Really charming and unique game. I think you did a great job with everything. The narrative was especially engaging. Great work!!!

Super fun and chill. Has a cozy vibe that makes it easy to get into, and I could totally see myself playing through a bunch of levels just to relax. Love the music and the art style, really creative and unique!!

i love the atmosphere you built with the artstyle, music, and how the movement of the player affects the playback of the music.  the mirror levels were super cool, and theres a lot of potential for expansion!!  the control of the jump could use a bit more refining (it felt floaty, and like the charge up time for a big jump was too much), but i love how much polish the rest of the game got.  nice work!

I love the sketchbook artstyle. Tried that once myself. Never could get it. The game is very cool and the narrative better than any other this jam. Well done!

WOW WOW!

Really cool way of telling a story, being a tutorial / teaching the player while being poetic! 

It was actually pretty emotional, and the puzzles were great!

I really loved the ending as well!

Thank you game for motivating me to keep going! :D

I would love your rating to my game!

Such a relaxing game. The hand-drawn player is very nice to look at and control. While short, the levels are fun. Well done!

Submitted

some of the coolest puzzles I've seen!

Oh man, I'm in love with this game, amazing job and I love that you tied the sound design to the tape.

Hello! I really enjoyed your game. With the words your game does a lot with a minimalistic art style. Also the way they get slowly reveled gets meshed well with the sounds. puzzle difficulty fit with the vibe of the rest of the game. Congrats on submitting!

Nice work! I feel like our games are kindred spirits :) I appreciate the reactive audio design of course and the tape theme is lovely. Tutorial text was immersive and dream-like. Well done!!

5's across the board.  Really perfectly put together

This was awesome! Very excellently done puzzle platformer, with a fresh and creative take on the theme. What I really loved the most though was the seamless integration of narrative, atmosphere and tutorialization, that was incredibly impressive and immersive, great work!

Really awesome game. Very good concept and cool simple art style and perfect audio. Mechanics are clever!

Submitted

I love the simple aesthetic and the way the features were introduced thematically with the text. I found controlling the music to be the most interesting part for me and tried really hard to keep it smooth to a... limited... degree of success. It feels really well put together and the puzzle elements in each level are nice and simple.

Loved it from the very first second ! The audio really fits perfectly, love the art as well. The only things that bugged me out are the collisions with the arrow cubes (if it was smoother, not “bugging out” the audio, it would be better imo) and what feels like stiff controls regarding the jump. Adding a little feedback regarding the different state of jump would probably make it better. Besides that congrats! Great work and great approach of the theme!
