This is one of the most beautiful game submissions, so good!
Wow, this is honestly one of the more polished games I've seen in terms of mixing in a lot of art and mechanics together for the timeframe. I did run into some small bugs with boomerang, but honestly, for the timeframe, this was insanely well put together! Very artistic, love the aesthetic and the overall approach to the theme. I could see this being expanded to a full-fledged indie title. Great job and congrats on this awesome project! Hope y'all can get around trying mine out :)
I love this art style and the 2.5d perspective, it's incredibly charming, amazing job!
I like the dog, puzzles involving looping and boomerang. Definitely one of the most original approached to the theme in this jam.
I have a knack of soft locking myself. I went to the temple, opened the two triangle door. Got stuck at the three pedestal door. Back tracked to get the reverse device but when I returned to the two triangle door it wouldn’t open again. Ah well. Awesome looking game and nice use of loops.
Hmm thats a weird bug, I think it's just the loop detection around the pedestals is a bit wonky sometimes. Thanks for playing it tho!
Really well done game, especially for such a short time-frame! I love the 2.5D style, and the world had charm and felt good to run around in! I'd love to see this expanded (and maybe a few bug fixes :P)
Great job to you all!
Yeah we ran in to a few bugs a little too late :P, thanks for the compliments!
This is a near perfect game for a game jam! The art was crisp, the animations juicy, and even the camerawork was there! I don't expect camerawork in jam games, but here you pulled camera at the right places to focus on things and all that! The writing was great, hilarious, and the hints worked really well to move you forward. Couple of typos here and there but nothing egregious. Fantastic entry!
Was i supposed to use reverse-inator in three columns room to like launch a boomerang so it flying in 8 pattern around two pillars or maybe just around blue one? Anyway i opened that door before i even got reverse-inator, i just loped around blue ones myself one at a time
I think it first game i encountered with potential to become full-size one
You're actually meant to use the boomerang around one of the columns and then loop around the other two very fast. Our fault of not communicating timing correctly, this is happening to a lot of people and will be fixed on an update. Thanks for playing!
Very unique game! I really enjoyed the puzzle in the Mirage Caves. Unfortunately, I couldn’t figure out the solution to the one with the three pillars, so I had to get through using a bug. There are quite a few small bugs in general — I got stuck a couple of times and had to restart to get out. But overall, it’s a great game, and I’m glad I played it :)
One of the best plays so far, super polished and welcoming.
The game is very well polished, Loved the graphics!
REALLY enjoyed your game! Love the artstyle, sound effects and puzzles. Crazy how much was made for the jam
so cool!!!
Nice, I love the feature to use the [Q] Tool to bypass any wall, it helps me to solve the puzzles ! Just joking, really fun game, and nice arts. Good job team
hah yeah its a little buggy. We didn't have much time left to improve that mechanic sadly
Impressive work pulling off an adventure game like this in a jam! Big Paper Mario vibes here, mostly because of the visuals - though the gameplay reminds me of Bug Fables, which has a very similar boomerang mechanic.
You’ve created a really pretty world to explore, but at the moment it feels like there’s not much in it. There are only a handful of NPCs, and they don’t have much to say. The puzzles, as well, are interesting, but end up feeling kind of same-y. The boomerang and time device mechanics are really janky too - often the challenge was less figuring out the solution and more executing it without the game freaking out.
Overall, great work! All it needs is a bit more to find and do in the map.
Thanks for playing it and the thorough feedback! We hope to post some updates with better polish in the mechanics sometime in the future
A game developer never reveals secrets!
Lovely art and environments, very nicely done.
awesome art style. reminds me of the mario and luigi games. great game
We were very much going for a Cult of the Lamb look
Woah this is crazy to have made in 4 days. Looks really good, feels good to play. Well done!
Goodness, this is one slick puzzle adventure game to have been made in 96 hours!
