How does your game fit the theme?
This game's narrative prompts the player with pomodoro style timers to spend time away from the game, but the game also has a real time clock that counts down a global deadline for the player to solve the main puzzle and beat the game.

I was drawn in by the aesthetic but actually? I’m so glad I played it! I’m going to take a stroll first but I will leave this here so I remember to finish reviewing this! Thank you for making this game during a time where I’m mentally stuck in a pit
Incredible on all fronts- the character design is absolutely stunning and the message/motivation to ensure people take care of themselves in these times, wow. Beautiful, well done!
I absolutely love the adorable character designs and how charming this little world feels. But the moment that really got me was when I was talking to the sun, happily wandered out of the crater, and it still kept watching me the whole time hahaha 😆 Such a small detail, but it gave the game so much personality. I really love this idea!
I like it alot feels like more than a game
Incredible game! Maybe I will start a book club... :)
yeah it's goated
did every task with my housemate and finished the game!
This was such an adorable concept! I love the Super Mario Galaxy vibes :)
Cool idea but not my cup of tea
beautiful narrative and incredibly charming.
I want to give you some constructive feedback but I can't find any, the idea is so unique and thoughtful. The theme integration has SO MUCH SOUL.
The artistic side is something I would love to see how you got done, I've been finagling with 3D the last year and I'm aiming to get this type of work done on jams too.
Gonna follow cause I wanna be playing when the world ends.
Really beautiful - i love the character design, and i love the environment feel! Gorgeous indeed
I really loved this game, It has such a great vibe and made for a relaxing afternoon. The puzzles are really cool and I like flinging my little guy into space. Incredibly creative and cool submission! I came back to edit my comment after getting the final puzzle. Great ending! Made me smile :)
This is something else. Gorgeous art, lovely sound, and a genuinely clever take on the theme that had me stepping away from the screen. Hard to believe it's solo. One of the best things I've played this jam.
Check out my game if you get a chance, a chess roguelike called Final Gambit: /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4813276
I found you from Instagram! I can really see the inspiration from the Hank Green's bean game. Where do I begin...
The premise is really cool. There's a special space in my heart for ephemeral games. The storyline and concept work so well with the theme, I'm honestly sad I didn't think of it myself. I also like how the game inspires self-improvement
The art is adorable I spent a whole 5 minutes just on the character selection screen because all of the stars looked so nice <3 I WILL put my life on the line for them
The sound effects are really impactful. In general, the gameplay experience is really pleasant. I like being able to click on random things to make them spin, etc.
I really hope you do well in the competition!
i drew this :>
I love this game's whole vibe and artstyle and everything, how you made this as a solo dev is insane! its really admirable! beautiful game!
I am stuck on the last puzzle though with the keys and planets, and i looked at the hint and I still can't figure it out, I'm hopeless ;-;
Wow this is such a refreshing little game! The visuals are so soothing, and I love the dithering shader you used on it! The music is really atmospheric and the sound effects are very charming :) I'm still trying to figure out the last puzzle because I think I missed something initially (oops), but I'll take a break and come back to it! Maybe go on a walk or chat with my friends :D
This game was engineered in a lab SPECIFICALLY to get everyone who spent 96 hours staring at a screen for GMTK to do something other than stare at a screen
I feel like I lived through a cannon event
What a refreshing take! This will definitely be on my mind for a while.
Such a cute idea, and the art is simply so cool. I also wanted to share the drawing I made when prompted to draw!

that's what i'm TALKING about!! thank you so much for playing and sharing!!!
