Use of the limitation
I interpreted the limitation very literally and made objects in the world alive. You can take control of walls and bridges. Trees and and rocks have eyes, etc.
Cookies eaten
Zero. :(

At first, I didn't understand what to do, but then I figured out that the highlighted characters could be controlled (later, you added this to the game description—nice!)
Once I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed playing. There's only one level, but I truly liked the whole concept + the visual style and music turned out great. And a cool animation at the end! The only problem is that z-fighting is visible on all models
Also, the controls feel very smooth!
By the way, this game slightly reminds me of Children of Fafnir
I had a hard time figuring the game out first because of the clunky camera controls, since it wasn't clear at all that moving while holding RMB would pan. Once I figured that out it was a pretty cool game, but the camera controls definitely made it harder. Throwing the gramophone off the edge stopping the music was a nice touch. I did find it a bit weird that you could control multiple objects at the same time, but mainly because it was unnecessary.
Overall though, I quite liked it.
Thanks for playing it! Appreciate the feedback. The camera definitely could use a rework.
Great art style and interesting concept! For me, there are some Baba is You vibes=) I am sure it can be a very tricky and deep puzzle game. with this concept. Nice work!
Thanks!
Really cool!! Congratulations, the key moment was a highlight but I enjoyed everything.
That's very kind! Thanks for playing it!
"press alt + F4 to exit" you evil XD
really cool game! I felt so smart when I used the bridge to move the player to the key, and then so stupid when realized that is the key what I have to move
Oh my gosh that's hilarious! I'm so sorry!
Also sorry about the alt-f4, it was done in good faith for the windows build. Didn't intend to have people closing their browsers lol.
Thanks for playing it!
Really trippy, but very creative! The limitation is very well-used, and the gameplay is enjoyable, with a bunch of "A-ha!" moments. The concept itself is cool, too.
Overall, great work!
Thanks!
OMG how a human brain can come up with this?
One of the best implementation of the limitation and it's a great game concept in general!
I just amazed!
Also appreciate to not make this game too complex. I mean I stuck a few times but not for long. And I have my "Ah-ha" moments. This is so cool, great job!
Thanks! I like that we both had similar ideas, funny little eyes popping out of inanimate objects. XD
This is so cool. The concept is really creative and I like the unique camera controls. This is one of the best games in this jam in my opinion. Well done :)
Thank you! That's very kind!
It's nice of you to appreciate the controls. I wanted the player to feel kind of like an observe, influencing events, rather than "possessing" different characters. I think the controls help to convey that sensation, but I think they would benefit from some quality of life improvements. Perhaps letting the camera track and orbit the selected objects etc.
Thanks for playing it!
Solid creativity! Nice touch making it so that jumping the gramophone off the edge stops the music
Thanks! I didn't have time to make good music, so I used bad music and let you kill it. XD
Really nice concept, one of the best limitation implimitation, i think. But struggled a little bit with player movement. I think he should jump a little bit higher
Thanks for playing it!
Very nice to play! Should mention a little clumsy with camera and movements, but otherwise - good work!
Seems like a prequel to a game about player and his dog)
Thanks for playing it! Yeah the camera has come in for some justified criticism. I think I should add the option to track the object currently being controlled.
Okay, the concept is AMAZING ! like the use of the limitation is a giant 5/5 on me !! Moving everything was pretty funny, however a lot of interactible objects were useless (could maybe went a bit further). Also, the controls and the need to switch to move the camera everytime was a bit clunky and all. Still a fantastic work
Overall an excellent game ! Congrats !
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
pleasure ! try my game too if u want !
Will do!
