Good, though it's quite difficult to figure out where things are supposed to go and how to operate the game. Also encountered a bug whereby a pipe would rotate in-place forever if clicked twice. All in all though a really solid foundation and pretty well put together.
I really enjoyed your game. I couldn't get very far due to the endlessly rotating pipes. Maybe it is intentional, but I couldn't rotate some pipes at all making it impossible for me to position (unless I was just trying to goto the wrong room and that pipe wasn't supposed to rotate yet.) Great job overall!
It feels really good to peek into the windows with the camera moves.
Speaking of the mood, it's great. But speaking of the tubes, it feels weird not knowing the right desitination.
And it's weird that all the rooms are connected with those tubes and monitored by someone peeking from the window. This can go deep and dark LOL
Really sweet ! I found that the blocked pipe was a little difficulte to undertand, there should be some hints that only the grandma can deliver to this person (I'm not giving a name to avoid spoiler). With more juice, maybe little scenes with the characters in the building, and more missions, it would be a really fun game that I would buy ! Nice concept, good job !
Wow.
Nailed it.
I did not plan to spend my whole meeting solving a cute little romantic comedy of a puzzle game. . .but I did. Thank you for this game, it's sweet, it's well-executed, and it's just wonderful.
Thank you @xlores-liang for your feedback :) Yes that's possible to make a game a little bit dark... :spy: But for the delivery destination, did you seen the letters inside the appartments ? (The button is on bottom of the screen).
Thank you @axelle-desquilbet and @b4ux1t3 for your lovely feed back! <3 @axelle-desquilbet Maybe I will make this little game a "real" game after my current development, why not ;) @b4ux1t3 Sorry for your meeting but I'm so happy you enjoyed these little stories :)
Thank you @mals :) There is one pipe broken and it will be repaired after some additionnal steps in the scenario. But the endlessly rotating pipes is a bug, sorry for that :/ Hope you enjoyed anyway ^^
Thank you @emily-ttg :) Yes I think this POC can be clearly upgrade with some features to make it simplier to understand. But like for Mals, the endlessly rotating pipes is a bug, sorry for that :/ Thank you !
Interesting game ! It might be a bit too hard at first, but that is an interesting take on the theme, with a story to follow. Good job :slight_smile:
That was an extremely sweet love story!! I wholly enjoyed the combination of using "context clues" from the letters with the mechanics-based pipe puzzles. The fact that you were able to make this game bilingual is impressive and appreciated. That one "stuck" pipe felt a little awkward/confusing; what if it shook or made a little sound effect to indicate that it was intentional? That might be cool. Great work!
Thank you @meta-link ! :smile: I'm happy you enjoyed the game. If you want, do not hesitate to tell me what was difficult for you at the beginning of the game :wink: That would be insteresting :smile:
Thank you for your feedback @decadedecaf :smile: In fact, I finaly forgot to add some particle effect on the broken pipe, my bad ^^' But your idea of sound effect is really good too! I tried my best to make the game bilingual :smile: I'm happy you enjoyed the game! :smile: Thank you for playing it <3
Wow tha was an amazing experience! Loved the way you conneceted both storytelling with a puzzle gameplay. I'd love to know more about the characters so those stories feels more personal, but I understand the time constratins. Congraulations to everyone!
First off, really switch intro-logo, and I love your studio's name too! This game is so sweet, as in charming <3
Nice work! The game was really fun!
Hi! I'm a bit sad, I really wanted to play and enjoy your game, it's really my kind of thing (and we also did a narrative game around letters). I however couldn't even send the first one, one tube to the bottom right flat doesn't seem to work, and I couldn't manage to send it to any other one. I put my rating on hold for now because I would really like to try, would you mind sending me on the right path?
Hello @tom-oak and thank you for you message :smile: The pipe you speak about is broken and that's normal at the begining of the game. Unfortunately, it spawn with wrong direction sometimes but it's not even a problem. The first letter may be send to another appartment ;) So, when you will need to send a first letter to the bottom right appartment, do not consider the orientation of the pipe. I can just tell you (without spoilers) that you must make enter your letter via the bottom side :smile: Hope it will help you to try my game :v: I'm going to see yours too haha :smile: Do not hesitate if you have other question or another problem ;) Thank you :)
Thank you @obe-dot :smile:
@weirdbitgames I'm happy you enjoyed the game (and our logo :smirk:). Thank you for your nice comment <3
@arturcosta Thank you for your feedback, i'm really happy you lived a good experience with our tiny game ^^ At the conception stage, characters should have been present but... Time has decided otherwise :cry: I'm currently thinking about making a "real" game. :smile: One more time: thank you for your comment <3
I loved the splash art, the flushed out start menu, and the polished gameplay. The story is touching and the mechanics are engaging. I ran into a couple issues that others have pointed out, like spinning pipes and some tutorial confusion. Overall, great addition to the jam!
Thanks for sharing.
Good points for Debussy ! Nice riff on the theme, nice story. I must confess the forever turning pipe bug is a little bit aggravating !
Well done guys! The combination of context clues and pipe puzzles was clever. Also, the camera moves added to the game's great mood and the story was an interesting take on the theme. Overall, a well-executed and fun game!
Hello @rocket-and-blanky and thank you for your feedback! Happy to see you enjoyed the game and its story. Definitely, i'm not good about making tutorials x) Sorry once again about the pipe spinning issue. Thank you again! :smile:
Thank you @carkh :smile: Yes Debussy is a genious, love him! Sorry for the pipe issue :( Hope you enjoyed the game anyway :sweat_smile:
Thank you so much @matterlinx for your kind comment! Really happy you appreciated it :smile: I’m currently thinking about making a “real” game. I think it's possible... We will see :smile:
The game is a bit difficult to understand at first, but once we understand what to do and start remembering where everyone lives, it becomes much better!
Loved it, very original.
Thank you @paul-maxime :smile: Happy you liked the game. I agree with you, the game need a little tutorial :wink: But time is time... :cry: Thank you for your comment :smile:
I really enjoyed your game! The game was really fun!
This game is my favourite out of all the ones I've played for this game jam!! incredibly cute, original, love the combination of puzzle mechanics and story. amazing job.
Thank you @nastasya for your comment :smile:
@mmisspelling Thank you sooooooooooo much! :heart: I'm really happy you enjoyed the game so much. Your game was amazing too, really loved it !
Wow, I have to say that I was thoroughly impressed with your game. The atmosphere and story were amazing, and I particularly enjoyed how the broken pipe was repaired throughout the game. The gradual increase in difficulty was also well-done and made the experience all the more engaging. However, at the start of the game, I found myself a little unsure of what to do. Additionally, I noticed that the broken pipe was facing the opposite direction. Nonetheless, these were minor issues, and overall, you did an excellent job and created really amazing game with enjoyable experience.
Super sweet game! Really loved the atmosphere, really cool way of using the theme. Really glad this was one of the ones I ended up playing in the jam, creative way to tell the story too.
Sweet and cozy game! Love that :)
Thank you @sylf :smile:
Thank @matthewdrake, I'm happy you enjoyed the game so much :smiley:
Many thanks @pedryx ! I'm happy you had great time on my game! I agree, the game need a tutorial but time was running out! xD You're right, the broken pipe can be setup in the wrong direction and I do not understand why. Thank you playing the game and your nice comment! :smile:
Absolutely loved this game. I thought it was genius. Though As said previously I wish the text was a bit more clear on the destination's place through subtle cues. For example like how the first letter was very clear that the recipient was into music/had a big music collection. Also found a little glitch where the tube connecting to the bottom right room wouldn't turn.
Thank you @adrien-tremblay for your comment :smile: At the beginning of the game, the broken pipe is normal but if it will keep blocked at the end, yeah that's a bug :bug: In the future, I will try to make text a little bit more clear :smile: Thank you for your feedback :smiley:
I loved the idea and feel of the game, Debussy really sets the mood. I too found the bugs limiting, fixing the bugs would have made for an awesome experience and a unique take on the game. Congrats
Thank you @jose-bonilla ! I will try to fix bugs and maybe create a full game :smile:
This is a very unique twist on the theme. The game was pretty fun and pretty impressive for a compo. Good job!
Thank you so much @bluedandelion. I'm happy you enjoyed my tiny stories :smile:
