I wish the melting animation wasn't as long and had a bit more juice, just so you could better see when it started and stopped, and what was being melted. But I loved dragging my dumb human along with me. Somehow it was both adorable and "omg this poor person is such a dumb dumb" but in like a good way?
Great game, and good, interesting puzzles!
Haha, that's exactly the feeling I was going for!
And yeah, I toyed around with the duration on the melting quite a bit to get something I thought was satisfying - and I had the flame sprite jiggle, the increased flame particles, and the sizzle sound to try and juice it up enough - but maybe shaving a half second or so off and adding some water particles as well would have really perfected it.
Thank you so much for the feedback, I really appreciate it! :D
nice game and great art.
Thank you! :)
This one was cute. I really like how you build on the puzzles each level, it keeps what would be a fairly simple mechanic interesting for the entire length, and probably even farther if you had had more than 48 hours. I really liked the music, it sounded like a snowy area you'd find in a JRPG, and combined with the art created a really pleasant experience. All around pretty good.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Yeah, ideally I'd like to have created more interactables and more interesting puzzles, but there's only so much time during a 48 hour jam, haha!
A very cozy aesthetic that had beautiful artwork and music. Gameplay was simple, maybe might have needed a bit more complexity, but it got the job done. It gave me Unravel kinda vibes, to be honest. A job well done!
Thank you so much for the feedback! :D
couldn't progress too much (got stuck on a level with two ice cubes and two monuments, one is frozen, and the other is hidden). but I love the idea, great job!
Thanks for the feedback!
Maybe in the future I should add some sort of hint system after a certain number of restarts, just to prevent getting completely stuck
oh absolutely, I genuinely think this mechanic has great potential! could be easily ported for mobile, too
