Very cool game, i got all the bones after a couple of minutes :D, reminds me of minit. Also the movement is kind of janky, because you dont stop after you press the movement button so i would change it so that you can change your direction mid walk for a smoother feel.
I really like this idea! The time limit makes exploration interesting, having to make multiple trips before figuring out how to get the bones.
Super cute art style and audio! I love how the hiccups aren't fully explained and you figure it out organically. Love the mechanics like fast running and the buttons!
Awesome game, it reminded me a lot of Minit too. Very charming and quick to pick up and understand, great job!
I got all the bones! Engaging and fun little puzzles. I like the bark between each teleport. Only thing was at the end when I was at the last bone, waiting for the extra time to switch locations, but I don't think that can be avoided. Well designed and a good entry!
You managed to pack a lot of different things and puzzles in to the game. My memory is trash, so I felt that it would have been nice to maybe get to stay in the same place at every map when switching back to it, but that might have made the game too easy. I got 5 bones before I got to frustrated (I think I found the solution to all of them though). Nice little game, thanks!
Love the artwork, and the gameplay is smooth and easy to understand for a jam game. Nicely done!
I loe this concept a lot, the art style is amazing, the puzzles are well thought out, and theres enough variance that i always felt like i was doing something new Solving 10 different puzzles simultaneously is truly an awesome concept and im glad you did it justice!
This is a genuinely really clever idea, and I loved how my brain would jump to "Now I can do this thing!" whenever it swapped location. It works so well for this theme, and 10 seconds feels about right.
My only issue is that I'm not great at puzzle games, so after the first 3 or 4 bones, I found it to be pretty hard, and I lost track of what I was doing once or twice. I still enjoyed it, but it just tipped over into the "too challenging" section, but that's me, not the game.
I think overall it's a great idea, and it's been really well executed. The art works, it's innovative, and it fits the theme really well.
I think the idea is good, but maybe the puzzles need to be simpler if the timer is only going to be 10 seconds, or have less spawn points to start with. It was hard to keep track of what was going on, and for some of the puzzles you had to start right away to have time to reach everything. I like the simple graphics though, and it was fun figuring a few things out. Cool entry!
I got 8 bones, I didn't really understand how to solve the two key puzzles. I must have missed something staring me right in the face! Still, I had a great time, nice job packing all of these little puzzles in!
It would have been nice to have a way to skip to the next zone early or not warp back to zones I've cleared. With the last bone (the digging one), it would have been nice not to wait to cycle through two warps before I could make progress.
Fun little puzzle game!
the level switching idea is very cool! :thumbsup:
You got my attention with the game's name and I can say this is a fun little game :grin: Loved the level design, makes you try to remember each level and prepare for the next "hiccup"
Great job!
Highest notes on the concept and theme, and that level design with the interconnected zones was :kissing::ok_hand:
It was also very varied with wildly different puzzles to boot, this kept me expecting new things every screen and it delivered!
I had a blast with this one, congrats!
Oh by the way something very important I have to tell you about your game but wait first I have to sneez-
Simple but very cute and fun. The bone where you need to warp a key from one area to a different one took me quite a while but was satisfying. Though I would've liked the ability to skip areas, though probably not at the start - maybe once they're fully explored or something? I enjoyed this one and would play more levels if you made any.
A really cool minit-like entry!
I got all the bones! Wasn't sure if there was going to be an end screen, because I got the last one right after a switch, and it waited several seconds to show me it. (Not sure if it was tied to the warping or not.)
Very cute collection of little puzzles. Took a while to get my head around how to remember where things were, because the jumps were so fast, and it might have been nice to have bone markers on the map for bones we've seen but not collected, and maybe even one for bones we have collected to help with that, but it wasn't too bad once I finished one of the maps and only had to remember things in the other two.
