This is fantastic. I thought it was a good game but when I realized that there's multiple puzzles that took it up a notch. Are the puzzles procedurally generated? It's got a lot of character to the game. I played through 3 rounds and it took me longer than I would like to admit. Great job!

One thing of note though is there seems to be a bug coming out of dialog where runners can get stuck on top of each other and can't be moved after that. Capture.PNG

@jimmothysanchez thanks for the review! Yes, the puzzles are procedurally generated. Our programmer, Billy, is a logic wizard. We're working on some bug fixes today so come back and play it again soon. :rocket:

Wow, this is really special. The art and sound really matched well, it felt great. Clear gameplay, I immediately knew what to do and started sorting. This was an awesome time!

Had fun trying to figure this out. Nice job

I don't get how a simple game can be this addictive and fun to play. It reminded me of those arrangement questions I used to have on my reasoning olympiad LOL. Really enjoyed playing it. BGM and the different sounds for all characters was a fire move. Great job!

Yayyyy i got them all correct!

Love the idea of the game, and impressive on the how the puzzle generation works, that sounds to me like a puzzle to set up on his own! Great game!

Chill music and quite the brain bender. Other than A bug that makes you unable to grab a character if you cut them off while they're talking this is a pretty polished and cute puzzle game! I really liked the voices of the characters (Casey specifically)

This is indeed a very nice puzzle. Took a fair bit to figure out. Love that everyone has their own style of communications ;)

It's very impressive that the puzzle is procedurally generated. I don't regret the time I spent on solving it)

Wow really cool one! I really loved the design of the character and the fact that characters have unique voice. I was schocked to see it was procedurally generated! fantastic job here

Great procedurally generated puzzle! I really enjoyed this game. Art and audio are amazing. Loved it.

It's a fun logic game, although at first I didn't really understand what to do.

wisstopher 2025-04-11 21:54

Really cool idea with slick execution. Such a good entry, well done!

delphin-casado 2025-04-13 16:01

Yay, I love logic games like this! The visual presentation is very clean, the chara designs are really nice, and the musical ambience is great (the little voice sounds add a lot of characterization!) Bravo to the team!

I was impressed there are multiple puzzles! Definitely find a way to indicate that. A couple improvements might have been letting us skip ahead to see the full text rather than having to wait for it to all appear, and also having the puzzles ramp up in difficulty.

The most fun and zany character designs!! Such a great idea for a jam game, everything from the art to the presentation to the core mechanic is elegant and comprehensibly designed and fuuuun :)
