I'm impressed with the execution work for a 14 day jam.
The game is fun, the puzzle are challenging and entertaining (the book one is hilarious too),
the music is great and the voiceover have an high level.
Really great job

Great game across the board. Writing was great and the voice acting. I really liked the puzzle design a lot. Got stuck initially on the Otto puzzle but it was fantastic and I loved the exectution. Got stuck a bit on the stones puzzle and reverted to trying things with everything but that’s fine.
Fantastic effort. Top tier Guga. really.

The Third WishThis was just so wonderful! Every detail is perfect, from the Servant rolling all of his Rs to Carla requesting I don't brand the prisoners because that's her job. The ventriloquist puzzle was ingenious. Where Wolf was quite a bit of fun last year, but this one's a huge leap in quality. Bravo!

My Mother & MeThanks :) I like adding little jokes here and there and I'm always happy if someone finds them (e.g. having Carla complain about you stealing her job). Also thanks for your comment on Where Wolf - as someone who's been brought up by somewhat violent nuns, that game has a special place in my heart :P
This is absolutely hilarious! Great pixel graphics, excellent puzzles and a brilliant voice-over to boot. I love the humor, too. Only got stuck once at the beginning of the Otto puzzle. It was clear what this was about, but it took me a moment to understand how to do it. Definitely my favourite puzzle from the game.
I had a lot of fun with it. The fact that this very polished game was developed in just two weeks for a jam makes it even more impressive.

Under the SeaThanks :) I could have implemented that puzzle a bit better but of all the puzzles I've ever designed, it's definitely my favorite.
And to think that I added it at the last minute. Otto was just going to be a decoration, until I posted a screenshot and someone on discord said "is the skull going to talk?" and that's how he was born :D
As was to be expected this was an immensely enjoyable entry! The lovely handcrafted animations, the stellar voice acting and the great writing make this three-parter of an substitution puzzle an absolute blast. Just the right amount of signposting led me to be only stuck once with the bookcase but after I figured it out, this puzzle was enjoyable and very funny as well. Some things were a bit obvious (like the stones) but this is half an hour of very funny entertainment! Bonus points for a talking skull! Hope we will one day solve the mystery of the servants name!

Subject Of ObservationThanks for your comment! I could have made the bookcase puzzle a bit less obscure but I would have needed more time to implement it the way I originally envisioned, and I had to choose between improving a single puzzle or having voice acting. I feel I made the right choice :D voices were really great
Got a very loved old point'n'click vibe here. Cool art, good humor, fun writing and voice acting. Remembered the days when played lots of games like this for hours, grown on them! Maybe, shall do one some day (when tired of experiments)... Thanks for this, polished enough and is highly enjoyable!

HorseMareExcellent game, as usual. Love how your puzzles are original (even if I spent way too much time on the dungeon door one :D).
Great humor and excellent characterization. Overall, one of my favorite games so far!

Under the SeaThat was awesome! You got a lot of content in there. Very funny stuff, and the voice acting was great!

a Royal Midnight SnackI get excited when I see the GuGames screen before a game because I know I'm about to have a great time. This was no exception. The puzzles were so much fun and the characters were hilarious. A very well made game with great animations and voice acting. Like always, fantastic job!

The Lost Borealis ExpeditionWell done as usual. Really good job making puzzles that are actually reasonably challenging with so few rooms.
Submitted
Saure Gurken: AudiospawnThanks :) I actually find it easier to give more purpose to each room, for my full game I often feel that the rooms are "empty", as if I'm not justifying their existence and I could merge the tasks / hotspots of more rooms into one. The 14-day format forces me instead to make less rooms and I'm happy to cram as much content as I can in them :P
This was an absolute pleasure to play. Very impressive scope for 2 weeks. Art and animation is great, puzzles are unique and just challenging enough to keep you hooked. The book puzzle had me stumped for a little while. Characters are well-written with funny jokes, and the voice acting really takes it to the next level, I’m glad you got those in. Really great job, Guga!
Oh and the horse’s name is a nice touch! ;)

The Alignment ParadoxA great, well-designed, fun game - with vampires!
As usual I loved the graphic style and the humor - and the voice-acting adds a lot to an already nice game - congratulations :-)

Twisted Times in Twinsmouth5/5 across the board. Loved the characters, the puzzles and the art. Great work!

Magenta: IN SPACE (Chapter 1 & 2)Great work. It's a 5 stars game for me. Funny, clever and atmospheric. Bellissimo.
