Really funny puzzle game. The idea is really good and has a lot of creativity and the music is awesome. I like the puzzles and the idea behind them. I think you should work on it and release it as a full game. It has a lot of potential is really polished. Good job guys

Well done! This is easily one of the smarter games I've seen this jam, and It's well polished graphically. The music was great too. Add more levels, mix the character voices in a little bit better, add some sfx/music controls and you can ship this out I'd say. Great job.

Cheers!

Great puzzler here! Loved the mechanics and the last proper level, had quite an amazing brain time solving it. Thank you!

I kind of wish I could see how many levels there are to complete, like 1 / 8, so I know if I'm close to winning (there are a LOT of games to playtest and limited time). However, hardly anyone does that. :P I did end up finishing the game, though the victory screen appears to be a level with no goal.

That said, this is a really excellent submission. It's a little hazy but sort of fits the theme with the robes tearing -- that was a clever mechanic. The music is well done, the visuals are great, the little touch of the downspout spraying water is nice, the voices are amusing, the controls are solid, and it looks like it might work on mobile.

Great work coming up with a unique puzzle game in a very saturated genre!

Neat puzzle game! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/a-epgKaAyrI
