I enjoyed the uniqueness of each of the puzzles. Also I somehow didn't expect to be able to bring items into the other rooms, had quite the AHA-moment :-)
I really enjoyed the theme of every room and the puzzles that went along with them, great job!
Yeah, the only problem I had was that I tossed things behind myself. I really liked the graphics though!
Love the artwork! Couldn't help but make a mess of the place, sorry :(
Nice work on the graphics and well adjusted "escape the room/puzzle" for the theme. Congrats!
Really really nice! Solving the puzzles was really enjoyable :)
Should add a loading bar, nicely designed logo made me think it was part of the site.
Unfortunately I couldn't beat the last room with the star, lamp, tv, etc. Still pretty good though!
I'd love to know where the idea for this came from! Particularly making the antagonist a giant space hopper.
Thanks for all the kind words guys!
Hint: Final level requires you to craft one of each of the items that starts on the back wall. Its a circular conversion sequence, and everything you need to complete the room is already in the room.
The final boss was very last minute, I needed something big and slightly disturbing based on the same art style as the main character, so I lopped his head off, enlarged it, and glued legs to his head. And then made him float.
If I remade this game, I think I'd make puzzle bosses a core feature of the game; "They're big, and scary, they're in the room where you can see them, and you can't get past them until you've solved the challenge."
Nice. Took me a while to figure out the room with the plants, but otherwise things went smoothly.
Nice graphics, I can't solve the puzzle by myself but I enjoyed the tamborine man.
I kept getting told to go back, even though the room was complete - but I think I won in the end - though not entirely sure haha. Liked the style of the game, though it took some trial and error to figure out what to do. :D
Very pleasant, I think it's the game among those I've seen which is respecting the most the theme. Good Job !

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Its weird that I toss things behind myself. Overall the game looks and feels good.
