I am stuck in writing the code. I am unable to press Enter/Cancel. Only with the right code you can exit the screen. After getting the code right, I walked through the door, but nothing happened and I was unable to move. Was there more to it?
The graphics and animations are really nice! But the lack of sounds is really depressing.
I see potential here, but the bugs prevented me to of playing or enjoying the game.
I like the way it looks. Stylish!
I couldn't enter the code. The game looks incredibly beautiful, but it lacks sounds and ambient. There is also a feeling that the game's colliders are a little off.
The visuals are quite good). I opened the door using the code, but when I moved further, nothing happened(. But overall, good job
this is really promising. love the art style too
Great visuals! actually amazing graphics, it looks really cool. No audio tho... i could have helped. i did enter the code but wasnt able to go futher unfortunately (i suppose with that style the scope of the game becomes quite large very easily). good work!
wonderful art i love it
First thing I did when I got control over the character was walk left and fall out of screen and had to restart the game. Maybe I missed something though? lol
Either way, amazing art and cool music, definitely great potential here.
It's a shame that it's so short, wish it would last longer! Also gravity gun mechanic is fascinating!
i think the sound and art stile ia awesome. game play are really interesting. good job
Good job! The graphics are solid, the parallax backgrounds are composed perfectly, all the animations are good. The beginning is a bit drawn out, there is no button to scroll through the cutscenes and the transitions between levels are also quite long. The puzzles are great, the tutorial gave enough information to sit and think, but at the same time not to rack your brains. There was not enough interaction on the 3rd level, perhaps it would be worth adding more places with electricity.
The work itself is solid, the music perfectly suits the atmosphere, the text is written beautifully - it is pleasant to read! The work is super!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very moody! I liked it :D I typically don't like "story games" in a game jam, but this wasn't too wordy and I manage to reach the heart in the end!
My biggest issue is lack of feedback with what is interactable. I think the press E is super to have there, but I think more is needed. In the first level it took me a while to realize the button on the shelf wasn't some books. And I didn't understand that the ladder was a ladder (I thought it was just some background art showing how much you rotated the cogwheel). I think it would be good with maybe a thick outline on every thing that's not just environment art. So that would be the walkable ground (only really needed in third level, but for consistency), the cog wheel, ladder, the puzzle panel in the second level etc. Same goes with the sliding puzzle. I didn't understand I was looking at a sliding puzzle at first, but if I had some indicator when hovering over a movable piece I would have gotten it a lot quicker. Oh yeah and on the x-button in the puzzle screen ( @martta ). I think also a nice "click" would be great when solving the cogwheel.
I also had a hard time figuring out that you needed to keep boxes/balls in radius of the player. This goes together with my precious point, but in the first level I thought that the box was colliding with the pillars, and I tried to get in though the gap in the environment art above it. Maybe it would be better if you'd just drop what you holding if you drag it out of the radius, I think I would have realized what was going on quicker then.
Some smaller points here, but I really think the intro should swap pictures on click instead of a timer. I tried walking to the left in the first level before realizing that the button was a button, and got stuck outside the map. So I needed to start over, and the intro was quite annoying then. Also, I think a language puzzle is a lil bit dangerous in a global game jam. Anagrams if you don't speak English well can be hard, and it took me a little time to get the answer just because I couldn't write "Technician" instead of "Technic". I must say that having the T capitalized was really good design though.
Please don't take this feedback as criticism, over all I think it was a nice game and a nice change of pace from some of the other ones. You did a great job! :D
nice game visuals 10/10
Really good project. Amazing visual style! Its look so great, respect to all artists! Good vibe and sound design
perfect!!!
Great visuals, but everything else was broken for me. The box barely made it to the button and then fell off. I don't know if it's a collider problem. In the very first location I decided to walk backwards from the skeleton and my character just disappeared. I did not understand where to look for the code.
@bjornstenlund
Thank you for your feedback!!! It's quite detailed, and we agree with some points ourselves, but we were rather limited in our capabilities due to our lack of experience, so there are still mistakes. Regarding cut scenes, you can skip them by pressing enter.
Арты - шикарные. Визуал - огонь. Музыка подобрана грамотно из-за чего появляется ощущение полного погружения в игру. Концепция нестандартная, очень зашло. Игрушка вышла мега атмосферной и красивой.
I am a big fan of Sally Face game. That's why I like this type of game. It's great that there are puzzles and interactive objects here. The card has a separate respect, very good. If you had decided to develop this game further, I would have been one of the first to play.
@karenchik Yes of course, and once again you did fine! Oh okay silly I missed that :P
@f13 I'm also a big fan of Sally Face!!! I'm glad that this fandom is still remembered. Thank you for your feedback!!!
This game is so beautiful! I really enjoy the style and the concept. The box was not behaving quite right, but I'm wondering if maybe my computer wasn't running it well in the browser? I hope you continue working on this, though. I'd definitely come back to play it!
@machetemami
Thanks for your comment!!! As for the box, it sometimes lags on some devices, I have a weak laptop, unfortunately, this problem happens on it from time to time.
Nice game! The artwork is deliciously vibrant!! I love it <333
Loved the art in this game! The starting intro / cutscene adds a lot to the storytelling. I got a bit stuck on the clues, maybe an in-game hint button could help? Still, great game!
i absolutely adore this game. I love the scratchy art style, the foreground overlays to make the room look cluttered, the colour scheme, the simple yet interesting story, the sound design, everything!! i forgot how much i loved a good puzzle game like this. The only thing is that the writing was a bit confusing or hard to understand at times, but it doesn't bother me much ^^
Really nicely done narrative game. Though its pretty simple for my tastes, (though i had to use your tip for the code xd). This could be right kind of difficulty for a non gamer in its simple mechanic.
The art is really nicely done with so many details. But so much detail lead to me having to look up sometime for the first button and was initially wondering was something just broken (happens with jam games).
I kinda liked the long transition in the "elevator" but it was missing somekind of visual, would have made it 10x nicer.
Nicely done keeping the style well cohesive with so many people working on it.
The combination of visuals, sound, and atmosphere is very well done. The design of having a limited range of controllable objects has great potential. In the gear level, I thought the gear to the right of the button was interactive — it would be even better if there is a clearer visual distinction.
Игра прикольная, нарисовано круто, но не рассчитана на людей с английским а1 и двумя извилинами, над первой загадкой сидел 2 дня.
Игра реальная кайфология, я залип
Guys, this is a really cool game. Art is just a space for a platformer. The gameplay is also good. There are shortcomings, but within the deadline it's a delight
Wow, the artwork is incredible!! I love PaC games!!
Incredibly beautiful and interesting game!!
The art is well polished, and the mood and music/sfx is really great, it is artistic overall. Though I find the game difficult, never thought that it is "Technic" and the sliding cog puzzle is unintuitive for me at first. Beautiful, this can be expanded a lot.

Очень красиво нарисовано, но у меня вопрос - вот эту головоломку пройти можно? Просто у меня ничего не работает на ней. Это баг или фича?
А в остальном - молодцы, интересно было бы посмотреть полную версию ^_^
cool game
@xpoho Привет, спасибо за отзыва! По поводу головоломки она не работает только в том случае, если она открыта не на весь экран, мы уже пытались решить этот баг, но никак. Так же перемещение происходит просто по нажатию кнопки мыши, если ты пытаешься перетаскивать блоки, то это не будет работать.
@karenchik Понял, ну у меня что-то ни в полном экране, ни в окне не работает xD
Ничего страшного, буду ждать конечную версию с исправленными багами ^_^
I and many liked the visual style of the game, details and animations, very well done, as well as I really liked the idea of the game. what can I say about the gameplay, I think the range of control of objects is a little small, I would like to add it a little. During the passage of any problems did not arise, impressions are very good, I will wait for the update
Such creepy & beautiful illustrations! The graphics are *gorgeous*
