Favorite game of the jam so far! This was really fun, and sometimes frustrating (in a good way), to finish. I have only reached one of the endings so far, but i plan to come back to this and finish the other ending another day. I really liked the challenge of this puzzle, and the added time pressure from the work/break cycle. The hardest part for me is it tool 3 cycles to figure out how to do the wall jump correctly, but once I figured it out it was easy to repeat, so that made up for the frustration of figuring it out. Loved the simple artwork, music and sounds were great, and the story/theme itself was really fun. Great work.

I like the concept for this game, and the execution of it was really good. I would have loved for the puzzles to be more challenging to really make the experience great. The controls to look around were also very sensitive, making it difficult to move around.

Excellent execution. Art looks amazing, music was great, and the gameplay was fun. Nice simple game loop with a lot of polish. Only critique I have is that the interactions with the objects were a bit finicky. You had to get in just the right spot for them to work, and in the case of the vases, it made it difficult to see what symbol was on them. Otherwise, extremely well done game. Nice work!

Fun little game. I enjoyed learning to push the little mushrooms around to kill the slimes. It was a fun twist on the Mario experience you have made.

It felt like the controls had a delay built in, which made it really hard to control the character. I think with some more tuning of the controls, this could be a fun game.

I figured out the secret message! Fun addition. I think you did a great job for your first game. Nice and simple game loop and a simple puzzle. It would be even better if you would have made some more levels with increasing difficulty of the puzzles. It was pretty quick to figure out, but I did like that I was able to finish it. Nice work.

Fun and challenging game. This style of game is always brutal, so I kind of expected that, but I still wish the fighting difficulty started a bit lower so that I could get used to the fighting experience before dying over and over. I would have played for longer if it had been a bit easier to start. Even with that though, I thought the game was fun. I like the concept and the simple art style. Sound effects were nice. It would be awesome to get some basic background music in there too.

This was fun to play! Simple concept to grasp overall, although I think it would have been nice to have more info in the tutorial about the gameplay rules and goals. Sound effects were cute and the overall audio matched the vibe. I liked that the concept was unique, compared to other games I've played.

Love the artwork. Simplicity is great. I agree with the others, that the puzzles were a bit too cryptic and I struggled to get very far. Some hints for when someone gets really stumped would be nice.

Fun short story and game. I liked the hidden entrances. Great interpretation of the theme, and I appreciate the extra effort with storytelling and artwork. Gameplay was pretty easy overall, so I think you could have challenged the player a bit more. Overall, nice work!

You rocked this game! My favorite so far. I found the game concept to be very clever and it was a lot of fun figuring out the challenges. Excellent work.

This was more fun than expected. I found my limit of my ability to remember though, lol. Nice idea.

Love the simple artwork of this game. Fun game concept, but I felt the controls were really difficult to do. Maybe the levels just progressed in difficultly too quickly for my abilities. In particular the jump, hold, jump direction combination with the really short time window was brutal. I think it would have played much longer if it was a bit easier at the beginning so that I felt like I could keep making progress as I was learning new skills. 

Really fun puzzle with some challenging levels. I loved the dynamic enemy vision light and ricocheting shots. It got a bit repetitive over time though, and could have been better if it was either shorter or kept adding new mechanics to the puzzle. Very nice game.

Really well done and fun game! Nice level of polish.

What a unique idea! I love the originality of this game.

Fun but very hard! I tried a few times but didn't make it very far. I like the simple style and the bit of polish you added to give the jumps a good feel. Nice work!

Really nice story telling. You created a great atmosphere for the game. I would like it even more if the actions the player takes around the map while learning the story had a bit more challenge or "play" to them. Nice work, I had fun playing.

This was a cute little game. Even though you didn't get as far as you wanted, it was really good and fun to play. Love the art style and the music. Really nice work!

Fun puzzle. I like the graphic choice. Puzzles were way too easy though, I think you could punch those up some more. I also think falling into the pits were more of an accidental frustration instead of a fun gameplay mechanic. Overall, really well done little game. Great job!

This is a cool variation of a dungeon crawler. I love the door placement idea. The difficulty was pretty hard out of the gate. I personally would have liked it to be a bit easier to start, but I understand some games just like to be hard! Cool stuff!

This is a fun and simple game. I had a good time playing it. I think adding some polish would be the main suggestion I have for it to be better. Nice job!

This is my favorite game of the jam so far! My girlfriend and I had a great time solving these puzzles together. Just enough challenge to make us do some major head scratching for a bit, but very satisfying to solve. We were impressed by the cleverness. I think the simple art works well for the type of game and the sounds made sense. Think making the controls visible in game would be nice so when you're first learning you don't have to exit full screen to find them in the description. Great work!

I like the concept of wandering around these maze like rooms with mystery notes to help find the way out. If you would have been able to add the monster I think it would have turned it into a fun horror puzzle. The screen size and text are really small on my computer, so it's hard to read, so I suggested experimenting with your formatting. Nice start!

I had fun smashing through all the waves of goblins. Audio was great. Fun music and sound effects. Hits felt great. Would have been even more fun with some more variety in the attacks and enemies as the difficulty ramped up. Nice work!

i tried to download and run on my computer, but there didn't seem to be a program in there that my computer could run. could just be me not able to find it.

Really fun game! Artwork was great, audio was great, puzzles were fun and challenging. I loved the increase in challenge as it went on. This is an impressive game jam submission! This could easily turn into a great commercial game if expanded upon. Great work!

Fun artwork in game and UI. I enjoyed the sounds in many areas, even just hovering over the text in the menus. That was nice polish. Gameplay was pretty straight forward, and I felt that I wanted it to get more difficult more quickly and have some more interesting variables mixed in to keep me engaged longer. Nice work!

I had fun playing this clever music game.  I liked that it was a simple concept to grasp, but still challenging enough that I had to take multiple attempts to get the correct note order. One piece of feedback is that when I first started trying to play the notes, I thought I had to click on the horizontal lines instead of in-between the lines to get each note. I think that the graphic could be designed a bit differently to make it super clear where to click for each note. Great work!
