I had the ending with the tree cut down to make a bridge out of the island. The fact to let the player think about what his options are is great. However I suggest using full words for your hints ("RMB" => right mouse click) to be sure everyone gets the hint, rather than thinking about the r, m and b keys of the keyboards.
Good job !

Feels like a classic point and click game. I didn't quite understand how to get the different endings (got two of them but did the exact same things in the exact same order) but overall it's a nice puzzle game.

@wisch Bubbles sometimes appear in the water. If you will click on all of them, it will change the ending.

Interesting puzzle, nice art and good script with fascinating twists.

I regret that there is no audio.

Got ending 2 & 3/4 and the fishman blew my mind, wasnt expecting that.

You should put a screenshot on this page

@magalix Thanks. We wanted to write simple melody, but we hadn't enough time. To get the first ending you need to throw fish to cat and don't touch the bubbles in lake.

got ending 3 and 4, what the?... O_o why did the witch start to argue with the fishman creature? this was very funny, but I don't really understand all the cultural references... maybe?

Decent entry! I got ending 1/4. I didnt know how to use the bird until i saw the LD description, maybe if that tutorial was in the game it would be better

Really well done on this! A tutorial in-game would have been helpful, apart from that a really good entry with a nice story and art. The Ui was also very good. Overall not much to say bad about, apart from the audio, liked playing.

I got endings 1 and 3, the fishman was a surprise! No idea how to get the other endings, I managed to throw the stick at the bush to reveal the thread, but the bird refused to pick it up and I couldn't figure our how to get it. Nice little point and click!

@supersayafynn Try to combine bird and worm in inventory. Then you will get fed bird and with its help you will can to pick up clew.

I played this game with my wife. It was fun. Couldn't find ending 4, but will try again this evening.

I'm stuck. I saw in the comments you can feed the worm to bird, but I can't get it to work :(

So funny and really nice animations. Love the simplistic but crisp graphics. I got ending 1. Maybe add an indication where you can interact with something. I had some trouble moving the bird around in the beginning, just mindlessly clicking places on the screen hoping something would happen. But really nicely done! Good job.

Awesome animations, though I wish there was some sound. The game feels very empty without any sounds. I love the humor in the game. The dialog is quite funny.

Personally I think there could be more responsive feedback in the UI and clickables. The cursor difference between clickable stuff and background is small, and interacting inventory items together is instant. Things that happen instantaneously in games is jarring and confusing, so a bit of grace would have come a long way.

Anyway, great entry! Well done!

@kobato-games After grandpa leaves the hint will appear on the screen. You can combine items in inventory. Choose one item and then click with right mouse button on another (in inventory).

@eeperdeheap Thanks for feedback. Yes, we added cursor which change its sprite when you point on object to indicate where you can interact, but it is not very noticeably.

Good game with a nice artstyle! Only critism I have is the lack of music or sounds, but other then that, great job!

@charliew32 Yes, we agree that the game lacks music and sounds, we wanted to add them, but time was running out.

@papus-games Thanks. I forgot RMB can stand for Right Mouse Button.

Fun little puzzle game, but not everything is telegraphed that well. Stuff like having to combine the bird with the worm to interact with the yarn ball felt a bit random, but what did work worked really well!

Some of the objects in the game are a bit difficult to tell, but very creative puzzle games and fun solutions. I also like the art style! good job!

@xett Thank you! The cursor highlights objects that can be interacted with, but this may not be entirely noticeable.

I really enjoyed the game; it's quite simple but has its unique twist. The gameplay is quite original, in my opinion. Keep it up. I won't mention all the shortcomings and bugs in the game as they have been described above

Very interesting game! Especially having multiple endings, not that common for a jam. The only thing missing is sound, but I totally understand we don't have time for everything 🙂
