The presentation of this is fantastic! Not sure if this is inspired by another puzzle, but it's new to me, so kudos on the gameplay! Wondering if you're interested in keeping the project going once the jam is over. The only nitpick I'd have (not complaining, just feedback to help if you keep going with it) is to rotate the pieces when clicking anywhere in the bounds of the piece...I kept not-hovering over them as I rotated them out from under my mouse.

Keep it up though!

Really nice! Such a relaxing puzzler. You really stuck by that "less is more" philosophy with the level count (please make more!), but I thoroughly enjoyed my time with what was there. Really polished. Great art. Fitting music. Great job!

Submitted

Beautiful puzzles and aesthetics. The whole thing is very elegant. Less is indeed more here with regards to the experience! I wish there were more puzzles since I found all of the ones you made really satisfying. I hope you continue development.

If you are interested in another game with somewhat of a similar mechanical take and hand drawn art like yours, maybe give 60:00 a look, I'd be very interested to see what your team thinks about it. :D

I played through the whole thing - gorgeous art and fun puzzle! Do you think you will make more levels?

Submitted

Really creative puzzle idea, and the art is beautiful.

Really cool game, If you released this as a mobile game I would play it on the toilet for hours. The music's a bit corny though.

Submitted

So chill, so relaxing. <3 I love the artwork and the soothing plant vibes. The puzzle mechanic is simple but a few of them caught me for a bit. Very well done. :)

Really beautiful game , such a nice addictive game with nice music. We couldnt stop playing ,  can see this game as a mobile game where i spend hours into 

Submitted

It's so addictive! The music, the gameplay, and the art — everything feels great

Submitted

Woaah, im so mesmerized. The cozy feeling really hit me there

Submitted

A really cool, relaxing game! I really liked the execution of this Tetris-like idea (especially the music and visuals)!

Submitted

ok wow how didn't I find this earlier? This is such a gem, it feels super polished and the gameplay is so smooth! 5 stars no notes

Submitted

Super cozy and relaxing, and a great use of the theme! left me wanting more levels tbh :)

Submitted

I'm humbled every year by the insane polish that folks manage to put into their games in four days, amazing job!

It's very difficult to make puzzles where they feel intuitive yet challenging- and I feel like you really nailed that sweet spot! I don't consider myself particularly good at these sorts of puzzles but I was able to make it through the whole game, never spending longer than a couple minutes at each level (which I'd consider is just the right amount)! Thanks for this :)

Beautiful game, perfect, cozy entry! Love the artwork, everything is perfectly balanced, good understanding of your strengths!

Submitted

very beautiful game ! I really like the puzzles, the difficulty curve was perfect ! I also really like your take on the countdown not being time related , it was very enjoyable ! 

Submitted

This has such a lovely vibe and atmosphere! A clever idea for the theme and really fun and relaxing to play, well done!
