It's a lovely gentle story that hit the game jams theme perfectly. I really like your art style. The maze was unexpected and at first i thought it was a bug then I realised it was a maze and somehow walked straight through it. I did feel a little ambient music was needed, but apart from that it is a great game.
Thank you. š
I was thinking to do maze more complicated, but there was a risk that Iād then have less time to fully finish the game. Good point about the music.
This is a cute little adventure game. The background graphics are my favorite. The puzzles weren't that difficult, but also not too easy. Just right to play a decent adventure game. I really enjoyed it!
Thank you. š I am happy you enjoyed it.
I still have to try other games from the jam, but I saw your cute dragon on Bluesky, and the pixel art is super cute.
"Heart on a Sleeve" was a thought-provoking experience. It was less about puzzles and more about the underlying concept and theme. While its distinct style might not appeal to everyone, the level of abstraction and the way memories are recounted naturally conjure vivid images in one's mind. All in all, a worthwhile experience.
Thank you for your review. I definitely wanted to make something different from my other games in terms of art and story.
The game so far is so loveley, beautiful and touching. Great.
I will play on soon, I just wanted to let you know that I managed to softlock myself. [Spoiler ahead] I used a second star on the first lantern and now I don't have enough for the others and can't pull it out again.
Thank you for the comment! It shouldn't make any difference which star you use for which light (there are only three of them). But I will double-check this.
(Ah, I got you now, I will fix it! š)
yeah, I used one star, the lantern lit up and I thought it might get brighter if I added a second star to it. So I did and it vanished. (only then I spotted the second lantern, but it was too late and I had only 1 star left for the two remaining lanterns...
And started again and finished it now. Did I mention it was beautiful? :-) I love your art and the story.
Btw - just for my curiosity: is the reflection a shader or a second character?
Thank you for the love to my work. It means a lot to me. š
The reflection is just an outfit for the character (sorry for murky photo)

I fixed the lantern issue now. Thanks again for pointing it out!
