What a game-- really good job with all aspects! As a fan of games like this one I'm in awe :D

weefairyfabi 2024-10-08 14:29

@daybreaker Thank you so much! That is such a lovely comment :)

Amazing drawings, well executed!

magopian 2024-10-08 14:51

HAHAHA that's a funny one! Yeah, let's fish in silence, please, PLEASE pixies, just stfu :P I love the hand drawn graphics, very impressive! Had some troubles with the hidden room, that needs you to be very precise and quick with the mouse, but I managed it after some time!

Thanks for that marvelous experience, really enjoyed it!

Very cozy and fun atmosphere! Feels like 'Stanley Parable' when the pixies comment on everything I do and I like the banter between them. Art and sound are top-notch and everything is very well put together!

One note: Fullscreen breaks the layout completely if you are on an ultrawide display - so probably not recommended for that case.

So cute!!! very pretty and sounded good and this is the first game where I actually don't mind the reading aspect. Well done!!!

edali 2024-10-08 14:53

I really liked the game, the pixies were very funny and I liked picking the doors. Great job!

prussichger 2024-10-08 14:54

I really like these games that are stylized and drawn as simply as possible. It is clear that you decided to focus on the plot and it is really good! And with humor, I liked it!

lucy-z 2024-10-08 14:57

I really love this parchment-like texture. I think it’s very appealing!

Visually stunning composing and very creative on story telling! Little bit of instruction shows up when player get stuck would be great XD

douuggggg 2024-10-08 15:01

Beautiful art, a lovely interpretation of the theme! Funny writing, too :smile:

cassreads 2024-10-08 15:02

This was super cute! Great work! I had to play it multiple times because my curiosity just HAD to know what happened down the other paths! Very fun

little-crow-heart 2024-10-08 15:32

This is very beautiful and funny! <3 I really like book aesthetic and the two sassy narrators! I also think the knights wish is very valid and a much better choice than money or power ^^

kalbshack 2024-10-08 15:33

Not the point & click kind of guy, but really enjoyed the draws and the contrast of the little pixies. gj

inonesgraveded 2024-10-08 16:28

Beautiful art and music! Also, pixies make awesome duet

This is quite charming, reminiscent of an old fairy tale book. I also loved how the movement of that little box, from which the story is revealed, gradually shifts and displays segments of the scenery as the tale unfolds on the left side.

I believe a few issues I've experienced here are related to the lack of clarity in highlighting elements—at least for me. The design often features a uniform tone, making it challenging to discern when interaction is required. For instance, that part where you're supposed to click on the book at the very beginning took me a while to notice. It wasn't immediately clear that this was a standout element within that scene.

At another moment here, it seems like it froze because when I click on anything, nothing happens. I'm not sure if I did something wrong. It was right in this scene. 🤔

The music and visuals are especially attractive! I also really liked the unusual gameplay and the ability to replay the game several times!

bobap 2024-10-08 17:48

The pacing and dialogue is great. The vibe is super chill. The art is stunning. Overall a fantastic experience.

kirass 2024-10-08 18:16

Cool game idea! I liked it! Good job!

vipaka 2024-10-08 18:34

The audio, both music and sound effects, was spot on for this game! The art style was unique and the story was certainly entertaining! Nicely done.

kanity 2024-10-08 21:21

Ahh that was adorable!! Loved the whole experience from start to finish. Your art is gorgeous as ever but just keeps getting better +_+ It really did feel so pretty and ~magical~ and SO well done for only 3 days, beautiful game ^v^ I guess my wish was having my own fishing tower??? That really does feel like a dream come true! :D

sockenpuppe 2024-10-08 23:00

One of my favourite entries. The art is absolutely beautiful! And the music makes it all feel really magical.

The hidden room posed quite a challenge bc the spirit was very fast sometimes.

Really liked that the witch has a comment about playing it again. (If I had the choice between giving her a call or climbing the tower again solving puzzles, I'd choose the tower. Without hesitation!)

rufenerd 2024-10-08 23:03

So beautiful! And I liked the intuitive controls.

vary 2024-10-09 01:56

aw this is wonderful, love the art style and the audio, really nails the fairy tale vibe!

weefairyfabi 2024-10-09 08:13

@cassreads Thank you so much!! I am so glad that the game evoked enough curiosity to warrant a second play!

@douuggggg Thank you!! I am glad you liked out theme interpretation, we do tend to veer into weird ideas haha

@yue-zhang Thank you so much for the kind words and the feedback! I totally get what you mean

@lucy-z Thank youu!

@prussichger Thank you so much! I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the plot, it is definitely a balance I am trying to strike between art, writing, and the time limit :)

@edali Thank you so so much!

@rincat Oh my god thank you so much, I feel like this is the highest of compliments :)

emilie-bleuciel 2024-10-09 12:14

Love the music and sound design! Good job :)

liliebagage 2024-10-09 21:35

Oh my, what a marvel! I'm a huge fan of interactive fiction, and I'm so happy to have found one of this quality in this jam! Your writing style is perfect for the story being told, the interplay between the pixies is very funny, I tested all the branchings (i think?) and saw the 2nd ending (are there any others?) after the second run. I had no idea that Twine could be integrated with Unity (I knew about the bridges between Ink and Unity, but that's all). Congrats for your graphics (I'd have liked them to be a little less sketchy at times, but I understand that gamejam time doesn't help). The music is discreet and in keeping with the universe. A huge bravo to you!

demiclod 2024-10-10 00:12

Super duper cute! Love simple but charming art art style, but I think my favorite thing about the game is the music. It's so whimsical! I like the ending too haha. Great work!

andreia 2024-10-10 00:38

The game is absolutely beautiful, the audio works really well and the text is really engaging. The mini games throughout the narrative were a great change of pace. Really impressive and polished for a game jam. Great work!

euler-moises 2024-10-12 13:30

The art is very beautiful. I love handmade drawings. This children's book aspect is very sweet and beautiful. Strokes and music combine very well in this innocent atmosphere.

The story is very funny and lives up to a children's book. As a game it works well and is the essential for a jam game in my opinion. Short, clear and polished.

Congratulations for the game.

danila-lihotin 2024-10-17 10:42

Fell in love with the minimalistic and attractive graphics of the game, very talentedly done. Quite a pleasant and relaxing quest, a wonderful result achieved in such a short time

dianavi 2024-10-17 21:13

It's such a enchanting atmosphere, thank you for this poetic pause

kobato-games 2024-10-17 23:44

Really clever immersive story and the pixies were very witty. The only part I had an issue with was the dust might game. It might have been okay if I were using a touchscreen or mouse as opposed to a laptop touchpad, but it felt like I was dragging my cursor all over the place, but they were always moving faster. I had to take a break and come back to finish.

weirdbitgames 2024-10-18 15:39

This game is beautiful! ANd I don';t just me all of the lovely sketches, but from the music and atmosphere to the story and even the pixie's speech sounds! This reminds me of Undertale in terms of bizarre story and humour. I don't think I've ever seen a game that I would rate highly on both mood AND humour, but here we are! I could stay in this world and play this game for hours! Please continue this project and release it in full!

vidarn 2024-10-21 12:00

Adorable and cute! I liked being able to play through it multiple times and take different paths. The world you've created is very enjoyable and cozy. The art and the writing are super nice, and I love how there are slight animations to everything, it really makes the pictures come alive.

emmagsmith 2024-10-24 04:32

Witch is just like me fr
