Really creative and unique take on the concept! I really love the art design and approach! Great work!
Very well done! One of the few games I played on here that I felt like I had to fully complete. I really liked the pacing of it, and the art/sounds/overall vibes worked really well together!
I love how hectic it feels to try manage all the loops perfectly, feels SUPER satisfying when you perfect it for a moment. super cute art and dialogue too!
edit: okay I went back for more because I wanted to see how much dialogue there was and oh my god there's a LOT! wow! I love these 2 sillies
We really appreciate that you gave it another go for the dialogue, we put lots of effort into that part! Thank you for playing!!
the assets and interactions are soooooo cute! fun game concept too :D
The visuals are absolutely stunning, and the gameplay really made me stop and think — in a good way. There's something quietly powerful about it.
If you're exploring other jam games, we'd be happy if you gave ours a try too!
The art direction for this game is incredible ! I love how well all of the assets fit together, and the sound design also compliments it quite nicely ! It took a while for me to get used to the controls, but it was fun to manage all the bars and get them to sync up. The characters' interactions are also pretty fun :)
This is very cute! Love the art and ambiance. A bit confusing at first but satisfying once you get more used to it. Excellent work!
A bit difficult to understand at first, but I really like it. The artwork is fantastic. Great game
Wow, this concept is fun!
At 1st it was a bit hard for me to understand but I got it in the 2nd cycle, and it's good to see the instructions on the corner right. I appreciate that the items are activated from the start, in my first gameplay I didn’t touch them, in the second it was challenging to get the 3 bars without items but you really win more points haha
This game can be very short if you just focus on the gameplay but I did another run just to see the dialogues between the characters and it’s funny, I don’t know how much there are because in the second gameplay I let the game play by itself and I saw more dialogues than I expected, it’s good to see the magician get a little more confident through the cycles haha. And this is another thing I like, you can just enjoy the dynamic between the characters and do nothing else because the lines will overlap enough times to beat the game without your input, so this can be enjoyed in 2 ways :)
The visuals are cute, I like the animation and the end screen is great, it’s a cozy game and I had a great time playing this!
(And nice you did make another game after shovel jam! You got my follow ^_^)
omg this is such a sweet and thoughtful comment >♡< thankusm for taking the time to share your experience !! It makes me so happy to hear you gave it more than one go and noticed all the little details! I wish I had more time to make more sprites for the characters >< Can't wait to give your game a try too!
Watching the characters having dialogues got me curious and glad I played it again :)
Ah, if you are going to play my game, don’t expect much fun, I made it a bit frustrating due the lack of time. I couldn't make it as originally planned and it has an annoying bug that makes it more frustrating haha…
This is such a cute concept. I really enjoyed it: the art is impeccable and the puzzles were clever. The mechanics took a little while to get used to. I would have loved more lore, but thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between the two characters, as it is. I feel like this could evolve into a cozy game I would love to play. Huge props!
Thanks for your feedback! We’re considering taking these characters and expanding on them in a different game!
Super cute game! Love the art style, the mechanics are a bit confusing at first, it might be good if there was a proper tutorial. Loved the story as well, unfortunately I soft locked at one during the texts and was unable to progress past "is it okay if I get another enchantment,". Would also be great if there was a bit more variety! Overall though cute and fun game, I liked it a lot!
You’re absolutely right there should have been a proper tutorial. We wanted to add one but ran out of time! Thank you for playing!
lovely art style!! it was a bit dizzy XD, but fun!
Really cute and fun idea! Its a shame that it was so difficult, but its probably just me since i usually suck at these types of games ahaha
As the artist, I was super bad at the game too haha! >< Thank you so much for playing!
Interesting game, unfortunately took me many tries to even figure out what I was even meant to do. The help button is a bit too hidden to realise its even there.
But overall not a bad little time waster once you know how to actually play
Sorry about the confusing gameplay! We barely had time to add in the help button at the last minute after we got feedback from friends that the game was too hard to understand. We’ll try to focus more on that part next time!
Really enjoyed this! Trying to align the three colors for a long time is a fairly challenging task, first time it took me a few tries but the second time I restarted I managed to clear the game after two conversations. Also great and cute artwork!
Thanks for giving it a few tries! We tried to balance the difficulty of the loops on the last day so we knew it would be a tad challenging for newcomers ^^;;
Amazing game! It was kinda hard to get at first but as soon as I understood the mechanics I was hooked: it’s incredible how you managed to make such a fun challenge with just three circles that need to be aligned! The wonderful graphics and cute narrative also helped a lot, as well as the soothing music in the background: really a neatly packaged fun little game, well done! :)
Thank you for playing! Everyone worked hard on polishing up the look and feel of the game as much as we could
this game is SO adorable, also very fun to manage the loops! Awesome game!
Artwork and audio really cute. I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to do though...
Really liked the game mechanic and the sound effects, and the characters look soo good! I get the pastel color palette vibes but I wish the colored loop sections had a little more contrast compared to the background so they're easier to see. Still a great game!
We tried a few different color combos but definitely missed the mark on making it obvious which loop was selected because we decided to prioritize sticking to the palette. Thanks for the feedback and for playing!
The art is super cute! The hammer joke made me laugh out loud xd
