Lowkey our games are very similar

This is so fun! I really liked the chill atmosphere while trying to solve puzzles. It was very interesting to see how the puzzles played out once multiple boxes were introduced.

Developer

Glad you liked it! My brain nearly melted designing the levels with multiple boxes

I really loved this entire concept. It was so mind-bending and creative!! Amazing polish, amazing visuals, and amazing music! Loved every aspect of this project!!

Developer

Thanks so much for the good words

Hey, I tried your game and it’s honestly really impressive, it feels super polished for a jam

The whole idea of going in and out of boxes and how that evolves into puzzles is really well done, it kept surprising me. The art style and animations are also really charming, especially the overall vibe of the game

Some transitions felt a bit slow at times, but overall it’s a really solid experience

Great work, this one definitely stands out

I’m also in the jam, so if you get a chance to check my game I’d love to hear your thoughts

Developer

Really appreciate it!, maybe the box transitions with one and two boxes should be a little faster

Submitted(+1)

This is super cute. A bit slow for me but I think it would make a great kids game. The getting out of the box mechanic amazes me. That' wicked cool. Its just a teleport but how its done amazes me.

Developer

Yeah, half the development time was just building and maintaining the mechanic of getting in and out of the boxes. Glad you liked it

Enjoyed this one a lot, big Cocoon vibes, and i adore this very sleepy kitty quite a bit. I think things were a little bit slow paced at times (namely with the transitions between boxes, felt like it could've been shortened a little), but I had fun and played all the way to the end, very good time

Developer(+1)

You are right about the transition speed, a little faster would make trying out puzzles quicker. Cocoon and Patrick's Paradox were my two main references.

Phenomenal work here! This is for sure going to be one of my personal favourites of the game jam!

Developer(+1)

Really glad it was enjoyable for you!

I absolutely adored this game. The graphics, the polish like wow this is definitely a top 50 contender.
I had one little oopsie where the first level going in the box and out of the box I moved the cone back and forth and it disappeared into the void lol.

Developer

Glad you liked it! That is weird, I've never seen that bug before, even in the playtestings

Submitted(+1)

I was kind of messing up the puzzle and kept going back and forth so user error definitly contributed to it haha

Submitted(+1)

An adorable little puzzle game with a cute, bouncy art style and enough polish that I occasionally forgot I was playing something made for a game jam.

Developer

Wow thanks. I am used to working on 3 days game jams so I had the urge to polish as much as I could in a month long project

Fantastic puzzle game!! Blew my mind at point tbh!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it! thanks for playing

Soup is perfect. My one gripe, i just wish you could rebind controls. I play on laptop keyboard, so right clicks, especially holding them, are tough. Amazing game though

Developer(+1)

Uff, you are right, I didnt even think about laptop controls.
For anyone having this issue, I think you can also control the game with the K and L keys on the keyboard (development controls)

Loveleyyyyy gameee LLoved the art stlylized look of the game, the animations, ooooo the transitions!

Submitted(+1)

Usually I do a big review with  all the things I think could be improved a little or any feedback. 

There I just want to say CINEMA

The game is AMAZING, it deserves to get top 1, I don't know what the other have cooked but this game will be very hard to beat. 

EVERYTHING is great, the main mecanic is the best puzzle mecanic I have seen in a while. At first it is more or less a simple teleportation point but by the end (I finished the game, took me like 30 min) it has developped into something really increadible.

Massive shout out to the anti soft lock, helped a lot when I was making bad decisions x). 

5 stars all around, increadible work !

Developer(+1)

Just wow, thanks so much for the support. I am glad you liked it

I really thought nobody was going to appreciate the anti softlock systems I implemented hahaha, It was a real challenge not to leave any softlock situations in the game.

Thanks again for the good words
