Very cool idea! And the art is very nice. Love the Windows XP look!

Playing as a folder that collects files — that’s such a clever idea! I really loved the concept. However, I was a bit confused when trying to interact with the sound panel after turning it off. Still, the whole experience was really creative overall!

I really like the idea of the folder that collects files to use them in the world. The graphics are nice too. I just had a problem with the jump button which haven't worked every time (I think it was when I was on the bridge I created with the sound). It was fun anyway. Good job!

The idea is great, and the visuals definitely evoke emotions in "older" players)) The only thing is that it's not always intuitive what to do, and the jump button doesn't always work. But overall, I think the game will be interesting if it gets some polish!💜 ⭐ 💜

@iriska YES! We consistently encountered these issues during testing, but unfortunately, they couldn't be fixed due to time constraints. Thank you for your support! Wish there would be no problem with jumping in our next game haha

It's a pretty interesting concept! I was also about to make a game where you collect sound but changed it at the last minute haha :smile: Super nice to see someone made that game into reality :smile:

A very creative idea. I liked the mechanics of collecting sounds and then using them. The style is also great and fits well here. Some of the sounds were a bit too loud, though.

Fun idea! I got bugged out such that I couldn't close the sound folder, but I love this otherwise!

This is so cool ! Fun game, but a little buggy on the jumps. I got stuck a bunch, either mid-air or it the decors.

Interesting idea to shove the game into a windows window. Had some issues with the bridge colliders blocking entry, exit and jumping but didn't block any progress. Didn't even notice there was a third sound to be collected at the end and couldn't collect the key (looked it up on the video above after the fact). Surprisingly the second game where you collect sounds. Overall a simple jam game with no major issues, well done.

Cool game, enjoyed it. Could have done more with the fire that was collected. Also got stuck sometimes when going up the slope, so needed to jump beforehand, wouldn't have needed the jump otherwise :)

The little folder is really the crown jewel of this game, so adorable. The sound design, of course, really shines out. I enjoyed it so much it made me wish there were more puzzles! Oh, and I was able to jump all the way to above the game zone by walking left and standing on the invisible wall as I continued to jump upward. Overall I loved it.

I see aliens still run Windows XP. Very good take on the theme, wish it was longer though.
