@maychant I made fix for snapping due to I have few hours before deadline. Thank you for report!
@pashaloban спасибо, что сообщил. Проблема исправлена, русский язык работает во всех версиях.
@euphelys yep, you understand everything as we designed :) btw, did you know what happen if you click on the final picture? ;)
Really cool!
I got invested in the story, I was surprised they lasted as long as they did. Fits the theme so well. The finale of pulled it all off to get back to beginning is very satisfying.
Good job!
Не мог долго сообразить что делать в самом начале )
Loved the animations
Так держать. Молодцы)
The ending is great and perfectly sums up the whole experience, well done and thank you for your game!
Amazing!
Telling a visual novel through a puzzle like that is genius.
Nicely done! Top marks. Love how the shape of the puzzle pieces morph to fit the mood. Nice reveal at the end to tie the experience together
This is one of the most beautiful stories which I read or played. The main gameplay is simple, but really well done. All works well as expected - and according to my gaming experience, it's more than a simple puzzle. The young people are endearing, but I would like to see more happiness at the end. Thank you for this entry. One of my favorites ++
At first glance, it is just a puzzle, but there is much more to it. I like the fact that the shapes and sharpness of the pieces reflect the mood of the picture. Every time a new puzzle dropped I had a quick look at what they present and I was like "oh no, they are going to fight". I thought it would be great if a player had more decisions on how the story goes, by introducing puzzle pieces with a different drawing on them that changes the story, but I realize that would increase the production time tenfold with all the branches in the narrative.
The theme is not in your face, but it is there. The instability of their relationship is delivered in their small remarks and behaviour. I like that.
Overall great job, one of the best games I played in LD49
Но вообще тебе сюда https://twitter.com/YarKravtsov/status/1445691478324518917
Overall an amazing submission, well done!
I really enjoyed it, well done.
The graphics are beautiful, and help to tell the whole story.
Sound is nice too. Helps keep the mood.
And the most important is the gameplay. It's not a simple puzzle, it's a narrative head I would say. You ride and wonder what's next for the couple.
I was a little sad because they apparently split up at the very end. I don't like sad endings hahahaha.
But it was an excellent game, an excellent interpretation of the theme. Congratulations.
