So, I found a glitch. On the fourth puzzle, I discovered I could just walk around the orange gate to the next puzzle.

But I really enjoy this! It's really cute!

I was really disappointed when it ended. The puzzles were fun, the graphics are gorgeous, the music was a mood. Only issue is that it is too short.

Beautiful graphics are your signature style and are definitely the strongest point of this entry. The puzzles were a little tricky to figure out, but I was able to figure everything out on my own.

The story didn't make much sense to me (especially the ending) and I was surprised that JD's music was kinda hard to hear even at 100% volume. I guess he was going for something atmospheric?

Criticisms aside, I'm glad that you were able to submit an entry that is a complete experience. Well done!

Ahhh you had to tease those derelict chambers!? The art here is amazing. Harold and Marsha are so adorable. I know this is selfish, but please, please complete these assets (along with Lucius and Therese), get them out of the way in time for next year, then just rock out a complete, full length jam game! Running around with these awesome little characters is so fun, we need more!!

Okay, so gameplay wise I do think a few tiny things could have improved the experience, short as it was. Basically a little feedback on the puzzle switches. The total lack of sound made things feel weird. The final puzzle of the last room I couldn't quite figure out if I had missed something earlier. A simple "wrong" buzzer when I picked the wrong sequence of suns would have clued me in and saved a lot of backtracking. 

Since it was such a big room with a lot of different mini-puzzles, I wasn't always sure that I had actually solved the prior one. Having either separate rooms, or having blocks preventing access to the previous part until you've solved the current puzzle would have helped orient me as a player. Still, didn't take too long to figure out, and was a fun ride for what it was.

Cute art, simple puzzles. Could’ve done with a bit more content and needs way more sound effects. (Like, nothing you interact with makes a sound its uncomfortably silent)

Overall: An adorable little gem with great graphics and puzzles. Just please prepare your assets beforehand so you can put your jam time into laying everything out! You're amazing but the amount of time and effort you put in always gets the better of you.

Gameplay: Really great puzzle mechanics. Would've been a 4 from me if I didn't get stuck on the last part of Chamber 4. I feel like had you used a different visual indicator other than the one that suggests you can interact with or look at an object I may have been able to get it easier.

Music: Love seeing original soundtracks! Cool to see JDSherbet could pitch in like he did for Kokoa. Some great ambient music going on here, and the sound design works really well too.

Comedy: Works well enough considering it's not very story-heavy.

Graphics: Your art is adorable and I love it so much. Potential best graphics of the jam. Will need to decide on my before voting ends but this could get it. 

Story: Marsha in the mysterious tower! Marsha has to get out of the mysterious tower! Not too much, but this is obviously more gameplay driven so it's forgivable.

Very Nice Graphics, well thought out puzzles, but wish game was longer with a proper ending.

This entry easily has the best art direction of this whole jam, but it does serve a reminder as to why I ultimately aimed for 2nd place graphics and not 1st place with my own entry. I noticed the little hints that showed you had a much bigger plans for this game and ultimately came to a short puzzle dungeon. I think you accomplished a lot with the available graphics on hand
