Interesting puzzle game. The beginning of each level feels a bit slow until you have enough words to be able to recognize patterns, but the concept is really cool!

Submitted

As one of them, the little book log really brings this concept out! I had a good time spotting the patterns (especially Rupert’s) and deducing the rules,, nice work!

Submitted

Lovely little puzzle! would love to see more levels with more rules! 4th one gave me the most trouble, but somehow i managed to succeed before i figured out the rule by myself! well done its very fun to play!

Submitted

This might not be my type of game cause I kinda just sat guessing words wasn't sure of the theme

Submitted

I had fun, couldn't figure out 4th one but like it. Felt like I was doing the puzzle section of a newspaper, with cute goblins and a monster. Can see a potential for a daily worlde-like thing for mobile devices!

I couldnt get past the first section- it feels really abstract. The art is cute but the swipe left/swipe right decision isn't conducive to long form thinking, especially when you only have 2 words to figure out whatever pattern is attempting to form. It felt more like I was just guessing a majority of the time, which I didnt find fun

did you see the little book in the corner? It shows you all the words so far

Submitted

I did not, sorry! I'll try replaying and see what's that about

Submitted

Floor 3 was the hardest for me, I think I went through about 40 words before it twigged. The rest of them were figured out in less than 10. I feel like we could get thrown a bone with a hint if it goes on too long. 

Spoiler: I was looking for patterns in the meaning of the words rather than the form of the words

Other than that it's adorable

I kinda was confused in playing this honestly. I wanted to know tutorial or something to go back up and play tutorial for this as I was quite lost in what to do.

Developer

Fair enough, i was hoping it would be self explanatory cause there is not much. ill update the description see if that helps. thanks for trying it. you gotta toss or feed following the same secret rule the goblins are.

Submitted

okay thanks i'll try again later tonight.

Got the first three rules but after that I was too stupid to figure it out :(

thanks for playing, glad you got any :)

Maybe it's too late over here but I wasn't able to get any of the rules... :')

Developer

it was hard to tell if they were going to be easy or hard. first one helps if you played green glass door as a kid! thanks for trying it
