Wow, this is really great! It took a while to figure some things out, but overall I had a lot of fun playing your game! As you've said, some music would be nice, but the sound effects already in your project add a lot to it! Well done! :D

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the game :D
For the music I wish I could have added one but I didn't have the time ^^'
Thank you very much for your feedback <3

I loved your game!

Okay, I love escapes, but this one is very simple and it held me for a while. The picture puzzle took up more than half of my time. In the end I managed to escape. I missed the sound during the game. It would be perfect if something was playing.

Congratulations!

The picture puzzle is quite difficult I admit it >//<... I tried to make it more permissive, but I got restricted by the game engine :/

But thanks for your feedback I appreciate it <3

I really enjoyed the game ! The puzzle are simple but pretty cool (I didn't tic about the shrinking potion, thinking I will drink it and go trough the mouse hole, but when it did tic in my head, it was a pretty good feeling !) I would love to see this kind of puzzle for a full game on game boy ! It would have been sick !

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed the game, thank you very much <3
I'm not talented (and motivated :P) enough to turn this into a full GB game.

PS : if, by any chance, you like this kind of game, where you need to think outside the box, I highly encourage you to have a look at There is no game : Wrong Dimensions (on steam). It was so great, I enjoyed it so much <3

Very fun! Just the right amount of difficulty, but without being too confusing. I think the GameBoy controls were a bit tough and this same idea could be more fun with the mouse. Still, great pixel art and use of color! I love escape rooms and this was a great miniature one!

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed the game!
Thank you so much for your feedback <3

And yes the mouse controls would definitely be more convenient to use, I admit it ^^'

This is a great idea, and I love how you've used GBStudio to make it, very clever! I got stuck at one spot but came back the next day with a fresh mind and completed the game. This is another entry that I could easily see being on GameBoy if expanded out to multiple rooms. Well done!

Developer(+1)

I really struggled with GBStudio to get it to do what I wanted, it was quite frustrating at some times...
Thanks a lot for your feedback!

I'm so glad you appreciated it <3

Funny game. I liked the graphics. I couldn't find the spider, where was it?

Developer

It was hidden under the carpet... I knew I should have given a clue about it >//<

I cried when I had to sacrifice the cute little mouse to make the potion

Developer

If it makes you feel better, she didn't suffer too much and had a good life thanks to the cheese you gave her ;)
