This game was really fun and made me have to think a bit. I do like how you have a restart button and that failing is not punished. It made the gameplay more relaxing.

You! A bit buggy especially between the items interacted and the movement of certain enemies at points. Although game breaking, the restart button is useful for the reset. Some good puzzles and decent effort.

Excellent take on life of a mimic as a puzzle. I ended up unable to solve the one with a warrior by the door on the top left and a mage in the bottom right due to insufficient IQ but it was quite enjoyable to get at least that far. Animations are satisfactory and music is awesome.

Great game! Even though it's for a jam, it's quite long. Half an hour - that's really good! I love the game mechanics and the riddles that aren't super easy, but also not extremely hard. I would only appreciate if I could see the complete row of items cause it's pretty annoying to need to test it yourself. Otherwise excellent!

I love this, from the idea to the execution, fantastic. Very tight little puzzles, some of which are real head-scratchers. I'd love for there to be either a save or a password system, as I got to around level 10 before having to get up—but also that isn't really something I*expect* for a jam game.

I'll definitely be coming back to finish this one. Well done.

I like pixel art and the general idea of the game, it's fun to play a mimic... but I find the puzzles quite difficult or rather not for my intellect... I lose patience quite easily, it's cool that the other players have given clues.

This is a great entry. I love the overall Halloween vibe. The puzzles are very well designed and fun to figure out. I made it around 10 levels in before I became stuck. I suggest adding a save system so players can pick up from where they left off.

Initially disliked the game, but then gave it another try and enjoyed it. Music fits well, the animations are cute and levels are short and sweet so that there's not much backtracking. I think there could be some extra visual feedback in the game. For example whether the adventurer is occupied and you can safely walk next to him or not. Also perhaps spikes should be considered safe after you lure an enemy into them and they got triggered already.

Also a minor thing but the back and forth twitch when moving the camera feels awkward. It doesn't show up on the early levels as they fit entirely on the screen but it's visible on later stages where there's scrolling.

This is very creative! The items were very clear and, after some experimentation, made a lot of sense. The puzzles were also a nice difficulty. I was surprised to see the levels eventually become larger than the screen, which is cool! A nice feature to add might be continuous walking while holding movement keys. Also, that girl at the end looks like Frieren!

I had a really fun time playing! Nice work!

Very nice game, got to around level 10, very enjoyable and nice level design.

Awesome. Made it to level 10 for now, but later I’ll definitely go back and finish it. One of the best games so far. Огонь!

Thank you! We tried our best. The game currently has 20 levels, and we plan to add more in the post-jam version. :) Главное не читить багами.

Developer

Nice to hear that. Thanks!

Nice concept, kinda remind that new Zelda game.

Developer

Thank you! :)

Submitted(+2)

Really cute concept, and fun gameplay! I really like everything, except the fact that its very easy to get lost not understanding the mechanics. Maybe a more in depth tutorial style level could explain each item better? I'm not sure. Either way, great work! 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Maybe we need overhaul some levels and add more levels about mechanics of each item - I'll think about that.
