Very engaging puzzle game! Really challenges you to think about different perspectives. Great entry!

Corpse CollectorThis is a great puzzle game! I love the idea of looking at a level in different angles to get a better view of things that are hidden, as well as the aspect of clicking things to trigger events in the world. The chest searching felt similar to a Where's Waldo type of game, really fun with a lot of great details! Would love to see more levels, or more chests that require other events to be activated so you interact more with the island. Awesome job!

Growth Spurt DungeoneerCool concept! The little animations are very fun and the puzzles can be surprisingly challenging. Neat way to take the exploration towards hunting in a given scene. Similar to my game there is a clipping issue on the pirate island where you clip through the pirate ship that goes around the island but it's a very minor issue and does not take anything away from the game. Probably wouldn't have even noticed if not for the fact that the puzzle took me a lot longer than the rest.

Cozy Island DriveI really enjoyed that! I did make the mistake of trying to play it on my Intel Macbook, and let's just say I have been to less enjoyable slide shows before. That being said I could play the first 2 levels and they were great. However, because of my computer's lack of performance, I did notice it looks like the amount the map rotates is based on how far the mouse moves between frames this meant in my case where I had long times between frames the map would whip around unexpectedly, I blame apple for that one though. You made a solid game.

A.R.C.H - Kenney Jam 2023Short, but very sweet game ! Looks very polished.
Wished I could have played a few more levels, but for 48h, that's already a really decent amount of content.
Good job :)

Star DestroyerReally cute! I liked the interactions, and the puzzle element to each island! The music got a bit repetitive though, and I think that you could hide the help text after the first level (or even better, give the player the option to close it). Also, I noticed that click-dragging would trigger the "click" action too, which felt a bit awkward as it meant that sometimes I clicked on the solution accidentally and didn't understand what I'd done to activate it! I liked it though, well done!

The Pit of DeathSimple concept but really lovely execution. I liked how polished everything was and the whole diorama aesthetic was great.
The chest in the ship on the 3rd level blended in a little too well, I was stumped for a bit because I thought the moving pirate ship had something to do with a solution. Great game!

It's Lonely Out in SpaceThank you for playing and leaving your feedback! The original idea was to involve the big ship in one of the solutions, but it took too long to think of something at the time, so I had to scrap the idea and just throw a chest somewhere else. In the future, I will create something that has the big ship as a solution. Maybe lowering an anchor and then pulling up a chest, but only at 1 specific spot out of 3 possible ones. Or firing a cannon at the correct spot, that then destroys something and reveals a chest! Loads of cool ideas, I didn't have time to implement during the jam.
Really nice work ! I think that's one of my favorite game so far. Really simple gameplay but really well executed. The little animations are great and the concept is pretty original for this theme.
The onlyfeeback I could give is that I think the music is a bit annoying after 2 or 3 levels because of its repetitiveness. Great job, cheers !

Super Sugar SailorCute concept. I think some other people have already said this, but the music can feel repetitive after just a few minutes. Otherwise this was fun, I felt the increase in difficulty from level to level was perfect!
