How does your game fit the theme?
It’s about a time loop where every time you touch the water or press the 'E' key, you go back to the beginning — and it also plays with the word 'Pool', which is the reverse of 'Loop'.

Such a fun and creative puzzle game and super addictive! I think I solved some puzzles not the intended way. 

Developer

Since it was my first game jam, there were some design mistakes, but thank you very much for the feedback.

Such a fun puzzle game! When I saw the artstyle I did not know what to expect from it, but playing it is so fun! Such simple graphics but the gameplay loop is very good.  Nice job! I would love to hear your opinion on my submission as well :)

Developer

Of course, I’ll make sure to check out your submission as well. Thank you very much

pretty fun puzzles, i had a couple of rooms with water timers where i just walked to the flower and solved it,  and it felt unintentional, but still i enjoyed it a bunch!

Developer

Thank you so much for the review! I totally understand what you're saying about some levels being too easy, but we learn from our mistakes, right? Since this was my first game jam, I'm proud of what I made, knowing that next time I'll do better. Thanks a lot!

i liked so much !!!!
is simply but very promising
Good Luck 

Developer

thank you. im glad you like <3

Such an incredible game. It felt like each level had a different challange. Also really nice how you picture the story of this game and the titles are really amazing! Congrats!

Developer

thank you !!

Very solid! Once you get the hang of it you solve the levels pretty fast but that's a sign of solid game design. Definitely deserves to be expanded upon!

Neat little game, congratulations! I personally got stuck on level 10, and had to put it down after several attempts (simply to go rate some more games), but it seems like you had a clear vision for the game and executed it according to that vision.

The intro did well to introduce the concept of why we were collecting roses, but it may have been nice just to elaborate on that a little more, but I can understand that time constraint may have played a factor.

One little critique, it would have been nice to have been able to hold down a movement key to repeat the movement on a set timer. That way I wouldn't have to spam a direction key for multiple movement, but also avoid the pitfall of moving the player on too quickly and inadvertently messing up the whole level.

Well done for submitting, best of luck with the scoring!
