Guys. You must have gone insane for the 2 week jam because holy shit. There is so much good content in here. The puzzles, for the most part, are all very well crafted. The only one I found myself disliking was the one to unlock the gravity swap since the boxes I was jumping on were off screen, but that might have been because I was doing an unintended strategy and it still felt really good to finally get it. On that note though, the way that the abilities work really encourage you to experiment and I love them, especially Kronii and Sana's.  I definitely feel like I did some rooms the unintended way since I'd end up with multiple uses left of some abilities in rooms lol.

I only have a few criticisms. Sometimes when I got a new ability it would forcibly kick me out of the memory when I feel like there was supposed to be dialogue. This also happens if you die while reading a memory and are in the dialogue box (this happened to me in one of the prison rooms). This made it so Bae's ability wasn't really explained to me, but I got it in the end. Fauna's bird movements are also a bit slippery and imprecise, which is fine, but some of the segments where you need to be a bird require precise movement and I found that a bit frustrating, particularly controlling ascent or descent.

Shiori also blends in sometimes with the dark backgrounds. I feel like a white outline and/or making the sprite a bit brighter overall would really help contrast her against the background, particularly in the memories.

I also ran into a glitch in the final puzzle room where the dialogue wouldn't play (see below screenshot). I got this by clearing the room while Kronii's time stop was active. Deactivating it caused it to move forward one line of dialogue. But I also triggered it while it was off so idk.

You don't need to do this but I think the cheat codes should be a bit more hidden and harder to accidentally input because once I accidentally disabled gravity swap and I had no idea how to turn it back on lol. And since the cursor was already on it I couldn't move it back and select time stop so I had to reset. Kind of unfortunate but I was mashing buttons a bit lmao.

A couple of small bugs I found were:

• if you stand next to an object you can pick up but it moves away from you, the pick up icon will still remain on Shiori.
• Attacking an enemy while its dying makes it restart the dying animation
• If you are in stopped time and stand on top of a box, you can pick it up and hold jump. This makes Shiori go into the pick up animation and then jump in mid air after the animation is done. This is honestly really cool and imo you shouldn't remove this. Its also how I solved the room where you get Sana's ability.

At the end of the day though, these are all kind of small compared to what you managed to achieve. Seriously great work here. I loved playing through this game. Amazing work.

Artstyle is GORGEOUS and I really like the animations you made for Yoricks :3 Took me a while to figure out controls but overall a great game!

I think I kinda bugged the game out and created an exploit? even though that too is buggy af xD

The Room where I unlocked the Time Stop Ability I somehow also got an gravity invert ability. and judging by the next few rooms that shouldnt be the case cause I literally could skip through the whole jump and run act by just inverting gravity and going to the other side through the ceiling. Now the buggy Part of that. I couldnt exactly "choose" which power to activate. sometimes it selected time stop, sometimes invert gravity and sometimes the selection even selected both abilities at once and couldnt "deselect" them. But also no matter what Ability is "selected", both Abilities will activate at the same Time no matter what. If you time stop, invert gravity also activates and vice versa. That made one of the later Rooms impossible since i needed to stop time to get a box into a hole with a button but since i also inverted gravity (which i COULDNT reinvert) the box was basically at the ceiling with no way to get it down. And that room was basically a soft lock because of this bug. Will see if I come back to it to retry it again from the very beginning without the bug xD

Anyways, apart from that, I really like how each Memory unlocks a new section of the map and the paper flipping sound is kinda satisfying to hear xD Mechanic wise also really fun!

Love the mix of metroidvania and puzzles genre, pretty ambitious for a game jam game! Quite a few minor frustrations on UI navigation, and collision seems abit wonky at times as well.
Other than that, game itself is really fun! I can see myself coming back to this again when the creases are a little more ironed out. Thanks!

I liked the pixel art and the overall ambience. Good job!

I didn't realise I could attack the enemies and was just jumping around them for a while. In my mind interact =/= attack.

I got stuck because the time ability kept triggering when I jumped or tried interacting for the first time in each room. Since the ability is supposed to be activated at a specific time to solve puzzles, I just couldn't progress.

I'm guessing it's a bug or I'm bad at interacting with the UI? It felt like the ability got selected by default when entering a room. Couldn't find a way to deselect it no matter what keys I pressed.

The puzzles were pretty fun to solve, at least up to the part of the game I could play.
