Nah, it's okay. I wouldn't have read my comment either.

Just wanted to say I loved the game, that's all.

Hello!

I had to make an itch account just to comment how I absolutely LOVED playing this game. I'm not much of a puzzle game enthusiast, but what kept me intrigued throughout the puzzles was the curiosity to see what kind of unique or charming interaction would happen next. Before I even noticed, I managed to complete all 200ish puzzles the game had to offer, I was surprised how each puzzle was fair and well-designed, without relying on 50/50 scenario to solve it (I know designing puzzles is hard). I also found both the music and the presentation very charming.

There were just a couple things that made me feel a bit stupid.

1. I didn't think of checking the sign posts after solving puzzles to check what they had to say. Maybe I'm on the same wave length as a typical game journalist and I need some kind of a big, fat NPC to say: "IF YOU WANNA READ THIS SIGN POST, YOU BETTER SOLVE THE PUZZLE FIRST! THAT'S THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE!"

2. I found the warp zone redundant. Let's say I wanted to get some Fish power and I start from the museum entrance. The locations I could warp to are just a short walk away, yet the inn, which is further away, does not have a warp. Maybe warping as a menu option in general would have been more efficient?

3. It took me too long to figure out to interact with the girl at the inn from behind the counter to get a new puzzle. I found it a little off-putting, since that was the only interaction in the entire game, where talking to an NPC from a specific angle was a necessity.

4. This is just me, but I don't like puzzles where the solution is a symmetrical shape. Those just felt a bit too easy.

5. The looong gallery had lots of fun puzzles and I enjoyed every minute of it. Though, the music got so repetitive at some point, that I opted to listen to something dumb instead, like a Vtuber burp compilation.

Aside from my asinine nitpicks, I wanted to thank you for this lovely experience!

P.S. My favorite fish is that weird looking one.
