Cool little game, it's as a nice atmosphere, great music, the zoom idea is pretty good, but it's hard at the beginning to become familiar with ...

But, it has some negative points : no fullscreen ... come'on we are in 2024, it's unbelievable that we still need to zoom on our browser to just see the game ...

i 've finished the game two times, the first with deduction for the frame number, and the second when I actually discover the worm (yes, it's an hint) and still I have the wood from the windows ... I found a bug too, when you fill your bucket with water, if you do it again some invisible items will add to the inventory ...

I recommend the game, it's fresh and not to difficult.

Thanks !

Thank you for playing and for the detailed feedback!

The wood thing and the bucket thing are definitely logic bugs, guess we once again didn't do enough negative testing, oops. Might fix those after the jam ends.

I can see that the zoom is a little tricky to get used to. I'd love to find a better way to control the zoom without losing the ability to zoom freely. Maybe I'll play around with it after the jam.

Not allowing fullscreen was honestly a stylistic decision. We kind of wanted this game to feel like one of those old flash games (e.g. Submachine). I'll admit I didn't think about ultra-high-resolution screens, but since it's possible to use the browser UI to zoom into the screen as a workaround, I'll probably leave it like this until more players complain about it.

Thanks again for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!
