LOVE the art style! Honestly, for me the gameplay was second to this, because I kept seeing all the visuals and thinking how impressive it all looked! That isn't saying the gameplay wasn't great too though, because this was a lot of fun to play! Good job!

- A humorous, satirical and nostalgic point-and-click adventure in the vein of Maniac Mansion. The elemental powers bring a fun supernatural twist to the puzzles, and I enjoyed figuring out how to dispatch the occupants without too much drama. The writing is light hearted and funny, and the visuals are very well done. Easily a highlight of the jam for me. Great work!

I simply LOVED the entire game (except for that damn girl)! I'm starting with the doubing and the lines because they were what got me into the game and prevailed with until the end of it. They were sensational and funny as HELL! The soundtrack is superb, loved listening to some good old comic but classic harpischord which really sets the mood for the game. The PIXEL art was really amazing. You guys really knows how to make dots on "I"s. Every puzzle I played through was hard for my only neuron alive, but really drove me back to my childhood which was all about point and click games.
Congratulations! You got on your hands a solid entry.
This is one of my favorites of the jam! It hits the same spot as newgrounds-era point and click adventures, and needing to interact with the environment using a specific set of elemental spells is a really neat idea

Monitors Back OnlineWell, that is one of the best game of this jam. Cant believe that you made it in a week. I also liked the humour and voice acting

Final Entity $I've been looking forward to playing this one since I'd seen the initial screenshots of the opening with the spooky eyes. I really enjoyed it - good sense of humour, intuitive to control/progress and amazing production quality given the time you had!

The Spaceman's Memory BoxI loved this game, the puzzles were great and rewarding when you work them out. Very funny storyline and conversations. Had a lot of fun playing this - great work DuckMadeOfWood!

Point Click Killeri really enjoyed this! the writing was great, really felt like something from the golden era of point and clicks. i'm surprised you managed to finish it all in 7 days. i think the system of having a specific group of commands instead of picking up items to reuse was a great choice, it means that even if a puzzle was confusing you could literally just brute force it by using all four things on everything in the room. all of the voices were good, but in particular i really liked the voice of the real estate guy. the recording quality wasn't great but the voice really matched the character. overall it was a lot of fun! did you use adventure creator for this or was this custom?

mallHi! First of all thanks for playing. I slept an average of 3 hours per night during the jam period and basically worked every moment I was awake. We had a very good initial planning and we used a Scrum board to help us stay on track. We had to cut many ideas (for instance the Real Estate Guy was suppose to be a killable character) to achieve the dead line but this is what Agile is for. Also I shall mention that I would have never managed without the help and support of my man Hankworx. It was the first time we collaborate but we had a fantastic sinergy since day 1. I also took the shortcut of having the main character as a floating head with psychic powers to do not need to animate a lot for him but also to explain his "weakness" in terms of gameplay. I'll let Chris know you loved his voice over. Yes, unfortunately his Mic was not great. Anyway we are planning to re-take his voice over after the jam with a better one and to add the "lost room". I used Adventure Creator + Feel and a lot of custom made scripts for the powers.
