Incredible art and ambiance in such a short time ! The concept was kinda hard to understand for me but it is a very interesting mechanic.

Incredible, so satisfying to solve everything. I would like a full version! I was impressed enough to wishlist your other game, thanks for the fun!

Submitted

Really well made game, but I don't think my dolphin brain can comprehend the puzzles unfortunately... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Submitted

Awesome art direction! The puzzles are cool :)

Really impressive work, although the game is very hard. I would never have guessed that an unassuming generic switch in a room could affect things in other rooms, so when the only way to return to the hub is to go back in time (therefore undoing the switch press, meaning there are no visible changes in the hub), that just left me lost.

Another thing is that after placing two of the apples and figuring out that they must represent a melody, the game didn't acknowledge when I tried every combination of 3 notes (that had those apple notes) in front of the box with the key.

Even with the ingame hints I had to look at the solutions on the store page and even then I got tired before reaching the end... I guess these things are to be expected when devs make an ambitious and professional quality puzzle game in two days :P

At first, I really didn’t understand how to use the time travel mechanic. I ended up rewinding all the way back to before the first tutorial and going through everything again from the beginning, and that was what finally made it click for me — I think I rushed ahead without fully taking in the text the first time.
The visual quality and the immersion of the world were so strong that they made me want to keep thinking, retrying, and pushing through even when it got difficult. I’m really glad I made it to the end, because it ended up being a very satisfying experience

This is amazing, I can see the vision and I can see a game like this being published. I figured out the time travel puzzle but couldn't figure out where the other apple was. I also saw Mr.error lol.
 I think my biggest feedback is: for the tutorial part, I needed to be rail roaded into following the worms instructions. Sometimes I didn't understand he even asked something of me until a few minutes later when I apparently did the task he wanted me to do.
I think its amazing what you managed to do in such a short period of time. Keep up the good work!

I honestly have no idea what is happening hahahahaha, my brain is way too smooth for this it seems

But the art and style is completely immaculate

THE VISUALS are amazing and I love the vibes soo much. Great job!

Submitted(+1)

I think my brain might be too small for this game, or I'm too sleepy. The art, sound and vibes are really cool tho, I will definitely come back tomorrow to try again <3

Submitted

The sleep definitely helped lol, managed to beat it this time. Fantastic game!!

Wow. Amazing. The atmosphere is stunning. The CRT effect and the flute mechanic reminds me of Animal Well. The fact that you can actual move throught time with save slots is very creative. Loved the music, a jewel!
(loved the Zelda 2 reference)

High level of difficulty but also high level of creativity and really solid game design all around. Really, really good!

Developer

Thanks! I also played your game, love it

Submitted(+1)

The visuals are stunning! Everything is so smooth I love it! Unfortunately my brain is not braining

Developer

Thanks 🙏

There's a full walkthrough on the page if you want a more chill gameplay without struggling

Also played your game, great job!

I love how everything blended well together here. You guys work well as a team, and you should totally keep making games, and I'll be on the lookout for them. Very talented group! Good work!

Developer

Thanks for the kind words! Will check out your game soon too

Submitted(+1)

SO COOL! happy you managed to get it in just in time haha (was shocked to see anyone submitted after us!).

I played after tutorial was added so I didn't have the troubles others did, the only bit I got stuck at was the blue room because apparently I just didn't acknowledge the hint on a certain (no spoilers here ofc) object ?? I'd say maybe it was glitched and didn't show, but as soon as I used the solution spoilers it worked so I might just be silly :')

Sometimes jumping to a freeze frame wouldn't save everything correctly but I think that's just the nature of making something (esp something so ambitious and clever) in such a short period of time haha. So impressive!!

I also got a little thrown off by the guy in the empty room and struggled to accept that it actually wasn't anything but yeah just wowowow how did you do this in such a short period of time?! The tutorial definitely made it a v enjoyable and complete experience

Hi, It was a bit of a heart attack. We uploaded the game but forgot to actually submit it to the jam. Now we have this leet badge "1 second before the deadline"

The second heart attack happened when I realized the web version wasn't working because I messed up some file paths in the final moments. God bless admins for allowing bugfixes


Thanks for playing and testing the new tutorial!

Honestly, I still can't believe everything actually works. We didn't even have time to test these mechanic.


Will check your game soon!

Submitted(+1)

hahah damn you've got me kind of wanting to risk it all for that badge...

but seriously, congrats again on such a great game! also, just wanted to say that we've just updated our game to have a browser version just in case you'd looked and been unable to play before or anything :3

Developer(+1)

Small update: 

1) we finally managed to sleep.

2) added small tutorial at start

3) you can find solution for all puzzles on game's page under spoiler (red block)

Submitted(+1)

Really loved the art, very polished look to it! 

I was a bit confused as to the gameplay 

Music was really atmospheric!

Developer

Hi! Thanks

Yeah, puzzle gameplay without proper testing probably wasn’t the best choice for a jam. But here we are 🤤

If you're interested in the solutions, we added a full walkthrough on the game's page.


Will check your game soon!

How is it physically possible to make this in 2 days, my mind is blown, but i wish there was some sort of concrete tutorial i got lost halfway in the game, awesome game though it looks really fun judging from the screenshots! 

Developer

Hi, thanks!

We just added a better tutorial. I hope it helps explain how time travel works here

But if you just chill gameplay , there's now a full walkthrough on the game's page


We’ll check out your game soon!
