Thank you for reminding me of my childhood times! What a great puzzle! Struggled a little bit with the apartment layout, but I started getting better at the game after doing smol levels inside the main level. Chill game, just as advertised :)

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-02 20:02

Thank you @spica, I'm happy you chilled on our game :wink: Thank you for playing and your nice comment :heart:

I didn't beat it, but I think I tried all the levels and sub levels, a fun game

herman6006 2023-10-03 09:36

Wow, the graphics and the artstyle is amazing. Relaxing and fun gameplay too :D

thenerdster 2023-10-03 09:36

Had feelings of nostalgia the whole time. There is something so familiar with your game. It had some difficult places (apartment) etc.? Really great entry!

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-03 10:14

Don't worry @mmason, yes i think last levels are a bit difficult haha :wink: Thank you for your comment :smile:

Thank you @herman6006, my girlfriend will be happy to read your nice comment about her art work :smile:

I'm happy you enjoyed our game @thenerdster :smile: For the familiar aspect and the feelings of nostalgia, i hope all a that remember you great memories :heart:

kath-art-ic 2023-10-03 17:08

Loving these puzzles! My favourite is the apartment, for sure, and the bento one made me really hungry TTuTT awesome!!!

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-03 18:10

Thank you for your lovely comment @kath-art-ic :smile: I'm so sorry for your stomac, hope you will have a great meal after that! :laughing: Happy you enjoyed playing our game :heart:

very cool game! I was really stumped on some of the puzzles but eventually got there in the end. graphics and music was very good

corporation 2023-10-03 18:57

Nice simple game with familiar concept, but I like how you made it special with themeing around the house stuff and with those internal mini games inside the main game. Soundtrack for some reason gave me early Dr Dre vibes XD. My main suggestion I this is to work on juice and feedback, like make placing tiles more satisfying, with snapping, clicks and visual effects. Well done!

iron-head 2023-10-03 19:23

The game is chill and fun. The beats are certainly fun. THEY MADE ME WANNA FREESTYLE (_I don't do that_). Just great. Thanks to the devs.

joesturge 2023-10-03 19:41

Very chill game, the music helps keep the mood calm even if you're struggling with the puzzles. The mini games were also a nice touch :smile:

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-03 19:59

Thank you @its-capp and congrats, you beat the game, you're now a true master! :smile:

Ho wahou @corporation Dr Dre was not realy our main music style idea but why not xD Thank you for your nice comment, happy you liked our game :smile: I agree with you about making our games more juicy next time. I'm not very good in this aspect, i will try to improve myself !

Happy you liked the mood of our game @iron-head :smile: Let's go making a freestyle about pentominos! :laughing: Thank you for your kind comment.

Thank you @joesturge :smile: I'm happy you appreciate mini games and i hope you beat it all ! :wink:

braktheman 2023-10-03 20:05

We heard you like limited spaces so we put limited spaces inside your limited spaces! Nice chill game experience. Everything seems to work as advertised and putting sublevels within the levels helps to set it apart from other organization games. Nice work.

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-03 20:40

Thank you @braktheman for your feedback :smile: Since this week-end we saw limited spaces everywhere!

ciaranw 2023-10-03 23:12

Nice relaxing music, and the graphics are really cute - especially the animations when you complete a level! I managed to fully complete the apartment and all the mini levels within it, but I found the level afterwards was just way too hard. It became trial-and error rather than puzzle - so even though I tried really hard, I had to give up before completing it, I retried so many different combos on the freezer. Maybe some more hints (or just smaller levels) would have made it more achievable, because I really enjoyed the first one, it was chill :smile:

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-04 10:33

Hello @ciaranw and thank you for your precious feedback! :smile:

Unfortunately, we do not have enought time to make more than 2 main levels so we tried to make the second one a little bit more complecated. Obviously, we forget "a little bit" during integration :laughing: Sorry for that ^^'

But we are happy to know that you enjoyed our game and saw the little details insides like animation or main level sprite replacement after mini-game completion.

Thank you for playing and you nice comment ! :heart:

congeesetador 2023-10-04 13:47

I loved the calming music the game has, it really makes you want to fall asleep listening to it, the transition from the main menu to the game was also really interesting and cool, you never really see blocky transitions like that but it fit so well with the game, it's such a simple concept of tetris themed but it was also really well made. Good job!

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-04 14:07

Thank you @congeesetador for your nice comment :smile: I'm happy to know you likes our game and chilled on it :heart:

At first, the transition was made by colorfull blocks but i didn't really like it. So finaly, i prefered remake it with simple black blocks :smile:

henk-fan 2023-10-04 15:16

Fun and relaxing game to play! I love the sorting theme of the game

fatemperor 2023-10-04 15:45

Cute inventory manager. Puzzles are too complicated for me.

akitl 2023-10-04 18:24

if you spam click you can place everything where you want

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-04 19:27

Thank you @henk-fan for your comment, happy to see you enjoyed our idea :smile:

Thanks @fatemperor, my girlfriend (who made the design) like your nice comment :heart:

I didn't try it @akitl sorry for that but thank you for your feedback :v:. That's not a point that i have time to spend on during a game jam. I hope you enjoyed the game anyway :wink:

dan-burns 2023-10-05 01:39

Super nice job on the graphics/design/art. Loved it!

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-05 07:32

Thank you @dan-burns, happy you loved our game! :smile:

wrong-timeline 2023-10-05 14:46

Very ambitious amount of content for a game jam, impressive!

golovco-adelina 2023-10-05 16:39

this is just the cuuuuutest!!! its giving me unpacking vibes i love it. the little bento stole my heart

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-05 18:43

Thank you @wrong-timeline , we did our best to give you a complete game :smile:

Yeah i see what is "Unpacking" and i agree with you :heart: Thank you for your lovely comment :smile: I think my favourite puzzle is the bento too :wink:

johnsensei 2023-10-05 23:05

On a Mac I'm getting the message "The contents of "Pentomaniac.exe" cannot be extracted with the Unarchiver." Any suggestions?

bluedandelion 2023-10-06 11:12

This is a very relaxing game, I really liked it, but i think I found a bug because I can't remove the toothpaste once I place it for some reason. Other than that this was an amazing game!

kiyoshi 2023-10-06 18:57

interesting ideea,so easy to understand and involve in game at first seconds. sprites look good for this concept.

fabula-rasa 2023-10-06 19:10

Very cute and quite meditative! Pure relaxation. The music also supports this chill atmosphere. Very creative tetris blocks :smile: It was a pleasure to play! Well done!

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-06 21:25

Hello @johnsensei :smile: Hmmm I'm not a specialist in Mac but is it possible the ".zip" file type cause some troubles ? Can you extract files ?

Thank you @bluedandelion for your comment :smile: Sorry for the toothpaste bug, that's strange :hushed:

Thanks @kiyoshi for your nice comment, i'm happy you enjoyed the game :smile:

Thank you @fabula-rasa ! I'm happy to know that the atmosphere i wanted to create worked with you :smile:

natano 2023-10-08 16:51

I loved the way this game is relaxing. I could solve these puzzles for hours! It's easy to play and the music makes you feel all the atmosphere of the game :)

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-09 17:59

Thank you @natano :smile: Next time we will try to make more puzzles to satisfy you! :wink:

joshedev 2023-10-19 02:11

This is such a fun idea! I love the clever ways the items are shaped to make the puzzles more challenging, and how each micro level is themed around a piece of furniture in the larger house. It comes together to form a satisfying and relaxing game imo. I did run into one bug where I couldn't remove an item of furniture in the house, but other than that it was a lot of fun! Great work!

maria-pleshko 2023-10-21 12:00

I could play this game for hours, the developers did their best, cool name of the game by the way

flying-butter-studio 2023-10-22 19:09

Thank you @joshedev for your comment. I apologize for the bug you found but i'm happy your enjoyed the game and our micro-levels concept, thank you! :smile:

Happy to know you had a good time playing our game @maria-pleshko :heart: We do our best each time to offer a nice experience :smile: And thank you for the name :wink:
