Really unique game that fits the theme super well (also the name lol), the art was cute and the sound design fits the game. It's really fun to play because it engages you in a way that's unique (having to problem solve in another fashion than e.g a platformer). The tutorial was nice and the different difficulty levels were also well implemented.
The effort put into the game shows!
Thank you so very much.
Amazing game was a blast to play.
Thank you🙏🎉
This is such a fun brain-teaser / puzzle game! This game feels incredibly polished and complete, it feels like a real game that would be put on Steam! I love the varying difficulties and the inclusion of a tutorial to ease players into the gameplay!
neat game!
Thanks :)
it was fun! i like the concept and the artsyle is really cute. My one advice/wish is that the scene transitions/animations were a little quicker. Good Job!
Added it to the list of things to get done. Thanks for playing and giving advice;)
im rich!!
Wait..... What!!!! How 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I discovered a bug where if you click the crab at the end more than once it keeps giving you money over and over again (up till about 8 times)
Thanks for this. Will fix🎉
no dont fix it i like being rich
Very neat gameplay loop! I got into a rhythm by locking down a couple shape related hints, then getting location hints that eliminated whole rows at a time - it was really satisfying to confidently turn a whole row off :) Great work guys!
I have a soft spot for puzzle games and this one really hits! I loved trying to figure out which hint would give me the most information with the smallest cost! This game was so fun to play!
Thanks so much for the comment and the kind words. We really appreciate you🙏
Was a very fun and cute game. I enjoyed trying to figure out which house was the right one based on the clues. But I just wish I had figured out that "clear" meant patternless earlier.
Thanks for playing. The list for improving grows. As soon as the jam is done we will update a lot of stuff. Thanks for the great feedback. This will shape the game. :)
Fun game! Very well made :) I wish I didn't have to buy hints, and sometimes the hints already rule out things the previous hints ruled out. Maybe if they were called tips instead or something I'd feel better about using them? Overall really fun and loved the puzzles :D
Awesome, thanks so much for the feedback. Definitely agree. Will try and filter to mak sure all hits Tips help is some way. Thanks again. :)
Awesome. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked the game. The comment meant a lot and the advice has gone onto the list. We have a lot planned🎉
I really like the art! The puzzles are cool, too. Fun game!
Thanks so so much:)
I really liked the game, it really keeps you interested and I found the concept very intriguing. It was a good way to interpret the theme, and it gives the game a lot of charisma
Thanks so much for the comment. We really appreciate it. 🙏
"Watson, did she really get all that money from selling sea shells by the sea shore? It might be a shell company"
Hahahahaha made my day. :)
Super unique idea, I love the solving puzzle by using hints on the grid. The graphics are really cute, and the UIs are done really well. The level of detail and gameplay is admirable for the time period. Great work!
Thanks so much 🙏
It was a fun game loop but I am not sure if i got it correct or not
This is a really unique idea! The UI is very clean, and the game in general feels very good to navigate. I appreciated the little quality of life features like the "full row select" you can do by clicking on the row or column name. The level of polish is really impressive, especially for a small team and a short jam. A small detail that broke me out of my flow in the game was how there isn't really an indicator to tell you whether or not you've sleuthed out the correct house (at least, not that I saw). I was a bit confused for a bit on what to do when I had cleared the board except for one correct square but still had plenty of hints left. Once I figured out that you're just supposed to refresh once you've found the right locations, I had fun making deductions. It's a cool game!
Hi. The crab in the right hand corner is the submit button. :) just click and hold your choice until green. If it frowns look for the purple tile . That is the correct home. thanks for the review;)
peak!
Thanks 🙏
Fun twist on this kind of puzzle, the theming and the art were incredible and the UI feels good to use with the sound effects. Nice work!
Thanks so much. Had very little time for balancing and wanted to do more. But for now we are happy.
