I definitely like the idea of this game, even though it is a bit annoying when Link doesn't listen to you, but it can be fixed after this jam and I would like to play it again when it's fixed :)

It felt just slightly too random, perhaps, to be consistent as a puzzle game. A more deterministic character would have made this more enjoyable. It is a solid concept, though.

Another fellow godoter!
Poor navi, portrayed like an annoying fly :( at least she helps a lot xD this was by far one of the most creative ways to fit the theme in this jam, loved it! Got to the level 3 than I got pissed with dumb link.

I like the concept. Everyone says the fairys are annoying, but no one thinks of how annoyed they are at us. The game screen is just a bit too tall for my monitor so it took me a while to figure out what I was supposed to do because the whole inventory was obscured

That's a very useful feedback, Lucas, I was wondering if 800px height was standard, but definitely I could place inventory elsewhere instead, just to avoid these issues. Thanks for the comment!

It's working, it just happen that Link is not very obedient, lol. You have to keep clicked the chest or the inventory item until he is aware. But he sometimes get distracted :) Thanks for the feedback

Yep, it's hard and a bit frustrating sometimes. You have to keep clicked the chest or the inventory item until Link is aware, but he sometimes get distracted, lol. Thanks for the feedback!

Yep, it can be improved infinitely of course and let Link being less dumb, lol... I wanted the game to not behave like a point-and-click, because I think it would destroy the whole point if you just directly move him. I think I just hadn't the time to find the right balance. Anyway, thanks a lot for your feedback! :)

Thanks a lot for your feedback! Part of that was actually intentional. We usually play Link without caring much about Navi, so I wanted the player to not having direct control and struggling trying to communicate with him, but I understand it might be too frustrating.
