Ver.1.1.2 Update Notes
The obstacles along your journey have quietly faded away.
In this update, we fixed an issue where the main storyline key could not be obtained, and another where some players might become stuck in certain stages and unable to move forward.
旅途中的阻碍已被悄然移除。
在这一版本中，我们修复了主线流程中无法获取“通关钥匙”的问题，也修复了部分玩家在关键关卡中被困、无法继续前行的状况。

I feel like I should not beat the game without not collecting all the pieces but I am doing this anyway ;)
这个游戏的系统BUG比较多有点难玩下去，但是美术、音乐和gp弥补了这一点，整体的氛围还是蛮有沉浸感的!
The system of the game is a bit broken, but the art, music and gameplay make it a jam game not bad! The experimence is immersive.
游戏的系统还需要再打磨打磨，比如使用帮助菜单会卡死什么的，期待改进。
I mean, the system still needs some polishing. I got stuck in the help menu and didn’t know what to do. And good luck with the fix.
Welcome to play and rate our game!
I really enjoyed the puzzles that make use of the Recall ability — though it seems some of them can also be solved by taking detours or using other abilities. I’m not sure if that was intentional?
However, the UI and puzzle mechanics still seem to have a few bugs. For example, the help menu can’t be closed, keys can't open the final door (maybe I didn’t collect them all?), and the Recall ability can easily trap the player. I also encountered a bug that player can float mid-air, which I used to complete the game without opening the final door😂
Perhaps due to time constraints, there seem to be quite a few bugs, but the exceptional visual and interface design more than make up for it.
I believe with a little more time for refinement, it will become an outstanding game.
Looking forward to your improvements and even better work in the future!

感谢您的游玩！对于游戏内的诸多bug我们后续有在进行不断的测试和debug，目前的1.1.2版本应该已经解决了大部分问题，欢迎再来游玩！
We have taken notice of all the issues reported by players, and thanks to the hard work of our team member (especially our deliberate chief programmer @Yumo), we now post a 1.1.2 version that should have already solved most of the issues. For new players hesitating whether to play it or not, referring to the comment section, please make sure to download the 1.1.2 version instead of others. For those who have already experienced this tiny journey, feel free to try again！

Very chill atmosphere, nice graphics, and I liked the concepts. Good storytelling. If I were to suggest an improvement, it would be to make the UI a little more clear. Sometimes the text was hard to read, and it was hard to tell what was active.
最后是走到终点了，但拼图还差一块
不过打的过程死档了两次，一次是因为小bug，一次是全凭实力（扶额苦笑
稍微有点小bug，加方块的时候一会儿能放一会儿不能放的，但总体来说真的是超级棒的小游戏
