What a great story. I loved the artwork and the music fits the game perfectly.

I think it would have been nice to go back (like, move the camera up) a bit faster, to see again certain parts that I really liked. But it was a great experience anyway.

thank you!
well, I was considering making camera flow faster, but i feel it would break the mood

Submitted

I agree. It would have been nice more speed to revisit some of your illustrations, but I was going down, it felt just nice as it was.

I love it. it was amazing! Great Story and Art!!

Developer(+1)

thank you! i am happy to hear!

Submitted

Very impressed with the artwork. It must´ve taken such a long time.  The audio fits the narrative.

Sadly, we didn't quite catch the gameplay and were confused.

Developer

thank you!

oh, that's too sad, i tried to make it as simple as possible - you move camera with up/down and you click on picture to open the next one or solve a puzzle to open next picture

Submitted

After giving it another try we figured it out. Such a beautiful game.  I think some sort of replying sound  was missing, so we would have known that were clicking something that belongs to the puzzle etc. But as already mentioned, very beautiful and relaxing game!

Developer

yes, I was already thinking about it, but didn't have time

Beautiful story, the art and music are simply amazing.

Amazing game! Very fun to play and very relaxing.

Very beautiful! Only problem I sometimes had was that some pictures didn't load when it was in the middle of my screen even though I finished the interactions on the previous screen. Also a small nitpick is that the text goes outside the screen when you don't play on fullscreen at the screen after you solve the star puzzle. But besides that I really enjoyed it,  the story and art is very adorable <3

Developer(+1)

thanks you!

yes, unfortunatly it happends that borders are cutted:((
you had this problem with the pad with key and open door? you should click on open door to load next one, i felt it is more logical

Submitted

Actually yes it was during that part, maybe you could add an indicator that you should open it? The rest works great though ;o

Developer

i see, sorry that it was confusing

Like i said before: Love it! beautiful game, i realy like the style of bed time story. It seems innovative.

Submitted(+1)

I loved the visuals, the hand drawn style is amazing! Great job.

Developer(+1)

thank you!

Beautiful game. Well done on the incredible amount of artwork!

so nice game! like a fresh breath!

The game's cute and the music's relaxing, though I spent more time than I'd like to admit on the flag puzzle.

Submitted(+1)

This game is beautiful. The music is relaxing.

Submitted

It sounds and looks really cute! If you just had a little feedback sound effect when the player clicks on the right place you could release it on steam tomorrow in my opinion. And it feets the game perfectly !

Developer

thank you! yes, I was already thinking about it, but didn't have time

This is the game I was most looking forward to ever since I saw it on the discord server :) I love your artwork and the music is very soft and calming. Thank you very much for sharing your lovely story :)

Developer

thank you so much! i am really happy you liked that:)

Submitted

Hey there @ana.merzlaya. Awww what a nice game. I really enjoyed it. You did a very nice game. Good job^^


I would be happy if you playtest our game too :D Here is the link: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/925955

Developer

thank you! yes, I'll try in a moment

Submitted

It seems other people can play your game, I can't :( it is stuck in the first menu, a hint what I'm doing wrong?

Developer

Hm, I am not sure. I don't have a real menu in the game. You just need to use buttons up/down to scroll camera view, you would also need to click on pads/ sovle puzzle to open the next pad

My God!... You're amazing artist.

We can keep in touch for future colabs!.

Thanks for your game

Developer(+1)

thanks a lot for such kind words!

yea, we may think of it:)
