Really beautiful game! GJ :D
I thought it was a beautiful puzzle game, but wow that last puzzle seems very hard! I loved the music and the sound for moving puzzle pieces was very satisfying. Unfortunately I didn't get to see the ending :(
It was a mistake in the game, we corrected it. Now I think you can finish the game.
@angelonias, thank you!
Really beautiful game! Nice music and design. One thing was hard for me to understand that i can walk left and right outside the screen. Some feedback for that like little arrows or something will help.
Astounding Asthetics, Art and Mood: A+ for that! Gameplay and Idea was not mine but overall a great project.
Love the art style and the point and click was well implemented.
The 3x3 puzzle upped the difficulty quite a bit.
I think the artwork help explain the story without words.
A job well done.
Wow this game looks amazing!!! Good job! I had a good time playing it.
Beautiful. The puzzle was a little bit repetitive but the music and the mood were prefect :)
All of the havens! I've save her! Screenshot_14.png
It's one of rare case when game fills like a complite product. With short but so meaninfull story and challenging gameplay! Thank you for it! It was a pleasure to play! Art is beatiful!
Судя по именам земляки ;) Еще раз спасибо! Го ее в релиз на айпадик, еще два дня и думаю на фичеринг от епла втащит!
A bit repetitive, but you're three, so overall loved it, really cool mood and graphism, it gives f e e l s
Well played ! :D
Really nice mood, art style is really pleasant and the sound design was nice :) Almost got a headache on the last puzzle :D Good job !
Those puzzles were so genius! Props for that, and overall the music and art fit well together with the story. So beautiful <3
My 5 stars for the mood. Graphics and Audio are awesome and contribute to it. I really felt immerged in a very particular world, with a great story telling, while focusing on the clever puzzles. The theme feels a bit off tho, but it doesn't matter at this point :)
Very well done, it gave me chills!
The graphics :O !! So beautiful, good job :) I enjoyed playing it.
Totally agree with Bastienre4, is not my style game, but i want finish it !
@timco Thank you, we will take this into account in the future.
@fabian-pohl @eldogg @mrerdalural @bastienre4 @narudgi @yuuk @kultisti @small-little-alduin @ramou @ekilibr Thanks! We are sincerely glad that you liked it!
@makerart We are glad that you succeeded! Спасибо за отзыв ;)
The mood is awesome! Really poetic music, SFX & arts :D GJ!
Wonderful! All the art is incredible
I am really struggling with those damn puzzles :D But managed to play through till the end anyway :) Good experience
Amazing art direction! Gameplay is a little bit straigtforward, but the dreamy mood and music just hit the spot. The story progression was tragic and reminded me of Sword & Sworcery: EP, so all in all this game just kinda blew me away, very impressive!
I thought this game was really well polished and it seems like your team managed to finished what you set out to do, so +1 for that! Really like the artwork too. I just wish I was better at the puzzles because I had to give up on the (seemingly) last one.
Понравилась работа со звуком
This game has definitely got me interested... amazing mood of the game... feels very emotional... I am not even going to start talking about the mechanics or graphics since they are amazing (even tho a bit repetitive but that's fine for the length of gameplay)... just amazing... thank you!
Omg! Amazing art!
Beautiful game! <3
This game is soooooooo beautiful ! short puzzle are pretty cool (but a bit repetitive :s) and music is very relaxing.
But something is wrong : how the game is related to the theme ?
couldn't evaluate will evaluate later, the art looks great though
That was amazing, graphics are beautiful and the music is fantastic. The game play is simple, but that works well for me for such a game that is more like an experience or narrative based. Really, the music is something i'd listen to outside of playing the game, which is extremely rare on game jam games for me. Played thorugh, Fantastic!
edit for response to the question below: I totally see the realtion to the theme - the nearer you get to "reviving" your lady flame, the weaker you yourself get. On a narrative level, the theme is well met. On the gameplay level not so much. But as i said, for me the gameplay is not the most important part of this game, so it also does not need to transport the theme that much.
Some people do not see that the game corresponds to a given theme. And what do you think? There are thoughts, what does it correspond to? :)
We are wondering if many see what we planned to bring there.
Thank you all for your feedback and criticism, we are sincerely glad and grateful to you for it!
I'm in love with the graphics!
A fantastic looking game. I had trouble playing it as my cursor was hidden while not clicking. Music and sounds were excellent and I like how after each puzzle the character got weaker.
what a beautiful game. amazing art and music and mood. i enjoyed the puzzles very much. this project really stands out
@lekiy Is there a problem with the MAC version? We will try to solve it.
Art was very cool, and you can see that you gave a good attention to the details of the game, congratulations.
@Scarf, Yes I was on mac
Lovely game! Really interesting how those small differences in the walk animation could change how you feel. And so nice visual communication. Really liked the combination of the style of pixel art with that of paintings. Effective music. Just the right game length. 5/5
A beautiful journey in an enchanting world... :heart:
Great aesthetic and atmosphere. My mouse cursor didn't show up properly though which made it a bit tough to play. As with another commenter above, I am on a mac.
I see how the more pieces you have in the puzzles, the harder it is, and that the more orbs you have unlocked, the harder it is for the player character, but I didn't quite understand why the orbs had that effect?
Also, in fullscreen mode, there was a very visible vsync issue whenever the player was walking.
Wow, top entry, great game! Visuals, audio, music, puzzles, everything is too perfect! The last puzzle made me think for some time, it felt like a good challenge. On the other hand I don't think it fits the theme very well. Definitely My favourite so far! Great job!!!
Stunning art and very atmospheric sound. Puzzles reminded me of how much trouble I have with Rubix Cubes. I'm glad it didn't get over 3x3. Gameplay wise, navigating between the screens felt painfully slow, which reinforced the mood, but there might be other ways to accomplish that (e.g. off the top of my head, a closeup montage of crawling / stumbling). I didn't really feel a tight connection to the theme, but overall, really wonderful work.
Really, really beautiful little puzzle game. The only thing I wish is that you could move left and right with the arrow keys or AWSD, just because it was hard for me not to accidentally click out of the game. But gosh, that was a beautiful experience. Stunning visuals, lovely SFX and fun little puzzles. Fantastic submission!!
Not surprised someone else brought up Rubik's cubes, it's what came to mind for me too. You start to find the right layout, then you have to mess it up to get the other pieces in place, and then you feel a looming sense of doom. Or at least i did.
Absolutely gorgeous art and sound design. Excellent work.
Hi there! It looks like you've used 3rd party music assets in your entry. **Please OPT-OUT of the audio category in accordance with the rules.**
From the rules page at https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/rules:
> **You’re free to use 3rd party Artwork/Music/Audio assets, or assets you previously created, but we ask that you OPT-OUT of the respected voting categories (Graphics, Audio).** You can opt-out of a voting category when you submit your game.
That aside, this is a pretty well-done experience overall, though a bit simplistic. I haven't done this sort of puzzle before so it was pretty fun figuring the mechanics of the 3x3 grid out, but all of the 3x3 grids were basically the same puzzle with no variation. Yes, you changed the layout of the arrows slightly, but for each puzzle there was at least one arrow for each row and column. (it doesn't matter what side the arrows are because shifting 1 to the left is equivalent to shifting 2 to the right) I guess that's not immediately obvious to everyone, but I think it would be interesting to have at least one puzzle where there is a row or column without any arrows at all.
The narrative was fine, if a tad bit cliche, but the visual style you've created with the watercolor-like textures and abstract shapes really sells the whole package.
really like the acrylic pixel art style graphics
Man, I really liked those puzzles! The art and mood was really well done too, although I don't think it really fit the logical side of the puzzles. nevertheless, lots of stars to you
@DDRKirbyISQ, oooh, we missed this part! Thank you! We just opted out from Audio category.
As for puzzles, we actually had a few variations with no arrows in some rows for 4x4, 5x5 and 6x6 layout. But they came out very very hard to solve. And at the very end, we were rushing out to simplify those puzzles down to 3x3 grid, which has lost a bit of variety.
@nope404 - No problem! And that makes sense; time limits are hard!
WOW this as a jam game blew my mind. Really beautiful artwork. The puzzles are great; despite being simple, they are very interesting. I do agree that they are a bit repetitive, but they are probably better off kept this way than being turned into 4x4 or 5x5 grids which would be WAYYYY worse. The pacing of this game is very well executed, especially the ending (it literally gave me goose bumps). GREAT GREAT GAME!
Wow! Who knew one could tell such a beautiful story without any words and with just a few puzzles. Great mood and a wonderful way to tell such as tragic yet beautiful tale. Well done!
Lovely poetic game! I like puzzles, and those are enjoying, the arts are beautiful, and the gameplay is not too hard, nor too easy. I got the ending, and I liked playing this game. Well done! :)
So beautiful.
Very charming and beautiful graphics. Simple puzzles but nice story and mood. I love how you used the theme to tell a story and not directly to the game mechanics. Very good job.
This game gave me chills. At the end the story felt complete and I needed no more. You told it beautifully. The artwork is obviously amazing. The puzzles gave me a hard time, but I was able to get through them. The audio did so much for the atmosphere. Thank you for this. It was short but had a huge impact. I like the fact that you left the ending screen hanging there indefinitely. A hidden gem among the LD games. Great job!
I'm truly impressed.
