The art direction for this game is incredible ! I love how well all of the assets fit together, and the sound design also compliments it quite nicely ! It took a while for me to get used to the controls, but it was fun to manage all the bars and get them to sync up. The characters' interactions are also pretty fun :)

This is very cute! Love the art and ambiance. A bit confusing at first but satisfying once you get more used to it. Excellent work!
Wow, this concept is fun!
At 1st it was a bit hard for me to understand but I got it in the 2nd cycle, and it's good to see the instructions on the corner right. I appreciate that the items are activated from the start, in my first gameplay I didn’t touch them, in the second it was challenging to get the 3 bars without items but you really win more points haha
This game can be very short if you just focus on the gameplay but I did another run just to see the dialogues between the characters and it’s funny, I don’t know how much there are because in the second gameplay I let the game play by itself and I saw more dialogues than I expected, it’s good to see the magician get a little more confident through the cycles haha. And this is another thing I like, you can just enjoy the dynamic between the characters and do nothing else because the lines will overlap enough times to beat the game without your input, so this can be enjoyed in 2 ways :)
The visuals are cute, I like the animation and the end screen is great, it’s a cozy game and I had a great time playing this!
(And nice you did make another game after shovel jam! You got my follow ^_^)
omg this is such a sweet and thoughtful comment >♡< thankusm for taking the time to share your experience !! It makes me so happy to hear you gave it more than one go and noticed all the little details! I wish I had more time to make more sprites for the characters >< Can't wait to give your game a try too!
Watching the characters having dialogues got me curious and glad I played it again :)
Ah, if you are going to play my game, don’t expect much fun, I made it a bit frustrating due the lack of time. I couldn't make it as originally planned and it has an annoying bug that makes it more frustrating haha…
This is such a cute concept. I really enjoyed it: the art is impeccable and the puzzles were clever. The mechanics took a little while to get used to. I would have loved more lore, but thoroughly enjoyed the dynamic between the two characters, as it is. I feel like this could evolve into a cozy game I would love to play. Huge props!
Super cute game! Love the art style, the mechanics are a bit confusing at first, it might be good if there was a proper tutorial. Loved the story as well, unfortunately I soft locked at one during the texts and was unable to progress past "is it okay if I get another enchantment,". Would also be great if there was a bit more variety! Overall though cute and fun game, I liked it a lot!
Really cute and fun idea! Its a shame that it was so difficult, but its probably just me since i usually suck at these types of games ahaha
Interesting game, unfortunately took me many tries to even figure out what I was even meant to do. The help button is a bit too hidden to realise its even there.
But overall not a bad little time waster once you know how to actually play
Really enjoyed this! Trying to align the three colors for a long time is a fairly challenging task, first time it took me a few tries but the second time I restarted I managed to clear the game after two conversations. Also great and cute artwork!
Amazing game! It was kinda hard to get at first but as soon as I understood the mechanics I was hooked: it’s incredible how you managed to make such a fun challenge with just three circles that need to be aligned! The wonderful graphics and cute narrative also helped a lot, as well as the soothing music in the background: really a neatly packaged fun little game, well done! :)
this game is SO adorable, also very fun to manage the loops! Awesome game!
Really liked the game mechanic and the sound effects, and the characters look soo good! I get the pastel color palette vibes but I wish the colored loop sections had a little more contrast compared to the background so they're easier to see. Still a great game!
Really cute game, I didn't notice the number on the bottom at first. They sure did help. Also, since the selected Loop blinked, I sometimes didn't know which loop I was editing. Amazing job on the atmosphere. I did feel like this Loopsmith would exist in a fantasy-based world, I kinda want to know more about that world now :D
Really cute and i love the art, it was hard to get a hang around the gameplay, and though i'm not, i think people with color blindess might find difficulty with your game, the text is super slow and fast forwarding it is a must, other than that really great style and good job!
