gooood game
love you game, well made, congrats
great game, well done. Very good story and a variety of different puzzles.
this was a lot of fun! i really loved your worldbuilding details and the writing.
it was a bit mean to make me relive the terror of kicking around a ball and failing at it repeatedly while the person i was playing with kept trying to make it easier for me hahaha -- i think the hitbox could be increased a bit upwards to make this a smoother experience.
my only other note is that i wish there was a restart button for the puzzle where you move the crates. i softlocked myself by accidentally pushing one against the back wall and needed to restart.
Great looking RPG game.
I'm no usually a fan of these kind of games as they are too slow for me, but it looks well made.
I got until the piano puzzle where it told me to play the major scales of C.
Now I don't know music theory and in my opinion you shouldn't have to look up stuff in a game, so I am not sure whether I missed a hint or something but if not then I would incorporate a hint there how to play the Major scales of C. Some sort of musical magazine could be left there for example.
Great job !
The art is Amazing !!!
the art is so cute!
This is a really exceptional tiny rpg given the timeframe. It’s charming and entertaining and just challenging enough. Beautiful art and wonderful music. You should be really proud of yourself for this, brilliant!
The first scene in the home having the same layout as the home in Undertale had my sold instantly, nice touch!
Clever game, I enjoyed playing through the puzzles - I do wish there was a reset button however! I messed up and got stuck. Very impressed with the artwork, you had a lot to draw!
Hearty thanks for your encouraging feedback! I'll definitely add a puzzle reset feature after the jam. For now, you can restart levels from the game menu 🎮🔄🦴
woahh good work!!
Bunches of bone-thanks for your kindness! It's like a cozy hug for my skeleton soul 🦴🤗🌟
Short, but very nice and very sweet.
You can really see the Undertale inspiration and references. I was surprised by all the interactions that were possible with the world! I almost wish the characters would sound like Papyrus and Sans :P
Keep up the good work!
Immense gratitude for your warm words! Yep, I definitely took a page from Undertale's book – or should I say, a bone from its skeleton! 😄🌟🦴
Nice! i really loved the aesthetics of the game. The level of interactivity was amazing.
I did get stuck on the piano puzzle (had to take a hint) and the first box puzzle, the box got stuck in a corner and I had to restart it.
It also froze at one point but I'm thinking it's just firefox.
Massive thanks for your kind feedback! Happy to hear the piano hint was a help, and yes, I agree that box definitely needs some 're-packaging,' haha! 😊📦🔧
Well, lesson learned. There's a reason most puzzle games reset the room when you leave & come back.
This was a cool game, I loved all the polish, and the music & dialogue was top notch! The final puzzle was a bit odd, I just stood on the pressure plate and the exit opened? I figured there was something I'd have to do with the fireflies...
All in all, a fun, chill time!
Heaps of thanks for your heartwarming words! I'll definitely consider your feedback as I continue developing – you're helping me grow as a game designer, haha 😄. The last puzzle was meant to be a labyrinth that you can simplify by adjusting the camera's scale, but now I see there's still plenty of work to be done 😅🦴💡
Very good game, you've managed to create a really cool and original atmosphere. And your game is very complete. The hints helped me a lot, especially on the piano where I had no idea what to play... ^^'
In any case good work ;)
I'm overflowing with gratitude for your comment – it's spine-tastically uplifting! 🎉🦴😊
Hearty thanks for your uplifting comments! You've got me grinning from skull to skull – 'spasi-bone' for that! 😄🦴🌟
Wooow, I just don’t know where to start, oh, I’ll start with the bad things! I just got stuck in the piano scene!!! :c Now about the good things ( which is a lot! ): the accessibility is amazing!!! the tab key is just something I didn’t thought I needed! it helped me a lot in places where I would get stuck, ah! the sound effects are amazingly done! the music is calmly and comfy, I loved it!! the sound effect of a typewritter in the text box dialogue is amazing, and it seems like there’s a lot of things after the piano puzzle, I just can’t imagine how hard was for you to work on it, really good work :D ( also annoying dog reference in the beggining got me hahah )
Big thanks for your warm words! A little hint – if you press and hold Tab, the notes will light up gradually on the music sheet when you playing it in the right way. And yes, haha, looks like our dog friend sneaked in even here 😄🎹🐕
Very interesting interpretation of the theme, good music and sfx AND the details are amazing!
I'm skull over heels with gratitude for your comments! 💀❤️🎮
Got stuck in the first box puzzle (Pushed against the wall), but the autosave was a lifesaver!
I reloaded the game and finished it! n.n
It was very enjoyable and the TAB key was a great implementation, great job!
Really thrilled for your encouraging remarks! Glad you liked the Tab mechanic. Here's a little secret just for you – try using it in the game's main menu, there's a surprise waiting! 😊🕹️🔍
I really enjoyed this game, especially the beautiful graphics and the story! There were just one problem I encountered: Once the crates were pushed all the way to the wall, I couldn't pull them back onto the pressure plates (I know, that was a stupid move of mine in the first place haha), so it would have been helpful if there was a way to reset the room (or maybe I just missed that?)... Nonetheless, playing the game was great fun :)
Really grateful for your supportive words! Haha, yeah, I didn't foresee that issue initially, so I'll add a fix after the jam. For now, you can restart the level by re-entering the game and selecting 'Continue' from the menu 😄🎮🔧
It was a great game about a small story. There was a lot of props,text , content and puns. Game did a lot of things to reduce the friction, that music puzzle could done a lot harder but would also make a lot of players leave there.
Much appreciated for your uplifting feedback! I really wanted to ramp up the puzzle challenge, but yep - my goal was to ensure players with less gaming experience wouldn't get stuck for too long, so I'm testing all the puzzles on my non-gamer girlfriend to get it just right 🧩👍🎮
