Hi! There's no link for the game or source code :(

@mikoziq : Yes, sorry for that. I had a little issue, now it should work.

@mikoziq, perfect timing just went on the page and was about to ask when you commented.

[SPOILER]
As for the game, it was very short but I loved the humor, the trippy mushroom or the victory for not taking the ring were nice touches. :smile: The blocky art style was nicely done too and fit very well.

In my opinion it just needs some music in the background to set the mood.

Great job though, I really liked what you have done in the 2 days! Well done!

I love the unique graphics you came with the game. The concept is cool. And it's really tiny unless you want to 'let it go...' . Great job on the entry!

Great entry. I love the visual style and animation. It's sweet, short and fun to play.

wow, It must have taken a lot of work to recreate all those scenes, it's great!

Love the voxel animations and storytelling style. Background music would definitely complete the experience. I had to see all the different story branches and enjoyed it all the way through!

The animations and visual art assets give the game a very nice casual feel. This coupled with the lighthearted choices and payoffs make this game a quick and fun playthrough.

Lovely voxel art and a nice little choose your adventure game.

This game is so pretty it hurts. Amazing!

Voxels! I can't understate how great and whimsical this looks, and even the little voxel box the story takes place in animates like it's caught in a loop. Also certainly the game that's best used the loop aspect as part of its humor.

This is a fun game, and it fits the theme well. I like minimal games like these.

I would ditch the word "Meh"; otherwise, the choices are intriguing. Nice work. This game has potential.

@gamebuilder : Thanks for your feedback. I want to polish the text before the jam ends and I agree with you on this one.

So great! The art is awesome - it's rare to see a voxel game in a game jam! I really enjoyed everything about this game and am astounded you managed to achieve this in 48 hours! Mind blown :O

@madbookstudios Thanks! Yes it was pretty intense to model every frame and I did half of what I wanted to achieve but to be fair I took extra hours to record the piano and add the music after the end of the compo.

Love the cute diorama design of the different stages. Wasn't clear how to get back to the beginning after reaching the end -- a "back" arrow to reverse a previous decision and try something else would have been nice.

The simple piano hits on the different rooms were also a lovely touch!:)

Beautiful game, the music adds the extra suspense. Wish it was a tad longer but i guess game jams are like that :D

Hey I appreciate the effort put in to the visuals here, well done! great personality and each detail (even if there aren't a bunch) are well polished. I definitely held on a couple of the loops like the arrow hitting my face to giggle. Definitely would have liked more story but the abrupt ending also has its own charm. Nice work!

This little game was delightful! Cute graphics, cute story, just very cute all around. I liked it a lot!

This is a fun and well made little game. I like the story and the visuals. Overall a good jam game.

Great entry, but do you always die at the end?

That was such a cute game! Kinda sad that you *spoilers* die at the end but I had my fun nonetheless! Lovely graphics!

@Barrier @PhillSerrazina : Yes you have to die to stop the loop and find true happiness. It's a bit dark but nothing has to be taken seriously obviously. Thanks a lot for playing !

I didn't expect to die when I finally get my hands on this ring!! this is bad!!!
Nah, kidding, I liked the humor and you should do a longer adventure with more choices because its really fun to play. Reminds me of roleplay books with choices (nostalgia..)
Killer design ;)

I love how he happily hops on the grass xD My daughter was dancing to the happy music xD

I like graphics style and the permise Good entry!

Spoilers, ate a poisonous mushroom, fell into a river then ate a ring and died. Been a productive day! Super cute and the humor was great.

Loved the voxel art. A short but fun story. I enjoyed the humour a lot. Fab LD entry. Congrats :raised_hands:

Also... just saw it was a COMPO... so double congrats!

Cool style. Always like som Voxel graphics, and this was adorable. The arrow to the head made me chuckle. Was hoping it was longer... Great job!

Nice polished short game. Loved the art style

Wow, this was really charming. I'd love to see a long game like this with many outcomes! :)

Great art. And a very creative interpretation on the theme. Wish the quest was a bit longer.

I like the voxel art and animation. The game gives me a feeling it's rather polished.

**Good game! Well polished!**

@ms-annotation-x : Thanks for this feedback ! Yes it's a bug, I will fix it as soon as possible.

The art was amazing man!
I loved how you took the theme of the game like outside of the game breaking the foruth wall.
The messages you tried to convey are some that are really imporant.
GREAT work!

Cute looks, lovely music, really fun story and choices. Just awesome :thumbsup:

The music was just great - small concise pieces that very well captured the mood of each scene. These paired so well with the animated pictures floating in darkness, which felt like pages from a storybook. The music and the pages really worked together. The first time I encountered the scene on the rock in the river, I sat and just enjoyed it for a while.

I also liked the writing, with a little mix of poetic phrases and humor. I think my favorite was "Happiness by intermittence." The opening also told me to "have little empathy" and I enjoyed being left to wonder whether this was an intentional subversion of my expectations or a small oversight. I also liked that you left a little mystery. I have a guess at what the ring of happiness is, but I appreciate that it's up to me to decide.

From a tactile perspective, I liked how easy it was to rocket through the choices. In ordinary life we can only take one path and not explore the others, so I appreciated that it was easy to do so in a game such as this. I went to the book shelf to find the appropriate quote from The Unbearable Lightness of Being, but I think it's up in the attic in a box, 90% read.

Overall delivers so well as a total package. I don't know how to feel about the fact that the music was added after and thus the audio cannot be rated. I guess I wish you gave yourself that extra day and submitted to the jam instead, so that I could give you those stars.

I like this game a lot, great game.

Great game. I liked the artstyle and the music.

I usually don't find humor in these text adventure entries that funny, but your writing combined with the cute art kept me smiling the few minutes it took me to explore all the branches! :relieved: Good job!

Cool animation, funny little choose your own adventure

The story is great and a bit pensive. Tried some different branches and really love the idea of looped scenes for every event (shroom party time!).

Here is my playtest:

This is fantastic. I would love to play a longer more expanded story done in this style. Really really well done, I sometimes get so caught up in mechanics and features when making a game. This is a fantastic reminder that just telling a story in a well executed manner is work enough and you executed on it very well in all aspects.
