This is brilliant!! I literally went on YouTube to learn how to do slider puzzles because I was having so much fun and felt so determined to beat this thing!!!! The art style was minimal in a way that was still charming, the sliding mechanics had just enough juice to them, and for almost every mini-puzzle, there was some call-back to the theme of "join together". Definitely one of if not my favorite game throughout this jam! Well done. (p.s. the music slaps!!! Good job on that too!!)

Hey, this is one of my favs this jam, really gj! I like the music and graphics which reminded me of the old pokemon games, I love the original slider puzzle and this is a really interesting take on it. I wonder how many tiles you can set up in a full game.
If I got it right(?) there are tiles outside the 9 you can move, thats a bit confusing because you dont expect that at the start, so I was stuck for a while, and mid game that just makes you remember those side tiles instead of watching them with tab, so maybe consider a way to explain it better
Thanks for playing, glad to hear you liked the music and art! We tried including the tiles really early on (as the first thing you need to do!) to make sure that players would understand that it's a part of the game. Ideally we would wanna build up cut scenes setting up the world's state, but there's only so much to do in 48 hours
Well come on, simple but good art, very good and unique mechanics, fun to play, good secrets and good puzzles! It's great to move the artifact and solve the puzzles! My only feedback is that it could make the commands and possibilities more intuitive as I was thinking at first that I had a button to deliver items and that it didn't work or something like that, but overall it's a very well done game!
Wow know this is incredible. Doesn't even seem like a 48hour jam game! Feels really polished and good to play, love the shaking when you move the tiles. I think this has potential to be one of the top 20 in the jam. Very well done with this!!
Great game!
Reminded me of minit in terms of style and writing, but reminded me of one of the final dungeons of Skyward Sword in terms of gameplay. What a wonderful combination!
Really don't have much to say constructively here. Would like to see it expanded upon and polished even more. Maybe it'd be better if you could click & drag the tiles, even multiple spots if there's space?
Loved it.
Really liked the noir vibe of this game compared to all the other vibrant-colored games I've been playing. Really fun puzzles to solve as well, great job!
I found the winner! This is by far my favorite game of this jam! I am very impressed! It was a DELIGHT to solve this game! I did find a bug where I got stuck inside the rocks and had to restart though.
Well done! Bravo!
Had some really good puzzles. The blocks sliding is really well done. Love the art also.
The overall presentation of this game is great
I really like this mechanic
I love the originality of the concept and the puzzles. Definitely at the top of my list!
Oh gosh.. That's amazing!
Don't want to give spoilers, but that thing on the middle of the game was brilliant!
Beautiful art, original gameplay, great puzzles, and a satisfying sense of complete when you get it.
That's one of the best ideas I saw on the jam. It's unfortunately the web version isn't working tho.
5/5
I really loved this game! Although I was stuck at 6 sliders after I met the ocean guy - I wanted to continue and spent about 10 minutes trying to figure it out. (I guess I also skipped the guy with the scan..)
My only complaint is that I got no sound, and you might want to consider starting near the top right corner, since I was sliding through all of the squares, confused, until I reached the 2nd slider.
Nontheless, this was a very fun, well put game!
Very well done!
Edit: I just realized my headphones were bugged so it wasn't a bug in your hand.
Haha try our game again the sound is great! We wanted players to start in the bottom left because it would force them to get used to moving the slider around until they got the second piece. Slider 6 was definitely the highest difficulty jump. There's two quests really available -- finishing the river and the QR -- any a lot of players ended up getting stuck here. Thanks for playing!
I don't think anyone else can think of such a unique main mechanic, and I think that really separates this game from many others. My only complaint is I would have liked the purpose of the game starting out to be made a little more clear to allow an easier onboarding for the player. Other than that, great game.
I would appreciate your rating/comments on my game as well, to see what we can improve. Thanks for making this.
This is my favorite game in the jam so far - easy 5s in every category, I'd give you 6s if I could.
Absolutely brilliant work. The main mechanic was implemented perfectly, the puzzles were super satisfying to solve, everything worked exactly like you expect it to, the music is great, the art is adorable - not to mention that the main mechanic is so creative!
Amazing job, really.
What an absolutely incredible game! Using the slider mechanic on the world map was incredibly fun and unique! I loved interacting with all of the different people (and fish!) in the individual sections, and bringing them together at the end felt super satisfying! Plus the greyscale pixel art was super charming! You guys really deserve more ratings! Awesome work!
