One of the best games in this jam! Played it on stream and had fun teasing out these puzzles. Just a great game that reminds me of some classic webgames. Great job!

Thank you, that's very kind! Sorry I didn't get to yours before the rating ended. Really enjoyed it!

Is there a video from the stream somewhere? I would have loved to see you play my game :)

There is you can find the past streams here:

Awesome, thanks a lot! I enjoyed watching the video. I liked how open minded you were about the games and that you gave them all your best. 

I'm impressed how well you solved the puzzles in my game. It can't have been easy doing it while streaming and after already having played games for nearly three hours!

In the video you asked about which engine I used. As you speculated, it's my own little engine that has slowly taken shape over the years I've been doing game jams. It's quite limited in many ways but it works well for me since I know it so well by now. And I guess in a way the limitations help me with not scoping the games too big. Here's a screenshot of how this game looks in my editor.


Take care and thank you so much for the coverage on your stream :)

That is so cool! I imagine when you can tailor the entire engine to your liking that it makes things way quicker to develop for things like game jams. Way cool yo.

The puzzles were confusing a bit at first but then it all made sense! Also accidentally managed to get to the key in the endless labirynth before finding the stature XD

A very stylish game too! Very well made! ☆

Very great game. I had a blast playing it !
The atmosphere especially is fantastic

The only criticism I would have is that it would be nice to be able to leave the stones on the door in the final puzzle (while you check the different hints) but it wasn't a major problem either

You misfiled the fields for the jam though - the game page indicates that you did everything yourself, but the question for the jam submission is what did you NOT make from scratch during the jam

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the game 😁

Great suggestion with the stones on the door, I definitely agree with you on that.

And thank you for spotting the mistake with the submission. You’re right, I missed the ”not” in the question, haha 😆 I’ve fixed it now

An absolute delight to play. The style, movement, twist, the atmosphere… *chef’s kiss*. I have no words.

Hands down the puzzle game of this jam! The sound and art style were incredable. The world moving along with the cursor brought to so much character and visual flare. I had to look up answers for the dragon and well puzzle but other then that I was able to trial and error the other. Full marks, no notes. Really polished and refreshing play!

Very cool game! Love the art style! Great job!

Very cool and atmospheric puzzle game. Not sure what the story was, but it was very enjoyable going through the game and seeing the different variations of the number-block based puzzles.

This is gonna be my favourite game so far, oh wow. Well executed gameplay, smooth, really amazing as you slowly find out that you have to think your way through. I think mostly the only thing fighting you back is the puzzles not the game. But there is one big thing, which is the parallax, it can get dizzy after a while as you get sucked into the game, especially for people with motion sickness. The art direction, is REALLY cool, very coherent, balanced, have no issues with that. The audio change as well, really sets the vibe of the situation you're in. This was a blast of a game to play! (although without hints i think i wouldntve survived till the end haha)

Love the little animations of the Beakheads’ faces when they’re stunned, it adds such a great personality to the already quirky creatures. Nice game!
