Nice game but a reset button would be nice when you get stuck moving the boxes.
Beautiful game. A bit hard to control at times...but worth it. (I did get stuck for a little while because I thought the wizard hat was supposed to do something, though. Maybe add a ? for that.)
I would prefer to use only 1 arrow for each direction. Not diagonals. 2 buttons for each direction is not the common way on games with this perspective.
Well I apologize for the controls! If you own a controller/gamepad, you might find it easier to use a joystick to move around! That's one of the reasons why I added multiple control methods.
Problem on Jump when it's going Right+Down. Space key not works.
Sorry to hear you're having issues! How are you controlling the game: controller, WASD, arrow-keys?
Arrows. With WASD the problem not occurs. This is a problem with keyboards, they don't accept Right + Down + Space at same time.
Interesting... On my end, using arrows, I can perform those inputs together just fine! I wonder if it could be a hardware issue on your end? Regardless, it's good to know that the issue exists.
my laptop won't let me use the space bar in any application when I'm holding Left+Up arrows, seems like a weird glitch that just happens with some keyboards
nice game! unfortunately i found a softlock here...
can't wait to see where it goes though!
Oh interesting!! I don't think I realized you could get back there without the push ability! Good to know...
Such a great work! It is short, but the puzzle using item collection and combinations, along with the memorable story presentation... I enjoy it so much, meow! 🐾
The ability to push objects sometimes moves them in an unexpected direction, and I accidentally block the entrance and cannot get out.
But it is so fun that I do not mind at all, meow!🐱
my playthrough
I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'm sorry you got stuck! 🙇♂️🙇♀️
meow～😽
that was a very cute game :) jumping is a bit finnicky (holding down the jump button causes a lot of unwanted jumps, especially when holding it is necessary for the hover ability) but the abilities are cool! I liked the ending :)
Very cute! I think I managed to find everything... though I did glitch through the floor on purpose at one point 👀💦
Very sweet, enjoyed playing!
just like that one movie! /j
love the vibe ur isometric platformer games have ! Also the little arrow for doors is nice to have 👍
It's great to see your isometric mazes and explore through them again. I think I got everything too - 3 heads, 3 bodies and 3 accessories, all of which I'm pleased with.
I think I beat everything! This was a great game, and I did feel happy playing it.
I wondered why the music changed with one of the options? There were also some symbols I didn't understand yet...
Well, each body part has its own music layer, so different combinations will play different music! I assume that's what you mean; Sara our composer did a lot of work on it!
Very cute and I love the idea and the music/SFX! I got stuck in a bug where I went through a wall and kept spawning in the water. But otherwise this brought me joy.
Huh! Thought I’d fixed that… that’s annoying! Sorry you got softlocked!
