This game is fantastic!!! The visuals are stunning and the gameplay really enjoyable.
Hello there, thank you so much for playing our game and sharing your very kind words!
This game made me speechless in terms of visuals!!! it's amazing, the puzzles were simple, but I think that was good thing, my game had difficult puzzles many complained about it 🫠
In general, I am impressed by the game great job!
Thanks a lot for playing our game! Truth be told, I'm still not sure how to reliably get the difficulty just right. This time I think it was a lot of effort from my husband (you know him as the narrator's voice!), some playtesting, and some alignment of the stars, hehe.
Overall, really great entry. I can see how this framework could be used to make games in this style very quickly. The art is surprisingly good for AI too. Well done.
Thanks for playing our game!
Very interesting concept for a story-driven game, unraveling the story by completing the puzzles felt nice and interesting, but some sections felt a little bit too long in my opinion, well done :)
Thank you for playing our game and taking the time to share your feedback!
Wow very cool!
Love the art, music and the story as well as how the puzzles shaped the images, really well made!
Many thanks for your very warm comment! So glad you enjoyed :))
One of the best game I've played so far. The music, the art, and the ambience of the game it all resonates so perfectly so much that even after so much playthrough it doesn't feel old. loved how the puzzle just falls in place with the art. I've so many words for this game but not enough word to describe how much I've loved this game.
Thank you for playing our game and taking the time to sharing your thoughts. Reading your comment made us both so happy, thank you very much!
Great work! Loved that interactive puzzle game!

Great storytelling and execution. Loved it!

So beautiful and poetic. Congrats !
Thank you so much :))
Beautiful game, invites the player to relax and get into the story.
Thank you for playing our game!
Wow, this was clearly well made with a lot of attention to detail. High ratings for me. Unfortunately I'm a doofus and couldn't make it through the 3rd level. The difficulty shot up immediately. I was excited to see where it was going. If this was ever worked on more, I'd find a way to give hints to the players that need it.
Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback! It's always helpful to hear back about the difficulty so we can reach the right balance.
Wow! This is super well made! I absolutely loved playing this!
beautiful. well polished, good story. just the right length -- when I got to the final puzzle, I thought to myself, "this is getting a little repetitive" and then it ended.
الفن كان مذهلاً
كيف تمكنت من صنعها في سبعة أيام، يبدو أنك لم تكن نائماً :)
The art and music were amazing and puzzles were fun to solve, I love it! :D
I almost wish the mosaic levels were one gigantic one. Great user of the shapes of the images to drive the puzzles. I had a hard time with the first kraken puzzle, but the rest went really quickly.
Thank you for playing our game and sharing your thoughts... one gigantic mosaic does sound fun :))
Wow... it was a GREAT game, I normally don't like puzzle games that much, but this one... I'd buy it if it had other storys and even harder puzzles! Just loved it... Definitely one of the best games of the jam
Congratulations on your submission
That is so nice of you to say... Thank you! :D So glad you gave it a go and enjoyed it
