How does you game fit the theme?
The game fits the theme through it's narrative and setting. You play in a boys mind, trying to escape his self-forged cage of depression, anxiety, and fear. This cage is not real, and is instead a trap of his own mental creation.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No, the music, sfx, and transitions were taken from assets I bought off of the Unity Asset Store.

Such an cute game, puzzles are not too hard, the story is full of emotion and visuals fit perfctly to all of that. At a moment, I thought levels will be composed to make a drawing of the brother or something. Maybe levels who visually match with the text in which case levels can seem a bit repetitive. But just a bit really. But otherwise well done ^-^
Really, REALLY nice game! I loved the story, the visuals, the levels, everything! This is a really good game with all the mechanics added to it and stuff.
Please also rate my game!
Such a super duper nice experience, everything looks good, sounds good, feels good, the story also hits the feels. I'm really happy I found your game I'm so happy I played it. Thanks for this game.
Hey!
First of all, congrats for finishing the game! I have to say, this was so good. I love the music, the visuals, the atmosphere, the puzzles, every bit of it! I tried to speedrun it and I think I managed to finish it pretty fast. You have to make this into a full game, with more story, more puzzles, harder difficulty... I wish it was longer ^_^ It's a very polished and beautiful game, very well done, one of the best!
It would be really awesome to have you playing my game too, if you don't mind of course. ^_^
Hey! Thanks so much <3 I'll be sure to give your game a try at the first moment I'm free :)
oh this is so good, the puzzle and the story kept me engaged until the end. the mechanic is so interesting. I really like the way it delivers the text too.
the only two small problem that I had was that I was too engaged into solving the puzzle and I lost a few lines, and I thought the trampoline was a portal at first because the way it looks and I think that the first time they appear you jump from one to the other. not sure if it is even worth noting tho.
this is my favorite entry so far, I really hope you win this!
Omg thank you so much!!! <3
Top-level aesthetics and sounds, touching story, and highly polished. Great job! :)
Well, it was certainly interesting. Not very challenging but it grabbed my attention and I finished it. Didn't expect to feel sad playing game jam games so I guess your narration hit some sweet spots... Nice job, hope your are doing well!
Cute game, relly loved the aesthetics. i played it non stop. it was very satysfying.
Would you like to check mine?
What a lovely game! I was absorbed in both the puzzle and the text narration. The ending really hit hard, especially when it just transitions to a single block. Amazing, amazing, amazing!
Absolutely beautiful, so simple, so elegant and so fluid. Amazing game!
I really had a good time with this. Very beautiful vibe, and really solid design work on the puzzles. This is more of a personal taste thing, but I would have appreciated if the gameplay gelled a little more with the story. To me, they felt like two separate entities. Both very good, but kind of in the way of each other. I also wish it was a smidge more challenging -- perhaps limiting the number of moves. But I also think that would get in the way of the story, which further adds weight to my previous point.
Still, I love the escalation of the puzzles and introduction of new mechanics. You understand basic game design principles, and that's a hard thing to get right in a lot of cases. Beautifully done.

This was beautiful. I love the piano music. Great job. :)
this made me emotional
I almost cried :(
But that aside, it was a fun little game with a simple art style (my favorite), good job! The game didn't really fit the theme much, the story did, but that's fine honestly.

In all seriousness, this was a great game, the gameplay puzzles were the perfect difficulty and the story behind kept me going to the end, this is truly a heartfelt puzzle/story game.
well done! the art is cool and the controls are simple and straightforward, I got immersed with the gameplay as I was reading the text, overall great game! congratulations! keep it up!
This is a really beautiful game, and the puzzles are always satisfying.
One of the few games i fully played through
That's the first game that i finished . It was so satisfying to collect everything , with such a simple mechanic you managed to make this masterpiece.
Everything is great about it
Nice game, rated it. Pls check out my game if you don't mind - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152
Really emotional game. At first, I thought that the levels were to short to solve, but then I realised that it makes much more sense this way so you can follow the conversation better. Loved the assets and the music fits perfectly.
