Nice game. Would be nice to see a faster paced game implementing this mechanic.

Loved that transition effect between the different screens and the sound to go with it. Wonderful. It also felt like a complete project which is rare for Ludum Dare games I think. Although the back tracking to the tree guy at the end is kind of a dick move! ;p Good job!

Wow, this is awesome!
Solution for "One screen problem" is really elegant.
Graphics is simple and clear.
I love it =)

Great smooth transition between screens. Really love the exploration as well! Wish more games would harness the curiosity of the mind! Nice entry.

very good transition effects and interesting visuals, although it would be nice to have an option for running.
The guy with the trees made me chuckle :) Excellent work!

I have nothing in particular to pick on. Good transitions and funny dialogue. Nice work!

innovative thinking for the one screen concept. the game felt a bit slow though. and i saw in the game it said " 2 fold swan unlocks ancient knowledge" but when i got to the swan, the game just ended without giving any feedback or reward for finding it!? felt like i wasted my time and energy for nothing....
But other than that, the game is really good. Cheers!

I enjoyed the feeling of adventure and the witty banter with the NPC's

Also, it's nice to find a game that wraps things up at the end.

Thanks.

Oooh, an origami game! Ours is about origami too. You should come check it out :>

I really like the way you did the transitions to keep the game "All on one screen" for this. Very clever! The SFX work really well together, too. The volume's well-tuned and all that. I also enjoyed the writing a lot... honestly, it reminds me a lot of Fez, and that's a good thing. The only thing I wish is that the walk cycle was a little bit faster, since backtracking to you-know-which area took a while.

Overall, a solid entry. Thank you for the game!

I love the concepts and art for this game. If given more time, I think this game could really be marketed, its pretty cool!

What an innovative way to use the theme. The art style is great, but gameplay was a bit slow for my taste.
