Nice and cute game! I have spent quite some time figuring out the solution to certain levels. It seems quite deep for a jam. Congratulations!

Awesome! This game is super cute! I love the elemental puzzles, and there's quite a lot of depth! I also love the paper mario like graphics. However, I do think that the health mechanic is- a bit useless. The health doesn't do much for the game when you can't really die.

Nice, enjoyed the game but for some reason the level kept resetting on the first aid one. It may hav ebeen me doing something wrong but there was no indication of why. Also input occasionally didn't work at start of a level and I needed to reset it before it started working again.

Really cool puzzle game. Some levels had me baffled for a bit but it was fun to work out the solution! Sometimes it did need a quick restart before my slime would move.

Awesome design! Cool puzzle levels and mechanics.

Nice style! Gets surprisingly complicated trying to calculate the HP loss, I felt smart for beating the medkit level but then got stumped :D

Hi, your game looks absolutely beutiful. Add some cool music and cool movement sound and it would be on whole another level.

I like your puzzles, the game is very interesting and your puzzles are really well designed!!! You guide your player to understand your mechanism and throw ideas of strategies. But sometimes I have to restart or I can not control.

I love turn based games and elememental play, so this was a great combo for me. I could not finish the large level (possibly the last?) with the slime holding the shield, as it is quite tedious to actually move the distances, when you have to mash the button and I basically gave up. The level design could use some work overall for sure, but I love the idea, and even the first few levels are a great (without the health mechanic even making it in there). I can see this being a turn-based game for mobile with level design tweaking (i.e. Lara Croft GO, and other GO games).

I love this idea! Great job with the onboarding/tutorial aspect of the game. Super easy to understand and play. Good difficulty progression in level design. The art style is also fantastic - cute elemental characters with a Zelda pixel art vibe. Music would have been nice! Overall great job and I hope you keep working on this one!

Very cute characters and good use of the Zelda art-style, though all the numbers are a bit confusing at first. Reminds me a bit of Chip's Challenge.

The visuals and design here are awesome! There's some really cool ideas in here and I'd love to see it refined and taken further! Some sound and music would have been nice - and the level with the shield slime could use a redo (having some checkpoint system would really make that one much more fun). Other than that, though? Awesome!

Awesome game, I liked the dynamics between the elements and is pretty fun to play. The player being faster than the camera bothers me a little but overall such an good experience, good luck in the game jam

Cool game good concept ! Take a few second to understand it but after this the puzzle are fun, a bit lacking in the audio feedback thought.

majadroid 2021-10-08 09:10

Super cool puzzle mechanics. That makes the game unique. The art style is cute.

The lack of sound is a big problem. If there is no sound at all, every game fels very empty. Next time you should put at least an hour in adding some basic SFX. That is so important for a game!

I love the concept. Neat puzzle game with very pleasant art. Gave me nice Zelda vibes. Also it's quite polished. Great entry!

garywiss 2021-10-08 10:13

Nice concept, I like the zelda like (maybe a bit too similar to zelda1) the puzzle are fun but the controls when you have to push a direction instead of holding it to move on the grid can be quite frustrating in the long term. Nonetheless good job !

Very cool game, I really like the elemental interactions between smiles. All puzzles were quite fun and novel, great job!

coderaurus 2021-10-09 10:16

Good puzzle game. I like the retro graphics, only thing missing is some music and sound effects to complete the set. I found the puzzles clever, good job!

A nice concept, and the presentation is quite cute (it's a shame some of these are recolored Zelda 1 sprites, but the slimes are adorable!). The turn based approach is good, but it doesn't feel great when you need to move quickly.

Love a good puzzle game! Plays quite well and fun to solve, only really lacks a bit of polish and audio. Wish the camera moved faster. Zelda sprites do stand out, looks rather like the 2D demo they made to prototype Breath of the Wild. 😅 Elemental mechanics are always fun and this rock-paper-scissors deal worked well. Good game!
