Design Statement
The theme track made us think about a music box. It inspired the idea of a mechanical toy-world representing some of you childhood memories. The goal of the game is to take photos of some items -more or less hidden- in the world, to (re)collect those memories.
Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
Goal:
Take the best photos of the little animal toys -not so well- hidden in their toy world.
Controls:
Right Click: Enter/Exit photo mode
Left Click: Take photo (while in photo mode)
Wheelmouse: Zoom in and out (while in photo mode)
Shift: Adjust camera focus (while in photo mode)

Really liked the vibe you went for. Loved the visuals and the relaxing music. The only thing you could add to make the game even better is a like a speed up mechanic because there were times where is spotted the animal but wasn't in range to focus on it. Great work :)
Thank you! Yeah totally agree with you! We have some ideas about speed up / slow down mechanics. Excited to find time next year to explore those designs 😊
Such a chill and relaxing game! It reminds me of the days when I used to ride the bus alone, just wandering around the city with no particular destination. Loved it!
Thank you! We hope to add more levels with different tracks from our very different childhoods after the jam 😁
Really relaxing! I like the part whenever games ask him to find objects and click photos like LIS, Spider-Man or Watch Dogs 2. The whole game based on just clicking photos is an amazing idea 😁😁
Thank you! I'm glad to see folks feeling the cozy vibe we tried to create 😊
So cozy! I really really like it. A part of me would love for them to move around more, and in general for more interactions and stuff happening around me to look at. Reminds me of Pokemon Snap
Thank you!
I absolutely agree! We'll play around with the level design and continue to add more movement and life into it as we iterate. There are a ton of features we never got to - classic game jam experience 😂 Open to any suggestions / ideas 🙌🏾
I really loved this one!
It feels like a combination of playing with wooden trains as a kid and Pokemon snap. Very well put together, I appreciate how relaxed and slow paced it felt, but I do wish there was a few more interactions you could engage with, like if you could switch the tracks to go a different way or something to make the gameplay a little more interesting!
Thank you! AND YES! Track switching was one of the ideas we had on our list 😁
Adding more elements of play to sell the toy concept / more elements of choice to show how it could be the player asking questions to whomever is sharing their childhood memory. Open to suggestions / ideas 🙌🏾
