Lovely little world, beautiful artstyle, I really enjoyed the water temple.

I hope the decision to make the lute “out of key” with the rest of the world was deliberate, because I found it so striking. I wanted to join in with everybody’s music, but I didn’t like the way it sounded when I did, so I found myself more often sitting there silently and listening to everyone else stomp and plonk. Such a unique feeling!

The wind whipping through the pixellated grass is so, so lovely.

The final 3 puzzles are so good!

Super cute! You’ve done a good job of balancing the grid-based mechanics with real-time platforming, I didn’t even realise it was grid-based until about halfway through

This is a really cool and unique puzzlescript game!

Brilliant puzzle!

Wonderful message!

One of my favourite examples of this is when textures and sprites are just PNGs, and you can edit them and put your own silly characters into a game. It’s so annoying when all the assets are packaged into a big monolithic black box file!

I like the mechanic of gaining height only one tile at a time, and the bat is so cute!

I made a custom level - I tried to make it as hard as possible! Good luck to anyone who tries it out (requires the source code) 😄

I love “construction” puzzlescript games like this. The visuals don’t really match the mechanics (buckets fusing together?) but the mechanics are awesome, and all the levels are great.

Very cool mechanics and level design - I especially liked 12, 16 and 17, they all had fun tricks.

The controls sometimes felt sticky and unresponsive, I believe this is because of the “again” keyword. You can improve the responsiveness by lowering “again_interval” in Puzzlescript 🙂

Super fun! I love how the map structure & checkpoint system work together, its very unique! Backtracking is often quicker than resetting to the center, so you get to experience the challenge of moving through each room from multiple directions.

The lack of tutorial might be a turn-off for some people (the difficulty starts very high, there is no “easy” rooms) but I encourage those people to keep at it! Ignore all the garlic and just explore :)

The art is really cute, too!

This is really fun! Tip for those playing on MacOS: if your keyboard inputs are getting eaten every time you hold down the Z key, inspect the HTML and search for <textarea id="codo_textarea"> and delete it. Fixed the issue for me 🙂

Now, to keep climbing…

Finding the gold medal route in level 2 is a lot of fun. Cool game!

I believe rolling barrels against the screen edge is a glitch, you won’t ever need to do that to solve a puzzle.

For the puzzle in the screenshot - try doing things in a different order 😁

A lovely tribute to a fascinating place! Love all the fun facts and visual polish, and the puzzles get much harder than I was expecting them to - Ardbeg and Bowmore took some real thinking!

Here’s a medium difficulty custom level! Hopefully there’s no cheese 😬

(Code has one less “break” than the screenshot, see comment below 😈)

The last two levels are so so good, wow!

Only three levels in, but I already love this!

It’s a complex set of mechanics, but the visuals make them all feel natural and intuitive - really impressive!

Really cool, and such a nice length - each level presents a unique idea

This is great, the L/R mechanic is a fun twist on snake sokoban!

A little bit tricky to visually parse at first, but very satisfying and challenging once you work out what everything is!

This is really nice, the soundtrack is lovely too!

I’m stuck on chapter 4, would love a hint if someone has one 😅 Here’s my (incorrect?) understanding of the rule, in ROT13:

Bar bs gur cynargf vf n “yvne” naq jnagf bar zber be yrff guna vgf pbybhe jbhyq hfhnyyl fhttrfg - V qba’g xabj ubj gb gryy juvpu cynarg vf gur yvne gubhtu?

Very smooth difficulty curve, the later levels get tricky!

Love the sense of humour too - “they no longer ask me that” followed by the next level, was a great moment.

Really fun - I liked how you had to return to previously solved rooms and reconfigure them throughout the puzzle

Very satisfying to solve, and the one-word answer made me chuckle when I found it 😄

Good luck with Enigmarch!

This was fun!

I enjoyed all the puzzles, though sometimes the movement speed felt somewhat slow. It felt great in the earlier levels, but when the levels became larger and harder (more resets) the slowness started to become noticeable for me.

Very minor thing - it’d be great if you could hold down the push/pull button and walk into a crate to grab it. Sometimes I would press the button slightly too early and it wouldn’t grab because I wasn’t close enough yet. Maybe I’m just impatient 😅

I love how the 10th level felt like a combination of all the mechanics learned in earlier levels, but still required some brainpower to put them together in the right order, it was a nice way of ending the demo.

Good luck with the full version, this is a great concept!

My best guess is that the “secret puzzle” is the one in the thumbnail, which doesn’t feature in the game. I could be wrong though!

Deleted my other comment after reading MetaMetaPuzzle’s solution, because I was embarrassed by how badly I misunderstood the puzzle, but its too funny not to share. Hope you get a laugh out of this 😂

So good!!

Nice variety between all the puzzles - I think the trees took me the longest to work out, or maybe the castle. Really fun!

I found the secret room with the extra blocks and marbles haha. Its a lot more fun to not use the secret room, though, in my opinion - there’s more combat, and more soccer ball!

Here’s a vid if you’d like to see the run!

😏

Fun wordplay with a funny twist.

If anyone would like to borrow my username, go ahead 😜

Abstract yet logical mechanics, had fun with this one!

This game is really delightful, I love the visuals and the feeling of exploration, it makes me nostalgic for early freeware GameMaker games, it’s a vibe I really enjoy.

It’s especially fun to speedrun! The fact that almost all enemy encounters are optional makes it fun to plan routes, and it feels great mastering the soccer ball to get through fights quickly.

I had some trouble getting started with this one, but I’m glad I stuck at it - the final alien is so cleverly designed!

The background music sounds a bit like a spooky/spacey cover of Silent Night! 🎄

Really nice! The mechanics feel intuitive, and I didn’t encounter any softlocks while playing.

The directional-wand mechanic had the potential to feel annoying, but the level design really supports it, making sure the player always has somewhere to manoeuvre around easily before entering a puzzle section.

Really lovely homage to the jumper series, lots of cool new mechanics, and consistently good level design!

This was a fun escape room!

Just a tip for everyone: pressing the “enter” key won’t submit your answer, you have to actually click the “enter” text :)
