I appreciated that the minigames weren't overly difficult and I love the little fire guy. Overall delightful.

A very sweet game. It definitely felt easier than other puzzle games, more suited for kids. The color effects of the potions and the sound effects were great!
Super delightful and great use of graphics. Wasn't able to use rotation at all without the use of a mouse which was tough but overall a wonderful creation.
I definitely only have the skills to button mash here, would love to play a slower version where I could properly choose which spell was best for each enemy as more of a puzzle game. I also wish you could see what level you made it to when you died on adventure mode. Besides those issues, oh my god this game is rad. The graphics, the sound, the different spells, the number of enemies?? how did you do this in 72 hours??
Such a cool concept and choice for this theme and a game in general. The atmosphere was incredible and the dramatic build to the end was one of the best parts. Great job!
This is ADORABLE and so fun to play. I wish it was longer.
Absolutely wonderful. Fun puzzle mechanics, fun story and an interesting world to explore with great atmosphere. I am, however, completely stuck on the pink dots (did the first 3 puzzles that have them but no idea what the rule is since it's clearly not a set of adjacent squares given that's impossible in the 4th and 5th puzzles) so if anyone wants to give me a hint I would love to keep playing this game.
This is an incredibly well put together game. I loved the mood and the ability to convey story with just how things on the screen moved sometimes. So well done.
I am delighted. This is delightful. I wish there was so much more of this but the humor is spot on, it is intuitive and fun and easy to play again and again to see what happens if I tell Moses the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. I also learned that Joe Biden is not Batman. Useful information.
Such a wonderful game. The concept and execution are both wonderful, the ingredients and customers have so much character and it feels exciting without being overly stressful. The colors definitely didn't always match which made it confusing sometimes but overall the game was impressively cohesive and engaging.
I love the graphics, color palette and cohesive mood of the game and it does such a unique job of incorporating the theme. It never quite felt intuitive to me in terms of game play, I was definitely guessing most of the time but the game is absolutely adorable.
Really good. The mechanics worked very well and the news section was super fun. I also noticed the bug with the end of day display.
Really fun concept, reminds me of a game I used to play on neopets a long time ago. I have a lot of the same issues other people noticed. The delivery list is hard to read because of the thin black font on a dark background so that made things harder. Because the list was also random it would often have multiple numbers of the same thing so I had to create the same potion 5+ times. Sound effects and music would be a great addition, I also struggled to figure out what I was supposed to be doing in the begging so a tutorial would be a big help.
This was beautiful, I thought the tutorial was super well executed and the commands were intuitive. Loved the mood and the use of limited space.
This was super delightful, a quick and charming game
This was ENCHANTING. I played this so many times. The addition of more music (not sure if it was from the satellite?) was so charming and unexpected. The graphics, the music, the waves, figuring out the strategy, it all came together so beautifully.
Playing this from my vampire bedroom and I love itttt. It's so charming and funny and the illustrations are stunning.
I want to play this so bad! It looks amazing, unfortunately I can't get past the tutorial, no matter where I place mr. ghost "validate" does nothing.
@princesse-cornichon unfortunately it won't work even after restarting the whole computer. I'm playing on chrome.
This was delightful, Agree that it would be helpful to know better what the benchmarks are and I wish you didn't have to trash good stuff for new 1 point items but I get that that's part of the limited space. Overall, super fun and charming.
This was captivating. Really good and intuitive controls, fun puzzles, absolutely a great time and such a polished game for a jam.
@fupi this is ADORABLE thank you!! I am so delighted by this. And I'm glad you appreciate the FMV ridiculousness, it's a lot of fun to do.
This was so cool! I wish there was a little more info sometimes, especially on the last night it seemed really hard to figure out what the artist would want but I loved the reviews and the photos, the music was awesome and the bios and characters were so funny! Such an amazing job.
This was lovely and super fun and satisfying to play. Very polished for a jam, you did a wonderful job.
This was so cool. Felt super spooky and atmospheric (and the poor kitty cries!) and the way you played with light movement was so magical.
This is a lovely entry, even though the chess levels are tough for someone who doesn't know how to play. I love the different rules and the graphics.
This was beyond phenomenal. It's so gorgeous and moody and I really enjoyed it. I do wish there was strategy to the card game and I couldn't figure out how to get an ending with Karina where I don't just get killed but the whole thing was lovely.
This was super fun, I love that you could just throw all your stuff off your desk.
Super pretty and a great mood, got stuck pretty early on and had enemies blink out of existence on some levels which I'm not sure is supposed to happen.
Absolutely lovely, the perfect amount of tricky and great graphics.
32/40. Super neat little puzzle game, I really enjoyed it. I definitely wish there were more large rooms/the options to move multiples at once given the human rules, it made it pretty hard to have them anywhere but with each other or alone. I also think Dwarves were waaay hard since most others had 1 restriction and they essentially had 2 (no elves, nothing but dwarves below them) but continually moving them was a great challenge.
This was so well done. Super clean and fun and atmospheric. I didn't know it was counting moves or I would have made better decisions and I do think some of the middle puzzles were much harder than the last. Overall, awesome entry
This is so fantastic, the art and creativity is great and the challenges are definitely difficult and varied. Still working on beating them all but I thought this was excellent.
This was so neatly done and super fun to play. HARD though, it seems like having as much damage as possible was the only way forward rather than getting cool stuff because if you lose your only damage it's just over so I would have loved to play with the more complicated heads more. An excellent game!
This was super cute and well done!
This was super neat, not sure I understood the point of the kraken, it meant I had to do the entire second run with my vision all blurry which made it hard to pick the right gates which was a great challenge. Super well done.
This is super delightful and challenging. The aesthetics are so clean and cute and the premise is charming. Definitely too hard. I never got past 4 even once I had all the spices and keys and some of the recipes memorized. The most difficult thing for me was identifying the objects. With the hooves and spiders there's some time where the smoke is swirling so you don't know what they are, the spider's legs are very hard to count on some of them depending on the angle. It also took me forever to figure out that the types of animal referred to the pattern on the hoof and not the kind of leg that would pop up and I frequently had issue with tiger vs zebra. Overall super cool, I wish it was a bit easier so I could play longer and feel like I can reach higher scores. Great work!
This was super lovely. The music was atmospheric and the art was super neat, I would have loved to explore the world more!
I really love the concept and the visuals here, it's so fun. It was pretty inconsistent with how difficult it was, sometimes I won instantly and sometimes I lost quickly. There was also no way to restart a drink as far as I could see? I would love to play a full version of this!
This is PHENOMENAL. Absolutely stunning. I love the art, the audio, the spooky vibes of the little descriptions when you go to each location were so fun. The characters are so distinct and beautiful. I won immediately but had to see the other endings and the utter failure ending is fantastic. Also have to shout out the powerful queer vibes of this game, truly one of my favorite things about it. Congratgs on making such a cool thing!
