Dude I need a new game by you ASAP, I can't keep replaying the same games over and over again, I ALREADY KNOW THE PUZZLES LMAOO

Nah, jokes aside, you're an awesome creator and I really enjoy your games, I even bought Trace on steam

get ready...

Am I the luckiest player ever? Should I follow a career as a psychic? Who knows...

I am kinda heartbroken that I have to stop with the MatheMagic puzzle. It being timed especially really makes me struggle. Didn't need any help at all until I got there, love these types of puzzles, finally had to look up a walkthrough just to find that it's randomized and a walkthrough can't help me... I would be here a million years trying to make my brain do something it refuses to do because of processing issues. Math, timed, AND memorization. Everything else up to that point was gold. Highly recommend at least making it static so we can use a walkthrough if necessary. Still a great game; I just can't finish it.

luckily, you dont need to complete it! the point of mathemagic is just to teach you what the symbols mean!

sorry mathemagic was difficult for you though- its understandable to be frustrated with reaction-time based challenges in a game entirely devoid of them up until that point

I LOVE point and click escape games and this is one of the best ones i have ever played ! the perfect level of challenge and so detailed. the art style is especially neat such a cool world design.

(+1)

hey this was really charming, thank you! your love and hard work shines through. i was able to pick it up and finish it well over a month after first starting, because the visual communication is so strong. beat it in 2 hours, 4 minutes, and 4329 clicks :]

Amazing game! Those moments where after moving/clicking around, wondering what I could try next, and then noticing something and going "Ahh what if I try this/oh so that's what this is!" made me so happy.

For a while I thought the color grid puzzle and the pyramid were somehow related to each other and had some connection with Pythagorean triplets, then I thought 'Nah, it probably doesn't involve that much math' 😅 (and the numbers anyway did not follow the pattern)

I had been having a bad time before I stumbled upon this game and decided to play it on a whim, it improved my mood a lot.
 
Thank you so much for making this!

(+2)

damn this colorbomb guy is pretty good at making puzzles

(+2)

really liked it but to me it felt non-linear bc i had to go back and fourth around places so i was a bit lost. overall tho, great point and clicker.

(1 edit)

can someone push me in the right direction for the first pentagon puzzle? after I got the rag I have made no progress for over twenty minutes.

First time I finish an escape game without any help and it was awesome !!

(+1)

had a lot of fun with this one :) def had to use a walkthrough for some parts haha! 

(+9)

I know this is kind of a silly question but how do i make the game fullscreen the usual combinations didn't work

(+2)

why can we turn around??? 😨

(+1)

the puzzle is glitching out i try to grab a pice and it goes of the screen

(2 edits) (+2)

Same just happened to me, and the game doesn't have a fullscreen option to avoid it :/

Idk what to do to fix the puzzle, pls help

Edit: Ok, I just ended restarting the game from zero, and now that I finished the game I see that it wasn't necessary, I just lost 2 pieces, and thought it was more or that it was necessary to fully complete.

(+4)

This was such a fun game!! :D So many types of puzzles, so many Ive never seen before in a point and click. It may be one of the best Ive ever played ^^


The photo mechanic is actually so good too....

(+1)

thank you!

is this a horror game?

(+1)

nope!

YAY 2 hours and 1 minute with 3578 clicks... SUPER FUN THO:)))

(+2)

Well done, i really enjoyed the game. i  finished it on a couple of days and i kept coming back to it with the same level of excitement.
The only comment i have is some of the puzzles i thought it will unlock something very big and it ends up to be the screwdriver e.g.  i had to collect different objects and two to three puzzles just to have the screw driver come from the ceiling. it would make more sense if it was in a drawer. 

anyway, i cant wait to play more of your games keep it up 


That was really fun, but I didn't get to solve a bunch of puzzles. Didn't get the 2nd password, didn't find the last piece of the jigsaw puzzle, didn't figure out the points puzzle. Didn't know what the eye symbols or the figs were for.

The numbers thing got me stuck because I was wrong on MATH. Must've been 500 clicks on that.

(+2)

liked this game very much!!! <33

(1 edit) (+1)

was i supposed to get something out of the figure puzzle, i kinda messed up the order of things because ive played this a billion times (excellent game by the way actually peak) and doing the figure puzzle just let me out of the room it didnt give me anything and i swear it was supposed to

edit: nvm i did it wrong, still its an awesome game

1h16min56sec, 4024 clicks!

It's been a long time since an online point and click puzzle has twisted my brain like this. Good work :)

(+4)

how do i play fullscreen?

(+2)

How do you fullscreen?!

(+3)

can someone show me how to do this puzzle? I'm not too sure how to do it

(+2)

Find the two batteries, and put them on the lamp on the table. The lamp will show you the meaning of the red heart on the ceiling.

(+9)(-1)

Anyone on a laptop/PC know how to put this in full screen? It's driving me crazy that I can't see the whole screen at once.

80% zoom

Is it normal to get two times the broken metallic plate with symbols?

(1 edit) (+4)

Ok, I'm reading the walkthough and I can't even understand the logic behind some things... Like the pyramid...


EDIT: That walkthough was really bad, they skipped more than half of the game lol.

Quite difficult but not impossible. Got some help with the math symbols because one of them is not learned in the game and I didn't deduce it right away. 

(1 edit)

By 'one of them is not learned in the game' you mean the spiral? It's revealed in an indirect way, when the magician casts a spell with the correct solution then a spiral shows up on the little monster creature (because the number is equal to the one on the monster)

(+1)

Omg, it was nicely "hidden". Never paid attention to it 😛

(+3)

how do I put this in Fullscreen-

can someone help me? idk what to do here

(+8)(-3)

divide!

more context pls

(+1)

there are 4 other numbers hidden around the room, theyre meant to be put on top of these numbers, making 4 division problems

Minor hint:

There are FIVE clues like this hidden around the room. If you've found fewer than five clues, you're not ready to solve this puzzle yet. Keep searching.

Minor hint:

In one of the clues, the numbers are written below the line segments. This is significant.

(+3)

Yaaay 1h 54min :]
This was really fun! There wasn't a single puzzle where i thought "oh, come on? THATS the solution". All of them were really creative and I also really like how the rooms/puzzles build upon each other in very unique ways. Because oftentimes these games feel really linear but in this one everything felt very interconnected. I did get caught up looking for clues in the perspectives book for a while but besides that the current objective was usually very clear because of clever puzzle design. Great game!

24 minute speedrun no notes gg

hi!! I really really love this game, and I love coming back to it every once in a while. However, I notice that this time I can't play in fullscreen? Which is  odd cuz I'm able to play other colorbomb games in fullscreen but i somehow can't see the function for trace :(

(+1)

I'm so sad the second password on the computer doesn't  work for some reason ;-;

(+1)

Yes it does

It doesn't work for me as I am on a laptop with an azerty keyboard

Which of these 4 did you type for the straight line?

¦ (broken pipe)
| (pipe)
l (lower case "L")
I (upper case "i")

(1 edit) (+2)

You type | (pipe)

(+2)(-2)

THE PUZZLE MISSING ONE PIECE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

(+3)

You have to find it elsewhere in the world and bring it back.

(+3)

This game is really cool, I love the design! It's not too hard once you get the hang of it and most puzzles make logical sense/ don't rely on arbitrary things like some puzzle games I've played in the past have. Didn't have to look up a guide but still had to use my brain, which is good. Love to see more of this and I'm gonna check out the definitive edition.

this game took me almost 2 hours to complete!!!!

super fun, well done dude!!

(+7)

Few games have filled me with such a sense of smug satisfaction upon completing them. Very good. Very Mysty. Love the fireworks at the end.

I can't for the life of me figure out the jackolantern one after it lights up. I tried so many different ways on the star lock thing

(+1)

The colored balls in there point toward other balls. They are hard to see. If you didn't figure it out yet, G->R->LB->P->DB->G
