Gorgeous game and very atmospheric music and fun to play. For me the a key did not work but than i noticed i could also move with clicking the mouse (which was not described). All by all very solid submision

The graphics and mechanics are pretty cool, though it'd be nice to know exactly what each button did so I could further analyze the puzzle and being able to zoom in and out might be a good addition so I can see everything, and sometimes the houses appear to have some glitchy textures. Overall though, fantastic game!

Also had some troubles with the a key, but managed it with the arrow keys. It took me some time to figure out the game logic. At first I was confused about the others and confused how they were moving :D Then I got the idea and enjoyed it. Well done! Especially the graphics.

I really like the idea of the game, it has powerful "ahh" moments, the puzzle design is really well done. I think it's really hard to understand how the djinlings work, it's not really clear, maybe if they had a trail or a shadow following them it would be easier to understand. I kinda feel lost in the levels, maybe a toggable birds eye view or minimap would help, as the level is confusing because of the perspective.

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far ! :)
We’ve fixed the « A » key not working on QWERTY keyboards and the game will be updated with this fix within the day

Stay put on itch.io for the dev logs with fixes and small post-jam improvements :)

Really nice submission! It looks great! It took me a time to understand the game mechanic and the a key didn't work. But I found out that you can use the mouse button to move. Great work!

Very nice and clever game! The game mechanic is top notch, the mood, visuals and sounds are polished. There are a few issues with the commands ('SPACE' sometimes resets, which can be annoying ^^), and the rewind could be a bit faster after a few uses but congrats to the team :) ! Great work!

Very well done. This was a fun and polished experience.

The movement mechanics were kind of annoying. I lost a lot of time trying to move diagonally and crashing into walls

@skleembof Thanks for your feedback :)

And yeah in fact, implementing keyboard controls was a real challenge with this almost isometric view... We are still figuring this out haha. Stay tuned for updates !

The game is better played with a controller or with the mouse, but I hope that we'll nail this soon enough ! ;)

Oh, this had a little bit of Journey feel to it! Otherwise, it's a really nice idea with the clones, great execution and graphics!
