Cute!!

This was fun! Are there multiple endings or just the one?

Do you mean the conversation after selecting your role model? If so, it's probably confusing because I never committed to the parent being the mom or the dad. (Most people do assume the parent is the mom.) You can kinda assume the parent talking during that conversation is the opposite of the one you selected.

Thanks for your kind comments! I have no idea how to view the rankings of the free logic-puzzle games, but I will take your word for it :o

Thanks for the comment! :D Glad the cloud mechanic was useful. I think the reactions you have here are pretty much exactly what I was hoping people would feel. Thanks for playing!

Hi! Thank you for playing and I'm glad you had fun :D The clue for Daniel being younger comes from him saying "we used to hang out at Grandma Janet's place with the older kids", implying that him and Sophie are younger.

Hello! You just have a small typo. "Barbra" should be "Barbara" with 2 a's.

Thanks for the advice. I looked through the Quality Guidelines, but I was unable to find anything related to this. I'll look into something like Patreon, as that sounds better than me manually updating it.

Hello, I recently completed a game and had the idea to add a "donation goal", where if X amount of donations are made, then I will add a new feature to the game. I'm wondering 1) if this is allowed and 2) what the best approach to this might be? The game is completely free-to-play, and I was considering just adding an image of the current goal progress in the description of the game (even though everyone would just have to trust that I am accurately tracking donations). I've seen more official donation goals around, but I'm not sure how to use those or if I can with a free-to-play game.

Hello! Yes, you are playing as Sophie =)

Thanks for playing! :D

Hello! Your comment is a year old now, but just in case you are still interested, there is a newer version of MagnetiK with what I believe are much better controls lol. You can try it out here: https://saffrona.itch.io/magnetik

Hello! I enjoyed playing this jam build! The puzzles were simple, but they were enjoyable. I had to restart only twice. I am interested in seeing where the story is going. At the moment, the parents feel very one-dimensional, and that's fine with me if that was the intention! I was expecting the parents to interact with the puzzles more in the later levels, especially because the later levels were very straightforward (I thought they might start throwing stuff at me or I would have to run away or something lol), so I think that could be something interesting in a full version! Thanks for creating this!

Hello! What are you confused on? If you post a screenshot of your progress so far I can give you some hints.

Hello! You just have a small typo, it should be spelled "Janet" with an a.

Hello! You are very close. There's a small mixup in whose child is whose. Cassette tape 3 will probably be the most helpful to review!

Hello! Can you check if you're still able to type even if the cursor does not show? Sometimes the cursor doesn't show up properly, but it still allows you to type. There is no unlocking in this game, so every post-it note is typeable from the start.

Hi! You have a small mixup in the couples. I think Daniel.mp3 will be the easiest to review. (This couple mixup is a little common, sorry about that! Let me know if you need additional hints)

Hello! If you view the hints document, you can check the hints labeled under "I can’t find all of the names / I am missing a name". The last hint (#6) will reveal the last name to you.

You're welcome! And thank you for playing!

Hello! You just have a small typo: It should be "Elizabeth" with a z instead!

Thank you so much! :D I'm glad you were able to figure everything out! Great job and thank you again for playing and for your kind words! :D

Hello! Thank you so much for playing the game and persevering through it :'D I hope you're able to get some good sleep now haha

Exiting out of the folder has turned out to be a bit of a problem! I'll write a note somewhere for it.

[SPOILERS]

And oops! I didn't mean for that clue to point toward Sophie/Samuel/Sabrina. The letter is indeed for Angela, and her father was about to write "son". This story point was going to be expanded upon in another clue, but as I mentioned in another comment, the clue I originally wrote was no good, so I took it out but didn't have time to rewrite it.

Glad you were able to enjoy the game regardless of the little hiccups! Thanks for playing again!

Thank you so much! It has turned out to be a long and difficult game (even if I didn't intend it to be haha), but I'm glad you made it through and had fun! :D

Hello! Unfortunately it looks like the image you uploaded doesn't work for me. You can try attaching an image again in another comment, or please check out the Hints Document and let me know if it's useful for you!

Hello! Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!

[SPOILERS]

The only thing you're missing is that the reason "Junior" isn't underlined, is because you're supposed to use Junior's real first name.

If you need additional help with that, you can check out the Hints Document under "I can’t find all of the names / I am missing a name".

Great work so far! And thank you again!

Hi! Make sure you're playing on a desktop browser, because the game does not work on mobile. Have you tried clicking on the post-it notes and typing even if the caret (blinking line) does not show up? Sometimes it's bugged and it lets you type even when it doesn't show that. You can also try playing in full screen or changing your browser window size.

Thank you so much for playing and thank you for the kind words! :D

and ooo you are very very close! This one may be a bit of my fault: since the clues aren't very explicit, the interpretation you have is understandable as well.

You could review the letter that starts with "To my dear s daughter" and some of the related cassette tapes.

[SPOILERS]

Its meant to be that one side of the family was more accepting of Mary and Angela's relationship. And Angela has more going on, but unfortunately you only get glimpses of it in that letter. This is because as I was writing clues, I wrote a clue related to Angela that turned out to be useless for the puzzle, so I took it out of the game but was unable to rewrite a new one before the game jam ended.

[SPOILERS]

You have a lot of things correct here! Just some small stuff that is mixing everything else up

All of these things you have are correct:

1. The parents of the person who writes the "Oh David" letter must be Frank and Elizabeth, since they wrote the love poems

2. Richard and his spouse only had girls, as discovered in the cassette tapes.

3. Lisa is Sophie's mother, as discovered in the mp3.

I think the major thing that is mixing you up is the placement of Frank and Elizabeth. The letters they wrote to one another are meant to look the oldest, so they're meant to be much higher up in the family tree. I think from there you're on the right track to sort everyone else out. 

Thank you for taking your time to play the game, and let me know if you need anything else clarified!

Hello! Thank you so much for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it! :D It's a simple fix: "Elizabeth" is meant to have a Z instead of an S! To submit your answer, just click the arrow on the notebook sheet to the right of the family tree =)

Hi! This is pretty close! The only things are you have a mixup with generations and a small mixup in the couples.

To double-check the generations, I'd recommend taking a look at the letters again. Some of the letters look much older, and that's because they are!

For the couple mixup, I'd take a look at the notebook paper (the one that begins with "Oh David," and try to understand who wrote that letter. I'd also look at cassette tapes 1 and 2. Who is "the girls" referring to?

I've created a document to help give hints out! You can look at it here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14B83HLol7H_T1eJwakzfkMpWJb6PX5MVEryfnW7uBNA/...

Feel free to continue asking questions when you're stuck, and I'll add more hints!

Hello! I responded to Synthetic Star with a hint that should help you out as well.

Hello! First, thank you for playing the game! I agree that a hint system would've been very cool! For now, I'll just try my best to give hints in the comments.

[SPOILERS]

You are correct that 18 names are underlined. This is because one of the names is repeated. Let me know if you need additional help!

Thank you so much! Really, it means a lot to me that you took the time to play the game and left such a kind comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, and thank you for playing it all the way through!

Game looks gorgeous <3 It's very simple but feels really good to play

I LOVE this game's concept. If you worked on it in the future, I wonder if you could start off with a small amount of potions and then get more over time? It would help with it feeling overwhelming with so many potions at first.

The writing is so cool, and I love how you get a sense of the world just from those letters.

Again what a cool game I'd love to see more of it

This is really fun and I'd love to play more! Also I went through the whole game without realizing there was a dash T-T 

I would've liked to know exactly where my hitbox was, since it seemed a smaller than the art but still bigger than I thought.

Liked the sound effects, and the art was very beautiful. Defeating the first boss was a little sad :'(

That was so fun! I kept dashing and getting stuck in the walls lol, but otherwise it was very fun. Loved the gattling gun against the big aliens

168 fuel cells =)

It's cool how much you were able to get done. Gravity/camera stuff seemed really hard.
