The click triggering move or action depending on the distance you have between you and the object is a little bit confusing. Also some combinations feels pretty random (Snake or light for instance). Otherwise, I find the idea and the overall ambiance pretty cool.

I love the mood and the soundtrack. Reminds me some retro games I loved in the childhood :)

A nice little puzzler - well presented and rather fun.

I couldn't solve it myself, but my future self came back and told me how to do it as it remembered me coming back in time to tell myself.

There's nothing like a causal loop to start the day.

Very nice game, controllers are a bit difficult to use but nice anyway, I've got a time machine!!! :D

Nice little puzzle! I had to watch the youtube video to get the mecanics at first but it was very clever. Loved the art and the music as well. Good job

Nice adventure game, albeit a bit difficult. The mood is awesome, thanks to the beautiful graphics (love these old Macintosh game feel) and the music is very powerful! (I didn't know about Abundant Music before this jam, but it's clearly good to create musics! :))

I really like adventure games... thanks for this one. I enjoyed how you put the entire game on a single screen to fit with the theme. Some of the item combinations were a bit confusing, but that's to be expected in this type of game. I did get stuck on assembling the machine for a moment, but not so long as to actually impact my enjoyment of the game. Good job on this game. You did a good job with the graphics.

Hi there. Visited/examined everything, got the axe and filled well... Somewhat stuck, will revisit have bookmarked. Love the music, really nice. Like the grainy graphics too. Good job!

Nice atmosphere! Love the "old screen" touch. The animations and the visuals are fantastic!

Very nice to see a adventure game in Ludum Dare, in the way of those old Lucas Arts games but also with the fine (and certainly time-efficient on your part) black & white art of games like Shadowgate.

I specially enjoyed the gameplay in that it is all very logical and makes sense, unlike the fridge logic we often see in those.

The story of the game is also interesting and the opening sets well the atmosphere. The music sits nicely with the game albeit a little generic.

Definitely gave you some good ratings.

Interesting game! I Included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/YpdCMKphEUw

I like this entry a lot, but would have liked it better if it were more plausible to deduce all the solutions. In my play though, about half the solutions made sense, and the other half were me randomly trying things.

Lovely atmosphere. I liked the point and click interface... it felt very natural.

Nice game. he graphics and audio are solid & the puzzle aspect is pretty cool for a jam game. Something about it reminds me of Shadowgate, but I'm not sure what.
