Hey guys! I scraped the ratings and calculated the average score (as I felt dissatisfied without it), and you ranked #176 - I hope you don't mind me sharing :) I think it is a great result and I congratulate you on it!
Ahah! Thank you very much for doing that calculation, which must have taken you a while ^^ And thank you for sharing :) 176th is very good indeed!
And you, what's your ranking, if you don't mind me asking?
We are 223! :) Very happy with that as well :)
Your game is still #1 for me in this jam, so I'm pretty proud that we are not that far behind :-D
Waw, bravo for this great result!
And thanks again :)
5/5 on all categories, very well done!!!!!
Thank you so much ♥
Great!!!!

I played this before but forgot to leave a comment, it is well made and i love the vibe that the artstyle gives it, i found the platforming a bit difficult but maybe it's just my skill issue! haha :D
Thank you very much for coming back to comment :) It's much appreciated^^
And I'm delighted that you enjoyed the game. As for the platform, it's not a question of your skill, don't worry. The platform is indeed a little complicated and I've already fixed that for the post-jam version.
Ooo that's awesome!! Keep up the great work! :D
I think this is exactly what I was looking for in a groundhog day-esque game. It's so cool having to observe patterns and find the right sequence of steps to solve the puzzle! Though, I will say some of the platforming bits are very difficult.
If possible, please consider rating my game too.
Thank you very much :D
Yes, it's like Groundhog Day. Observing the details to use them to your advantage (well, without the endless winter, phew!).
As for the difficulty of the platform, I am aware of this and we will update the game after the jam to make this aspect of the game easier.
Thank you for playing and commenting ♥
Wow! I'm so amazed by the world-building!
The characters are so well done, amazing art, cool animation and each person has so much personality.
You really brought this world to life!
I'm super impressed!
Well done! :D
Thank you very much :D
Since we had all the ideas for this time loop from day one, we actually spent almost all of the game jam drawing, animating, and creating sounds ^^ So we brought this little world to life! And it was really enjoyable. We thought we'd love to live in this little village :)
I'm glad you liked the game.
I went to check out your game. Unfortunately, as I'm not an English speaker (I use an online translator), there's a bit too much text for me to be able to play it. But I can definitely say that the atmosphere is incredible and that you've done an excellent job.
Oh that so cool!!!
Thank you for trying my game! I totally get it, no worries! :D
Thanks for the compliments! I wish I had added language-settings to the game! :P
Oh, don't worry! I understand that adding language settings to a game made in just a few days and with so much text is no easy task!
Genuinely one of the best games I played of this jam! The artstyle so simple yet so beautiful and harmonize very well. The puzzles are intriguing (I had to look at the hints lol!), animations are good, everything just feels right, complete and polished. Great job! I would love to hear your thoughts on my submission too! :)
Thank you very much for your comment, which means a lot to me :) After the jam, we will tweak the game a little so that it is less necessary to look at the clues, because at the moment it is still a little too difficult ^^
very trippy loop restart animation. i really like your palette and design
Thank you very much^^
It's true that the animation of the loop stands out from the rest in terms of aesthetics :)
The game and art is jsut amazing, took me few tries to understand the loop and figure out what needs to be done. Nice puzzle village with a very cozy feel!
Thank you very much for your comment ^^
I'm glad you enjoyed the game, especially since it's similar to yours in principle ♥
Merci pour ce jeu ! J'aurais bien galéré pendant les 10 premières minutes, alors que je comprenais bien avec quoi intéragir, mais c'est satisfaisant de trouver la mechanique petit à petit. Mais c'est un bon équilibre entre compliqué et lisibilité :)
Merci pour ton commentaire :)
On tentera, après la jam, de rendre le jeu moins exigeant en dextérité (avec la feuille par exemple) et plus évident (comment se servir du bateau) afin de ne pas trop frustré les joueurs quand ils on trouvé la solution théorique.
As soon as I discovered that holding onto the key doesn't carry over into the next loop I decided to just watch the video guide instead. I personally find a Looping game more enjoyable if I don't have to do the same steps every time.
However, the concept, art, and especially the music, are all excellent.

Yes, I understand (even if it wouldn't really be a time loop anymore ^^).
The idea here was to learn simple actions on a time loop that was short enough so that you wouldn't get tired of having to repeat certain actions. Then, ultimately, to have to chain these simple actions together in an optimised way to successfully solve the time loop in one minute. It would have been impossible and less coherent if we had saved the past actions from previous loops.
But I completely understand that repeating actions can be frustrating, and I'm glad you still enjoyed the concept, art and music :)

This is such a pretty and relaxing game, you can feel the life around you in the level, a lot of attention to details. I found getting to the ending actually quite challenging, but very rewarding! Extremely well made game, good job!
Thank you very much :)
We will probably rebalance the difficulty after the jam. But I'm glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and the details^^
Thank you for your comment!
This felt full of life it was amazing experience! One of my favorites now, also the colors and sounds are excellent
Thank you very much! We were surprised ourselves that we managed to create so much life. I'm glad you liked it^^
Lovely little puzzle game with clever use of the theme! Amazing!
Many thanks ♥
Really well polished, wasnt smart enough to get very far in the game but amazing work, just wish there was little more initial guidance starting off
Certainly, after the jam, we will make the game a little easier and provide quicker tips early on.
But I'm delighted that you enjoyed the game despite the difficulty :)
Thank you for your comment ^^
Lovely little game. Though in the end I did have to peek at the hints, I managed to solve most of the game - just ended up struggling with putting the boat down in the right place. Love the artstyle and the animation is very smooth. Great job!
Thank you very much for your comment :D
Yes, if I had had a few hours to step back before publishing the game, I would certainly have made it clearer where to place the boat. But I'm glad that the clues helped you enjoy the rest of the game :)
Sorry for yapping too much, but I have a lot to say! First of all - the game is incredible. The attention to the details is crazy, the art, the animations, and all the countless little things just blew my mind. I really enjoyed the color palette, it was really nice and clean!
I tried really hard but didn’t finish the game. I’ve spent about 30 minutes, half of which was mastering the leaf jump. For me the timings were really hard, everything had to be so precise that I messed up hundreds of times
I gave the 23/25 vote(I know it’s not common to comment the votes but imo it’s important to give the context here). Both points for me were lost in the enjoyment, because I found it really really hard to not ragequit after the 10th cycle failed by a tiny mistime. I’ll try to beat it again in a while, because I really want to see the ending!
The puzzles are designed incredibly well and just obvious enough to pick up the idea from a few observations!
I have no idea how you managed to make something like that in such a short period of time. The art, the music, the smoothness, even the moving flags - everything was really nice!
I think it’s my favorite game of the whole jam, huge well done!
Thank you very much for all the compliments ^^
It is indeed complicated to get onto the sheet, and I think I will correct it once the jam is over.
I have to say that there was so much left to do in the last few hours that I didn't have time to take a step back and realise that some parts of the game weren't obvious, even though we have the solution.
Thank you anyway for this huge rating, and sorry for the difficulties this sheet caused you ^^
Congrats! This game made it into my top 10 games from the GMTK Game Jam <3
