Super fun game—really enjoying it so far!
thank you!
Loved this!! Had a lotta fun, and nice graphics! Small 'bug' I found (spoilers):
If you click behind the chest of drawers in the right spot you can get the hint about using the right pin- even before you've moved the drawers to the side to reveal it! I discovered it by clicking at the base of the globe while stuck at one point, used the pin on 'each side' of the base of the globe (which did something, but didn't help me progress). Of course once I moved the drawers later on in the game I realised it was a hint to a puzzle I wasn't supposed to find yet, which explains why it wasn't doing anything to help! Just thought I'd mention it :p
Thanks for the report! I'll fix the bug
where did i go wrong?
what happens if you click a leaf and follow it?
it worked out, but there were less leaves in mine than the other pictures ive seen regarding this game. I thought maybe i did something wrong. No worries, it still works.
ah, the play through video is from an earlier version with more leaves but not touch friendly so I removed some
either way, you did a fantastic job! i thoroughly enjoyed playing ! keep up the great work :)
This update has fixed the problems I had. Thanks for the fun game!
yeepee!
Looks like if you filled the glas with water a second time, you get stuck on the butterfly.
you can get rid of the water in it by dumping it in the flowerpot
you can water the plant again to empty the cup :)
A little gameplay, some comparitive critique ;)
Wow! Thank soooo much for the video! It's extremely helpful for me to listen to your thought process. You made many good points on how to improve the game and I'll surely incorporate them in future releases. Bravo for an awesome review!
This was fun! I was actually able to get the balance code without the mushroom. I actually did it twice because my browser crashed during my first playthrough and I didn’t realize there wasn’t autosave ahha
interesting. I'll investigate. Thanks for the feedback!!
Going to get you a screenshot if I can do it a third time. Also, the statue is a bit finicky.
Got you a screenshot of the solution being shown before you have all the items on the scales. Hopefully I put enough blank space that it doesn’t spoil it for everybody :

hopefully this is good:
this is really helpful! thanks a lot!
This is fixed in the latest build. Thanks again for reporting!
No prob! Sorry to all the future players that will have to do it properly now 🤣
I got a lot of valuable feedbacks after the initial release and therefore updated the build with your inputs!
The new release includes these fixes:
Sometimes a build update can mess up the saved game state. Sorry if that happens to you. Hopefully the new release make the game more enjoyable!
Thanks everyone for playing and leaving feedbacks. It means a world to me!
Very interesting game, I like the general atmosphere and the riddles.
Glad to hear!
Great game, can't wait for more! Thanks!
Thank you!!! It means a lot!
play through video if you get stuck:
Can I get a hint on what to do next ;-;
Hint for the two puzzle pieces for the scale you're missing:
1. How do people usually capture bugs they don't want to touch? 2. For the last one, you'll need a helping hand. Literally.
Great hints!
You can check out this play through video as a last resort:
What a great game!
We are looking forward to this author's game. Thank you!
thank you for the kind words!
Nice lil escape room there. Fairly intuitive, some interface friction was the main issue. It buffers your next interaction, so the messages just hang for ages, I think if that were fixed it'd be nice and fluid. Clicking the puzzle piece from the plant was also kinda tricky once you'd watered it. Took me a moment to realise how to make the pills, trying not to give too many spoilers, but if the items dropped that might make it a bit more intuitive! Good stuff though :)
Thanks for the feedback? Do you mean the toast message stays on screen for too long?
All good suggestions!
game lags A LOT....
half the time was spent waiting for text to disappear. some illogical spots, overall good game
Thanks for the feedback! I'll make the toast messages moving faster, and perhaps dismiss on click.
yes, having the messages disappear on click would help a lot!
BTW the messages don't block inputs. You can continue playing unless if the object is right behind the message.
too many objects are exactly behind the messages. you can put all the messages at the bottom of the screen, like in most escape games
I've made the messages dismiss on click

Thanks for supporting indie game development!
