The puzzles are fun and well designed.
I liked the feedback, and the visuals work nicely.
Solid entry!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on our game as well if you get the chance.

Great puzzles. The third one took me a moment to realize what I needed to do...or maybe I was just distracted by the cool visuals.

Love it. The slider puzzle was challenging and quite addictive. Great visuals and overall great job

This was really good. A WebGL 3D first-person puzzle game running this smooth during a jam already catches my eye, but you really nailed it with the presentation too. The retro-style graphics mixed with the dream-like environments worked so well together. The block particle effects used were so good-looking and added a lot of style. The puzzles themselves were engaging. I spent a good amount of time thinking through them. The felt fair, clever, and satisfying to solve.

Great visuals, smooth performance, and good puzzle design. Awesome job!

10/10 !!! I love the noises the slider makes when you move it. It was pretty noticeable that there is a skip when rotating, I've encountered this too and I fix it by manipulating my rotation methods, adding/removing clamps and stuff like that. lmk if you need help figuring that out. Other than that this game was amazing, I played all the way through and enjoyed it (spent more time than I'd like to admit on the cricket haha) finally, the sky looks AMAZING. Did you make that yourself??

Developer(+1)

Yeah absolutely if you have any technical tips I'd love to hear them! I did also make the sky yeah, it's just a particle system and a sky material, I'm really glad you enjoyed the game!

I really enjoyed this! The pipes had me stumped for a bit and the visuals on the well level were fantastic! The music is a great touch as well.

Developer

Thanks for playing, glad you liked it!

I love the animated intro the visual style of this game is exactly my tastes. It also showed me how bad I am at slide puzzles.

Developer(+1)

Haha same I can't do them either, glad you liked it!

Very good game! nailed on the difficulty

Developer

Thanks! It took some playtesting haha, the tile puzzle was 4x4 at first which would've sucked.

The multicolored cube stars were wonderful! Felt like trying to escape a music box. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, that's a really cool vibe, I'm glad you liked it!

Well done doing it all alone! Sometimes difficult to know what to do but you nailed the theme with your strange place!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I'm happy you think it fit the theme well, it was lots of work but totally worth it!

Submitted(+1)

Cool stuff! i liked the environments and the overall vibe, puzzles are not too hard to solve. Good job!

Developer

Thankyou! I appreciate the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

Not bad, I don't like puzzles, but I like the visual!

Developer

Haha thanks for playing!

Nice choice of music--it really set the scene! I enjoyed the different rooms, and the puzzles were well executed! (I read below the well puzzle was supposed to be trial and error--that definitely threw me off a bit, but the other puzzles were really clear without any extra explanation).

Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, I'm glad I found that music it's really good! I appreciate the feedback, I'll have to do something about the well puzzle after the jam!

Submitted(+1)

Such a fun game!! The visuals were very consistent and interesting, the puzzles were intuitive and fun, and the audio was so cute! AND the thumbnail was very interesting and caught my eye right away. I only wish that there were more puzzles or that they lasted longer! Overall really glad I played it!

Developer

Thankyou so much for the feedback, I'm really glad you liked it!

Oh I lovet if visually! Puzzles are cool. I'm afraid I didnt get to understand how teh well puzzle works.I guess that the colors that rise up have something todo with the colors in the cranks, but I wasnt able to see what it has to do; the ones that matched didnt seem to work and I wasnt able to see a "opposite" opption neither; I solved that puzzle as a try and error thing until I got it right.

The grasshopper one feel very  comfy, now I want to try to program oen of thoose!

Developer

The well puzzle is my bad haha, it is supposed to be solved with trial and error but the colors throw it off a little - they were just supposed to help the player remember which crank is which. 
Thanks for the feedback, good luck programming your own!

Developer
