(Since this game uses mouselock, you might experience the cursor sliding without moving your mouse)
(Either going fullscreen, downloading the exe, or using the anti-sliding setting should help fix this)
Ironically, you can use the arrowkeys and z/x instead of the mouse.
I had to cut a lot of ideas for the game jam, but I hope to explore this idea again in the future!

This is a fun lil' game with some neat concepts to encounter throughout! Some spoilers here of course.
Finding out you can draw anywhere yourself is not only handy for noting things as you go, but also just plain fun to mess around with. The password puzzles were quite clever as they all had some different kind of thing to figure out. My favorite being one of the earliest where the numbers spanned multiple rooms basically in plain sight but easy to not notice. Needing to use the options was also a stunner and reversing controls made the lava rooms more impactful than they initially seemed. You can physically rotate your mouse upside down of course, but where's the fun in that? :P I also liked that as you rescued other pointers they became your buddies to show you various things and do stuff. The point where you had multiple choices as to what to open was flawlessly well thought out as no matter the order you pick they will all come together. This adds a tad of replay value to boot.
this game is so fun i love the artsyle.
A tip for anyone who's in the inverted section of the lava puzzle, the hitbox is in the very tip of your cursor!!
so cutee
how on earth do i get past the lava looking level :'(
Wish there was more tips but still a fun game.
very fun!!! when I completed the game I scribbled in all the rooms, and figured out you can turn the small room with the music note into a black void!! very kewl!!! very awesome-sauce!!! I loved it very much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
