Man this game was just AWESOME, I really had a blast, this is the kind of exploration game I enjoy! Vibes are so nice and chill with a tad bit of mystery which is just such a good vibe more games need! I feel like this took me a little longer than most as when I saw the message about beans I just took it as a threat to watch out in case there's any evil beans and forgot about it a minute later XD. But after going around more and seeing the message again it hit me that that weird cylinder thing I saw a while back might be the solution! And so it was :)
Also then realizing you have no more options to explore so just hurling yourself off the world only to find it loops seamlessly, wow! Everything is so expertly designed so that the player is bound to try and do something to progress as a last resort when out of options and it just always works!
I haven't even mentioned how impressive it is that the non euclidean geometry was done in 4 DAYS!
Apart from maybe adding some better footstep sounds (also change based on the material you're walking on) and maybe a bit of ambiance or particles to liven things up (but keeping the mystery and chill vibe so maybe not too many particles), it's just great!
I think the only real issues are outside of the game, the thumbnail mainly, I think it actually fits the vibe of the game but it just isn't that eye catching, I'd do some work on the text to make it stand out more and maybe a new image (of the library perhaps with some blur? I'm no graphic designer but I bet it could pull in more people in as they are sleeping on this)
Really awesome work, you've made puzzles and exploration just perfectly paced! (of course I got all 6 items)
Thank you so much!!! Dynamic footsteps would be a great addition, I would have definitely looked into that if I had more time. I'll take your advice on the thumbnail and see if this improves the clickthrough rate. I really appreciate you giving honest and useful feedback like that! :3
Very cool puzzles.
You do get lost easily though, I think maybe making the side walls of the library have different color/patterns would serve as a good reference for direction.
Also, some portal has a small bug where if you walk in then walk back, you can go into a black 2-block room.
The level design is so stunning! Playing it has me absolutely thrilled—running through those intricate mazes is such a blast. The loop rooms blew my mind. Though, I’m a bit directionally challenged, so getting lost was a tiny bummer, haha. But seriously, you did an amazing job!
Really cool and mind-bending world you created. It was fun to explore and find all the items.
Great stuff! Love non-euclidian games, congrats on implementing all of this in 4 days. We got all 6 items! Laggy as heck on my laptop though haha but worth it.
Come and rate our game too and we'll be super grateful <3
cool and fun game, and nice interpretation of the theme! Great job!
The creativity & mechanic of this game is absolutely extraordinary. I am so shocked that this game is made in only 4 days!!! I played for much longer and found out about so many interesting mechanics(And eventually got every item!!!)
The gameplay is definitely one of the most creative mechanic I have seen by far. As a developer who have no experience of 3d, this is an amazing creation with the space anomalies. I really loved the loop and inner loop concept---the realization that I am walking in an infinite loop after I literally just walked in was really fun and surprising.
Great job!
Congrats on finding them all!!! I'm glad you liked it. It's always fun to experiment with interesting mechanics.
Really enjoy the game loop, nice use of messing with perspective and hiding of items. Unfortunately couldn't find them all, but I think the use of space was well done, don't know if it was intentional but there was a gap on the wall leading into a blue room that I couldn't get through.
Yes indeed, that little blue hole in the wall is intentional. There is a way to enter. Non-Euclidean geometry can warp scale too ;)
That tiny blue door on the floor is such a tease, dude. I can feel my brain overheating. Great game, great music, impossibly good level design. Like, how do you even start to make a level like that?
love the sound design
Interesting game!
Loved your game, found 5/6 items!! Also, looks like we both made games about looping spaces :D
Thanks! Loved your game too
Havent managed to find everything but i really liked the game especially the art style and music, its really chill
