Good story and beautiful graphics.
It's very unique! I'm impressed by how much was put together in three days and the art and music fit the mood. The puzzle piece snapping can feel a bit unforgiving sometimes.
Хорошая игра только русский язык не включается
Unusual interpretation of the topic! I really like the solution with different puzzle elements (round, sharp, square) depending on the stage of the plot - it demonstrate the emotions of the main characters very well. And the way the puzzles were shaking after collecting pictures is showing unstable state of a relationshp. Also that's a very cool and cozy art style. Thanks for your team and I wish you good lick!
@crotonyl-alcohol thank you!
@maychant I made fix for snapping due to I have few hours before deadline. Thank you for report!
@pashaloban спасибо, что сообщил. Проблема исправлена, русский язык работает во всех версиях.
@euphelys yep, you understand everything as we designed :) btw, did you know what happen if you click on the final picture? ;)
@yaroslav-kravtsov, Yesss! When I was asking myself where are all credits I expected something like this. At first, I have a feeling that everything will crash suddenly by the end of the game. Interesting decision ^^
Best puzzle I've (p)layed in a long time. Really cool!
I played the whole thing. This is very unique, and I would totally want to put together more stories like this. I got invested in the story, I was surprised they lasted as long as they did. Fits the theme so well. The finale of pulled it all off to get back to beginning is very satisfying.
The idea of the game is really original! The story was a bit sad but the overall experience was great
Neat idea for a story based experience. The more panels were revealed, the more I wanted to know about the showcased events. Good job!
The ending felt really poetic, with everything kind of blurring together as puzzle pieces from different pictures showed up together and you could see all the different stages of their relationship at once.
Really solid execution on the puzzle! It worked really well and felt very engaging. The ending was very satisfying too!
Cute way to tell a story! I love the art style.
Классно, прошёл до конца. Вызвало история вызвала противоречивые чувства. Классная картинка. Звук. Не мог долго сообразить что делать в самом начале )
Really impressive game, and well executed. Really liked the visual style and the music fit perfectly. Very smooth. Good work.
Damn this was something different . Loved the way it was presented
Loved the animations
Really, really nice idea! Very well made. Love it
Не уловил связи с темой джема. В остальном же супер. Графика, сюжет, музыка - шикарны. А геймплей - ну пазлы они и в Африке пазлы. В конце любопытная интерпретация фразы "вся жизнь пролетела перед глазами") Так держать. Молодцы)
Whew, it's not often I get to slap 5 stars for Innovation on a game without a single moment of hesitation! This is so incredibly creative, and you even made the shape of the puzzle pieces change depending on the mood, which is a genius touch. My heartstrings were pulled, my eyes were impressed, and my brain kept going "wow!" so this is one darn good game.
Great, original concept. Gameplay is simple but the story keeps you hooked. I love the art style, too. Great work!
@lex-4kraba нестабильные отношения, сами картинки нестабильны (трясутся после каждого раунда, а потом рассыпаются вовсе в конце), примерно в эту сторону думали. Спасибо!
Nice idea, I enjoyed making the pictures as the puzzle pieces were fun to work with, the many different shapesmade it interesting!
Nice idea, nice realisation. The theme is well represented, well done !
Крутой арт и стилизация под картон. Еще задумка очень оригинальная. Лайк ♥
Great idea, right on theme, love the puzzle gameplay and variations. I got bored with the story though - he was such a jerk right from the beginning and it was just scene after scene of him being a jerk.
Clever interpretation of the theme. Simple gameplay but clever mechanism and story telling. Now I'm gonna cry...
Nice story, congratulations
Interesting game. Enjoyed it a lot
Wow!!!!! I was drawn by the amazing illustration style, but I absolutely loved the ending where you get to peel back time and the layers of their relationship in the context of their apartment. I absolutely loved the puzzle aspect of the game! The music I think could be more emotional to elicit a better reaction, but overall it was amazing!
This is such a clever way to tell a story! Loved how you changed the shape of the puzzles parts along the way. The ending is great and perfectly sums up the whole experience, well done and thank you for your game!
This should be on Steam.
Amazing!
Great art and music.
Telling a visual novel through a puzzle like that is genius.
There's tons of comments. Thank you all for your feedback!
This was very beautiful. Thank you for this. It is incredibly deep and meaningfull the way the theme, story and mechanics tie together.
Very novel way of a narrative through puzzling. Nicely done! Top marks. Love how the shape of the puzzle pieces morph to fit the mood. Nice reveal at the end to tie the experience together
Love the art style, super nice and the music goes so well. Such a beautifully made little game, impressive you guys made it in such a short time! Love it!
@becky-rayner @randomphantom @gerningerish and to you, everyone, thank you very much!
dude, i love this! its such a great relationship between telling a story and puzzling.
Вот прекрасный рассказ - очень красив. Мне очень понравилось жить с этими молодыми людьми, как будто я был невидимым свидетелем. Я бы хотел, чтобы он мог стать сценаристом, как он пожелал. Я бы хотел, чтобы она могла быть счастливой. Скажите ему, что курение вредит здоровью. Спасибо вам за урок русского языка :) я понял всё ++
This is one of the most beautiful stories which I read or played. The main gameplay is simple, but really well done. All works well as expected - and according to my gaming experience, it's more than a simple puzzle. The young people are endearing, but I would like to see more happiness at the end. Thank you for this entry. One of my favorites ++
Great game. The story was simple but immersive, I was able to connect to the characters quickly and really felt bad that it didn't work out for them in the end. You could see them both struggling.
At first glance, it is just a puzzle, but there is much more to it. I like the fact that the shapes and sharpness of the pieces reflect the mood of the picture. Every time a new puzzle dropped I had a quick look at what they present and I was like "oh no, they are going to fight". I thought it would be great if a player had more decisions on how the story goes, by introducing puzzle pieces with a different drawing on them that changes the story, but I realize that would increase the production time tenfold with all the branches in the narrative.
The theme is not in your face, but it is there. The instability of their relationship is delivered in their small remarks and behaviour. I like that.
Overall great job, one of the best games I played in LD49
Cute idea and very well executed. Good job!
Мне понравилось! История интересная, очень надеялся на хороший конец
Простите... но нет. Не надо так делать игры. Не надо заставлять игрока делать тыщу раз одно и то же абсолютно бессмысленное действие. При всём моём уважении... попытайтесь еще раз. Искренне желаю вам удачи.
I liked the story very much. It's very nice to see the reality of the story of a relationship that can end not only well. I really liked the graphics, it conveys the atmosphere very well. And the interesting idea is that the shapes of the details depend on the state of the relationship. It's nice to see that kind of attention to detail.
@xpoho это ты ещё не видел мою игру с предыдущего джема 😆 Но вообще тебе сюда https://twitter.com/YarKravtsov/status/1445691478324518917
I've never been so invested in a puzzle before! Art was beautiful and I really felt for the characters in the story..
Overall an amazing submission, well done!
Awesome, what a way to tell a story. I'm going to be sad for the rest of the day :c I really enjoyed it, well done.
Amazing experience, nice story and nice touch the puzzle mechanic unreveling new scenes (both when building them and when distroying them after) :clap: good job!!!
Such an beautiful game, the story and the characters feel real and I loved how the mechanics relates with the narrative, how shape of the pieces of the puzzle show how unstable their relation is. Surely a piece of art
Such a good story and talented artist, good job.
Wow, what a deep game!
The graphics are beautiful, and help to tell the whole story.
Sound is nice too. Helps keep the mood.
And the most important is the gameplay. It's not a simple puzzle, it's a narrative head I would say. You ride and wonder what's next for the couple.
I was a little sad because they apparently split up at the very end. I don't like sad endings hahahaha.
But it was an excellent game, an excellent interpretation of the theme. Congratulations.
Sad story, amazing concept of putting an unstable relationship together piece by piece. Art was very unique and music as well. Great entry!
This game was very well done! Love the graphics, maybe the music could change towards the end to help with the atmosphere :slight_smile: My thoughts are in my LP:

Thanks for your support and love! @alexascher Спасибо! @xpoho Попытаемся еще раз ;) @geckoo1337 Спасибо, это очень важный отзыв! Приятно слышать! Джонатан будет сценаристом. Я в него верю. Thank you for your kind letter. @molpe I can't believe this, it's so exciting. It's so good of you to do this! Thanks!
I love it, the mechanic was simple but really enjoyable and relaxing. The music is really well-made and adds a lot to the game. Great job!
Such a sad story, but a beautiful way to show it. I loved putting all the pieces together, and clicking through to take it all apart at the end was a nice touch.
It turned out great! I was happy to collect such a puzzle. It was interesting to see what happens next in this story.
Hi, will you be lucky in love on the Internet? The chances are the same as when meeting on the street, in the park, on the train, at work. Maybe it will, https://philipinesbrides.com/ maybe not. It's ridiculous to give guarantees. But you can try pagan dating here are many opportunities to find a good partner. The resources offered on the web range from “for starting a family and marriage” to “meeting for one night”. Choose wisely.
