Pretty fun - the isometic style was super well done, and its the only game with that perspective I've seen so far, so you definitely get points for uniqueness! Of course the scope was fairly minimal (I liked the dialogue tho!), but thats totally understandable given you only had 24 hours - I'd be interested to see what kinda isometric games you might be able to make with more time :)

nice game cool art 
very simple concept and simple gameplay
would've really wished for a twist but with only 24 hrs it's understandable what you were able to make but the game is pretty bare bones
first level spent a few seconds at because  i wasn't able to see the yarn 
really cool music 
i hope you good tidings on your future game making voyages

got this error:

SharedBufferArray needs to be turned on from itch for Godot 4 web projects to work on itch.io

Nice visual presentation, music and main character. I was also pleased with the short duration. Usually walking in labyrinths is of little interest, but you managed to make it varied.

I like ginger cats and it was very nice to see one of them in your game 😻

Developer

thanks for your kind words, glad you enjoyed this limited-scope project. :)

I enjoyed the story at the start explaining the plot of the game, however I couldn't find and gave up looking for the yarn on level 2. I could only assume it would have been a fun maze game :)

Developer

thanks for your comment! and yeah, there was a glitch that i didn't catch soon enough, that makes it that level 2 will sometimes load without a ball of yarn. oops!
