I really liked the puzzles involving the flowers and bird.\n\nThe maze puzzle was a little frustrating because the solution had nothing to do with the maze and it felt kinda pointless?\n\nThere are three passages that I can't imagine anyone reasonably finding without using the hints: the one in the maze, the one leading to the turtle, and the one past the blue flower door.\n\nThe other hidden passages are in good spots, because you'll naturally bump into them, but those three are not only out of the way, but there's no indication that there might be something there.\n\nI would move the maze one down to one of the dead ends, the turtle one down to the floor level of the pit, and the blue flower one should just be hinted at somehow (adding more empty space between the door and the wall might be a good enough hint).\n\nIt didn't really feel like a \"loop\" to fit the theme. Just kinda felt like a normal game with multiple endings.\n\nOther than all that, though, I had a really fun time playing this game! It reminds me of classic exploration games. Knytt comes to mind, I wonder if it was a source of inspiration?\n\nI appreciate the bird's notes being both visual and auditory.","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld47\/226272-5c2e2111be94d376d4f87b1f81fe3ff6.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/natethegreat2525.itch.io\/seeker","text":"Youtube"},{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/natethegreat2525\/LudumDare47","text":"Youtube"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"57220","g_author":"1054173","g_event":"LD47","g_eventkey":"76","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"266270","g_title":"Seeker","g_status":"PVT1","g_place":"775","g_commentcount":"19","g_site2_node_id":"226272","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"226272","n_urlkey":"266270","n_parent":"212256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/47\/seeker","n_slug":"seeker","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"54173","n_created":"1601897200","n_modified":"1602376210","n_version":"703651","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":226272,"parent":212256,"superparent":9,"author":54173,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2020-10-05T11:51:15Z","created":"2020-10-05T11:26:40Z","modified":"2020-10-11T00:30:10Z","version":703651,"slug":"seeker","name":"Seeker","body":"\u200bSeeker is a puzzle adventure game where you are stuck in a groundhog-day like time loop and must discover everything about the world for yourself.
