I'm glad I could help you with some issues you were having with the game (it took 42 minutes rather than 5 :p!).

I really love your concept, the effects you've created are just beautiful! Especially considering you had so little time to do it.

Nice mood. But it is hart to read this font if you're not English speaker.

The game has a cozy feel—a strong character and a pleasant, minimalist environment create a sense of calm.

I'm a sucker for artsy games, and this one scratches the itch well enough. I really like the concept of coloring a black-and-white world while uncovering memories. That said, I think it could benefit from more inner conflict and emotional depth to truly land. For example: I looked at the suitcase or the painting — but was the memory powerful enough? Why had I forgotten it in the first place?

Overall, it’s a great concept that might just need a bit more refinement. I really admire your determination to bring something soulful into the world - and thank you for that! Also, the sound design does a wonderful job of setting the right mood.

@bereg Thank you very much for your comment, indeed something is missing, I agree. I was only able to work on it for 1 day and I sped things up a bit, but I plan to refine the game more outside of Ludumdar. But really thank you for your message, it means a lot to me.

Very good for a one-day game! Love the concept and graphics. The only thing I noticed is that after the item gets colour it draws on top of the environment. Not sure if that was intended.

Flying fish is super cute.

@tardis2snej Thank you very much for your feedback. There are indeed rendering problems when I "render" the color. I didn't have time to fix it, but I think it gives a nice little effect.

The world gaining color is a great effect and I think you used it well. Bravo!

Not a lot more to say than what has already been said. Fantastic result for one day, and the first time I realized the color change I thought "Wow, that's a cool idea!". Any plans to keep building on this idea in the future?

Great concept, love the colors appearing progressively. Really great mood with the chill atmosphere. Could use a locked and hidden cursor but it's still cool!

I like the vibe! One tiny suggestion is that the font is elegant but a bit hard to read.

wewrutuwertrer 2025-10-08 15:55 ♥ 1

Character movement feels really nice and little fishes are absolutely adorable :)

I like the floating fish.

Wow absolutely amazing game, it reminds me of a childrens book I used to love as a kid where the mole stole all the colors and all the animals became depressed and at the end they managed to convince him to let the colors out again. I love these artsy style of games and this one was amazing. The only thing I found very weird and confusing were the controls, however insanely nice game and good job. Also fits the theme in a very unique way which I escpecially love.

incredible graphics!

I very enjoy strolling around the gray space,finding a poem of story,and fitting it together like a pieces of puzzle...the only problem for non-native speaker is font, it's hard to distinguish between"N" and "R",but it kind of interesting for me to guss some handwritten word.So absolutely nice atmosphere and good job!
