline for volumetric fog and post processing so I think we can't build for WebGL unfortunately...It would be easier to get ratings though ^^ Thanks for your feedback!

The graphic is amazing! Didn't except there is a story. Love it!

Submitted(+1)

It's really well made. I like the simple story and the visuals are really nice. The puzzles were hard but not frustrating.

Love a puzzle game. The aesthetic and vibe was so gorgeous. I had a good time playing the first few levels. It was kinda tough for me. Nice job!

Submitted(+1)

My computer was struggling, very nice looking game though

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! Could you please tell us what your graphics card (if any) and screen resolution are?
If it's a resolution related forcing the resolution down could help, I can create a guide in the description.

I just toughed through it, I don't have much of a setup so it's expected, some old 1080ti?

Developer

That's really weird because I'm running at 80fps with a 3060, which should be in the same general performance range, and CPU shouldn't be a problem.

If you have any other clue I'd be happy to try and fix it but for now I'm a bit...puzzled (pun intended).

Very fun and polished game. Cool puzzle mechanics and cute story !
