LOL! - My goal quickly became to see all the possible bodies.

Developer

Thank you so much! There are 3 different patterns (+ 3 more in the last stage), and I wish I had added more.

Simple concept, but really well executed!
I continued playing after winning just to see more of the possibilities of things gonig wrong, congrats!

Developer

Thank you! I appreciate you checking out even the wrong version!

I like the idea. Also, the gameplay, visuals, and sounds are great. The way it got faster too quickly made me lose the track at first, but I finished it 2nd try. As a side note, there is a minor bug, I think having physics after choosing the box causes the box to continue moving before revealing what’s inside. Overall nice game!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear the box movement was still rough—I thought I had improved it during testing, but it looks like it wasn’t fully fixed. I’ll take another look at the bug. Thanks again!

Amazing one! I love the graphics and the absurdity of the difficulty at the end with the explosion. Just a very cohesivee ntry overall, gg!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the graphics and the challenge!

Yeah i love the simple game of moving the boxes its one of my favorites. Had to go back and see what happened if you failed but i liked the visuals and the story of it being a magic trick

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that you liked the visuals and the story!

What a cool game! Despite being a shell game mechanically, you made it feel fun. I liked the presentation and style a lot and was proud to make it through perfectly on the first try. I still went back and tried a few of the wrong choices just to see what they were. That might have been a fun ending scene - just a randomizer to let the player see some of the wacky combos. Anyway - awesome work!

Developer(+2)

Thank you! And congrats on the no-miss clear! More players checked out the failure scenes than I expected, so endings like the ones you suggested could maybe be a great addition. I really appreciate you playing!

Amazing game! I love the art style and sound effects. Guessing the boxes was fun all the way to the last stage. Magic! Good job!

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it all the way to the last stage!

I like how you transformed the ordinary mechanics of the shell game into a magical trick; it looks MAGICAL! Very nice visuals and sound!

Developer

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words.

Loved it! Would like to see a magician pull this off IRL ;)

Developer(+1)

Thank you! But I’m hoping no one actually tries this for real... :D

The game is super simple. But really fun to play. Love the hand drawn visuals, It got a charm to it. The game is also well polished and the experience is great. I wish there were more levels. Keep up the great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I wish I could have added more levels too. I really appreciate your feedback!

Really fun game, and the extra bits you added with the explosions was a great idea. I had a lot of fun with this one, nice job! Great art and style as well. 

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad you spotted the extra bits!

This little magic show is charming and enjoyable, with hand-drawn visuals and a delightful homemade soundtrack that really set the tone. Game is a light-hearted and engaging puzzle experience overall. Great work on crafting a playful and creative jam entry!

I had to play several rounds of the game to see all the game over patterns.
I love their awkward faces when they fail.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I wish I could have added more game over patterns. I also really like those awkward faces!

Submitted(+1)

I loved it!!!

Beautiful and fun and well polished.

I'm glad this jam isn't all murderously difficult extreme platformers.

Developer

Thank you so much! I was worried the game might be too easy, but I'm really glad to hear that :D

Submitted(+1)

It's a simple game but I loved it! I kept going back and clicking the wrong boxes just to see all the different wrong legs I could find hahaha. Props for making such a variety of them! You could've easily settled for just one wrong answer, but I think that variety made it special.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I think the more variety in wrong answers, the better—I actually wanted to add even more. I'm really glad you liked it!

Developer
