A really innovative idea to pretend something else!
The process reminded me of playing hide-and-seek when the seeker seeks with closed eyes and you try not to make noise when he is around. I liked graphics and music too.
I'm not an experienced player (I prefer point&click quests). But I've got 3 treasures (killed one fish though). Then my 4 year old son started playing, I didn't watch closely but he also got at least 3 treasures.
I like the art, nice graphics! Couldn't hear the music or sounds (MacOs, Safari). I would prefer arrows or WASD as controls.
Definitely innovative gameplay! I like the music, too.
I had found out some facts (about panic attacks, what she felt, Tom, etc) but then got stuck.
Clicked a lot :) Found out some facts, but couldn't finish the game. Got stuck with "I love the pastries"
The art is nice. The click interface is good (I've seen jam point&click games in which you can't just click another object, you have to press a button "inspect another object").
I liked the pencil art and the music. Little details in the rooms were also nice and funny.
But the lack of graphics at the start of the game at first made me think that there are mistakes in the game or it won't have any graphics at all.
I wondered why a game with such beautiful art has too few ratings. I guess it's because html version takes ages to load... I have macOS Big Sur, opened it in Chrome and I've been waiting for 5 minutes already, don't know if it'll be able to load( UPD. it opened quickly in Safari
Well done art, music sometimes seemed too epic for me. Nice puzzles, but in the end the king started to move by himself and a green scene appeared.Was it the end animation?
I loved the art, atmosphere and the idea of the game. My only wish is to have a number of "healed" people in the upper right corner of the game window.
I'm not an experienced gamer (I prefer point&click quests), so my best result is 5 pearls) Tried to buy more oxygen but it didn't help.
I liked the art, it's very nice!
Didn't feel like a game, it was more an experience that you can get when you visit some modern art exhibition) Interesting idea. I looked around and then clicked the floor and saw the clock, then clicked to go to the next dream...
To make it a game you could add ability to move around and to find and pick some item that would take player to another dream (go deeper in the dreams). The winner would be the one who went the deepest. This item could look very similar to the background (so the player would have to search carefully the whole dream space).
Got eaten with centipede several times! Had no idea what to do with it :D Also spent too much time around the rabbit: it promised to show some secret entrance and I expected something to happen, some animation pointing where I should go next.
The music is nice and relaxing, I liked the style of the characters and some background items)
I'm not an experienced player (I prefer point&click quests) so 1/6 was my best result :D Also got into the situation when my piece got stuck for a while: when it was around the first piece to catch for some time it kind of stopped and couldn't fly.
I liked the art, music and idea though. Привет из Домодедово ;)
This is the first time I have played a text adventure, even though I like to read and to write kids books) It is well written, nice jokes, fits the theme well.
This game looks really professional. Sound and visual do a great job together, all the dialog options are well done. The airport guard reminded me of anime Space Dendy :)
I got stuck on a third puzzle, though I suspected that kings names had some relation to other items in the room. I like the way how you deal with jam theme, though. I also like scene transitions.
At first I was a bit irritated about the walk sound (seemed too loud). After a while I got used to it.
I liked the graphics of the characters) I wish that I could use some keys to use the stuff from inventory, my 4 year old son wasn't very happy when I searched through texts (kept whining :D)
I'm not an experienced gamer (I prefer point&click quests) so had to ask my husband to play the game. At level 1 we couldn't use the ladder but got through with 2 ropes.
I like the character and music) Felt a bit frustrated about the time the game loaded (macOS Big Sur, Chrome).
Overall, good job!
My 4 year old son is a fan of Jacques-Yves Cousteau tv show, loves everything about divers so we coudn't pass by)
Had some problems with jelly fish, but solved this puzzle and reached the end of the game. I love the art (usually I don't like pixel art but this is a wonderful exception), music and the atmosphere of this deep dive. Great job!
I'm not an experienced gamer so I liked the relaxing gameplay. Played the game with my 4 year old son, I moved the leaf and he was responsible for F and G controls.
I like the black and white art and the music that's playing during the game. Didn't like intro music that much (sounded like too complicated for me). Also it would be cool to add some animations when you press F and G. Overall, good job!
My 4 year old son loves Jacques Ives Cousteau tv shows so we couldn’t pass by. I’m not an experienced player (I prefer quests) so I couldn’t dive too deep but still scored better then my son) I liked the gameplay, the lightning effect and art.
When I saw this cute catstronaut I couldn’t pass by! I love mysterious detectives. Seemed too much talking but it’s understandable considered harsh time limit for game development. I loved the drawn art and the last dialog)
At first I couldn't understand why I died) Died several times and only then thought that I might have oxygen limit. I love the music and the idea, it's funny)

*Our game has enough ratings but I couldn't pass by your game*
It'a piece of art that should be exhibited at some modern art museum! I can easily imagine how I walk in some Tate Modern and play this in some dark room with a huge touchscreen :) Great atmosphere, great use of the topic, also loved how it was drawn.
Quadruple trouble by gerrrard 2021-10-11T19:45:12Z ♥ 1
Good atmosphere and art. First I failed quickly, then discovered what to do with 'P' handle and kept element stable for some time. I think it would be nice to have time scores, if this game had time scores I would play a couple more times and see what's my highest could be.
Ghosting the Party by Fer Gueler 2021-10-06T05:20:07Z ♥ 2
Wanted to play this so much, but I cant pass even the first running! Even my husband coudnt do it in 5 mins and he is a very experienced gamer. So no "chilling mood" for me. Is there an opportunity to skip first run?
The Swirl by cybuuorg 2021-10-05T22:02:47Z ♥ 4
Played a couple of times, first a quick ending, next time I was very careful until I met that boss :) Very stylish art & music, great composition in images.
Plubertium: Galactic Exchange Student Sim by mechamew 2021-10-05T20:12:31Z ♥ 1
I remember your cat from the previous jam, so I decided to check this game too :) Great art, atmosphere, music. Loved shaking animation. The text is funny too, poop culture and other stuff :) Not "too much talking" this time, great job!
House is not always a home by SeaSlugStudios 2021-10-05T19:40:25Z ♥ 1
Great job for a compo, you certainly know how to prioritise features. The game certainly has an atmosphere. I played 2 times and reached bad end 1 and bad end 3.
