When Nothing Came by velvetlobster 2019-10-09T03:36:51Z ♥ 2

My favorite game jam game yet! Standout elements: * The changes in music and poetry with changes in directionality – made it feel richer and deeper than a small 5-min puzzle game. I wanted to explore every possible back and forth combo! * The hidden clickable words in the poetry were subtle, just hard enough to discover to be satisfying without being too esoteric/frustrating. * Gorgeous animation. Clean and simple, with great use of color for added emphasis/flourish. Amazing job, team!!

Oh my gosh, the xylophone bone music is EVERYTHING.

I wanted to play more but got stuck on buying/selling – couldn't figure out how to make those actions go through (I dragged the item to the box and tried every combo of clicking and buttons, but it just reset to my having 3 pumpkins, etc). But love the art and concept, and the fact that it's appropriately seasonal :) Nice work!

Of course I didn't read the instructions so was initially confused by the darkness/wormholes (that's what they were, right??) – but then when I got my glasses, I got it ;) Very cute worm! I'm terrible at jumping puzzles so didn't progress beyond level 2, but it was fun to play. (Also, are the lasers supposed to hurt you? I walked into them a few times and nothing happened.) Clever application of the theme and nice work!

Lovely game! The art and music worked great, and the concept was refreshingly original. +1 to others above who suggested some menu navigation improvements - it took a bit of hunting for me to figure it out. I'd also liked to have seen the characters wear/model the items I created, esp. the cabbage ornament :) :) :) But great work overall!
