This is really cute. Maybe more of a puzzle than a game, but still fun. I almost couldn't figure it out. I admit that I looked through the source to make sure it was even possible to win! But I eventually figured it out and it was pretty satisfying. Nice little bite-sized game that hints at bigger possibilities, which is pretty much perfect for a Ludum Dare entry. Great work!

I'm not seeing a way to give ratings yet, but I'll definitely do that as soon as I figure out how!

Interesting little puzzle game! I played this yesterday with a friend and we couldn't figure out how to beat it- when I saw @kevinworkman's comment about solving it, I had to go back and give it another shot. Successfully completed it after a few tries! Overall a pretty solid experience. Simple clean graphics, fun narrative, and fitting sfx & music. Good stuff!

Solved it on my 5th try. I wish there were more levels. Good Job.

Hey there! This was actually really fun. I was REALLY hoping for a second level, actually. At first I didn't realize that it was a puzzle, but once I did I was so much more excited about it. Really cool way to take such a generic mechanic and make it interesting.

Also! You tried to play Evelyn, my game, but my link was broken! It's fixed and up now, if you wouldn't mind taking a second look. Hoping you won't be disappointed! Thanks for pointing that out for me!

I can't figure it out! Still a fun little puzzle, and I plan to keep trying.

I enjoyed the puzzle and the monologue was great and also explained the game well. I took me a few tries before I understood how to solve it, but that's the point of puzzles :) Thanks for making this!

Thanks I really enjoyed that. Took me a few tries! The writing was excellent -- I loved the part after the first failure. The graphics and quirky music worked well too.

Nice! I love the opening and closing photos. I almost wish the whole game had been like that! Really nice smart puzzle (and cool music) for 48 hours. Great entry!

Fun little puzzle! It oozes with charm, and I love the music. Great jam entry, and I definitely want to see more adventures of this little guy!

In terms of the overall style I feel it would be better if the dialogue bubble used a pixel font and was constrained to the game. It gives it kind of an odd feel the way it is now. The audio element could also have been hidden, but that would need a mute button in game to get the same effect.

Overall great entry!

Tricky puzzle... I struggled with it because the solution isn't logical. Interesting graphics, the photos took it to another level.
