hmmmmmmm hmm great sounds and art gave a good atmosphere.
I loved the enigma with those dragonfly mood
Really cute narrative-puzzle game, great job ! :smiley:
Reminds me games i played when i was a child ^^ (oncle ernest saga :thumbsup: )
I found the level with the yellow bugs a bit challenging at first, but once I recognized the pattern, everything became clear. The level featuring sounds was somewhat confusing, the overlapping sounds made it difficult to focus while I clicked on each one. It would be helpful to have the option to mute the previous sound if I choose to listen to another one temporarily. Overall, it’s a fantastic narrative puzzle game!
Art and ambiance are pinpoint, I really enjoyed the little puzzles and I surprisingly found myself stuck for some minutes on the pattern beetles :D Congratulations that's a really sweet game <3
What a lovely game <3 The design are beautiful and I really liked the atmosphere. Thanks for that and bravo!
Really nice game with a good ambiance ! I also struggled with the beetles but otherwise it was interesting! Good job !
I love it! I really liked that it even had some kind of take-away message at the end. The whole story could've been build around that (earlier hints on what the main character is missing or what she needs to be remembered of).
Oh so happy to find this kind of treasure. It's good on so many levels! Great job
My favorite game so far—simply fantastic. There were a few puzzles where I got a bit stuck, took me a little while to get through them, but it was so worth it for the art and storytelling. Everything is subtle yet very powerful and really well-executed.
I must admit, this sentence here truly left a lasting impression on me. 😊 Screenshot 2024-10-08 143148.png
Some observations I would add to this are that I found the sound to be quite low, particularly the music during the opening and closing cutscenes. It's a shame because the music is genuinely good. Perhaps it could be turned up a bit? I'm not sure if it's just me, but it seems quieter compared to other sounds here.
In the second puzzle, it was also challenging to figure out which horn belonged to which box, as there were more than one that looked quite similar. I believe there were two horns that resembled an "S" and two more that looked like a "5," or something along those lines.
In the dragonfly puzzle, it was the first time I had to use the hints, and that's when I realized all I had to do was listen. You can actually hear the sound of the dragonflies—I hadn't picked up on that before. 🐉🎧
@avzgui thank youu! ohh I've looked up the game about oncle ernest, it looks so fun and cozy :)
@sashunyar thank you! yeahh yellow bugs turned out to be a bit harder than other levels, we'll look into that :) sorry about the sounds, we forgot to mention in the tutorial that if you take a creature and then place it back on the table, the sound should stop. it's really helpful that you've mentioned that!
Nice calming game. Great entry!
@velvetlobster thank you so much for your feedback! i am happy that you liked it :) regarding the sounds — yeah we struggled a bit to tune it as it was pretty much before the deadline...will fix it later, hopefully :) as for the horns, there are two types of them are that very similar on purpose, maybe that was too harsh, especially for the second puzzle! sorry about that :blush:
Brilliant and inventive matching puzzles, or at least I don't remember seeing anything like this before. As for production values, I thought there was a bigger team behind this, quite impressive achievement for two people. It was a pleasure to play this.
Really good use of the concept and incorporating that into a nice story. The puzzles had a good mix of difficulty and problem solving. Overall good feedback on the overall controls. It would be nice to be able to swap out objects with one another to avoid as much double clicking, but not really a major issue. Lovely atmosphere, overall great entry.
That was a good experience, Thank you. Very polished game, love the DA and the puzzle.
i got stuck at the bettles puzzle. can someone tell me what to do with it?
Nice game, with very interesting puzzles and a nice narrative!
Fantastic game with incredibly strong storytelling, art and atmosphere. The whole box concept is so charming to me, and extremely well executed. The puzzles aren't that easy, but extended my playtime to a relaxing 10 minutes, and were therefore well balanced (at least for me). I also appreciate the amount of polish that went into the game, basically everything has a feedback sound, which makes everything feel coherent. Some slight scaling punch or similar upon pickup/release would be nice, but the animation upon completing a puzzle is just top notch ^^. A really artistic entry with simple, yet effective storytelling, great job!
Lovely narrative and artwork!
That was very touching. The beetles puzzle was clever!
Hey @royur! Thanks for playing our game! To solve beetles puzzle you need to place beetles in the spots that will fit with the patterns on their backs. Patterns won't be repeated 1-1, but you will see that beetle fits there.
Impressive art :)
this one was polished pretty well and its unbelievable that it was made in 3 days...you did a fantastic job!
i enjoyed the game and its story a lot!
Really fun game:DD polished quite well, the intro in the beginning of the game was cute, great art :DD also love the animation when solving the puzzle was soo smooth, greatjob!! :D
Such a simple concept but such a solid execution! This felt so polished between the intro segment, the swooping transition into the game, and the cute story. Great puzzle game!
Honestly a complete experience, it was the perfect difficulty and such a vibe. Amazing work!
Even i don't like this type of games, this one felt amazing. Cool representation, on the other hand it's not that small for 3 days, art is beautiful and the story is cool. I would agree with the theme as well. beautiful game, great job guys image_2024-10-13_090441800.png
Guys, I'm thrilled! I really love the visual aspect. My compliments to the artist. I liked your attention to detail— every action, even when placing the insects in their designated spots, is accompanied by sounds. Speaking of which, you picked them perfectly. Immersion in the game's atmosphere is guaranteed. Well done!
Interesting take on the topic. I really much liked the art and atmosphere. It was relaxing to play, even though I struggled a bit with the bugs. All in all I enjoyed playing.
Very comforting ambiance, loved the puzzles. Thanks for the game.
Impressive to have a cohesive experience completed by the end of the jam! Particularly enjoyed the painted art, and the gradual increase in difficulty of the puzzles felt on-point.
Thought that the music could be a little louder - I realize it's atmospheric, and you don't want it to drown out the later sounds, but I found it a bit distracting, kind of straining myself to hear it.
I would have preferred to be able to drag the bugs out of the box instead of having to right-click on them - I found myself doing that, even knowing better, because it felt more intuitive to me.
I like the game with such interactivity
I like the vibe and cutscreens are soooo goood!!!!
