This is such a cute game!
this is such a cute game, and an original take on this year's theme, well done!
This is such a creative concept for the theme of Loop! I very much enjoyed playing it (my high score was 850) - the beautiful art, satisfying mechanics (I like how the pieces feel fun to move and snap to the grid) and cute narrative made for a really cohesive and professional game. Well done!
This is sooo polished for a jam ! The artwork is really nice and there is a lot of it, must have taken a lot of time and effort. The gameplay feels really smooth too. Well done !
It's a little gem, very nice game for a 4 day jam !
Exceptionally cute art and a very heartwarming premise, this should be a full game! Seriously!!
Great idea and even better execution! The art in particular was so charming.
Lovely game, super fun, and had me chuckling.
How creative!!! It reminds me of a cute little cozy game called Inbento. Another thing I made note of was how interesting the fonts are. Thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay and art style.
The artwork is one of the best I've seen so far in the jam! Great job
Fun game. Really creative. I liked puzzling through where to place the stories. :)
Enjoyed both the weird puzzle shapes and seeing the miniature stories progress through game pieces. The game came together for me when I started taking completed rows and columns into account. Good job!
I loved this! It's so polished and feels so fun and satisfying to play. I love the wholesome setting and the cute little characters and even the extra polish with the animal crossing style talking sound effect. I'd happily play a full game of this <3! Super chill and cute.
Best game I've played so far! Super cute and polished, it's clear that a lot of effort has gone into this, and it's super fun!
One of my favorite games so far. Nice twist on the shape-fitting puzzle! I would play this for HOURS if there was more levels
Awesome idea and great little narrative! The cute art helped it feel really polished.
This reminds me so much of Patchwork. I love the twist you've done on it, really fun. And the art style is so cute.
DOG MISSING AGAAIIIN???? NOOOO 5/5 would be in the loop again
Artstyle is TOP! I really loved drawings and creativy with the news ! Too many dogs went missing tho! :D
OMG I love this! It is so damn creative!
I also enjoyed discovering and learning the scoring system over time. Getting a high scoring combo was so satisfying due to the audio design. I ended up with a score of 848.
It also slightly reminds me a bit of 'we become what we behold'https://ncase.itch.io/wbwwb
On all accounts 10/10 game!
Omg that's so funny--When we were polishing up the article designs I thought of that game but could never remember the name of it. Definitely different tones, haha! Thank you for sharing and for your kind comment! <3
