really unique art and setting and a really good take on the limitation. I showed my dad and he says he loved it, so that's the highest comment i can tell anyone here

Developer(+1)

Thank you soooo much for playing and even showing it to your family!! We are soooo happy to hear that!

I really love the morbid theme and gorgeous art.  I did not like not being able to take things out of the box and repack them. Maybe it would have made the game too easy? But the limitation feels a bit forced. 

Developer

Yeah there's definitely a middle ground between having no access to inside the box and free access, some item with limited usage would solve it quite easily. Sadly we didn't have enough time to work on the balance of the game's difficulty, might work on it some more after the game jam rating period. Thanks for the feedback!

Perfect game really! But lets just be honest, you were planning for it to be people but you changed it to monsters because you wanted it to be lest violent! 10/10!

Developer

shhhhhhh, don't tell them that ;-D

Cool game!

Really cool game, love the monster designs. Got a bit stuck at the second monster but wanted to keep going just to see more of the designs.

Developer

We only have 2 levels, but we still plan to create new levels. A small tip, try using more torch :-)

really solid game!! it took me some time to understand that I had to use tools, but after was really fun :) - nice ideas about part transformations and artstyle is top! good job

Interesting game! I like the idea, and the concept, I just couldn't get fitting the parts in. I tried for a while, but to no avail. I guess I haven't tried out the tools enough? The art is great, however, and the thumbnail especially caught my attention! The music gets a bit repetitive, considering I made many attempts, but other than that I think this game has great potential! 

(Also the physics were bugging out big time ^~^)

Developer(+1)

Thanks, the guidance on the tools are very weak sadly, we were a bit short on hand in terms of UI (and as you can see SFX too)

Submitted(+1)

This was weirdly soothing to play. Don't know what that says about me, haha.

Very cool concept! Great art and overall good feel, too. I wish I could have moved stuff around after I placed them in the box, but it was neat to watch them interact as physics objects.

Developer(+1)

To be honest, we tried to use the way that the objects cannot move anymore after they are put in the box to make the game more tricky. It seems that if we would like to continue working on it, we need to find a better interaction way for balancing between the user experience and how tricky the game is. Thank you for your advice and thanks for playing!!

Fun Game, Great art and monster  design. I enjoyed testing around the various interactions.

Awesome idea and execution! The game was quite challenging to me, but the beautifully morbid monsters made me want to keep playing to see the next monster! :)

Developer

It is quite challenging. To be honest, I cannot get them done for the first several times as well lol. But we are aiming for the box that would put everything just right. I'm glad that you still like the game, although we set up everything so tricky. Thank you for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Everything is beautifully drawn — really impressive! The only thing I didn’t like was the music, which gets repetitive a bit too quickly. Also, the physics could use some improvement, especially when stacking objects on top of each other.Overall, great work — just a few tweaks and it could be even better!

Developer

Thank you for playing the game! I agree with you the bgm sounds a little bit annoying after reporting several times.  Unfortunately, we couldn't find anyone good at music this time :(

Submitted(+1)

I love the premise, the art & music are really good. Unfortunately I wasn't able to fit the first creature in the box because I didn't understand how to use the tools (the hacksaw applied automatically, I guess?).

Maybe some instructions on how to use the tools would help, but this game is promising!

Developer

Thank you for playing! The tools would be applied when they are placed on the objects. Some of the objects would have not only one tool that could interact with. However, it seems like we do need to update the instructions and make it clearer. Thank you for your advice!

Game is pretty tough but i loved how you had to choose between leaving something as is and altering it with a tool

Submitted(+1)

Super creative idea! Had a bit of a learning curve but I really enjoyed it once I learned how to play

Developer

I'm glad you did! We had concerns that we might have made the game too hard
