Thank you so much!! Indeed, time was our biggest enemy here. We had a lot of ideas but not enough time. But we are going to continue working on it :) Thank you for the feedback!

I loved this game! Your art is fantastic, the game is polish, and I love the puzzling aspect of it, to try and fit everything in the boxes :) I had a fun time! The only thing i didn't really get was how the bonuses worked. I wish there was a guide that would say what sales you get depending on the category. But overall I had great time :) Great job!

I was excited when I saw this crochet simulator. It was on my team's idea list so I was pleasantly surprised that a team actually created one :) I love doing crochet, and I think this is a nice way to simulate it! Though maybe you can speed it up a little bit? Once I got into the grove I felt it was a bit slow. Maybe you can have a setting for the players to change?
The art is amazing, and the music goes well with the overall vibe! great job! very creative too! This game is one my favorites :)

Thank you for playing! The game is far from complete for sure, but your feedback is very helpful :) 

I saw this idea implemented in a lot of games, but your crouching mechanic adds more fun into it. I also like the colors, they are very calming :) It can be a little tricky figuring out the solutions and a bit chaotic when you have a lot of loops though. But overall I really liked it. The youtube video was also helpful so that was a great addition :) 

Thank you for playing :) we are planing to add some footsteps to indicate the path you took after the jam. thank you for the feedback, is very helpful!

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! :) I totally understand what you mean. The game needs some polishing for sure :)

I had fun playing this even though it's a simple concept! Btw one time when I hit replay for some reason the game was on slow motion, and I think it was a bug? Just letting you know! :) Great job!

Thank you so much :))

I really like the spin on the theme and the art as well! It was super difficult to figure out which is the correct order though. But to be honest I am not good at music at all! I really like the concept though, great job! :)

thank you!! I replayed it :) I really like the puzzles! In the first room I didn't actually understand that I was looking at walls. I got confused for a while. The other rooms where more clear that you are looking at walls with stuff on it (the bookcase was my favorite) . I believe it was the letters on the walls, and I got distracted?? I also wish I could go back to the previous rooms because for the puzzle in the 2nd room I didn't remember what was the picture in the 1st room. So I restarted the game. I don't know if there was a feature of going back rooms? I love the cats btw!!! Sokrates is my favorite, I also have a black kitty :) Great game, I really liked it! and great job to you and your sister! <3  

Thank you for playing and your feedback. We agree with you! We will be working on the game some more after the jam so those things will be added!

I like the take on the theme :) I also like the doodle feel of the game. I didn't manage to complete the tasks but that seems intentional and I like it. The only thing that I wish was different was the sfx since it was a bit annoying hearing those sounds on repeat. I don't know if you designed it to be as such and of course that's a preference. Great job overall :)

I love puzzle games!! I really want to finish this game, but I am stuck on the decryption letter. Doesn't the letter say: "The secret password is a magical creature with wings one of them known as titania"? :)) 

Thank you for playing!! I would add the solution for the 3rd level on the itch page for the jam :) We really appreciate the feedback since we want to expand the game some more after the jam!

I really like the idea for this game, it is very creative! I also adore 2d puzzle games so I had a fun time playing this! My favorite mini games were the sushi and finding the letter for words! I love your art as well :) Great job!!

Super cool idea and the levels are very challenging (at least for me). It really gets some time getting used to the controls but I love the creativity :)

Very fun gameplay! I really like the art as well! I had a lot of fun playing it :)

Thank you for playing! Indeed in our plans was to animate the player and of course add sfx but we ran out of time :') Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for playing my game too :) I would be interested in getting in touch! Can you email me your discord name so that I can add you. ( I don't want to share it here). In my itch page I have my website linked and you can view my email there. Or if you want to share yours here and I can message you. whatever you prefer :)

I really enjoyed my time with this game! The art is so pretty and vibrant, and I really love the swimming mechanic, it feels like you are swimming. And the shaders also provide that in sea feel. I also love that we can basically "paint" vegetation similar to the game engine terrain tools. The music and laughing sfx when you get the hearts are well incorporated to the whole feel of the game. I truly loved it, I wish I played it earlier before the end of the jam. But regardless I wanted to leave a comment to say that your game is beautiful! :) 

Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback :) I was thinking of adding something to indicate that in an update :)

Thank you so much! Your comment means a lot :) I didn't know that zelda games have such mechanics, I should look into it. But I am happy that you were reminded of it :)

I love the art in this one! soo cute! and the environment as well! I also like that we have to farm, fish and cook! 

Some things to improve: Jumping across the holes was a bit annoying when navigating our house, maybe have an option for climbing instead? Or make the jumping bigger. I also noticed that the walking animation was still playing when the ui opened. Also when I put the lettuce and fish in the soup and I didn't get anything in return. By the way I would prefer a different click sound. Adding a turning page sound would be nice when opening the book, and different sound when planting etc, would be perfect. 
Very wholesome theme and game :) 

I love the environment and the colors! The music is so relaxing and it makes you feel immersed in this world. I love the shaders as well! 
I would say that the gliding mechanics need some more balancing. I know that it is a hard thing to achieve such mechanics in only 3 weeks so what have you accomplished is very impressive! I had troubled keeping my momentum. I was actually pushing space bar again and again to keep my height. I didn't finish the game because I found it very difficult to target the spheres. It would be better if their colliders were bigger to be more forgiving when you pass close to them. That's my only feedback. 

Overall beautiful art and a beautiful concept. Well done!! :)

I will be happy to! :) I haven't received your email though :(

omg that's so touching! thank you so much <3 I'm really happy you enjoyed it :)

such a lovely sweet game with innovative art :) Filled my heart with warmth just like soup does :) 

I love that you actually created 3d assets but we just only see their silhouette. The ui pop ups fit perfectly with the rest of the art as well, I love that is hand written. Very cute :) The end scene omg is great, made me feel whole. And I love that it circles back to the start.

If you will continue to make these type of art in games it would be nice to look more into antialiasing since I noticed that the lines where a bit jagged sometimes. I don't know if you used such techniques, and i know it's hard to make it perfect. I also didn't understand the testing mechanics. In the beginning I thought I need that ingredient and I have to find it somewhere. Eventually I noticed that when you taste it's just pops the last ingredient I was offered. I don't know if I understood it right :)
Your game is one of my favorites :) Well done! 

The strongest part of this game is the writing and the art! The dialogue actually made me feel bad for not helping people, and actually making me want to change my decisions. And the art is gorgeous! I love it! I also love the checkpoints, that is one of the best things to have in such games. I still couldn't defeat the big boss though but that's just my skills. If you want to keep working on the game I think you should work on the controls to be transitioning to the next act seamlessly. That was my only issue with the gameplay. Otherwise it is a polished game with nice story, visuals, ui and music :) great job.

I got excited that we would go to the ruins and found more about how to end Dia but I got the end screen :( I'm sorry you didn't have time to finish it. Regardless my excitement shows that this is a potential story to expand in the future in this setting or a different one.
Gameplay: I also got the ui bug and I got confused if I actually got ambushed or helped. It's great that actually you have to be careful of what people to trust and help. Another thing that might be nice is to use the right click mouse to choose an answer rather that push enter. Or if just use E for both choosing and moving the dialogue forward. I was always trying to find which key to press. (This is just for user experience) 
Very nice job!! :)

(Btw I am reading Mistborn atm, and it gave me similar vibes with the Dia being "god" etc, I don't know if it was an inspiration or just a connection I made)

I really enjoyed this :) I love that as a player I had to pay attention to the information about the neighbours to write the letter and address it to their specific troubles. I also like that when I gave my first letter I started to see people walking around. Though I noticed that I talked to someone that I haven't delivered a letter yet but told me that he received it heh (I think it was Omar). I also tried fishing and waited for something to happen but nothing did. And I wish I could pet the animals (but that just me). I love the transitions, and the soothing music. I wish though the music was not interrupted that suddenly when transitioning to the end scene, maybe fading would be better? Also the barriers are a bit annoying in some places. For example for us to reach the trees (to cut) we have to go through the house yard, but not in any other way. 

I really had fun playing it and made me smile :)  

thank you :) Did you develop a game for the jam as well? 

I told my bf to play it because he loves Hades and it reminded me of it. He really enjoyed it. He liked the controls and the art very much :) He got the good ending.  

I love the aesthetics of this game! The animation is the best. They move like in the lego movies. Btw I love crafting games, but I explored far away to find new stuff like rocks (which I didn't) and then I lost the crafting dude. So then I restarted the game, but again I didn't know how to proceed without getting lost. If he had a beacon it would be a great way for me to keep playing. Btw what can I do with the sand I collected? 

Very good game, little hard on the pc but great visuals :) I can see this having a bigger potential, like discovering epic things in this world. :)

Edit: Oh I saw your itch page. So my goal is to create my own island with the sand. I am going to try it again :)

Second Edit: Okay I made my island, and I got it from there. This was so enjoyable to play after I got it. I wish other players got to see what this game is about. Since I love crafting games this was so much fun! This is my island at the end: 

For some reason it took a while to load on the browser. I left it there like I don't know 10 minutes to load? But thankfully it loaded, because I tried to play it a couple of days ago and it wasn't loading. 

I love this game. I am not very good at fighting games but the experience was rewarding. The fighting mechanics was really satisfying. I love that I changed my playstyle when I gave the powers away. And thankfully the battles were easy to manage even without any powers. Except the big boss in the end which I haven't beat yet. I wish there were checkpoints just to try again, but I saw that you ran out of time. I also wish there was a skippable button for the dialogue because they repeat themselves (the trader) and when I replayed it I knew what was coming. I've noticed that each time I replay it the camera was rotating in different scenes? I don't know if that was intentional, or was a way to add a randomize element? And in the big arena for the big boss fight, on my last run it was full of trees and rocks, which I am not sure if it was intentional. I thought I finally got to rescue my wife but nope. heh. I love the art style btw :) This was a great game. 

PS. I saw that there are different endings but is the big boss fight happening in all 3? I played it 3 times, but I didn't get the good ending. I don't know how can I achieve it. I gave all my abilities two rounds, and still got the boss fight and loss unfortunately. On the 1st run I kept the dash power because I didn't know If I should give the powers or not. Should I give nothing just to beat the boss?  

Thank you so much for playing :) The solutions are on the itch page if you want to replay it. But nonetheless thank you for checking it out :)

Thank you regardless! I will definitely keep it in mind when redesign it :)

Oh! So the way I designed it, it gives you feedback after you played 4 tunes. Do you think it would be nice to show on screen what colors you have already played? I am trying to brainstorm. :) thank you for going back and letting me know! Also yes the pink and purple were quite similar, the light was the cause of it. I tried to distinguish them as best as I could and don't be very dark (since they are a light). But I understand the confusion. 

This is an incredible game! I saw the comments below so I will try to not repeat the same feedback, since most stuff was due to bugs. This was a great narrative game. The writing is really good. I am sure many people don't love reading that much, but it's very well written.  I really love the earie vibe and the Dredge inspiration to it. I love the music elements as well, in the last scene I got goosebumps :)
For the gameplay:
-It took me a while to get used to rotating the camera with Q/E. I don't know if it would be better to use the mouse and change the interaction to a button. But it's probably bc I am not used to it. 
-I wish the dialogue showed who was speaking ( I got confused sometimes).
-I also ended up in the heart before I explored everything. I realised that when I was reading the book and it said "Empty page you turn the next one" or smt similar heh. And I was sad. I wish I had a map or something similar to guide me.  If I  knew I was heading toward the heart I would turned back.  
-Also, as ppl pointed out, I didn't realise that I could upgrade my boat by returning to the main dock. 
-Something that I would like is for the music transitions to improve. At some point, I think it was before arriving to the heart, the screen went black and the music stopped very suddenly, and it took me out of it.
-Ppl already mentioned this but subtitles at the start of the game would be helpful for ppl like me who watch everything with subtitles.
Overall, great work! :)

I really liked the puzzles in this. They were very intuitive. Also the graphics remind me of old games, very nostalgic. I also really like that you made your research on the theme. I found all the spirits and shared my energy with them. It made me happy :)
