Thanks for submitting this to the stream! I like the unique idea and the play on words with the title is pretty funny. It's cool to gradually untangle the mess in your patients' brains. I also really loves the character sprites and the gibberish dialogue. Especially when the penguin shrinks down/comes back.
Great job!
It's a really strong entry! Your creative approach to the theme and building the mechanics is impressive. Good effort, congrats!
I have no idea on how you made those lines renderer and knotted but it's very very well made ! Also the little introduction at the start of the game and the animation (and voice) of the characters talking are so funny !! Good job !!
Very nice presentation. My only concern is that it felt like there were no decisions for me to make: I wasn't playing, so much as I was simply moving forward. Satisfying, nonetheless.
Well done! This game is charming and has lovely artwork. I enjoyed untangling these patients' problems!
Really great game, the art looks great and the concept is spot on. The only real issue I found was you could just spin your mouse in circles to unravel the knots.
Wow, what an awesome game! I love the double interpretation of the theme. Plus, I can't get over those dialogue sounds ahahaha
Cosy, meditation game with very cool art and dialogs! Just the thing after jam
Such a cool concept, and everything was really nice and polished.
If I was to give any criticism, it would just be that I thought the dialog bubbles lasted too long, and the strings were a bit buggy at times. It was a great game though and you guys did an amazing job. Very well done!
Nice concept with very high quality execution. Good Job!!
Great game designed! I love the idea that the scaling can really sovle something ( that we really need in the real life ) that's a good wish!
omw this is such an adorable concept! I wish real therapy was like this xD my one suggestion is to maybe have an option to turn the sound down a bit
Cozy and relaxing game. Cute art and funny voice-actoring :D Sounds a little too loud, but decreasing my mixer volume solved it. Remind me Psychonauts game :D Also you have intresting theme interpritation. Bad thought also scales themselves in our mind too, maybe you thought about it too when thinking about concept.
Wish you best luck, had fun and heartwarm feelings during playing your game.
Super cute 2D art ! I felt like the ratio actual gameplay / watching the animation was a little unbalanced but that could be a creative choice. Maybe when you untangle the string it could still catch the neurons to make it more difficult instead of going through them once you’ve escaped on node. Again, very beautiful, congrats !
LOVE the art style. Fantastic concept too ( though it only barely fits the jam theme imo)
I think this works perfectly as a little art piece. As a game there probably needs to be one more mechanic during the untangling phase ( locked neurons, traumas you need to carefully circumvent etc.).
Great job!
Absolutely loved every aspect of this game! The writing, voice acting and art were all so cute. The most emotionally engaged I've been with any game so far this jam. It made me really want to help all the animals. I didn't want it to end. It's so impressive that all this was made in 96 hours. You all did a fantastic job!
Thanks for playing! glad you liked it! :)
One of our teammates send us your stream, it's was so fun to watch!!!! Thank you so much for liking and enjoying our little game, it's much appreciated <3
Such a well done game! Cute, cozy and fun to play. One of the best I've tried so far in this jam.
Nice idea, and 2d art pretty good, Great!
Cool art style! :)
The untangle mechanic wasn't to my liking, but the whole design made it worth to keep going.
What an interesting take on the game jams theme. The art and sound design are really amazing, they blend in together so well. Awesome game.
