Being stuck in a loop is annoying.
I like the art style.
Good job.

Nice game, cool graphics ! I really like the idea and atmosphere :)

harusame 2016-12-13 20:36

I think i'm stuck ^^
I dont know what can I do but nice graphics and I like the mood and audio.

Good job !

Wow! I looped four times, got "punished" two times and still want to try other sensible combinations... I love it, kind of hypnotic!

david-cookie 2016-12-16 00:24

You really like point & click, don't you? ^^
And you progress since last time too, the art here is pretty good! It could be a Lucas game, it's almost as hard xD

I'm not sure how to win after two tries, but nice job. The game's repetitive but that's the point of a time loop huh ;3

oh! Nice! And it's also online! Can I find it on indiexpo? I'm making videos about the games of this Jam, but only about the games hosted also on indiexpo! Tell me if you will add it, so I can include it in my next video ;)

Point and click adventures always get a +1 from me :)

simonhutchinson 2016-12-17 15:21

Ha! Ok.

Great visuals, and the looping music in the background is irritatingly appropriate!

quetzakol 2016-12-18 10:39

I liked the atmosphere, and the graphics are simple but nice ! You could have added more challenge to the "puzzle", which does not really make sense and is quickly repetitive, but overall that was a good game :)

Funny little game! I actually played through the whole second loop just to make sure I wasn't missing anything on that run, haha. I've seen enough LD games this time that have had some sort of mechanic like that, so had to make sure~

Gets a bit too easy once one has figured out what to do the first time, I suppose, but it was a nice little puzzle! The note that changed with each thing was funny.

The walking animation was rather humorous! Felt like the character was bobbing along to the music (good music, for that matter!), and of course the idle animation did too. Was also quite wonky how no matter what I melted it turned into the same kind of thing, hah!

Nice! c:

Gave up looking for an ending after 3 tries, but I really like the graphics. Also, kind of expected a point-and-click adventure eventually.

I couldn't run the game because of this: "The browser could not allocate enough memory for the WebGL content. If you are the developer of this content, try allocating less memory to your WebGL build in the WebGL player settings."

Will you make a windows build?

diningphilosopher 2016-12-22 19:31

Quite funny, melting all the things.

aurel300 2016-12-22 22:37

Solid entry. Took me a minute to figure out the puzzle, but didn't feel extremely satisfactory. Although … "The annoyingness serves a purpose." ? Does it really? I'm not sure what you meant.

Other than that, the graphics are pretty nice (although, mixing different scales of pixel art and having the graphics move on non-integer coordinates is a big no no in my eyes), and the music is pretty moody. I could imagine the game being more intricate / darker with that sort of music :)

Well done!

Amazing work the pixel art and cinematics. Audio went well with the game.

Got the punishment ending, but not sure if there's more to it. Great job!

saucygames 2016-12-23 07:22

I feel like this needs a little bit more explanation, half the time i feel like im randomly clicking and hoping for something to happen. Game looks good though.

themonsterfromthedeep 2016-12-23 23:29

Graphics and music are good. Gameplay worked, although I couldn't manage to get anything to happen other than the room completely resetting after melting all the objects. I can't seem to see anything else to do - is there something I'm missing?

ddrkirbyisq 2016-12-25 22:07

My first thought on "finishing" the game: "Wait... What the...?"

;)

mrshoestore 2016-12-26 21:31

thought i played and rated this game before, but apparently not! maybe it didnt submit. anyway, great job, love the look... not sure if it constantly loops or if it ends, i think i figured out a solution, but didnt repeat all my steps to do it since I'm lazy and it's the holiday.

rodobodolfo 2016-12-27 03:08

Nice! Love the visuals, the music, the animations, puzzles, inventory, everything! The walking speed can be irritating specially if you are trying different combinations and repeating some actions...Awesome entry!

thank you all for your great feedback :)

Short game but really nicely polished. Good job :)

obvious_san 2016-12-29 14:17

Nice art and music. The gameplay is quite easy once you figure it out, unless I'm missing something about the looping...

Actually I played a bit more and something different happened, and now I'm intrigued!

The first time I loaded the game, the door wouldn't open so I had to restart.
But the second time I was able to get through it, bug free :)

seconddimension 2016-12-30 14:40

Really liked the art style and colour palette. Interesting idea.

roguenoodle 2017-01-02 23:00

I'm feeling a little slow after the holidays, so unfortunately I don't think I fully solved this. I feel like it has something to do with the order of the flashing numbers, but ran out of time to test it. Really liked the character animation - had a Maniac Mansion vibe to it.

jupiter_hadley 2017-01-12 20:35

Interesting game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/Ysp76gwDV8M
