As it stands, it had me wondering just how innovative this really was! For a moment I even questioned whether it was actually made for the jam or whether this was just some random game that you were using the jam to advertise.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The game might actually be better appreciated without the fiction surrounding it - at least during voting season!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway, the game itself is super-peaceful, well made and excellently presented.

With a clear mind I started unfurling.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>It's a really fun little game with a unique concept. It can be quite difficult at times, but if you take a moment and listen to the zen music playing in the background, you'll find that the answer wil come to you eventually.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>That brings me to the audio, it's lovely.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had enough of the game after a few levels though, this is one of those games of which you would want 1 puzzle each day.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics fit the theme well, although I would say a bit too much of texture overlays was used.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall, great job you guys! :D"},{"author_name":"MRvanderPants","author_uid":"20836","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 12:23pm","epoch":1367324280,"text":"Nice puzzle game.

And nice potato =)\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I was also going to give you slightly fewer points for innovation because it's based on an existing game. Since it's not though, I'll give you all five, but you may want to edit your description to reflect it's completely created by you all (perhaps add a bit of magic\/fantasy to the description to indicate it's not inspired by this world)."},{"author_name":"juaxix","author_uid":"10960","time":"Apr 30, 2013 @ 8:34pm","epoch":1367353740,"text":"Sorry, I didnt understand the game instructions at all, would you like to make a video so I can learn how to play?"},{"author_name":"MRvanderPants","author_uid":"20836","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 1:13pm","epoch":1367413680,"text":"Clever puzzle game, very original."},{"author_name":"DaveDobson","author_uid":"10977","time":"May 2, 2013 @ 1:35pm","epoch":1367501400,"text":"An engaging puzzle; it took me a long time to figure out the unfurling motion at first, and it wasn't immediately obvious from the instructions.

I seriously hope you don't lose too many Innovation points due to people being convinced by the description that this game already existed before. Making a brand-new puzzle game that is both clever and fun is far from easy, and what I love more about your game is that it could, in theory, be played in real life with actual scrolls. Awesome job!"},{"author_name":"Sestren","author_uid":"10343","time":"May 5, 2013 @ 3:19pm","epoch":1367766840,"text":"If I were to add one piece of constructive criticism, however, I do think the game is way too easy in the later levels. Once you have an intuitive sense for how the scrolls work, it's clear that the later levels give you far more scrolls than you actually need, and solving certain levels is almost trivial. This is a minor complaint, of course, but if you were to decide to expand on this game or get it ready for release somewhere, I would recommend tweaking the challenge of many of the later levels."},{"author_name":"3.14","author_uid":"22238","time":"May 5, 2013 @ 3:35pm","epoch":1367767800,"text":"It's a deep and good game."},{"author_name":"JustinMullin","author_uid":"3128","time":"May 7, 2013 @ 2:28am","epoch":1367893380,"text":"This is a beautiful game, and a very clever puzzle.

I wish you could put a reminder of what's on the scrolls when you select them, it would imply less random unfurling (and more &quot;zen&quot; as too much scroll sound can be annoying).

The ambient windchime-like music and the sound of paper unrolling is really relaxing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I agree with others that once you've figured the scrolls out, it can be easy to brute-force the later levels without really using the pre-printed symbols. I played until level 32 when the game froze. No long repsonded to input, but the music kept playing.
