Work in Progress screenshot. Really liking how this is turning out.

Great game, really enjoyed all the story wiritng!

Nice, created a nice vibe!

I really love the art for this game. Nice narrative too. Great work!

love the art, the camera movement is really satisfying :D, the movement could've been a bit better though

the art is really nice, it is a great game for mobile and andriod. It was nice getting the info at the beggining on how everything works because if not I would have been 100% lost....

I liked this a lot. The time travel mechanic is great and I love how it supports the theme and story.

This is a great one! I really enjoyed the world-building here and the art style is great. I also really liked the music.

Very well made!

Amazing pixel art and audio, really enjoyed the feeling in this game and the quirky writing

Great game,good graphics and history!

Yeay made it to the end Thats quite long game for a jam like just wow

Great game! I really love the pixel art, the player animations are really smooth.

I also really like how you put in a hint system, I got pretty confused at the start so those sparkles really helped me out :)

I do think the movement is a little bit clunky, I don't see any reason to restrict the player the grid in this game. It took me a long while at the beginning to figure out why the movement wasn't lining up with my input. Perhaps it would be a good idea to make the background more clearly tile based if the player movement is to be restricted to the grid.

It also took me a while to understand the point of the game, maybe that could be made a little more clear at the start of the game somehow?

Overall, I really enjoyed playing the game. The aesthetics set a nice and relaxing atmosphere, which compliments the theme of the game perfectly. Great work!

Thank you everyone for the comments, and even playing my game at all! Hope you all enjoyed the jam!

I really love the story! The puzzle was fun to play out :D awesome work!

I love this style very much.

Amazing level building. that's quite a number of places to visit!

Really good entry, enjoy that you took the theme and twisted it on then head by applying it to history. Nice Job!

Absolutely awesome @fables this was the best one I've played so far. Managed to do 100% and loved every second of it.

I don't know but this game is pretty outstanding compared to the others I've seen. It feels of this game is something else. I might just be nostalgia but I really love the environment and the puzzles are very engaging. Outstanding Game!!!

I love the art style for this game. The concept is good too. I could definitely see this being fleshed out into an entire game!

I'm a youtuber, your game is very nice! I want to make a video with the best games of LDJam46. Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOdTsWE7iIk .
Can I find your game also on indiexpo website? The channel is linked with them.

@torh Sure thing, I can look into uploading it to indiexpo also. Really appreciate you considering this game for the video! You can find my twitter at @FablesGameDev if you want to chat :)

You are welcome! Take me tuned!

@torh https://www.indiexpo.net/en/games/look-back Page is set up :) Web and Windows should both work.

Pretty cool! Time travel is a marvelous thing.

Cool game @fables! :) I saw Dan play it on his stream, and now I've tried it for myself as well. Great solo game entry. Art and music are great! Whenever I went into fullscreen though the menu button ended up almost in the middle of the screen? Seems like you have your canvas scaling set to constant pixel size?

@luckyfeathers Yeah haha, Menu was the last thing I managed to add and made the web build straight after testing it was ok on the small windows version :P Fixed now but keeping the jam link as-is :) Thanks for playing!

The art, music and mood is really nice. I think the camera and UI needs some work, it feels a bit too zoomed in, especially since the graphics are so nice, I really want to see more of it. The menu button on the middle of the screen is a bit in the way as well. But I think the game itself is really cool, im getting a very nostalgic feel of it.

graphics and art are cool. i think it would be great to have bigger perspective and see more on screen. also i managed to get out of screen, camera was to slow to follow. with some polishing this game should be really good.

Fantastic work. You got so much done in the 48 hours.

You captured such an intense mood with comparatively little dialogue or exposition. Your world building was great. I loved all the little touches like the increasing apparent wealth and grandeur of the Mayor and his family at the expense of everything else.

cool mechanics !

I was able to go to the secret room! (and tweet you about it haha)

Great job! I really liked to play your game, it was really intriguing, it puts your in the right mood right at the start between the pretty graphics, the (well made / chosen) OST, the "pacing", etc...

I didn't notice any real bug. The only thing I found a bit "odd" (for lack of a better term, sorry) is the grid movements. It helps to set the pace of the adventure in a way, but it also surprised me, I'm not too sure about the necessity of this kind of movement there. ^^
The hint button is a well thought feature, especially given the time you had.


Anyway, well done! :)

Nice little game. The story might be a bit too cryptic and the puzzle too far-fetched lol. I also had trouble reading the menu and understanding that it was a map :sweat_smile: But good entry anyway :slight_smile:

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

If you’d like to rewatch the playthrough, you can find it here:

Hey Fables!

I wish I wasn't in such a rush when I played your game - though it did add that mild amount of peril trying to race through it in 5 minutes!

I liked the concept of switching between old and new, and how it was incorporated both into the story and the puzzles.

Neat game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/N721nAhkovk
