Great game! I didn't get very far in it but I really like the aesthetic. The gameplay is really smooth too, even though I feel a little bad leaving the small keys behind. Music is not distracting and sound effects did a good job letting me know that the keys have been separated.

I feel that even though the movement controls are interesting, it doesn't add much to the game. I feel more frustrated than fun having to move my hand all over my keyboard constantly.

Overall, it's an enjoyable game with a great deal of polish done. Great job!

Hey thanks for giving our game a go! <3

Regarding movement controls, I think thats def a valid point. Its kinda one of the things I want to explore, how those movement controls can actually add to the overall experience :D

Looks so cute. And plays nicely. Controls reminded me of "Keyboard Sports", where you also move by pressing the keys on the keyboard.

Love how the keys got joined together to press the 'bigger' buttons.

Cool game. It's a shame that I can't get past level 4 because of my Scandinavian keyboard😕

This game is so cute, and I love how the music ramps up. I liked how moving was based on keys, and the concept of the ‘sticky keys’ was implemented nicely with good puzzles.

Hey, this is a really cool game! Is that you playing bass? I really like the way the level looks. I kept forgetting I needed to move my hands across the keyboard for the first two/three levels but got used to it after that.

Thanks for playing our game<3 !

Haha yea thats actually me playing some guitar that went through quite a few FX pedals.
It's actually the first time I've tried composing some of my random guitaring :P.

a very nice puzzle game

Well that's an unusual input system. Very fun and well-made puzzle game, sound and art-design fit very well together!

Thanks for giving our game a go <3.

I had fun sinking my teeth into this game! Super cute game with adorable audio to accompany it. I initially thought I was supposed to save my fellow key family members, only to realize I am a selfish Q and only care about saving myself (I am SO sorry other keys for just using you and leaving you behind T-T). It took me a while to fully understand the keyboard movement and even when I did, I still seemed to need the tips for which key to press in order to move, but it was still great fun to solve!

Thanks for playing our game!

I have to admit, even after 48 hours of designing and testing puzzles for this game, the control method still messes with me :D .

I'm a keyboard god! 💪

Got to say, this game had some nice ideas, and the presentation was superb! I love the "keyboard" theme, which is quite unique in its cartoonish fashion. All in all, it's a great take on the "move boxes around" genre of puzzle games, since it rarely feels like pushing and more often feels like you're a big magnet. There's a great use of the keyboard layout and the limited spaces areas.

I must admit, though, that it took me quite a while to get used to the movement system. It was well worth it later on, but it still felt somewhat stressful even by the end.

But all in all, I can't complain about anything else. Lots of charm to be found, and quite an amusing experience! 🐳

Wow great job playing through it all!

haha trust me, even after designing and implementing the puzzles the movement setup still messes with me head :P .
Thanks for giving our game a go ^^.

It is a pretty nice looking game. Some of the puzzle go over my head though nice stuff.

Interesting concept, very clever!

Submitted(+2)

I like the concept, and the art is interesting. The letters were a bit hard to see, particularly when they were on the "companion key". In one of the levels (with spikes in front of the door, and a return key above the spikes), no text appeared on the spikes after I pressed the buttons, so got stuck on that level.

The art and animation is really cute. I really like the mechanic and while I suffered through some of the levels this game is really fun to play.

Clever game!

Very clever little puzzles, much more difficult then it seems at first.

Developer

Thanks for playing our game <3 !

We only just found out level 04 was actually impossible to complete due to a mistake on our part ;) .
So be sure to give it a try again once the Gamejam is over as the game will then contain 10 soul crushing puzzles for your enjoyment.

Fun game, very short but the movement makes up for it! 8/10

Developer

more levels still to come we just already uploaded a build so we have something working :D

good concept, but one level is impossible because i have different type of keyboard . 

8/10

Developer(+1)

Oh no, that's a bummer to hear :(. Perhaps if you switch to standard international you'll be able to play through it!
Apologies, due to GameJam time constraints we can't really support different keyboard layouts :( . Thanks for giving it a go though! <3
