A very polished and cute puzzle game! All of the animations and models really brought it to life. I don't see you credit a model library anywhere, which tells me you made all of these models yourselves, which is very impressive!
The main mechanic was cool, but I found the puzzles to be very easy. I got all of the bonus contacts and none of the levels took me more than 30 seconds to solve. It would have been nice to see some sort of augmenting mechanic to expand the potential of the puzzle design.
While our artist created most of the models himself, we did use some from other creators and forgot to list them in the jam page: it's now been updated accordingly :)
We tried to make the game accessible to make sure everyone can get to the end of the story, and optional contacts were supposed to present more of a challenge...I'm sorry they weren't enough for you, but maybe we can fit harder puzzles in a post-jam update ? ;)
Thanks for all your feedback!
This is a super polished and clever puzzle game, I really love the addition of the optional nodes! A couple of them really had me stumped for a bit. The gameplay and the graphics are insanely polished, having a different background for each puzzle really helped tell the story.
All this game needs is sound and you have one hell of a project. Amazing job!
After 150 games rated for this game, I think I've come across a new favorite. This is simply beautiful, the puzzles are fine tuned, the graphics are stunning, I laughed, I cried, it's the whole package for a jam game. Perfect score
The idea is great, the puzzles are well thought of, and the presentation is very nicely done, this is such a nice game congrats !
A simple mechanics and great puzzle possibilities! The game is beautiful, its storytelling well written and you have to use your motherboard correctly to succeed in specific stages!
I loved the annecdotes given by the machines between levels <3
Only 4 days to make it : it doesn't look like it came out of a game jam, bravo!
This was a very well made and polished game! The puzzle design was interesting and made you feel smart when figuring it out, and you managed to make the story work great with the game as well. Great work with this jam in such a short amount of time!
This was an awesome game, great puzzle design, awesome story design and I was tearing up by the end. That was great!
Very polished game, great puzzles and nice story :) The mechanics are strong enough to be expanded upon if this were to be made into a full game!
Well done!
10/10 Game Jam entry for GMTK. Interesting mechanic that matches the theme, clean and cute simple art style that's consistent. And emotional ending that I should have seen coming. Great stuff, and I hope to see this on top-100 and even maybe a full game someday!
I just fell in love with the story before I know anything about it. I love the characters with incomlete ( sorry for the word ) persona like Robots, Animals, and of course, Gooballs. If we have a web version here it'll attract many more players OTL.
Thank you for making this inspiring journey. I've learnt a lot!
( And wish someday I can handle graphics like this
I am blown away, really really amazing game! The story getting reinforced by the things lying around is an amazing touch. The puzzles are really well designed and take a while if you want to unlock all the bonuses. The game ran smoothly and I didnt encounter any bugs. And the ending got me :') Great job, definitely one of the games i am rooting for!
oh my goodness what a lovely game, the way it tells a story is incredible, and the puzzles were awesome
This game is suuper polished! you did a very good job, if it has sound it woud be a 11/10!
heartfelt & engaging, really scratched that zachtronics itch!
We're not as open-ended as zachtronics puzzles but it's definitely one of my inspirations so I'll take the compliment, thanks a lot! :)
Very creative and fun game!
Amazing game! The puzzles were really well designed! Loved the story, and the whole aesthetic! And your take on the theme was interesting! :3
Really great game! Amazing art, very fun and interestind. would make it so you dont have to press f to finish but other then that really well done!!
You can also press the "physical" button with your mouse, but I'm guessing you'd like the puzzle to close automatically when done?
We opted not to for the jam because of the optional objectives but it might be an interesting option for a future release, thanks for your feedback :)
The graphics are probably the best i've seen so far, and i enjoyed the puzzles a lot!
Good game! Puzzle games are one of my favorite hobbies.
a very neat and polished game, and the graphics looks so good too
