A very polished and well designed puzzle game! The idea of the foglings and restoring color didn't really come to play much I think, as things kept looking the same (at least to my eyes), but the gameplay itself was nice.

Really nice puzzle mechanics. Difficulty ramps up pretty quickly but it is really satisfying when I finally crack it.

Thank you 😁

This is truly a high-quality puzzle game! The mechanics are very good and well thought out. It took me quite a while to do the final level, and I am looking for more, but that's probably too much to ask for in a jam. It's quite challenging too! The cute pixel art style helps set the vibe, and the music is very nice and charming! I like this very much!

The few criticisms I had for this game is that I would really want a quick retry button and possibly an undo button. I know the latter is quite a lot to ask for, but with a difficult puzzle game like this, making the players start from scratch every time they make a mistake is very punishing. I would also suggest making the stacked colours more noticeable as it's currently very hard to view which two colours are stacked together at a glance (I hope that's not intended though).

Other than that, this game is a very solid and well-designed puzzle game! I like it a lot. Well done!

Already rated your game! The game has a really cool concept and is extremely polished! I absolutely love the graphics—they bring back childhood memories of me sitting on the couch playing my Game Boy Color. The audio fits perfectly with the game, and the mechanics are simple yet quite addictive for puzzle lovers. Great job! You guys really nailed it. 👍

That last level was tough, but man it felt rewarding to win! Very well designed game! It felt a little awkward at first, but once it clicked, it was a bunch of fun! The game really could have used an undo button, but it works just fine as is. I do wish the dynamic music was more active, as you have to return all the little guys at once, meaning you're stuck with the basic loop until the level is already over. Other than that, amazing job!

Oooo, I love the cute, calm, and cozy vibes for this puzzler. Didn't understand what was going on when I started, so figuring out how to move the Foglings was a great "aha" momement. Only feedback I have is reset is a bit unforgiving, I'd almost wish I could switch between color and action mode versus full resetting (though if that was a feature, I did not notice).

Either way, y'all did a good job. Keep it up!

Lovely art, and awesome sound design. The little jingles were especially nice! I was kind of hoping/ waiting for a twist  given the jam theme, but still a great play.

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your review!

Well nothing went wrong i guess haha

As soon as I saw the game's cover, I knew I was going to love it visually, and not only did that prediction come true, but I was also pleasantly surprised to discover the beautiful sound design of the game. I also want to congratulate the level designer for creating such interesting and even challenging puzzles, although I must admit that I'm not smart enough to finish it and had to quit after several attempts xD. The only thing I would add is an undo button, because it gets a bit frustrating to have to start from the beginning after making a small mistake. As I said, congratulations to all the members of the team for a visually stunning game, with charming music (and a special mention for having a unique theme for each level), very well-thought-out puzzles, and exquisite programming.

thanks a bunch for the insightful feedback~ everyone will be super glad to hear!
i may have overthought the arrangement of level 3 and 4 xD if you ever give it another shot I'm supporting you in spirit~
thank you again for playing!
