It's in a strange place (in your dream under the water) and you have to find the things that are in a strange place as well (out of place).

Fun and funny, in the places I thought I glitched the game to get to I found them hiding so very thoughtful hahaha. Good job! :)
Thanks!!
Works really well on gamepad, which I appreciated right away. Movement feels smooth, and between the sprintand the satisfying little jump sound, just running around is fun. The particle effect while moving is a nice touch too.
The whole 3D spot-the-difference angle is clever. And the world does a good job of feeling very dreamlike, with the color palette complementing it. The music ties it together nicely and keeps it relaxed while searching. This was a pleasant world to be in and was really charming.
You expected a thank you but it was me, DIO!
No but seriously thanks.
What a cute little game! 💚
I really enjoyed finding the gnomes. One of them was standing in a T-pose for some reason... I think he was trying to pretend he was a wall. I was very surprised when I discovered the wall jump! Awesome!
If you have time, could you play our game?
To be fair, this was just a hide-and-seek game, so I didn't really expect good gameplay, but the art/music/experience made up for that. btw make the invisible walls go all the way up to infinity since I didn't jump over them and fall of the map
Thank you very much! That's a good point thanks.
Though i couldn’t find them all, i had the best time exploring this strange place!
Thank you very much!
A Simple game but its fun and thats all that matters, I'd spend more time on making the controls nicer to play around with, other than that amazing
8.5/10 :D
Thank you very much!!
Really fun game with nice movement and visuals. Nice job!
Thank you!!!
I really enjoyed the game, the movement felt smoth, music and sfx is perfect. I rate this game 7/10 boings
thank you for your boings kind sir
Hello! You have a very ambitious game here. I can see the hat in time influences via art style and the character movement feels good. I will say though, as a player I don't really have motivation to look for gnomes. What did the gnomes do to put Mr.Onesie wear in the ocean? :sob: Cool game :3
Thank you! Yeah we definitely took inspiration from this game, that's why the name is a homage to it I'm glad you noticed! That's a fair point. I think we should've added the gnomes taunting the player a bit at the start while running away giggling :')
I liked the design of the game! It might've been cool to do more with the fact that it's underwater, like floatier gravity or something? Not the best example but hopefully you get the idea
that could be a cool thing to explore with the underwater theme! or maybe something like bubbles that send you upwards.
Very fun game, I very much loved the movement mechanics, the movement felt very responsive even when doing parkour, the only thing that was giving me a bit of an headache was the camera clipping trough objects, but overall a really fun game
Thanks!! We noticed the same thing when playtesting. If we ever update the game that would definitely be the first thing to do.
*boing*
nice game! I have managed to find 3 gnomes only - I feel like sprinting should be the default speed, as the map is quite large and walking would be very slow.
really nice art-style and background music. 👍
Thanks! We thought the same at some point about the speed you're definitely right^
A funny little game with a really nice atmosphere.
Thank you!
Thank you!!!
