Great game! Lovely artstyle and very fun levels! You really made a good job!
Thank you very much!
This was really fun! I liked the concept. In the first level I accidentally put two Jarians in the same brazier and couldn't put one in the golden one to finish the level, oops. That was entirely on me. Once I restarted I could enjoy the rest of the game properly! I thought the puzzles were very neat :) I would've liked to have it be hinted where the colored blocks go, sometimes they didn't go where I thought and I had to restart the level - it's no big deal at all, it's just a personal preference that doesn't affect my rating :D The music was nice too! Great job with the game, I could play more of this!
Thank you so much for your feedback! I didn't know you could activate a brazier twice, but I do think I know how to fix that :)
Oh, and I have also been thinking about adding rails to each of the blocks that show where they will go :)
Really nice game! I enjoyed the puzzles a lot! If you have the chance, please take a look at the game that I worked on. Rate Write That Down by ElementalPenguin for Jamsepticeye - itch.io
Thank you very much! I'll be sure to play your game if I get a chance :)
Cool Concept! my only gripe is the colors for the moving blocks, I am colorblind and I had a very hard time discerning the blue from the purple (they are essentially both blue for me)
Other then that I had fun, I dont know if the game had an endind as during one of the transitions it faded to black and just kinda never came back
Thank you for your feedback! I was worried about the ability for people who are color blind to distinguish between the blocks, so I will definitely get on that ASAP.
And credits were supposed to roll after you beat the last level, but do to a bug, it doesn’t load properly 😅
I’m planning on updating the game after the rating period is over :)
Fantastic! I am glad to hear that I did beat the game haha!
Congrats on the submission regardless :)
What a great idea, fits the theme perfectly and it's paired with a very charming artstyle and music!
Definitely one of the best games I've seen so far overall, well done!
Thank you very much :D
Super fun, Loved it, Great job.
Thank you very much!
Congrats. This is a good game. The concept is simple, but you managed to make very interesting puzzles with. That's not easy. Great job.
Minor comment. I think the animation of the ghost leaving the pot should be different if he is just leaving it or using it to active the pyre. It would make the controls clearer.
Thank you so much! And especially thank you about your comment over the animation. Looking back on it, I do agree that there too many similarities between the two.
No worries. The good thing about jams is that other gamedevs can play your game and give you feedback.
This game is GREAT, absolutely 5 stars all around! The simplistic pixel art style is super cute, and very readable which is important for a puzzle game! Also you have my respect for deciding to do a puzzle game at all, level design must have taken you a lot of time! Great work, you’re very talented!
Thank you very much! It took me two of the five days to make the levels, and I wish I could’ve created more :)
I liked the aesthetics — it looks really nice! Interesting mechanics and super cute overall. Congrats! I love rating good games haha.
If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun
Watch the gameplay on YouTube:
Thank you! I have the same to say about your game, I loved the crt effect and the overall atmosphere :)
"I thought the game was fun! I'd add more creatures with different abilities to control.
Thank you very much! I would love to add more creatures to control in the future :)
i love the dancing fire 0-0
Thank you! It was one of my favorite things to animate :)
These were some very nice puzzles. You took what I tried to do and did it so much better. I'm super jealous of you.
Thank you! I also played your game, and I enjoyed it very much! The concept was amazing, and you executed it well. If you keep developing the game further, it could definitely be greater than mine!
Very creative puzzles, and I liked how the difficulty increases gradually without becoming frustrating. Really good game!
Thank you! I was actually a little worried about the difficulty curve, so that's good to hear :)
Fun little game, nice vibes. Great job!
Thank you! :)
Really love the presentation. Great vibes, funny little dudes, happy fires, easy to get the hang of. So good
Thank you very much :)
Felt very polished, and fun to play! Would love to see what different puzzles would look like in this world, maybe possessing a variety of characters will different abilities? Amazing game, great job!
Thank you very much! If I were to develop this game further (which is quite possible), I would love to add different characters to possess :)
Simple, Cool Concept and fun gameplay.
Thank you very much :)
That's just beautiful
Thank you :)
