the art was amazing although the animation might want a bit more movement in it, the story and characters was nice but the shy guy hana although we know his shy but you could use some more text to show that like a subtract symbol "-", the tips was helpful but I would like to have a faster skip dialogue since it's a bit long, moving left and right looks faster then going up and down so balance the speed? the music and audio was really fitting but could use more like footsteps
good game :D
Quite a nice and quiet game. The music is very nice and the narrative is great. The only thing, that I would like to mention is the idea, that you can hold the spacebar while talking to speedup the dialogues, I think you should somewhere mention it, cause I got it nearly at the end. Anyways, Liked it!
Great game, well done <3
Very cute, fun game! The puzzles could've used a bit more playtesting though. I thought 8088 for the number puzzle (mathematical sum of 8 and 0 is 8), and kept trying to input the button in sequential order of red, purple, blue, green.
But overall, great job!
I'm stumped, this is clearly the correct answer! 😡
No? Tried it the other way around (so that 2 was on right too) like a madman.
Also tried 63*9 but obviously in this the sum didn't quite add up and nothing worked on that slot.
The rest of the puzzles (I think think this was the only one left for me anymore) were easy enough. Almost got dunked on in the block pushing one but more on that later...
So I was almost thinking of calling it a day for playing and rating when I saw that adorable cover art and I just had to click it. Needless to say that the game looks and sounds awesome. The only things to really nitpick about the visuals are in the speech box. The font didn't really fit the overall look of the game otherwise and I felt like the character name on it was incorrectly aligned too close to the edge. Also when text was scrolling in, a word could start on the first line and then suddenly jump to second one when it got more letter. Obviously not a huge but these minor things really matter in such an overall polished look.
Oh and if you want me to get even more nitpicky, I've got you covered! 😅 Beginning the game with the main character on the side of the screen and a very similar looking one (obviously based on the cover art) slapped right in the middle was a bit confusing for a good second. And controls being locked here until the tutorial message is shown doesn't help either.
The gameplay then on the other hand wasn't quite perfect. Even for how little of it there really was. The controls felt a bit janky, for example there were some weird speed boosts and odd movement delays that were very unimmersive. And the clolliders of some things were waaaay too huge. The main offender here was the pushable blocks. You could push em around from the other side of the earth I think. Almost got stuck because the red one got pushed all the way down to that small alley just my moving back and forth the two first NPCs. Fortunately after a good minute of grinding myself on that block it finally came loose and I was able to manoeuvre it to the correct spot.
Aight, I've got not much else to say really. Very good job! 👍
Thanks so much for playing our game and thanks for the awesome feedback! The issues you have brought up were common ones faced by our players. It is clear to see that a little playtesting on our end would have gone a long way (especially for the number puzzle), but so is the nature of game jams and we'll keep it in mind for our next one! As a team of 3 fledgling game creators, this is very welcome feedback. Thank you and enjoy playing the other game jam games!
Cool cool. But it's killing me, what is the correct solution for the number puzzle? You can DM me it on Discord or comment it on my game page or something if you don't want to spoil it here.
Sure thing. I think ill do a little explaining for those who find themselves in a similar boat. So the first digit has to do with symmetry (a number that can be folded both ways and still look the same) so your options are really zero or eight. the second hint is specifically referring to a number that when split vertically in two looks like a new number so if we look at our numbers for slot one, eight is the only one it can be (creating three). the third digit (probably the one that confused the most people) was OUR sum (cryptically referring to the sum of all the characters, AKA being "stronger together") so all you would need to do is count up the characters (including Piko) totaling six. The final digit was a reflection of the first and eight being symmetrical is also eight. I wanted to make sure you got your answer (and anyone else looking for one) without it being easily spoiled. and if you find you have the time I recommend playing the game all the way through as there is a neat little ending scene :) (i was a little bummed people weren't seeing it because we made the puzzles too hard)
Okay, I was thinking of numbers for their values and not the shapes. And yes, I think the third one seems like bit of a stretch, I was thinking this in terms of sum of the (other) numbers too. I was kinda close too when I tried to start and end with eight based on the last hint too but was still going wrong with thinking the second would be half of the number and not visually half of it. And obviously third one too but would have come to correct one on this since I tried to loop through the whole thing.
So basically my solution of 2185 was completely correct but just thinking from different angle. So it's kinda like if you give a math student a test where they need to solve a quadratic equation but only accept one of the answers.
MOTHER****** the only one I understood was the last and third one but the first I thought is an even number and the second is half of the first so divide by 2, so it means literally what the tips mention XD
I love the looks of your game! It was a really fun experience! I was only a little bit confused with the hitboxes sometimes
Clever Puzzles and beautiful graphisms !
Very good game! I enjoyed interacting with the characters :) and the art is amazing.
Nice Work!
I really like the cute characters. The movement feels a bit delayed but this does not hurt the game because it does not rely on it. I enjoyed the puzzles and the relaxing music and of course the special characters and setting. 😊
Very cute and charming art. The dialogues dragged on a bit. Still a sweet and charming game! Good work!
Nice game but so much chat got me bored.
A little guidance, in the beginning, would have helped a lot. Really loved this game. The art and music gave such a nostalgic feel that I cannot describe. This is amazing!
The art style is so cute! I love the character designs and the background, and the music is fitting too. I think it is a little too hard to figure out what exactly you're supposed to do but it was fun to explore and talk to all the characters. Overall, very nice game, good job!
The art for this game is amazing! The puzzles are clever too. I wish it gave a little more direction in the beginning. I don't know what to do with the two boxes in the beginning. It seems like I can't push them past a certain point.
Great game!! The characters are so cute and the puzzles/game run very smoothly. The overall art is amazing!
