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.

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

I quite liked the art, and having to remember where to go was fun. Great game :D
Loved the concept and the tiny little blob of ink :)
A very natural and creative take on the countdown theme! I think it would be cool if walking over your existing trails used slightly less of the character’s ink)) Great work!
Woah, i didn't think of that idea. That would be really nice, big thanks for the idea! And thank you for the kind words, glad you like the game.
Super cute and fun! I can say I got a tiny bi bored, but I'm not a big fan of games with heavy backtracking so that's probably just me.
Thank you for playing! I totally inderstand this kind of game is not for everyone, and we have a lot room to improve the game. Thank you for the kind words!
The gameplay is adorable, I think I got close to the end. Sometimes it was really hard to decide what I was going to go after in my next revive, and I had to remember where to go to find what, which was a nice challenge.
Thank you for playing! I hope you enjoyed it.
Really cute game. I found it a little confusing to get to the last spot but I figured it out and it was pretty fun. The little ink guy is cute and overall I had a good time.
Thank you for playing!
Cute premise and execution but it would greatly benefit from some way of more clearly telling the player what the buttons are doing, what the keys are for etc, maybe some level 0 where it is super easy but teaches you the optimal paths and key-door-button interactions more naturally
Thank you for the feedback! Level 0 would be a great addition to the game for the player to teach them the basic of the game.
Really fun puzzles with a cool mechanic and a cute artstyle, a great game overall!
Thank you for the kind words!
Fun game, and a nice concept too forces you to think about where to go, and opens up a lot of creative puzzles.
Glad you liked it!
Very cute game, really natural to explore, loved it! I dont think I finished it, I got kinda confused with the keys and buttons as to what was already done in that run ahaha
Thank you for playing!
Really cute game and idea! This has so much potential, however I got confused on the progression and where to go. I didn’t know what the buttons did either, which made me more confused.
Thank you for your feedback!
A fun little world explorer where I have to think about the next path I should take after I die! Super fun and intuitive, plus I just love how cute the little ink guy is
Thank you for the compliment! Glad you liked it.
