- I'm very impressed with this entry. The take on the theme is great, and the execution is fantastic. Taking a silly foddian style game, and juxtaposing it with a story about the death of a family and gender identity was really compelling. Finding each item and learning about what that item means to the main character, and how they were affected also worked really well. This is a game I would love to see fully realized. It has loads of potential. The physics of the pole (while working really well for a game jam game) will definitely need work if you were to polish this further. At the very least, just putting a "un-stick" option in the menu would help a lot. The pole got me stuck twice and I had to restart both times. But I was enjoying your game so much I was willing to start over each time. Amazing work! Make this longer, polish it up, and sell it on steam!
- Fantastic story and gameplay. Great work! Kudos for using dual definitions of vault!
- Fun mechanics, great storytelling! If I had more time I would explore the potential other endings, thanks for sharing!

Great double themed entry (the pole + the family vault).
Really interesting pole mechanic. When it seems you got the hand of it, you have a new challenge and have to start learning everything from scratch again (which is great :) )
And the little VO with the story is a nice touch!
Great job!
Thank you for the lovely comment! Glad you liked it! C:
Dude it was super, fun and creative, got mad frustrated with the physic some times, really liked the background, voice audio could be a bit louder
Glad to hear you liked it!
Did you try changing the dialogue volume in the settings? You can press ESC to pause and access the settings during the game (but not during dialogue).
Yea I noticed it, I also was live streaming it if u wanna see my reaction let me know
Sure. Would be interesting to see someone play it.
here is the twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/poppy_bros_64 where I lived streamed it
Took a bit to get the physics right but once you did, this was a lot of fun! Great implementation of the theme here and a relatable story. Great work!
So glad you liked it! I was in charge of the story, so I appreciate that you related to that.
Fun!
Thanks!
The game's fun!
Love the extra polish on it!
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that! :D
