The premise and style of the game were really appealing to me! I really like what you've done here, for some reason it really sparked my imagination. Nice job!

I like it! Very interesting plot. Puzzles are easy, I want a bit more difficult and more content in general. :) Nice atmospheric point-and-click.

Thanks for playing! I'm also not happy with the amount of content, but with most drawings and animations being unique to only one room, +programming tasks (big factor), +I'm not really experienced with pixel art, corners had to be cut. And harder puzzles would make things more interesting, but for a jam game that usually means I'd end up drawing scenes that only the most puzzle-loving players would see, not a good return on effort for a solo dev, so I went with more of a walker. Still, admittedly there are places where I could have done a better job despite the limitations.

Incredible animations and art. Even just the mirror and all at the beginning was fantastic and enough to make me playthrough the rest of the content. Got some SIERRA or like Space Quest vibes from the animations and brought back a lot of memories.  Loved seeing this kind of game in the jam.

It took me a while to figure out that there is no fire or air realm yet. Aside from that, the game is very well put together, great work! :)

Gorgeous art, impressive animations. I'm impressed by how much art and how many mechanics you managed to get done for the jam, even if you weren't able to finish all of it.

Good idea. Haven't seen anything similar yet on this Jam. Completed two puzzles and was struggling about how to launch Fire and Air levels 😂 So I went to walkthrough and sadly they weren't implemented.  Impressing that this game was made only using HTML. For me it looks that you have game designer talent.

Note, the puzzles are easy but I am aware some just wish to see the game without effort, for this I provided a walkthrough that you can read here: https://pastebin.com/dDS5WHf2
