Oh, I'm very interested in this topic! Can you remind me when you upload the game, please?

gwethelynn 2024-04-15 08:24

With pleasure!

mmm1008fm 2024-04-15 15:52

I like this game, kinda simple and cool

andrewkennedy 2024-04-15 18:51

It doesn't look like the game has been uploaded, was this intentional?

gwethelynn 2024-04-15 22:18

We created the page early on, the game will be uploaded soon. Thank you for investigating the issue, we hope you play once we publish ;)

locksmitharmy 2024-04-15 23:58

Simple, cute... what more could you want, great idea.

gwethelynn 2024-04-16 00:36

@mmm1008fm @locksmitharmy The game is not published yet, how can you tell? :laughing:

mmm1008fm 2024-04-16 00:39

the idea we meant i guess))

locksmitharmy 2024-04-16 00:43

yes lol the idea is simple and cute. I am excited to play :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Congrats on the submission. The matching star is fun and the object are very well crafted. There could be a feedback when you make an invalid placement

gwethelynn 2024-04-16 01:22

@prcastro Thank you for your comment! Yeah, we lacked time for that unfortunately, but we'll add it post-jam :sweat_smile:

gwethelynn 2024-04-16 01:23

@liu-pa-yueh The game is up if you'd like to check it out :wink: No cats here, but I hope you still like it!

viirta 2024-04-16 07:51

Hey, nice work! I really like your gameplay and the game feel in this game. Cheers!

kuggenhoffen 2024-04-17 09:14

Interesting game and clever idea. I couldn't figure out the third instructions though so didn't finish my familiar...

gwethelynn 2024-04-17 09:52

@kuggenhoffen Thank you for playing our game! The third level is the hardest indeed, we'd like to adjust that in the future!

Here is a solution (you can put whichever feather you prefer) if you'd like to give a new try ;) soluce niveau 3.PNG

Loved it! The art is amazing, the writing is adorable, and it is such a cute and fun concept. Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the 3rd, seems there was some [kind of snapping issue](https://drive.google.com/file/d/18NWKnkTwZVNoZ-UU2RKAUmnxrMjGHABO/view?usp=drive_link)?

But I had a lovely time with it nonetheless, and am flabbergasted by high quality of a product you were able to produce so quickly! Branching dialogue, dynamic layouts, extra items to add to the challenge and flesh out the world - fantastic job!

gwethelynn 2024-04-17 21:24

@ugly-robot :cry: Thank you for your lovely and thorough review!!

We've just done some bug fixing that should allow you to complete the game if you'd like to give a new try.

PS: Your game was beautiful.

ugly-robot 2024-04-17 21:48

@gwethelynn wow! Thank you for the fast response! After reloading, I think I'm seeing the items from the previous rounds remaining on the board (unless that is intended? - perhaps it doesn't matter either way, just wanted to give you a heads up incase it was unintentionally introduced during the bugfix) too-many-items.png

And PS thank you, haha, I could never hope to produce art as polished as what you have here - but I appreciate the kind words ^,^

gwethelynn 2024-04-18 10:06

@ugly-robot That is intended! The riddles were written with that intention but we had a last minute problem so launched the game with the bug.

PS: come on, your designs are super cute! Even William is, and he's a flayed skull!

vantalogic 2024-04-18 15:38

Really fun game. That third puzzle is really tricky!

isayneigh 2024-04-18 16:22

A fun game. Loved the dialog and the creativity necessary on the players part. I especially loved the art style, I hope to make something that looks to this level of doneness in the future. Great job!

jb106 2024-04-18 18:28

Nice and cute little game ! We got stuck on level 3 haha

anifan-gelati 2024-04-18 23:41

I love cats. Do you have cats in your game? Then it's already good)

aivaxela 2024-04-19 02:23

Love the puzzle aspect here, had a lot of fun trying to figure out the combinations!

gwethelynn 2024-04-19 11:56

@anifan-gelati The summons mainly have elements of squirrels, dragon and peacock. The player's avatar is a cat though! ;)

baluj 2024-04-19 13:39

It's an interesting concept, I've had a good time playing it and seeing the result of the combination I made. Good job!

roitchie 2024-04-19 17:07

Very cute entry. I love the magic theme and music. The hints were just right. Not too obvious but not so vague as to be frustrating. The text options were quite funny too. Didn't experience any bugs so from my end it was all good. A great polished entry. Well done!

norah 2024-04-19 17:24

Nice game ! I was happy I managed to go the end (and summoned my familiar !) despite the fact that I'm not a native english speaker. :laughing: Congrats :clap:

pacelin 2024-04-19 20:37

Nice game, but I don't know what to do

frederikja163 2024-04-19 20:37

I sadly couldnt get the game to work besides placing the first items in their designated spots. Maybe i did something wrong? I tried clicking the chalk and nothing happened. But from the pictures i think i get what this game is about, the art is cool and it seems like a neat little experience. Nice job

isacb 2024-04-19 20:54

Such a cute game! I loved the artstyle and the concept of summoning your familiar! Such a cool thing to have the items you place be a factor in how your familiar will look. Really well done!

tetracold 2024-04-20 08:23

Super cute game! the cat designs designs are adorable

I also really enjoyed the idea of creating your familiar based on the objects you choose, gives me an extra reason to replay it

good entry!

koboldskeep 2024-04-20 16:30

Cute puzzle game. Kinda difficult to figure out what some of the items are. Would be nice to have some kind of hint system.

alaah 2024-04-25 20:51

Nice and cute. Took me longer than it should have because I didn't realize the objects had to be placed on the moon symbols. A more liberal snap would have come a long way.

justking144 2024-04-29 07:44

Love the riddles and the cute design of the character and the conversations!

abcdef65g 2024-05-01 09:45

Cute game! Some of the riddles were a bit tricky to figure out, but thankfully there is no harm in making small mistakes. It's cool to see the familiar you summon, even when you end up with a weird combination! I rather like the art style and the graphics are charming. The conversations were enjoyable too. I just don't get the point of the QTE, was it to give it a small extra challenge?

Great job!
