Ranked from 60 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

In what way does your game fit the theme?
We wanted to think outside of "two-gether," and instead combine all 26 letters of the alphabet together... because letters only have a greater meaning together than when they're apart: from A to Z, or i and ü. :)

We also wanted to challenge ourselves with our own secondary "theme": introduce a new mechanic, one that seamlessly combines story and gameplay together... to change the meaning of things, and find love <3.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yup! Everything's from nothing to something on our own (2 people), including music + art

Pull Yourself Together

Nice idea, and works pretty well. I like the story mixed with gameplay too. The controls are a little 'oldy' but it's a great puzzle game.

Some nice Baba Is You vibes, but unique enough which is good~ Also a cute story.

A bit of clunkiness surrounding movement/facing, but entirely acceptable in a game jam (especially considering the importance of facing).

Very nice overall~

Thanks so much for playing! <3

Yeah we wish we found out about the jam earlier to have the time. It’s alright though. :)

This is really clever. Took me a minute to understand the first level, I kept trying to manipulate the tutorial words and not the central letters. Overall very cute.

That was beautiful, the art and music really fit the game. I really liked the concept it remind it me a little bit of baba is you but with a different twist! Overall great execution on a really unique idea, very well done!

Thanks so much for playing our little game, and I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience! I'm especially glad to hear that you liked our handmade art & composed music. :)

We're blushing to hear it reminds you of Baba is You. 😊

We loved your game as well, and hope you continue to grow & develop it outside of this jam too! <3

Really neat idea and I enjoyed everything about it!

Well, almost everything; like many others, I found the controls a bit clunky.
One way to solve this could be to allow WASD for movements and Arrow Keys (or IJKL) for turning :)

Thanks so much for playing our game! I'm glad you enjoyed it all. :)

Thanks for your helpful suggestion on the controls! We did have a solution for it but ran out of time in the 5.5 days to fully implement it due to focusing on fleshing out the new mechanics for everyone to explore -- it's our first priority as we continue developing the game.

Really like the idea and the graphics, very unique idea, perhaps an easier first level as I got stuck for a few minutes, But overall a brilliant puzzle game.

Dimensional Perspectives

Thanks so much for playing our game! I'm glad you enjoyed it all. :)

I'm glad you figured out the mechanics nonetheless and made it to the end! It's a totally new mechanic, so it's good for us to know that maybe something easier would be helpful to ease the player in as you suggested.

We enjoyed playing your brilliant game as well, and hope you continue expanding it outside of this jam as well! <3

Wow, this project looks like more than just a game)

You have merged the great storyline with the great mechanic and it turned out really good. Only two people created all arts, programming, and music and this is amazing! I really want to play more levels!

At first, the controls seem to be a little unresponsive, but after the third level, I got used to them and made words pretty fast.

Great game :)
