It's an amazing result for a first game!

Absolutely wonderful visuals and very fitting audio design. Thank you for this experience.

Truly beautiful, do more!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I will do something more for sure.

Submitted

Beautiful game and very impressive for your first! The audio design was great, from the wobbly plants to the carpet. I loved the little  wires connecting to different things. You should be proud!

Developer

Thank you! I recorded this wobbly sound years ago for an animated short and ended up not using it, now finally it's hour has come, haha.

Submitted

Wow, beautiful game ! You got that Amanita vibe down with your own spin to it.
I wanted more levels :)

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

The art is sick! Beautiful game! It's pretty rare to see a point-and-click game nowadays. How did you come up with the idea? And what inspired the art style?

Developer

Thank you! I mean, it all comes to what am I good at and what I need to learn. I'm good at macro photography, animation and couple other things, and I want to learn game design and some coding. I tried Popochiu and figured out I could make point-and-click game with my minimal programming knowledge. Also I quite like these types of games, the first games that I played in my childhood were point-and-click (Neverhood, for example).
I don't think there was a moment when I came up with a particular idea. I photographed this stump because I thought it had potential to be used as a background, and then looked at the photo and tried to put different elements in different places.

AHH! I really liked it! 🤩

The perfect music, the concept is brilliant and simple, it is cute and I appreciate the mixed media with the macrophoto you used as a base for your game! ❤️✨
It took me a little time to find out what to do, but that reminded me that that's part of the game to figure it out. Amazing!

I'm putting 5 stars everywhere in my ratings! Good job ;D

Photograpy is a really good idea. I would like a whole video game of this universe. ^u^

That was beautiful! Would love to see more of your photography in another gamejam or if you've got a link to a website. Keep it up!

Developer

Thank you so much! Didn't have a website, but made it really quick, why not? Here: https://pchelovek1205.portfoliobox.net/
I don't really post macro photos to social media, except for iNaturalist, but there good photos are buried in between a lot more "quick and dirty" ones. But here is my profile there: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/2992263

I think it is great, that you combined something from your life in this game! The stump looks stunning. It was a short nice puzzler.

Developer

Thank you!

This was beautiful, I was shocked with the art style, although short it was still a really nice experience

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

This was very cute!! I love the art and animation, it felt super nice!! Really impressed this was your first game, I think using your pictures like that is a very cool style!!

Thank god you added the little bubble that said “i think i need something else” cause i was going to spend an hour there hahaha

Good job!! You can be very proud of your first game!!

Developer

Thank you! I am really glad that people like this! Was it easy to figure it out after the hint was shown? It's hard to balance between too vague and too obvious.

Submitted

I was stuck for like 4 minutes on that blue thing near the door, so i instantly knew it was going to be of use haha (it actually took me longer to open the door than to light up the lights)!

I agree, balancing this kind of stuff is hard, I’m not sure how people do it!
