This is an awesome game!

I couldn’t find one of the spheres!
At first, the deadly maze really annoyed me, but later, when I started getting through it in seconds, I realized that’s the whole point of reliving the same day,  you end up learning every detail inside out!

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed!

Really fun game! The orbs at the end reminded me of the impossible quiz lol. Really well made and polished (apart from the known inventory bug but that should be an easy fix post jam)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

Good birb noises.

This was a neat puzzle game that really captures the feeling of being in a time loop, doing things by rote and knowing exactly where to go by the end. I absolutely hated the floor puzzle level, and yet by the end I had basically memorized the path. Very Edge of Tomorrow/All You Need is Kill vibes. I was rather displeased to find that I needed to find the orbs at the end, especially given that there's no visual indication you've found an orb once you pick it up, which meant having to rely on the audio cue to tell me if I found it sometimes since it was very easy to immediately walk over it and pick it up without actually seeing it. 

But by my indomitable will, I broke the curse. Be free, little crow!

Thanks for checking it out, glad you managed to finish it dispite the bug. The orbs should be appearing in the inventory box on the top right, but it looks like that isn't working in the build I uploaded. I will have to fix once voting is over, thanks for letting me know!

This was pretty fun, I like the controls and art style. Got to the end after 5 minutes only to find I didn't collect any orbs... RIP. Great job!

Cool puzzle game, i was stuck in the  4th room but after a few runs i was able to figure it out
The crow is cute !

First of all I would die for this crow! The sounds where just too damn cute I love it! Since it is played so often you might vary the pitch ever so slightly each time it is played so it does not feel that repetetive.

The time constraint was a little bit much in my opinion. Especially the tile room took way to long. I feel like it might have been half it's size for it to be easy to remember after 2-3 gos and not eating up so much time.

I really really like the artwork and I'm a sucker for knowledge games! Oh and the music! When it ramps up as you near your end... it is very very good!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it.

cool game , cool sounds , cool art and good puzzle . but would be better if you use some randomness , and traps takeس so much time that there is no time left to continue.

Thanks for checking it out!
