Awesome! I only did 52% correct words 😢. This is one of the best ideas i've seen so far in this jam. Also very well executed.

Burag ! Very nice & cute game ! 

Absolutly loved the art & the animations . 

Really liked the concept, even though I wasn't really good at it (only 19 out of 25) Would love to play more of that, and travel around a liitle bit to meet more thesaurus and try to decipher more words.

in terms of feedbacks, I don't have much to say. The game is already really polished.

Great work :)

I really liked the whole concept alot. It would be nice to see a full fledged experience! Good luck with the jam!
(BTW the scrolling was bugged for me using Firefox).

A beautiful and fun game, I want in the future to travel more around the planet learning the language and helping the dinosaurs.

Really fun and creative, nice art and sound, failed almost everything tho. Has a very good potential.

Definitely one of my favorite game submissions. A really cool unique concept. I felt pretty confident after translating all 25 words but ended up getting only about 50% correct! Wish I could see what I messed up. From an implementation perspective, my constructive feedback would be that I found I often wanted a way to close out of a conversation without providing a response, and also I found it strange that entering a response while the notepad is open could potentially enter the same text into both text fields at once. I hope you continue developing this game, I’d happily sink another few hours into playing it!

This has very creative gameplay. It was really satisfying when it clicked and you could reconize what a word means.

Your game is so unique and charming! Time flew at lightning speed. Didn't realized I spent half an hour on it. Can't believe I only got 4% of the words... Meaning 1 word I think? It has to be a mistake! I'm so upset haha

Thank you for making that game!


EDIT: Okay, played a second time and got 88%. I'm pretty sure I had most of the words already, maybe there was a bug or something. I mostly put the same translation. Maybe it's because I didn't press enter while editing multiple words, or maybe there was a space character everywhere. I do'nt really know haha. Anyway, amazing game! I think it's my new favorite! :D

Yeah, the scoring system is wonky. I'll fix it after the jam for sure.

Really loved playing this game

Submitted

really cool concept, beautiful art and sounds.
Took me almost half an hour to fill out all translations. 

great game!

Beautiful artstyle, great gameplay mechanic (very similar to No Man’s Sky translator but that’s hardly any mechanic in that game) and the writing was hilarious!

“English, melon farmer!”

Really beautiful and charming game! Love the polish. I might not be smart, but this game made me feel like a genius for doing simple tasks.

Submitted

awesome game!  The art and music is great, the mechanics is simple, the challenge is to know the language , I really spent time trying to get the language right following clues. A mix of typing input and choices,  This is a fun, logic puzzle game!  Well designed game! congratulations! keep it up!

Submitted

Suuch an amazing game! I loved it! It seems that the scoring may be a bit skewed... but either way really fantastic job on this one!!

Amazing! Great concept. Excellent execution. You make it look easy to make games haha.  Somehow you created a whole world in a such a small space. I think I learned from this how important writing can be as well. The writing and world building makes this feel like it could spun off into a comedy cartoon series.

Also, is there any Anya Forger inspiration? Just curious.

Developer(+1)

Sorry, I’m not familiar with this character. I went with pink hair because it complemented Rosetta’s name. Is there something else that Anya does similarly?

Submitted (1 edit)

Np. Just a similar character archetype, young girl with pink hair who is a precocious smart-aleck. It's a current ongoing series and there is a meme of Anya with narrowed eyes that looks a bit like your character. It's certainly not a character type that was invented by that show though so just a coincidence.

Very nice art direction! The game play is also quite innovative.

One thing you could improve is the dictionary UI. If you scroll, it does scroll the web page. (Not that obvious to fix I guess) and clicking to drag the vertical bar makes it disappear so I had no way to read the words bellow.

The humor was pretty cool! ^^

Submitted

Wow! good job! i love the art, the sounds, UI, all of them! the concept is very original, nice work, congratulations!

Submitted

This game is wonderful! Its art, music and FX are really good, and the translation puzzles are really well designed. 

Only thing, i don't get where this fits the theme, but other than that, a really great entry!

Developer(+1)

On a larger scale (i.e., story), you have to build a connection with the alien folk. If we're talking about the gameplay itself, you have to connect words to their meaning using nothing but contextual clues.

It's a bit more abstract take on the theme but I think it still fits. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

you're totally right!

I just played so many games where the theme was very obvious, so that I couldn't think out of the box for a moment!

Gonna change my rating. Thanks!

Submitted

This game is so well crafted, the animations of the characters in the dialog is super satisfying. The fact you have a hole dialogue system that responds to your choices it really clever, especially with the slightly humorous remarks. I actually wanted to explore other areas by walking off, feels like this game has huge potential to be expanded!

Submitted

Wow, just wow! All around great game. Way to go!
