Its weird that I toss things behind myself. Overall the game looks and feels good.

I enjoyed the uniqueness of each of the puzzles. Also I somehow didn't expect to be able to bring items into the other rooms, had quite the AHA-moment :-)

Pretty sweet!

Absolutely loved it, well done dude!

I really enjoyed the theme of every room and the puzzles that went along with them, great job!

Yeah, the only problem I had was that I tossed things behind myself. I really liked the graphics though!

Love the artwork! Couldn't help but make a mess of the place, sorry :(

A good trial-and-error puzzler. I really enjoyed it!

Nice work on the graphics and well adjusted "escape the room/puzzle" for the theme. Congrats!

Really really nice! Solving the puzzles was really enjoyable :)

Should add a loading bar, nicely designed logo made me think it was part of the site.

Unfortunately I couldn't beat the last room with the star, lamp, tv, etc. Still pretty good though!

Sweet. Good effort dude!

Nice graphics and nice puzzles!

I'd love to know where the idea for this came from! Particularly making the antagonist a giant space hopper.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Hint: Final level requires you to craft one of each of the items that starts on the back wall. Its a circular conversion sequence, and everything you need to complete the room is already in the room.

The final boss was very last minute, I needed something big and slightly disturbing based on the same art style as the main character, so I lopped his head off, enlarged it, and glued legs to his head. And then made him float.

If I remade this game, I think I'd make puzzle bosses a core feature of the game; "They're big, and scary, they're in the room where you can see them, and you can't get past them until you've solved the challenge."

Nice. Took me a while to figure out the room with the plants, but otherwise things went smoothly.

Nice graphics, I can't solve the puzzle by myself but I enjoyed the tamborine man.

I kept getting told to go back, even though the room was complete - but I think I won in the end - though not entirely sure haha. Liked the style of the game, though it took some trial and error to figure out what to do. :D

Very pleasant, I think it's the game among those I've seen which is respecting the most the theme. Good Job !
