Stuck on 4 flags. Played 4 times. Love it. I agree with some of the other feedback about having sound or visual effects when a tool is used correctly - it'd make it feel that much more rewarding to have figured something out.
Daymn! This is either very hard, or i'm dumb as hell. Either way this is awesome. I found 1 flag.
Music is awesome. The concept is brilliant. Great job!
Thank you so much!
Very happy to have been stuck on 4 puzzles for hours on this. :) Super well-designed, great interpretation of the theme. Time made it that much harder, but that's okay!
Hi, thought the game was great :) Visuals were really nice. I found 4 flags in 2 tries.
Some small things I personally would like for the game are:
All in all though thought it was great :)
These are all really good suggestions thank you so much! I'll definitely remember them if/when I ever make a game similar to this. I was worried it might be a bit overwhelming but wasn't sure how to address that issue. So thank you so much! And I did want to add sound effects and such but ran out of time so definitely a note for the future. Add sound effects!
Thanks again for the feedback I really really appreciate it! These are all really good points.
Whoa, that's awesome! I'm no good at puzzles and mind games, but I still loved playing it and discovering everything!
Yay! Glad to hear it! I’m a sucker for puzzles and escape the room type stuff so I wanted to try my hand at it, and I’m really glad you enjoyed it!!
This was fantastic! I played through like 4 times trying to find that 6th flag but you've stumped me. I suspect I know what is supposed to be the clue but can't figure out how to "connect" it ;) see what I did there?
So glad to hear it!! And haha I added a 6th puzzle cause I was worried one or two might stump people. It was some of my first puzzles like this so wanted to give people a little breathing room. Glad you enjoyed it!!
Super engaging puzzles, and the visuals are lovely. I played through twice, and will probably try again for those last couple flags I couldn't find :)
Ahh that makes me super glad to hear! I spent a while on them but didn't a chance to play test with people who didn't already know the solutions so that means so much thank you!
It seems that we had similar interpretations of the theme :p
Very well done, the interface is beautiful.
Haha I thought the same thing when I saw your entry! Thank you :)
