Amazing game. I loved the art and the writing and how gameplay and story intertwine. It reminds me of those alchemy games, but your game is much more immersive. Sometimes it was a little bit hard to figure out the logic behind the rune combinations, but it fits perfectly with an esoteric theme. Music and sounds are great, too! Could easily see this being turned out into a full game (and would definetely buy it).
I loved the idea of mixing a racing game and a roguelike? And your take on sumonning was cool (SUMONNING PARTS OF A RACING TRACK?). Like!
loved moody visuals
Loved the idea of sumonning creatures the way you call for stratagems in helldivers. And the mood is very nice!
Loved the vibe of the dark coven with a huge bloody heart in the center. The art is great and typing idea is super cool
Great game, love the murder mystery aspect of it and how you played with the theme. Can see how it easily can be expanded and would love to play more.
Loved the vibe, visuals and the overall tripiness of the game.
I adore PICO-8 games and this one was just a perfect small arcade game. Absolutely loved this one. Didn't quite get why do I summon lost dwarves but who cares.
Great game. Was a little bit hard to figure out the rules for me, but I loved the art style and the level of polish is impressive!
I had to spend some time to figure out controls, but I love the idea of turning an idle game into a somewhat rpg-like expirience where you travel between locations and influence the world to reach your ultimate goal.
Loved your idea and the tactile gameplay!
Loved the idea and art. Was a little bit hard to run between recordings and instruments, but overall a super cool take on a rhythm game!
Fun twist! And the bossfight is pretty hard!
It was hard for me to figure out controls, but I loved the idea and the mystery is fun to solve.
Beatiful entry. Minimal and stylish. And I loved the sound/rhythm game aspect of it. Kinda reminded me of Sword & Sworcery by Superbrothers for some reason.
~~Your base belongs to us. Thank you for playing.~~
Amazing art! I love WarioWare, and I think you nailed the vibe of the games. Awesome entry!
Congrats with 56th place in fun!!
Vibes!
Just awesome! Can easily see how it can be turned into a really cool roguelite.
Loved the mood and elegant design. Wonderful entry!
Screenshots are awesome, waiting patiently for a patch :boar:
Was a little bit hard for me to understand how to play and what different cats do, but when I overcame that initial fritcion ā oh my god. Fun to tinker with the mechanics. Visual style ā BONKERS. Vibes are off the charts. One of my favourite entries so far. Fantastic job!!!
@cananaman thank you so much!! genuinely rooting for you too
Love your art and the level of polish. Amazing result for a 3 game jam!
Very cute game!!!!
Great job!! Feels like a perfect IO game.
Great idea, amazing art. Loved your game!
Loved the aesthetics (the animation of freezing water is my favourite!) and the general idea. I think it can be easily turned into a full game. And the level of polish is great. The controls were not always intuitive, but I think it's totally ok for a jam game. Great job!!
was hard to understand what different things do, but loved the idea
@ashley-gb Thank you so much! There are clues, but they are intentionally obscure, so it's hard to find everyone on the first try (but it's possible). We hope the game will be fun to replay at least once, knowing some information from the first run.
@jsmgames here's our artist! https://twitter.com/joyfulmuraena (we'll make a proper credits section a little bit later)

Thank you all for taking the time to write kind words! Such comments make all the effort worth it.
Amazing game! Was laughing out loud more times than I can count. Loved the art, the writing, and the idea! Definitely going to check out your games on itch.
Awesome entry! Great graphics, character controller, and overall level of polish. Itās like A Short Hike, but a Short Flight...
I loved that you canāt actually crash and just pass through geometry (or was that a bug?). Either way, itās a smart decision for a jam game. You avoided the need to build additional systems and supported the chill vibes perfectly.
Absolutely awesome. Very solid mechanics, figuring out hore everything works is super fun!
Level of polish is absolutely crazy. And there is even narrative bits on the radio??? And a tutorial??
Would defenitely play some more in my free time.
Top notch banger entry!!!
Borderline genius - one of my favourite entries so far.
A very cool spin on an incremental game (with a kind of narrative goal?). And the signal reflection mechanic is perfect. Vibing very hard with this one.
Very polished, beautiful art and music. Loved how the story is presented: minimal sprites and icons, just a couple of lines, but everyone is full of character, so itās easy to remember whoās who after a run or two. Loved how time passes and you have a limited number of photos to take, creates a great sense of tension.
Wonderful entry. If thereās any justice in this world, you should score really high!
Honestly, I feel like I scammed someone because I got to play it for free (Iād love to see it on something like Playdate).
Great little twine adventure game, had fun playing through it!
Wonderful entry.
Loved the story and how you played around with the theme. Very cool idea that the mini-games become increasingly harder as the distance between the characters grows bigger.
And the ending ššš
Guys, we are fixing the game and preparing a proper web version! Sorry, it's a bit unplayable right now, but we're working on it!!
@reimi thank you so much!
working on it, it will be ready today
(def checking your game out after we finish fixing ours, looks fantastic)
@j3m Thank you! I think it would help if you could rewind and change speed of the dialogues, but jam is a jam!
@3blackpixels Thank you! You can pause the game anytime by pressing **spacebar** (hope it helps a little)
@nozomu57 Thank you so much!
Your comment means a lot to me personally. Iāve been following your gamedev journey from afar for quite some time already and love your stuff.
*Somebody mentioned the mechanicsš-Iām crying game designer tears.*
Our entry was greatly overscoped, so we had to limit replies to just one symbol.
Didn't know your team also participated, will definetely check out your entry tomorrow!
@xiao-duye @tykki19 Hey!
Resolution scaling in the web version is now fixed. Weād really appreciate it if you gave our game another go!
@rayhimmel Thank you so much! But honestly thereās so much good stuff on LD59 - a ton of genuinely amazing entries this year.
Cool idea for an arcade game! I like how echolocation works and helps you "predict" obstacles and collectibles in a classic arcade experience.
Loved the atmosphere and soundtrack!
Awesome. Loved how fleshed out the world is and the level design. Feels like a complete small game. And the ending!! With a cutscene!
Great entry.
The game is pretty hard, but I loved the idea, aesthetics, and mechanics. Wonderful entry!
Great entry! Took some time to understand what's happening and how to play, but got it eventually and had fun. Graphics and music are crazy good!
Walked through the forest, met some strange animals and saw The End.
Big vibe.
