I think this is a bug. It's been stuck like this, with the cursors moving in the white area. Captura de pantalla 2025-10-06 231550.png

@baluj, you can click on the words to start thinking about them, which will allow you to do other things in the game

amazing entry! really enjoyed all about it - from the concept, to the humorous "speech" sounds, and the beautiful music that gets put into the spotlight at the end scene <3

All 5 by me. Fun, fresh and original. Best job for me so far <3

Good work, unique concept. Take's a little to grasp it but worked fine afterwards. Good job

Amazing, amazing game. I quickly understood the game mechanic, and it was fun juggling your abilities in the right way to solve the "puzzles". My only confusion was when I had to use the mouse to aim my throws.

"Collect your thoughts" is a great take on the theme, and the atmosphere in the game fits perfectly.

Nice isometric graphics, wonderful music, and a clever ending.

Fantastic job, everyone!

Wow, amazing concepеt! It reveals the topic from an unexpected angle, which is really cool. The ambient sound works great. It’d be nice to have a “Think” menu on the right mouse button🙏

Great game and concept, I liked switching out the different words to have the abilities. The only thing that I didn't enjoy so much was the squelching noises but good game overall, well done!

It's original, has a great ambiance setup by visuals and audio, and is a great take on the theme. It was fun to go through rooms using every ability, and being able to "cheat" using multiple abilities together

I found that the looping sounds played when you move are way too present, and broke immersion for me

Also I felt like using the key "T" instead of a key closer to the left hand to open/close the thoughts broke the flow of the game, but I can guess that you wanted T for Thoughts, and that's a valid choice

Other than that, great entry!

Loved the music and the ending. I thought jumping was a little wonky, but then I got better at it and now I think maybe I just need to get good? Full marks for the concept.

Really cool concept! Not sure if you're supposed to be able to cheese the second "Gotta Go Fast" route but I just jumped over it. Also I got stuck in the timed doors :(

Music is really peaceful, as is the distorting shader thing and Animal-Crossing style brain voices, overall very clean submission

A fun and complete puzzle game package!

I enjoyed the central mechanic of juggling the different actions you were able to do... I'd bet some really clever puzzles could be built around that idea. Also, I've never seen a puzzle game with quite the same idea, which is always a plus. Nicely done!

Pretty cool really smooth feel.

Man this one is so good, I loved the main mechanic so much, although I would have loved to see some puzzles were I needed to keep changing my 4 current actions to succeed (and it would be really funny having to give up on seeing for that!). Really loved the audio as well. Great job!

Very fun and atmospheric game, I really liked the 3D isometric view and the mumbling sounds when someone talked. Great job!

picttarge 2025-10-18 14:30

This is really well put together, what a great entry, and a clever ending too!

Great idea and good execution. You should add "mouse to aim" somewhere in your instructions, I only read that in another comment. I got stuck inside a tall block once when a timer expired and had to restart. Gameplay is unique and fun, the game looks nice and the music fits well.

Very cool concept! I loved the minimalistic artstyle! And cool take on the theme
