very cozy and majestic
Greeaat game. Super cute, responsive and smart. I ended up not finishing because, and the only 'complaint' I have, is that some levels started to get a bit long and complex, and this didn't mean they became more fun. In puzzles, it's usually more valuable to have novelty and new 'aha' moments to think about than in the order of stuff, number of steps, etc. So I think the levels that had the same camera size as the starting ones were the most fun! Smart mechanics and interactions.
One small thing I would improve is the feedback of the mask effect, both on you and when you burn it. It's so quick it's hard to read. When I got the bunny mask for the first time I was dying repeatedly to the fire without understanding what was going on. Another feedback I would emphasize is the number of moves. Maybe make them flash when they reach sub-3, and when they get to 0, it tweens on scale and call for attention a lot before the in-world effects.
But aside from these tiny complaint and feedbacks, very good game and strong entry! Maybe I'll come back to try and finish after rating other projects. Congratulations to the team! o/
A very pleasant game to play, really good. Great mechanics, 100% beautiful and fun.
Everything is good in this game
A very enjoyable puzzle game!
Very, very cool, quite a variety of levels, it's pretty, the sound is in tune, it's a beautiful project
How do you unpause the game?
Use the WASD or the ARROW KEYS to select "RESUME," then press SPACE.
This is one of those cool strategic games. I really like the UI layout on the right with a bunch of stickers. I struggled at level 9 where the auto-leap was preventing me from reaching the destination after grabbing the masks.
This is a creative implementation to the theme of masks where the goal is to grab one and deliver it to the person looking for said mask.
