I have saved the old man! Fun little puzzle, nice art.

Thx @oxlox, actually, I'm planning to make a longer, (sad?) story (around 20-ish panel). But, didn't have time to create all of them..

Really cool take on the theme in a cool genre. The art style worked really well for this game and the mechanics work well.

piko-monde 2020-04-20 04:35

@thegamegoyal Thx for the feedback.. Glad you like it! :smile:

I really like the puzzle and the art looks amazing.

Fun game, it almost felt like a sliding block puzzle? I like the idea of browsing around a large picture in smaller tile chunks like that. I was confused what the blue item you collect was, but I was able to figure out what to do with it anyway.

That was fun. It's very cohesive, and the art is great!

piko-monde 2020-04-20 05:22

@retti01 Thx, glad you like it!

@mbc Nice feedback! Yeah, I should make the mouse changed when it hover the object, it will make the object easier to find..

@anchoredtoad Thx, I really like the pixel art style game, and it is also easier to create, at least for me.. :smile:

I really like the music! I cured the man but it took me a while to figure it out :)

Great game! How many birds are sitting on a tree? Maybe add keyboard controls to switch between screens?

Very fun puzzle! Having to think how your actions impact another screen you can't see reminds me of old Point n Click adventure games.

As feedback, I'd recommend making the navigation arrows stand out -- for the first 3 minutes I couldn't see it. Maybe white or a pastel orange.

@magnusfurcifer Yea, I'm using FamiTracker to make a NES-like music.. :smile:

@syo No, they're not sitting.. It's hatching.. :laughing:. Aahh... Nice idea, putting keyboard control to switch screens.. Adding to my widhlist.. Thx for your input.. :smile:

@ironygames Pastel orange, nice input.. Thx.. Glad you like it!

Good game, I like the idea! It could use a little bit more of feedback for the player.

The part with disturbing the birds nest - it would be better if the birds flew towards the cloud instead of a random direction. At first I clicked on the tree at least two dozen times and nothing happened, because not a single bird hit the cloud. I thought that either I've been doing something wrong or the game was bugged.

Also, I think I've managed to heal the old man, but the game could use some sort of information you've completed it - whether it is a message saying "The End", the old man rising up and moving around to show he's healthy before the screen fades to black, or something similar.

A lovely short game. It was a fun to solve it.

criggles 2020-04-20 16:24

Really nice little point and click adveture, not played one in ages!

The art style is really nice and I think the music really helps with the mood. Awesome entry.

piko-monde 2020-04-20 22:02

@lcstark Actually I'm planning on creating an easter egg on the other room where the birds hit.. I will make it less confusing :smile: On The End part, actually I'm planning to add "happy" music when he is heal, but not finish creating the music, ha ha.. I should add info when the game ends..

@szieberth-adam @criggles glad you all like it! :smiley:

Nice little puzzle game, really like the art style (love pixel art). Only a little suggestion, it's unclear how many times I need to click, you could make that a bit more obvious by adding visual clues, like having 10 leaves on the tree and after a few clicks, the first one falls. After a few more, the 2nd one. That way the player knows he's "clicking in the right direction" if that makes sense? :D

Great job!

thedouche 2020-05-02 16:41

Haha, nice game! :D

Little bit of thinking required. Bird effect on the cloud could be clearer. I echo others that navigation would be nice with arrow keys.

rjhelms 2020-05-02 17:01

Great art and music. It took me a while to figure out that I could follow things from screen to screen, but it was fun to discover everything.
