Love a good escape room— this is impressively well designed for a jam entry too! I have to admit, I only discovered 3 letters, and then inferred the 4th though! 😂 Great work overall!

Developer

Yeah we thought someone might guess the code before finding every letter! Thank you so much ❤️

This is one of the most enjoyable games I've played in the jam so far. Love to see the Outer Wilds influence (which is probably my favorite game) with how the player accumulates knowledge to progress quicker. I did kinda guess the password after only getting two letters, but I felt like at that point I had solved the major puzzles anyway.

Developer

We intentionally made the game completable at any time, just like you did, to avoid frustration and so players wouldn’t have to redo everything. Making it enjoyable within just 4 days was definitely a great challenge! :D
Thank you so much for your feedback, it truly means a lot to us!

Your game is so good! The visuals are very cool and the puzzles are really fun. That's what I dreamed to my game be like LOL. Really an inspiration for me :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! That really means a lot. We're glad the game is an inspiration, even if the final version didn’t turn out exactly how we imagined in the first place!

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much!! We really don't know how to thank you enough for this kind of feedback. It truly means a lot to us. We've been receiving so much love for our work lately and honestly… we don't know how to handle it hahaha we're just so grateful! ❤️

I played this game after hearing that you were inspired by Outer Wilds, which is one of my favorite games. This was a really cool puzzle game :) Very polished, reasonable difficulty, great work!

anyway, thanks for the feedback <3

I like any game with a space-y aesthetic. And I love time-loop games. This game has both, so yay!

Saw your game on Mark's stream, by the way. Good job!

Developer(+2)

Glad we made a game just for you! haha thank you so much ❤️

This one is so polished and fun, you guys have done so much for just a game jam

Developer(+2)

Thank you so much! The work really paid off! ♥️

I've just seen your game on Mark's stream, I'm shocked how similar our ideas for this jam were, even the loop length is pretty similar, ha!

Really liked the music puzzle.

Developer(+1)

We will check out your game for sure! Thank you for the feedback :)

Sick to see another game like this in the jam! Really ambitious especially for a team of 2, congrats yall :].

Developer

We worked hard and it was really complicated, but really satisfying! Thank you so much :D

You've got some really cool puzzles. Really liked the lasers! Great presentation and effects too! It would be nice if there was more of an indicator as to what accomplishing puzzles actually did/opened up tho. I didn't really understand why or when certain rooms unlocked and didn't know if the 3x3 light puzzle was completed by making all the sqaures red or white. Aside from that, I had a great experiance.

Developer

Thank you so much! We wanted to add more quality of life features but we were short on time, anyway we are glad you liked it!

GOATED GAME! The puzzles were extremely well designed and satisfying to solve, I couldn’t solve the second letter though and just guessed it when I knew the other three.

Developer(+2)

It doesn't matter how you managed to solve it. Anyone can guess the password at any time. That's the beauty of puzzles. Thank you so much for the feedback! <3

Submitted(+2)

Interesting take on an escape room style of game. I'm glad you don't have to solve everything again after restarting a time loop. I couldn't figure out how to do the 2nd letter so i kinda just inferred from it based on the other letters.  Fun game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much for the feedback. Of course, the game can be completed at any time. This was our choice to make the experience quicker and more enjoyable! The important thing is guess the password ;-)

Submitted(+1)

Enjoyed it but I got totally stuck and ended up giving up!

Sorry :-(

Please post a walkthrough video somewhere :-)

Good job though!

Developer

Thanks to your feedback, we're working on a walkthrough to make the gameplay experience smoother for everyone! This way, no one will get stuck and reaching the end of the game will be easier for all :-)
