I was looking forward to playing through more of this, because it's not the kind of game I'd normally go after. When I first loaded it, I'll admit that I was a bit stunned by the graphics. It looks like papercraft or some other handmade materials. Really cool. I clicked on a bunch of items in the house and when I went to put on her makeup, it all said "unimplemented" or "not unlocked". I tried playing twice with the same results... I might be missing just a single step here, but alas. Anyway, congrats on the submission!

Really original graphics I love it. The mood was nice too! I got a bit confused by the interface by the time I had to pick up ingredients as it seemed I could only select only one ingredient and click done.
Cool little experience overall !

That was super cute. The art style was lovely and minimal with enough to convey plenty of emotion. The theme was really adorable, even such a small glimpse into their lives was immensely engrosing.

It was a little hard to navigate. It wasn't super clear when things were combining and there were some items below the screen I didn't see until I zoomed out. Also I couldn't find the cheeks.

The music was charming, the characters were adorable. Just a really great little experience.

Lovely game! The art and music worked great, and the concept was refreshingly original. +1 to others above who suggested some menu navigation improvements - it took a bit of hunting for me to figure it out. I'd also liked to have seen the characters wear/model the items I created, esp. the cabbage ornament :) :) :) But great work overall!

The game looked like this both times I tried it... (It was centered I just cut the screenshot)
No buttons worked.

This game looks so nice and the story is sweet. Love the graphics and music but I couldn't play it. I click on the items I find, go back to the face but everything is 'not unlocked' as pointed out by others. Hope you'll fix this or explain what we are missing!

The art style in this game is very nice! Very moody game. It took me three tries to understand what to do. You have to click the stuff you found to mix color things. And I don't really know how to get more. So it was just purple lipstick and purple foundation to me. Anyways there's a nice foundation for a different style mix,match,makeup game and the description of the game was funny :D wine and chees as makeup. Why not?

Very lovely, the art style is amazing, would love to see this kind of collage art style in more games. Very unique concept, bringing make up and dress up to a story game, I liked that.
I hit some bugs, I'm not sure, I couldn't use any ornaments =(
I also had to play more than once to understand that I had to mix the things to make new things, and I ended up just mixing everything with everything, so I wish I had some better way of telling.
Lovely game anyways, very away from the norm, and would really like to see this pushed further =)

First of all I want to say that I am only here because I identified you as a fellow frog and Toad lover in the comment section of Froog :frog:

Your game is a really cozy experience. I like the warm music and the sweet characters. The art direction is something extraordinary and it saddens me that a lot of people seem to have missed how to play your game and therefore missed all the cute graphics. You should definitely add a note somewhere! To everone else: **to combine items you have to click on them in the item collection screen!** The interface could use some improvement. But the core experience is really nice :)
