The visual style is great! I really like where you're going with that.

The visual style is great! I really like where you're going with that.
Good graphics I'll download it and try
Great visual style. Didn't run amazingly on my computer, and there are a few places in the room to stand where you can't see your own character. Couldn't get the boxes out of the first room, and I'm not sure why -- box pushing was unfortunately pretty fiddly :(
Definitely a contender for rank 1 graphics in the whole competition, great job you guys! Makes me wish I went for a similar art style with my entry :P
While I also was unable to move boxes out of the original room, I have to say you nailed the paper aesthetic! Really made me wish I could play further.
Beautiful, the art is so so good! Congrats <3
The Art concept is stunning, you did a wonderful job on level design too. It didn't run well on my computer but it's one of the most beautiful game on the Jam ! Great game !
The cardboard art style is very beautiful! But, unfortunately, I have the same problem as the guys above: the boxes always stuck in the first room.
This is absolutely beautiful! Well done on the visuals and the theme. Sadly I also couldn't get the boxes out of the first room (are we just not getting it?), but I'll check back to try finish this because it seems fun~
Hey all! Just wanted to write a quick comment about the main mechanic (which is def underdeveloped and not clear enough hahahaha). The actual solution to the puzzle is that the cardboard boxes "match" positionally with the locks; that is to say if you move a box, a corresponding lock will move in the other room. Get all the locks on stickers by moving boxes to the matching positions in the other room and the big door will unlock! And as a note, this first puzzle is the only one implemented! Once you solve it you can basically just keep walking through rooms haha. Thanks for the feedback everyone, I really appreciate it!!
I was immediately drawn in by the beautiful art style! Sadly, my crappy computer struggled to run this at more than 10 FPS. Some graphics settings would be great, but that's hard to implement in 72 hours.
Loved the graphics and the concept was really cool. I did run into an issue where I pushed the boxes into a wall and then couldn't move them out though so had to restart the first time. The second time I did the same thing but got lucky that it triggered something and the door unlocked. Was also a bit of a struggle moving the boxes forwards and backwards as opposed to left/right. Definitely a great start on a game though.
Also, I definitely just walked off the very end after the guy wearing a sandwich for a hat which made me chuckle.
You definitely have the makings of a beautiful puzzle game here!
* I'm not sure if it's me but if the low FPS of the game is set like that, it actually *diminishes* from the experience, if you ask me because everything feels clunky. * If it's not deliberate, I think there's too much going on or you're rendering everything at once, *including those that are outside the scene and you don't want that.* * There is definitely a bug about the camera, and it happens when you hug the walls, forcing a transition despite not going into the next area. It is nauseating. * The instructions of the boxes and the keys could definitely be better. * How the game controls definitely needs to be improved. You should find a way NOT to move the boxes accidentally. * Froggie!
You guys definitely gave a lot in terms of how everything looks. If you keep up the momentum into a full game, I bet you guys can definitely can attract the crowd!
This graphic idea is amazing but when I play my boxes don't move, I don't know why and I have low FPS for this simple game.
Very cool authentic paper art! But hard to play, bugged, boxes out of the room - nope, tried a lot. Hope you'll get it fixed. Added with some fitting sound design, this beauty might go all the way to the tops!
Oh damn those visuals are stunning !
I have to say with such a cool username I was expecting more marbles :)
The game itself is interesting, but it would be so much better with some music/sfx ! First sfx would greatly help to give some feedback, for instance to indicate that you've opened a lock. Then some music or jsut a sound texture would create a real atmosphere, here the contrats between the amazing art and the silence is weird ^^ I'm not sure to see the connection with the theme tough...
Also you're missing a wall at the end, the player can fall :)
It is lovely to look at, and whilst a bit stumped at first I did solve the puzzle. I found the boxes to a be a little sticky at times, like there would be a direction they would not move in for a while.
Top marks for mood / style. Keep up the development enough to see your vision through!
