A very intriguing observation-based puzzle game! I really enjoyed the experience of following one clue to the next—it makes the whole process feel rewarding and immersive. I couldn’t quite figure out how to reach the ending, though, as each loop started feeling a bit too long by the end. Still, it’s a great concept, and I really liked it!
Thanks for the play! 😄 btw, I wanted to invite you to my discord: https://discord.gg/pXBuebn7WY It has a bunch of other devs. Not very active all the time but would love to see you there!
The game is really interesting would of been cool if when you hit the people they ragdoll or something, and easier throwing mechanic cause I don’t know where I am throwing if I want to throw far. And the end of the game was unexpected really cool ending not going to lie! Anyway good game!
Thanks for playing! We wanted to implement a ragdoll and/or falling animation as well as other animations too! We’ll probably update the game later on to include more fun things.
couldn't figure out the mystery but at least i can hit people
Isn’t hitting people all we want in the end?
ofc it is
Very nice concept and story!! It was really satisfying to just throw stuff haha xD. At first I was a little confused about the goal of the game, but once I figured it out, it was quite fun! The graphics are awesome and the audio fitted very well with the atmosphere!
I like that your base location on amusement park and it really fit well.
If possible, can you please rate my game and leave a comment too?
Love the story and the artwork! Took me a minute to figure out I had to throw things but once I did, it was really fun trying to prevent the disaster with trial and error
nice job!! And cool to see another ferris wheel game in the jam
Oh... Oh no, OverMan demands blood too! 🐙💚 very fun!
The story caught me from the beginning, poor little girl! Also, the art is amazing, and I loved how the camera followed the object once you threw it up; it looked very cool and smooth. Congratulations!
Thanks so much for playing!
We were so lucky to have the team we did. Talented Programmer and Artist!
The throwing mechanic was very fun to play around with but I couldn't grasp the true objective of the game at first. I think I've found what to do, but am not sure if I managed to do it properly or not because though I did prevent the disaster, I was still stuck on the ferris wheel seat.
Overall a fun little mystery and I loved the audio design as well. I spent way too long trying to throw items at people and seeing how far I can toss haha! Thanks for checking out our game as well!
You found our bug! 😖 It’s the one thing we couldn’t find out how to fix.
Thanks for playing!
I see! I gave it another go and I did finally manage to reach the end game screen this time!
Awesome! I just wanna say your username is lovely
This was super fun. At first I was just throwing things to hit people for a couple loops before I even realized I'm supposed to play the game lol. figuring out the mystery was interesting. the announcer is so persistent!
Thanks for playing! Glad the throwing mechanic was enough to get you engaged! Hahaha
This was an interesting game! Weirdly enough we had a similar "prevent the disaster" time loop game a couple years ago for the role's reversed jam, so we strayed from it this year, nice to know another game picked up the mantle! Figuring out the timeline was a little tricky, but doable, though the biggest hurdle I faced was aiming at things, since I have to look up to throw further, I can't see what I'm aiming at! D: who did the music? that was quite good! I like the art too!
Nice! Thanks for playing! We almost didn’t do a time loop; originally the game was based on riding the ferris wheel that was left running by the ride operator and trying to get his attention by throwing things. Music was licensed for use from Envato. Worked really well I think!
I almost figured out the mystery but I got distracted by seeing how many times I could hit people on the head with coins!
super fun!
It's very satisfying to throw stuff, and the audio + art is amazing.
I think I see the cause of the "thing", but I haven't figured out how to change it. I'd really like to see what happens. Can you give a small hint on what to try out?
Thank you so much for playing!
Here’s a hint: . . . .

An employee is using a kiosk to trigger the announcement about the opening ride. ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛
Thank you, I see! I was surprised how much I had to throw to prevent it from happening, so it was quite a challenge even when I knew what to do ^^ Fun stat screen!
