You know nothing. If you learn something, you can do, see, or feel it. If you forget, you lose that belief!

Thank you, your words mean a lot to us! I am being inspired to develop a full game out of this!

Wow great idea! Very clever puzzle mechanics, and I could definitely see a lot more potential for different beliefs on top of what you've already got.

Throwing Things at the Light Switch Simulator

devthedragonSubmitted1 year ago(+2)

A wonderful puzzle game with a lot of creativity behind it. The drawn scribble art stile is very fun and fits the almost childlike idea of things only being real if you actively think about them. All of the pieces come together for a very cohesive product.

Really interesting interpretation of the theme, managing to mix the power of belief with the more obvious interpretation of playing as a lightbulb. The idea of this little naive guy's perception of the world shaping his reality is really funny and being able to take advantage of that to solve puzzles was pretty fun. Great entry!

Power of Attorney

Super charming, lovely art and sound design. I love how each character reacts when picked up and thrown!

The art reminds me of the flash game "use boxmen," it was my favourite as a kid.

The puzzles are pretty tricky at points, I need to play more!!

Wowow what a cute game… I’d love to see this as a fully flushed out mobile game! My impulse was to collect as many people together as possible which wasn’t my brightest idea ;)

Speed The Movie: The Game

but it was the friendliest!

Kiapigeon 🐦Submitted1 year ago (2 edits) (+2)

A Unique Game, Beautifully Presented and Polished! 🎮✨

The idea that knowledge is power is absolutely brilliant 💡, and its execution in the gameplay is just as perfect! The world is vibrant and fun, the narrator always seems one step ahead 🧐, the character designs are delightfully wacky 🎭, and the difficulty curve feels just right. I can only say: bravo! 👏

If there's one small thing I could criticize, it would be the clarity of the connections between screens and the camera management. While this adds to the challenge, a small arrow indicating a room above or below 📍 could help guide the player without hurting the experience.

But in the end, it's still an amazing game! 🎉 Great job! 💪🎨

Thank you!! I am really happy you felt the theme in the game, as we were a bit worried some might not connect with our line of thoughts!

The last level is a torture!

My honest reaction:

Cool game, cool graphic, cool character design. The level design though… there could be some more room to be fun.
