the art is really nice, it is a great game for mobile and andriod. It was nice getting the info at the beggining on how everything works because if not I would have been 100% lost....
Great game! I really love the pixel art, the player animations are really smooth.
I also really like how you put in a hint system, I got pretty confused at the start so those sparkles really helped me out :)
I do think the movement is a little bit clunky, I don't see any reason to restrict the player the grid in this game. It took me a long while at the beginning to figure out why the movement wasn't lining up with my input. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make the background more clearly tile based if the player movement is to be restricted to the grid.
It also took me a while to understand the point of the game, maybe that could be made a little more clear at the start of the game somehow?
Overall, I really enjoyed playing the game. The aesthetics set a nice and relaxing atmosphere, which compliments the theme of the game perfectly. Great work!
I don't know but this game is pretty outstanding compared to the others I've seen. It feels of this game is something else. I might just be nostalgia but I really love the environment and the puzzles are very engaging. Outstanding Game!!!
I'm a youtuber, your game is very nice! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk . Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.
@torh Sure thing, I can look into uploading it to indiexpo also. Really appreciate you considering this game for the video! You can find my twitter at @FablesGameDev if you want to chat :)
Cool game @fables! :) I saw Dan play it on his stream, and now I've tried it for myself as well. Great solo game entry. Art and music are great! Whenever I went into fullscreen though the menu button ended up almost in the middle of the screen? Seems like you have your canvas scaling set to constant pixel size?
@luckyfeathers Yeah haha, Menu was the last thing I managed to add and made the web build straight after testing it was ok on the small windows version :P Fixed now but keeping the jam link as-is :) Thanks for playing!
The art, music and mood is really nice. I think the camera and UI needs some work, it feels a bit too zoomed in, especially since the graphics are so nice, I really want to see more of it. The menu button on the middle of the screen is a bit in the way as well. But I think the game itself is really cool, im getting a very nostalgic feel of it.
graphics and art are cool. i think it would be great to have bigger perspective and see more on screen. also i managed to get out of screen, camera was to slow to follow. with some polishing this game should be really good.
Fantastic work. You got so much done in the 48 hours.
You captured such an intense mood with comparatively little dialogue or exposition. Your world building was great. I loved all the little touches like the increasing apparent wealth and grandeur of the Mayor and his family at the expense of everything else.
I was able to go to the secret room! (and tweet you about it haha)
Great job! I really liked to play your game, it was really intriguing, it puts your in the right mood right at the start between the pretty graphics, the (well made / chosen) OST, the "pacing", etc...
I didn't notice any real bug. The only thing I found a bit "odd" (for lack of a better term, sorry) is the grid movements. It helps to set the pace of the adventure in a way, but it also surprised me, I'm not too sure about the necessity of this kind of movement there. ^^ The hint button is a well thought feature, especially given the time you had.
Nice little game. The story might be a bit too cryptic and the puzzle too far-fetched lol. I also had trouble reading the menu and understanding that it was a map :sweat_smile: But good entry anyway :slight_smile:

I wish I wasn't in such a rush when I played your game - though it did add that mild amount of peril trying to race through it in 5 minutes!
I liked the concept of switching between old and new, and how it was incorporated both into the story and the puzzles.
