I hope this doesn't come up weird, but this game shook me up. I've been too preoccupied with how to make games that I forgot how to even have fun. I played this game and found that it is the opposite of the idea of "games" I had in mind. I had a blast, and for that, I thank you guys.
Thank you for writing this comment. It really means a lot. Doing the game would have been worth it for this alone.
This is probably the best game of the jam! Gorgeous art and style, great music and sound, but most importantly – a very entertaining and well-executed idea. I was genuinely sad when the levels ended; I would have played this much longer!
Thank you!
UPD: I forgot to write - I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU DRAWN A WHOLE INTRODUCTORY COMIC, IT'S SO COOL!!!
We are humbled!! Thank you so so much for your words and for having fun with the game. Galán knocked it out of the park with the art and the comic!
Really cool physics game with some pretty great art too. I liked that the puzzles could be solve in a lot of different ways, and you don't even need to use every tool at your disposal. I think only used all the letters in two of the levels. In the last level I noticed that I could use the A to clip through the walls, but because of the way the game is presented, it didn't feel like cheating or unintentional.
Thank you for enjoying it and playing until the end!!
I can't praise this enough! Really well made, reminded me of the incredible machine! Great work!
Thank you so much, it means a lot!
Rich art, game mechanics, and physics effects, but the levels are a bit difficult.
The curse of tons of the game jam games 😅 Thanks for the feedback and for playing!!
Start with comics, interesting mechanics, good joooob! I like this)
We appreciate it! Thanks for playing :D
I liked the concept of trial and error with the letters and it felt satisfying once you found the solution. Good job!
Thank you so much!!
Wowzers! Super fun! I love the art on the letters. I felt like a genius once I figured out how to use the letters. I was disappointed when it was over so soon as I felt like I was just starting to learn how to use the letters. XD
Great entry!
Many many thanks! <3
Great idea of manipulating letters and a unique art style! For me, it was unclear what ability has letters and where will go the ball. And I think I used some letters not for what they planned to be=) Nice work!
We were conflicted between explaining the letters and letting people experimentate them. In the end we didn't have time to explain them so the choice was made for us I guess! Letters can be whatever you want, so out of the box uses are perfectly aceptable :D Thanks for playing!
Fun mechanics, art is excellent, I love the intro and the presentation! It might have benefited from having a line that shows where the ball is going to go, like in pool games - or remove the power build up mechanic entirely, and/or be able to set a consistent power for the eye in the beginning! The game relies on lining up letters perfectly to solve the puzzle, kinda like building your own Rube Goldberg machine.
We wanted to incentivize trial and error rather than lining the perfect shot from the beginning, but I could see your idea turning into a different and very adictive game as well! Rube Goldberg machines are awesome, I wish we could have done bigger levels to convey that feeling more in depth. Thank for playing and the feedback!

(really fun i love working out all the different letter mechanics!)

(Thank you for playing and for the kind words!!)
So creative!
I like the amount of different features with each monster. Great job on that!
Though it's hard to really solve the puzzles at least for me.
I am sure that the most of them I solved not the way it was meant and it's a good part. But it's really hard to think ahead. It's more like "just try different things until it works".
But the art is cool 💛
Thank you Mykyta! There is really not a "standard" way to solve the puzzles, we just made sure there was at least a correct solution, but the possibilites are beyond our planning! Everyone tries different things by trial and error, I love to see what people come up with. Thanks for playing :)
Congrats on the art and original concept !
thank you!
Thank you so much!! We did our best 💪💪
The art is cool and the concept and story are creative. But gameplay is ANNOYING, the T shouldn't make the ball bounce, it makes everything so much harder.
Still a good effort, more polish will make this game even better!
The game is designed in a way that you don't need every letter for every level. Each player will find their own solutions to the puzzle, which sparks creativity and gives freedom to move away from letters that you don't like or understand. I would recomend playing it again with that mindset! On the other hand, the T only appears in the first level, so with a bit of effort you wouldn't need to see it ever again. Cheers!
At first I was very confused, but at the second level I had a really good "aha!"-moment, and then the game was super fun. Great work!!
Btw, was the sound effect of the E-monster the EA Sports announcer??
This seems like a recurring feedback. I wish we had a little more time to do a proper tutorial, but I also like a lot that "aha!" moment you mention!! :D Thank yo so much for playing it till the end!!
The E was in fact... The EA Sports announcer ;)
So adorable art. Great job. Gameplay is interested as well but a little bit hard, i completed first level but it was 100% random) XD
Thank you! I'm glad you liked my art!
