Perspective from game-tester and user-experience designer.
Everything about this game just worked for me. It was all intuitive and had some well-designed puzzles and progression, excellent submission! Definitely fit the theme of the game jam.
tons of fun, wonderful concept. Challenging, but not maddening. I'm looking forward to seeing more from you!
Super cute game, with a great use of different rebirth mechanics. It is also amazing to see someone have a game that is portable to an actual game boy! A unique gem. Well done to make this in 5 days!
Excellent game, very challenging. Clever use of the theme. Very nostalgic graphics, and very impressive that it can run on actual hardware.
The game mechanics are super fun and reminiscent of Beyond Two souls! The puzzles get trickier but they are sooooo satisfying to complete when you understand what needs to be done. The only thing I would propose is to make the Maze puzzle a little clearer (following the crumbs wasn't 100% the way to go but I also could have misunderstood)
all in all a really charming game I recommend anyone to try out ^^ Congrats on this, JaiWare! It's fantastic for a solodev :D
Had a great time playing! Had some challenging levels but made it to the end!
I love the game boy art style and enjoyed the puzzles in this game.
I love this kind of game it takes me back to snes goof troop immediately. The level design in this is so well done: it teaches you the mechanics by showing not telling. Great job I'll come back to finish it latter!
Really smart level design/tutorial-ing.
Love the GB aesthetic you went with.
Nice artstyle, super cute!
It would mean a lot if you could rate my game too! https://fernando-ferreira.itch.io/death
The fact that it's playable on Gameboy sells it already but there is a wild amount of content in this game for such a short gamejam. amazing work and great entry. Thanks for letting me play it on stream!
Hey, saw this on the stream the other day. Impressive work!
I said this earlier, but I can see this concept being utilized in a full game.
An a-maze-ing puzzle game that is actually capable of being played on a gameboy or DS! What a creative and cute game! We loved playing this on our stream for your birthday and mine, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for some fun mind-bogglers!
This game was both technically impressive, and very creative!
Happy Birthday!
Loved the gameboy aesthetic! the last leg before the final level got me a bit tho
Cool gameboy game, I like how the graphics and sound fit what you are trying to achieve.
Kudos on making a Gameboy game (GBstudio I assume). It was a neat idea and the puzzles were good.
You have been in my chat (as of writing this :P), so I am still impressed how this game has a lot of accessibility to other platforms, even the really old forgotten platforms. The game itself was really fun! Little cute puzzle game with fun dialogue and a well implemented theme! Good job!
