This game is pretty fun to play! It took me some time to really understand how the objects and characters are affected by your powers. Once I reached the levels with Espa, I really had to think carefully about my next moves. It sometimes felt like there should be a turn limit and some consequence if you go past it. I'd often take far too many turns on the same map waiting for the right candle, forgetting that I could reset and try again if I'm stuck.

Sometimes when I hover over the bottom part of the UI, it triggers the camera scroll, which felt a bit counterintuitive.

Overall, I really like the mix of gameplay and lewd elements for the goals.

equally shocked that this is the first true puzzle game i've come across, and that it sucked me in as much as it did

the possession mechanic is a beautiful way to tie the theme into gameplay. and the... changes to the characters as we use them, pushing them around and whatnot, is a great way to tie that back into kink. automatic high score on the harmony rating for that inspired bit of design :>

Really like the look of this game and the characters however the game is kinda confusing and when i did figure out what i needed to do a lot of my time needed to be spent waiting out turns. Its got some sokoban type mechanics in it in terms of pushing and pulling stuff around but that doesn't really feel intutive on randomzied maps and hexagon grids. But as i said i do wish i could figure it out becuase i like seeing all the animations and characters 

THIS MUSIC IS PURRFECT. Immediately demanding to meow at whoever composed for your game, they Napstablook'd so hard

The game itself is a lot of fun to play too! Any criticisms from me are echoed pretty clearly in the other comments, but as a game jam game with a couple quirks it's a lot of fun! Really sparked my love for puzzle games back up!

This is a really solid foundation, excited to see where you take this in the future!

The only real gripes I have are:

- it feels a bit clunky to have to right click to deselect each character when I want to select a different character (I don't think its possible for a character to move to an occupied tile, so it feels like an unnecessary step)

- it's not really obvious when a character is possessed

- the buttons to activate the ghost powers kind of blend into the UI behind them

That being said, I love the art, animations, and music!

i'm not sure i've ever played a puzzle game quite like this before (which is a plus from me!). it's action-oriented, in some sense, with the HP systems requiring micromanagement of the combat, but it's also very surely discretized to a grid and turn system like many other puzzle games. this is an interesting combo, and it definitely took some getting used to! i found in some of the later puzzles i was a bit annoyed at how finicky it could be, especially when i needed Val to attack higher-health enemies without losing all her HP. i think the map i won on may have had a somewhat lucky/convenient layout.

still, i did manage to get through all the puzzles, and ultimately i think i enjoyed them. there is something satisfying about completing these tasks indirectly as a ghost. it feels good to make efficient use of the abilities that you currently have available, and it's neat how you can dynamically choose from several strategies based on the current layout + your current ability set.

of course, with the combat, you do have to wait until you get "possess" sometimes as you really need the healing ability. i actually think when the tension got higher is when i started enjoying the end-game puzzles more--once i actually had some progress nailed down, it became critical to keep away all the scary enemies while i stalled for the possess ability, and making use of the less controllable haunt and spook abilities was engaging! i suppose it was more the perceived tedium that annoyed me at the beginning of the puzzle but not once i was actually playing it.

the way that the HP system does not actually kill anyone but just undresses them was nice. it gives the game a definite kinky twist, where suddenly i have the power to, like, undress these folks if i so wish.

a couple nitpicks:

- i have to change the resolution on my screen for the UI elements to appear at a more reasonable scale.

- i find the candle system slightly frustrating sometimes. specifically, the way that you can click an ability multiple times but it doesn't appear to actually do anything. for example, sometimes i wanted to try to use "possess" several times just to boost the HP several times but it didn't work. i think maybe the abilities should get grayed out if they can't be activated again.

- like some other commenters, i also would have liked some kind of thing to check what an ability did before using it.

- i also had the issue where objects sometimes wouldn't appear. i think one puzzle was something like "activated 3 bookshelves" and 3 never generated--is this intentional? i did eventually realize i could just re-use one of them for multiple activations, so it does make sense to me, but i thought i should mention it.

to end on a positive note, i quite like the art & animations! the candle art especially is super fun including the little swinging animations from turn to turn.

As always you make some very intresting and fun games.
The mechanics always have a twist and they are a treat to explore and make sense of! :D
Good job.

I really like the concept! It could definitely be expanded into a full game.

The characters have a charming and unique design. I wasn’t expecting them to get undressed when reaching 0 HP—nice surprise! And you even made different animations for every clothed and naked character with every object, which is a great touch (I know this is mentioned in the "Hint" section of the game page, but I waited until I got stuck before reading it)
The music is catchy, perfect for a game where it will loop for a while.

The intro level explains just enough to get started without over-explaining every mechanic (like how to break vases). I got stuck pretty early because of this, but I actually had a lot of fun experimenting with the tools at my disposal and figuring things out for myself. Once I understood how everything interacted, the gameplay became really enjoyable.

I think the UI could use some improvements:

• Showing potion effects before using them could help beginners. For example, I knew that one potion could heal characters nearby, but I wasn’t sure which one. In that case, trial and error wasn’t ideal because I had already set up my characters positions but didn’t know wich potion to use.
• A button to restart the room without rerolling it could be useful for situations where we had a good layout but made a mistake.
• Since the restart button is close to the others, a confirmation prompt would be nice—I misclicked it more times than I’m willing to admit 😅

Unrelated to this, but I saw that you also made pixel art games, which is a style I really like. I’ll check them out once the rating period is over!

Edit: Sorry for the wall of text, I didn’t realize how much I wrote...

The concept took me a bit to grasp at first but once I got it it was a really fun puzzler! The art and animations are super charming and the fact that things change when characters get naked is a really nice touch. I got stuck on the level where you have to undress the naga just not able to figure out how to make things happen in the right order (even though I had managed it on other levels, so I actually don't know what I wasn't getting), but I had a lot of fun with it up to that point! I'm really impressed you were able to make something so strategic!

Ooh this was super fun. Was a bit baffled with the candle system at first. And the randomization didn’t work at one point and didn’t spawn a bookcase, which left me a bit confused but introduced me to the reset button. But once I got the hang of it, it was a great time and kept me engaged during the whole run. The last level took a tad too much to get all the stars to align in my opinion, but it felt very satisfying once it happened.

Charming art, beautiful UI and mechanically impressive. Also, great taste in music. Only improvements that come to mind is some visual effect when you reach the goal, and maybe some kind of indication when you can move a unit, an aura behind the unit or such.

Also Naga is hot.

First things first, absolutely adore the character designs, their art and animation as well. You must have put plenty of effort there. The idea of haunting and posessing others certainly gives room for kinky action.
The grid movement lends itself well for a puzzle game. I'm interested to see what you can cook with this idea.
Sometimes selecting a character felt a bit hard, no matter how much I tried clicking on them, but otherwise the game was working.
You definitely could add more characters and therefore variety of interactions between them and objectives.

Nice work.

There’s definitely potential here! The procedural puzzle generation has a tendency to generate unsolvable puzzles (such as requiring two gramophones to be activated when the level generates either one or none), but we can see it potentially working smoother with extra fixes, and more fleshed-out generation rules to make things feel a bit more coherent. The core mechanics are decently solid, and would likely shine quite well with better level generation.

Additionally, this project functions completely flawlessly as-is when exported for web. We’ve tested this by decompiling it, re-exporting it as a web build from Godot 4.4, and running the result locally. The project in its current state doesn’t use anything that’s exclusive to the mobile/forward+ renderers, and doesn’t make use of any APIs that require special consideration for web exports (aside from the resolution switcher in the main menu, which predictably does nothing on the web). Publishing a web export would be a good way to get some more eyes on your game, and more ratings for your game!

Pretty complex, I like it!

I think this is a good start for a “handcrafted” puzzle game, but I don’t think these mechanics work as well for random generation. Randomly generated navigation/movement puzzles don’t tend to have an interesting “hook” like an intentionally-designed puzzle can. I think the core mechanics would work well for a game designed specifically around them, but like this it feels a lot like a randomly generated Sokoban relative where everything has tits for some reason.

Fun game! The candle system is a really interesting take on the "card battler" genre, and one I haven't seen before. Moves can be re-used a limited number of times before they rotate out, so you can plan your turns, and that adds a lot. I always felt really smart when I was able to perform multiple actions in the same turn.

The puzzles (like how the heck do I break a vase?) were interesting and the solutions made sense once I thought of them, so excellent job on these. I initially found it odd that the ghost can't pass through occupied spaces, but once I got a better feeling for the gameplay, it made perfect sense. Blocking spaces is sort of the point, after all! I did struggle with the interface a little, and it initially took me a few tries to "hit" the UI elements, but it was intuitive enough once I figured it out. An indicator of when the cursor is over something interactive would've helped me personally, I think.

Really fun art style too. Just the right combination of silly and lewd. The candles really made me grin once I saw what they were. And, well, why not put a butt on a snake?

Thanks for including a Linux build. 🐧 I ended up playing the hotfixed Windows version, because it was submitted really close to the deadline and the jam allows fixes for game-breaking bugs anyway. Sorry to hear about the tech issues, but I'm glad to see you were able to get the game published anyway, it's really neat.
