Its weird that I toss things behind myself. Overall the game looks and feels good.

I enjoyed the uniqueness of each of the puzzles. Also I somehow didn't expect to be able to bring items into the other rooms, had quite the AHA-moment :-)

Love the artwork! Couldn't help but make a mess of the place, sorry :(

Yeah, the only problem I had was that I tossed things behind myself. I really liked the graphics though!

A good trial-and-error puzzler. I really enjoyed it!

Nice work on the graphics and well adjusted "escape the room/puzzle" for the theme. Congrats!

Should add a loading bar, nicely designed logo made me think it was part of the site.

Unfortunately I couldn't beat the last room with the star, lamp, tv, etc. Still pretty good though!

I'd love to know where the idea for this came from! Particularly making the antagonist a giant space hopper.

Thanks for all the kind words guys!

Hint: Final level requires you to craft one of each of the items that starts on the back wall. Its a circular conversion sequence, and everything you need to complete the room is already in the room.

The final boss was very last minute, I needed something big and slightly disturbing based on the same art style as the main character, so I lopped his head off, enlarged it, and glued legs to his head. And then made him float.

If I remade this game, I think I'd make puzzle bosses a core feature of the game; "They're big, and scary, they're in the room where you can see them, and you can't get past them until you've solved the challenge."

Nice. Took me a while to figure out the room with the plants, but otherwise things went smoothly.

Nice graphics, I can't solve the puzzle by myself but I enjoyed the tamborine man.

I kept getting told to go back, even though the room was complete - but I think I won in the end - though not entirely sure haha. Liked the style of the game, though it took some trial and error to figure out what to do. :D

Very pleasant, I think it's the game among those I've seen which is respecting the most the theme. Good Job !
