How does your game fit the theme?
The player movement acts as a literal countdown because every step continuously drains your health (ink). If the ink reaches zero, player run resets.

fun little adventure. i was taken aback when the key also missing when we “dies”. i like the overall visuals and vibe too which feels chill but also still curious to explore the paper world.
Thank you for the kind words!
Cute ink blot my beloved. It's also nice that the clock does not run down unless you move, as it does give you some time to breathe.
Thank you for the kind words!
A simple and heartwarming little game. I love that the ink still has some room to move before it dries, which makes perfect sense! Everything is done really well, though I'm still a bit unsure about what the button is supposed to do.
Thank you for playing! We are aware the game clarity is a bit lacking and we learned a bunch from this jam project.
Great puzzle game! I loved the cozy aesthetic and the concept was really unique, thinking about where to place my ink trails lead to some cool decision making! Great Job!
Thank you for the compliment! Glad you liked the game.
Great game. I honestly dont have much to nag about. The music is peaceful and good, the art style is so cute and well done, and the game itself is very unique and a good concept. Im not very good with puzzle games but i still enjoyed it alot. Good job this was really impressive to be good in all 5 criteria!
Thank you so much for the kind word!
Very adorable, and there's something so cozy about playing this! Very well made!
Thank you for the kind words! We target the game being cozy, and looks like we've done well.
There is something so nostalgic about the bgm. I loved it and the gameplay was cute and on theme
Thank you for the compliment! I wonder what part of the music being nostalgic :D
This is soooo cute! The idea is very unique and the artwork and music fit so well! I enjoyed the puzzle aspect as well, the use of ink from one round to another is so clever!
Thank you for the compliment! Glad you liked the game.
That was so wholesome experience! I think it being low pressure exploration game with the count down aspect being only a slight inconvinience worked really well. And the character was so cute, I want one! Well done :)
Thank you for the kind words! Yeah, we target the game to be a low pressure game, and i think it worked out really well.
A charming and fun experience that is almost a metroidvania. Although just notes are a bit too cryptic and I was lost most of the time, exploring the world has been quite fun!
Thank you for playing! Yeah, we got some feedback about the notes being bit confusing to understand
Such a fun idea, i love the art and music its so good.
Thank you for the kind words! Im glad you like the game.
Oh my goodness I made a game really similar to this when I was 14 except it was a platformer, I love it!! Such a cute character and concept and a great way to approach the count down as being life. I love how revives are part of the gameplay and for me I didn't mind backtracking too much. It seems a lot of the suggestions I have were emphasized in previous comments, mostly for me being confused what was considered interactable/collectable and what wasn't initially until I played the game a bit more. But there's lots you can do with this post jam, you've made something very very lovely!
I love your little blob character, I have a few game characters that are just blobs too
Thank you so much for the kind words! Our illustrator wants to personally thank you for the art you made, it's SO CUTE. The feedback so far is really helpful, and we want to thank you for the feedback. Once again, thank you for the artwork!
need visual changes to distinguish which doors need keys/push buttons, overall a cute game - teleports are confusing at times~ overall a wonderful experience :) cute art too
Thank you for the feedback, it will definitely help us improve the game. Thank you for playing!
Cute game. Really liked the art and the overall concept. It was Fun to play
Thank you for playing! Glad you liked it.
This game is adorable! It reminds me so much of the little Ferro Pet's you know? It's so cool! Great Job!
Thank you for your compliment!
well this game is very charming! i was wondering if my previous ink could get me less or no loss of ink. i'm not sure if this is intended but in the second scene the palette is used as a wall but in the right 3 screen you can walk over it? also all the little things on the road like colors and pencils and such felt like collectibles rather than just decoration. i'm not sure if its that rewarding if those won't give me any feedback, if you give me the feeling of going near them. but the art of it was very cute and i enjoyed going over the puzzles ! good job !!
Thank you for playing! Yes, some environment object such as palette acts as a shortcut after reading the sticky notes. And thank you for the feedback for the decoration on the road, you feedback helps us improving the game.
cute lil ink blob and a cute soundtrack gives very cozy feels to this game ^v^ had fun playing the game and having to do everything in an efficient way to not die was also a really nice challenge

Loved the concept and the tiny little blob of ink :)
