A short but interesting experience, yes. Gave me that vibe of the good old Mario 64 feeling of entering the paintings. While the puzzles and platforming were short and simple, the experience of how it made the things loop was a sight to behold. I was genuinely stumped on the third one, but when the solution hit me, I thought it was very clever.

I liked it a lot. Nice use of the theme and very creative to boot. Cheers! 🥂🐳

Cool game! I really liked that the paintings were different types of loops ^^
And also the face expression of the tomato was hilarious! Nice job!

WOW the frames and these abstract artworks with their smooth animations are really expressive.

This game reminds me a lot of the classic game Weird Dreams, for some reason.

The controls are quite snappy, the scrolling is smooth, and the art style is original and fun.

I think the music could use a bit more variety; but the mood of the game is mostly carried by the art and the facial expressions. Relly nice!

Hey played through the entire thing, loved the drawings and the puzzles were intuitive to solve, which led to a good game flow. Liked the minimal track for the music as well, some sound design I think would give a lot of life to this. Job well done considering how little time you had and that you did it on your own.

Great stuff! A really simple game, but very unique idea! I love how the level with the seesaw kind of breaks the fourth wall, and has you go the left of the map to reach the right! Super clever incorporation of the "loop" theme. The character's facial expressions are also hilarious and great. The looping paintings coming to life looks so neat. Mechanically a little barebones, but the experience was still really enjoyable!

That was a trippy ending. Cool idea, although I kind of wish the playground level was last. It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do

Oooooh That end, I felt so dumb pressing E on it. Great end and the mechanics were surprisingly easy to understand. Love the music and the cinematics.

The music is nice and the visual are good, I liked the parallax effect of the wall and how you moved the camera.

It's not very cohesive though, the first 2 paintings have the square puzzle, while the third is something else entirely, but they work well enough.

Advice is, if you want to add UI elements like the credits text, or the reset button, don't make it super small just because it is ugly, otherwise it becomes a bit useless (you could not see it, hard to click and stuff). I think it's better to give it the right size, and if it doesn't fit the visual style found a way to make it "prettier" if you can.

You've managed to create a complete experience, and it plays without troubles, so nice work!

You need to give more feedbacks to the others tho, otherwise you will not receive the 20 min ratings needed to get to the ranking!

Nice cute little game, it hade a unique feeling to it.
The puzzles weren't too difficult, but that's not necessary either.
Good job

Really nice game, gameplay is simple and it works very well, I like the animations they are so cool. Took me a while to figure out the third level how to get on the other side then I facepalmed so hard when I realized it was that simple. Almost sad they are only 3 levels. I also like the selection room it's pretty neat!
Well done this was super fun to play!
