I like the riddles, and (i'm nut sure if you wanted to do it) jumping felt awesome.

Developer

okay, the jumping is a little bit too high. i wanted big jumps, but not so :)

Submitted

I honestly like it that way, it felt really nice. Espesially since at the beggining I felt that I will be able to jump only a little bit, but then I suddently soared!

Cute riddles and we liked that you can fly with the wizard :)

Developer

thank you! the wizard is magic, so he can fly. but not too wide!

Submitted

Weird but intereting idea, dunno if it's my thing tho

Developer

thank you for playing! it is only a little autumn-game

Submitted

This was a fun game to play!

One thing to note is that there's no limitations to how high you can fly, meaning you can go off screen, by doing this you can technically still 'fly' over the scarecrows - which reduces a bit of the excitement, but that's easy to solve! 

It was really fun and the puzzles were a nice challenge! 

Developer

when you fly over the scarecrow still the riddle comes. the x - position of the player is queried, not the y-position. thank you for playing!

Fun little game and a lovely concept. Here's some feedback:

- The riddle about a word starting with 'e', doesn't make much sense to me. An envelope can contain more than 1 letter (as in the object), and the word 'e' only contains one letter, so that should be the correct answer in my opinion.

- The third scarecrow UI is bugged, it won't stay open and the only way to read it is to keep walking in the wall (and it will flicker then).

- The riddle about a fragile word was worded a bit weird. I thought it was 'peace' because it sounds like 'piece', which I would think of when breaking things. But it was silence (which now makes sense, but the wording was a bit weird).
- The riddle about a room and taking up space was a little weird. Why isn't it air? I lost my final life because of this riddle :(


Anyway, good job on making a game. It's very cute and a nice idea. The animations look fun too :)

sorry that you lost the riddles. first i wanted to make input-fields but then i decided for multiple-choice. because it seems easier i made the answers more difficult. okay with the e and envelope is a little bit confusing, you are right

The quiz questions made me think. Really nice music. I've won by flying over everything :-)

Developer

you can't fly over the scarecrows, there is an if-statement with yours x- and xoff-position. yes, the music fits fine in this game, it is by VocalMix, i never heard of him before

Submitted

A nice game with good ideas, the game is really cozy and i love the music. but there are some bugs when you try to jump on some platforms.

Developer

what for bug jump on platform? i tested it, it worked fine. there is only one scarecrow, over which you must jump over, not go straight to it.

Submitted

Fun to play, i enjoyed it but did have a couple of issues, at one point i clipped out into ground when triggering a question and almost got stuck the second was a question activating and closing over and over without staying long enough to answer.


other then these few bugs it was a great little concept for a maybe larger future project? thank you for sharing

Developer

ohh, as i tested it it worked fine. try to go normal to the scarecrow or the other way jump over it. when this jam would be longer i had to make more than one level.

Developer

on the critical scarecrow you must jump over it
