Very cool game, i found the story to be interesting, and the loop theme is implemented corectly, and it fits the game like a glove. The only bad thing is, it doesnt have a soundtrack, but still very fun game to play

Really cool game, the story is interesting and the loop theme is perfectly implemented. I only have one question, is there audio in the game ? I didn't hear any during my playing time, and I'm not sure if the problem is on my side or not.

There is not unfortunately. I'm not good at sound design :

No problem, I would have been fine with a copyright free song, and the game is still very good without it !

I got it. You can pick up the items just after talking to the villagers each. But the time count down is really hard to beat. Anyway, fun playing that little puzzler. Like it!

Please, rate also my teammate's first solo project "Eversands": /jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3781063

You don't actually have to beat the countdown, per se. Some stuff is saved even after the countdown ends, namely your character's memory of picking up quests and the items in your inventory. It's the environment that resets.

In fact, spoiler alert, the environment resetting is necessary to finish the game!

Ah, I see. I hope you didn't reveal too much now for other players to find out themselves.

I like the dialogue, art and setting! It's got a fun adventurous vibe.

I tried to pick up the items--after talking to the aliens and hearing what they needed, I still wasn't able to pick anything up. Maybe I'm missing something?

Cool concept!

If you're talking about the flowers, the reward for bringing those back is part of the quest to get the jet boosters. If you haven't talked to Wryn'chh yet, Fal'Oraa won't officially give you the flower quest, she'll just mention that she's looking for them.

If I'm misinterpreting your issue, let me know, and I'll try to fix it!

I see, I saw the flower talk but also was specifically asked about getting the hard hat but couldn't--I had missed the first jetpack quest giver!
