the mechanics are really unique and it was definitely challenging!

I really enjoyed this game! I ended up quitting at a difficult level though.. the fact that there's no music makes me think of an eerie silence where the game would be taking place. I personally enjoy games that make me think, and this one sure didn't disappoint! On the level I got stuck on, I discovered something, but was unable to figure out how to use it to my advantage. But yeah, great job!

Great puzzle game with interesting level design. I really enjoyed the experience,  I think the level design is just right in terms of difficulty, and the general aesthetic works really well. Well done!

Like many others have said, the lack of sound almost seems to fit the weird ambience of whatever this game is. Everything else about seems to just be a good game, the additional info section seems to be more absurd than the game itself.

I enjoyed it, didn't manage to get all the way through, but if its anything like the others then the level I died on had a simple solution that I just didn't happen to figure out.

Good job!

The lack of music actually adds to the minimalist eeriness, imo. All in all just a good game

I like the puzzle concept, You did several levels and I happy I finish all of them. Good job.

Personally, there was just too much sound in it for me to consider it good :P

Imagine playing a game where the first time you start a level, there is a ultra loud horn sound that goes right into your ears XD

This is a really solid puzzle game.  Think you might lose some ratings for it not being bad enough.  Great work though!

cool game, dunno what it doing in SBIG jam

A really good concept and a great execution. The puzzles were enjoable, the levels themselfs and the difficulty were on point. It's a great short game for a Jam, there's nothing really bad about it. 

Overall, you managed to create a nice little game in the time given, but unfortunately I don't see how it fits the jam theme and modifier.

No please don´t put all of the statues in my house

Also, I need to agree with the comment below, doesn’t feel “so bad it’s good”, but its a good puzzle game

I'm going to do this feedback a little backwards and lead with the conclusion: this doesn't have the feel of a "so bad it's good" game. It feels like an earnest game with a few minor flaws.

Doing a puzzle game was an interesting choice, it's not something I've seen often, and it was pretty fun! The statue mechanic seemed new and fresh to me, but I'm not sure if it's been done before- I don't really play puzzle games much.

The difficulty was about right for me; it was challenging but not frustrating or tedious, and I found it enjoyable. However, puzzle game fanatics will probably be left wanting. I don't think there's a way to win here, and for a jam game it's probably better to err on the easy side.

I do like how forgiving this game was with undos, though I missed one of the hints and couldn't figure out any way to go back to it. Fortunately I was able to figure things out. It would have been nice to have an indication of how far along in the game I was, though this is probably the "oh god there are so many games to try and I have a busy week ahead" talking.

I do agree with one other commenter who figured the last two levels were easier than the preceding ones.

It really needs music.

I'm kind of on the fence about the graphics. On one hand, they're simple but visually pleasing. Kind of Game Boy Color-ish, actually. However, I also found it very hard to tell which was the statues were facing, and some environments kind of just blended together. The rock also looks more like grass, though it was visually distinctive enough to tell apart from the background.

Overall- and you should take this as praise because it is- I think this game is too good for this jam.

It really needs music.


That's exactly why this game is bad lol

What a fun little puzzle game! I really enjoy things like this. Can't see where the "so bad it's good" comes in, though

I pressed enter by accident..
