How does your game fit the theme?
In Hickory, time slows down as the clock counts down and you must complete tasks to prevent the slowing of time. Also, the game takes place in a clocktower!

The scope of this is insane! Amazing art and soundtrack! One piece of constructive criticism I have is that the pipe minigame felt harder and longer than the other minigames. I'm not really sure how you would nerf it though.
Everything i could possibly say has already been said if i read through the comments, ye its an fucking awsome game. Also as a side note, Grey Wake looks incredible
We didnt want to use GMTK (our work "retreat") to promote our main project (Grey Wake) but we really appreciate that you think its cool!
Thanks for trying the game out it means a lot! For everyone else! Even if we aren't responding to all the comments we sit and read all of them when they come in!
nice game i like the art !
This is really impressive for the game jam and a really cool concept!
I came back to play this again after 24 hours and I'm just blown away. This is peak.
I wish the hitbox for attack was a liiiittle bigger but fun nonetheless!
I really liked the artstyle.
My goodness what an incredible game! The art, the music, the little puzzles, the story, it had it all! I enjoyed every minute of it :)
5 stars across the board!
Congratulations, what a joy to play through! Pretty please come back next year and make another fantastic game!
Very clean game! I found the minigames sometimes a bit frustrating when it doesn't register my cursor and bc they're kinda repetitive, but the execution is really well done. So gorgeous and a cool concept!!
Beautiful art style and enjoyable game feels very polished and fits really well with the theme
its hard to tell where the cursor is because the hand is kinda big, which means that for things like the gear minigame it can be kind of frusturating. Other then that, I really like it! aesthetics are immacculate, very inventive use of the clock and the one minute time limit.
I was gonna say the same thing! But maybe besides the cursor icon being big, there's also maybe not enough feedback that you've "grabbed" a piece or not.
Really nice art!
This is always a bit troublesome when implementing custom cursors lol. We'll definitely fix this the second we can!
This game is really good, i think it can be a full game especially with this art style.
Wow, this feels like a complete game! Beautiful art and theme interpretation. Control can a bit finicky at first, especially played in browser. Really good work!
Really cool game, difficult but fun!
Such an amazing game! I don't even know what to start with; everything felt so great, from artwork to music, SFX, VFX, narrative, UX, and progression. You nailed it! I would love to see this game released somewhere; I would definitely buy it. You guys are amazing!
peak game cant wait to see a full one!
what a fantastic game! I love the clear inspiration of story-like fantasy composers like Gareth Coker and Christopher Larkin, and its *seriously* well executed too. I'm not an artist or programmer, so I can only say those things seem really great too, but from an audio POV, I'm very impressed. Great mix quality, clearly live performances thrown in, and well placed too, incredible use of string techniques for diversity in the orchestration, whilst not over-complicating to dim the effect of the story and art's presence. Bravo!
This game is stunningggg! The art and music are genuinely beautiful, and the game is fun and immersive too.
Holy moly, this game is awesome! The art was great, and I especially liked the sound design; it felt very tactile. Really cool minigames too.
IN CRE DI BLE. Clear winners of the jam.
