Super sweet game! Really imaginative way to implement the mascots, loved how you used their lore. Great puzzles, and the writing had me grinning the whole time. The art and music are excellent, and the endings are really cute. Thoroughly enjoyed my time with this game!
Great little game.
Love the aesthetics.; they have a Maniac Mansion vibe to it. The puzzles were engaging and the time-travel theme is a great way to variate the scenery.
Really love this! I love the diorama-like environments and visiting the smoke box at different time periods is such a great idea (and anything that brings Chrono Trigger to mind will always get some points from me). All the depictions of the mascots were also super cute and it was a really sweet ending! It also felt really satisfying using knowledge from one era to solve a puzzle in another. Just a lovely time and I really liked the music too!
I play RPG maker games a lot and I always love when I see devs use the toolkit to make games outside the RPG genre. This game was incredibly fun. The time traveling mechanic was super impressive. Seeing the environment change throughout the years was really interesting and a lot of the puzzles were super satisfying. Well done!
Great adventure game, loved the time travel and I think the puzzles were really well spread throughout the different years. I think you nailed the old school adventure game look and feel, good job!
I looove time travel in games and you did it so perfectly! Plus the DSD’s “nothing happened” was hilarious XD
That game was friggin cute. I love your sprite work, especially at the end! For a puzzle game with multiple eras to warp to, the game felt super streamlined, and so I never felt stuck at any moment. (Although I did require a hint for the slogan puzzle!) Fantastic job!
Such a great little game! The scope of it was just the right size, able to fit in an entire story arc to a satisfying conclusion. The puzzles were neat as well, and a wonderful use of time travel.
a really fun puzzle game. being able to time travel to see different eras of the restaurant was a great way to use the prompt of mascots introduced over time. the art is really cute and the mascots designs are great
Really enjoyed this one. The time travel mechanic really helped make the most of the explorable space. Unlocking more time periods was a fun progression.
Had such a good time with this one. The time travel was a lot of fun as an adventure game mechanic and a great way to give us a look at all the different Smoke Box eras. Scanning the objects was a lot of fun, too. Noticing the items, then getting the reveal of your take on the associated mascot. Great stuff all-round!
Great job! This did a great job capturing the feeling of old school adventure games. II really loved the time travel aspect and the way you included each of the mascots so that they'd all have their time in the spotlight.
I Expected A Great Game... and I got it! This was very fun and cute. It was interestingly simplistic in some ways but complicated in others. I feel like you had a really good concept and created a game that creatively checked all the boxes of what you wanted to achieve.
Great depictions of all the mascots. The time travel was a cool mechanic, and I enjoyed the mascot lore.
This ended up giving me quite a few chuckles. Very fun integration of the characters and plot elements.
Thanks for playing! Seeing the characters and theme that everyone comes up with on stream is definitely is my highlight every year!
