Thank you for giving me another data point! I tend to agree, I'm a fan of puzzle games and I felt the urge to make them a bit more difficult. But as you say, this game turned out to focus more on the \"story\" and characters, so I wanted to find a good balance. I also didn't want to make the game too long (for once :laughing: ). Oh, and thanks for the nice comment about the art style, I'm happy with the comparison to children's books, that's kind of the vibe I was going for.\n\n@hitchh1k3r Thank you! I agree with you on the music. I'm fairly new to making music and I pushed it until far too late this jam. I'm glad it wasn't too distracting at least! I wanted the different rooms to feature different parts of the song, but I think I got to involved with the techinical aspect of making that, instead of actually making something that sounded good :sweat_smile:. It was a good learning experience though, and I'll give it another shot next jam!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":974805,"author_name":"bartalomew","author_uid":"bartalomew","epoch":1683561208,"text":"nice puzzle game. the art is beatiful.. the puzzles were a bit overwhelming as the game doesn't explain much and it takes an effort from the player to do them, but that makes them rewarding. still, a tutorial would make this game much more approachable I feel. great job nonetheless!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":975207,"author_name":"Meta-link","author_uid":"meta-link","epoch":1683579576,"text":"Really cool game.

I somehow moved the third owl to the left, and for some reason texture flipped (it was to the left below the rabbit, away from the mirrors), which is why the rabbit said that the character looks mirrored. Maybe it's something with other two interacting with mirror.\n\nI really like the whole game, congrats with that nice entry!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":975946,"author_name":"LDJam user 362790","author_uid":"362790","epoch":1683637768,"text":"I enjoyed playing this game.

I did it once before (with a teammate dedicated to making music). I'm not sure what technology you developed or used, but for me one if the big issues was keeping multiple music streams synchronized, even a small drift can cause nasty dissonance over time.
