I liked the style and the idea but I didn't really feel like I ever figured the solution out. A bit of polish and it's great! Good entry!

I really like the idea and the graphics are very neat! A little sound and maybe an undo-button that doesn't clear everything would have been cool, but that's just a small criticism.

Nice game!

This was pretty cool, and a nice interpretation of "connections". Some sound would have gone a long way, though. I didn't really understand how the connections led to the ending, maybe having the kid talk through their thought process would have worked better there? Also, if you decide to continue this past the jam, having a section where you have to walk through the house to collect the clues would be really neat. Overall, good job.

Thanks! Yes, we lacked a lot of things as this is our first game jam and our first time making games. Originally we wanted to do the story progression thing but we lack the time.

Walking through house is a great idea. We will keep it in mind

Neat little game. I was confused at first about the pins on the pets since I wasn't able to connect any string to them. Looks like I didn't need to.  The art style was pretty good.

Developer

Thanks! I'll let the artist know lol.

About the pins, we purposefully give them different color to highlight the interact-able ones. Maybe we need to explain it in the tutorials, sorry.

other than more levels solid game

hope you add more

Developer

Thank you! Sadly the time is up and we decided to use only one level. Definitely gonna do more than just one level next time.
