=======THE RULES=======

You have SIX SPACE BAR presses.

When you RUN OUT OF SPACE, you die.

SPACE uses your equipped action.

Using your equipped action automatically CYCLES to your next action.

You start with no actions. Explore to find your first.

=======THE GOAL=======

You play as Pep, a small woodland creature on a small adventure. Collect the 6 artifacts that allow you to progress in the game. The space bar is used for all actions, but be careful, you only have 6 spaces in each run.

Use your puzzle solving skills to wake the slumbering dragon to escape a doomed land.

=======THE CONTROLS=======

Arrow keys: move

Space key: equip action, use equipped action

Was a good game. Felt good when you got the order of things and solved the puzzles.

Very good game!

Well design puzzle!!! And I have more nothing to say, beside that.

Excelent work!

I really enjoyed this one, it has really cute graphics, a different interpretation of the theme, interesting mechanics and really smart level and puzzle design. Puzzles are challenging and take time to figure out, but don't feel obtuse. Well done!

Very cool concept, I like it! Nice character design as well! The music got a tiny bit repetitive after a while due to the high amount of restarts, but other than that it's great!

Oh, the game is quite cute. The graphics are good and the ending is heartwarming (also, beautifully drawn). I liked the puzzle solving involved in it too. I like the different take on the theme.

A really good idea to use the spacebar for running out space ! A good game which mix logic and memory ! Good job, I really like it ! (And Pep is too cute with his wings !)

This is definitely one of my favorite games from the jam. The puzzles aren't too challenging, but the process for solving them felt very novel and satisfying. The ordering system was extremely clever, and I loved how the puzzles felt intuitive and logical. Fantastic entry!

Really nice puzzles, and an interesting take on the theme. I loved the graphics and the character's voice, and how to use the lighting speed was a clever riddle. Good job!

Very pleasant game, felt quite attached to/familiar with the world by the end of it.

I really like this! The art was cute, but I mistook some NPCs for enemies a few times, oops. At first I thought it was going to be super difficult, but I quickly caught on to this clever little puzzle adventure! Well done!
