this game took me almost 2 hours to complete!!!!
super fun, well done dude!!
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
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
howd I finish wo doing the piano umbrella and kite ??
I'm stuck on how to get the last star/sub grabber any hints
Really great game! The puzzles are clever and creative and most of the time not too simple or hard. After I opened the Umbrella and come from the little piano it still looked closed to me. Some view changes did not feel intuitive. Why can't I go from Aquarium to the computer directly? I was stuck on the horse/giraffe part a long time because I didn't open it. Some hints would have been nice. And the sound goes quiet after a while, which is really sad because it adds so much to the atmosphere. Still a great game. 5/5 stars!!
Made an account JUST to say this: This is the most fun I've had playing any escape room game, including the in-person ones. The puzzles feel rewarding and the answers always feel just on the tip of my tongue. Props to everyone who worked on it!!!
i think its only like 1 dude called colorbomb
he has other puzzle games on here like lodge or clay-scape
if you're into this type of game i do know some other really good puzzle games here like "last seen online"
thank you!!!!!
Divide the top numbers by the bottom numbers. 5/1, 8/2, .35/.05, and 16/8
1 hour, 7 minutes, 15 seconds and 3055 clicks
this is one of the best point and click escape room games i've ever played
i already love your stuff but this is beyond compliment. you can really tell that you have a love for the genre
5 stars!!!

This game must have required significant effort and serious programming skills. Well done! I'm still behind in terms of art, but my coding skills are above average.
I made an account to comment here. This game was cozy and really well made. It took me forever and some puzzles are really hard. Thank you so much for this. Will play again.
This game needs awards fr
The graphics, the audio, the setting, the puzzles that aren't even easy in the slightest but make you feel like a friggin' genius when you solve 'em. Just *chef's kiss*
I ACCIDENTALLY RELOADED 💔💔
it hasn't been working for me, it worked a week ago but now its just constantly loading
10/10 super fun game could not stop playing it until I figured it out. I loved all of the elements.
this game is absolutely delightful! the puzzles were all very fun and clever, and difficult enough to be really engaging. sated the puzzlebeast in my soul. 10/10
i speedrun trace and got 3 min 34 sec. any faster times, opinions or tips?
woah dud
*dude
it took me like 12 tries after memorizing the puzzles and only doing tasks that i needed to do
Amazing game, I wish sounds wouldn't break...
HELP!!!
I really hope colorbomb will respond to this, but what do i do with the kite, the piano the star puzzle and the submarine arm?
if you haven't solved the star puzzle, you need to do that first. Make sure you have 8 stars (there is one on the grid to begin with).
The piano, the submarine arm, and the kite will be important later.
thank you, i used a guide and figured it out, but what do i do with the planet puzzle in the tower, and the magicmatics and the drawer under neath the fish tank.
i figured out the mathemagics part, but still need help with the others
PLS respond. i really don't won't to leave the game unfinished. :)
once you've played mathemagic, you have all the information you need to solve the cabinet under the fish tank. (hint- pay attention to what happens when you defeat the enemies!) from there, the planet puzzle will make more sense
i did it, but does something happen when you do it, and how do i get the swan piece, and if anything, am i missing something?
i need help in the second room i have done the blue maze, and thats about it. :(
this is the best puzzle game i've ever played omfg that was so fun :DDD
Very kewl! 59 min, 9 sec, and 2763 clicks
this was such a nice and cozy little game and the pyramid was such an awesome ending puzzle, I can now see why it's a lot of ppl's favorite. first time playing an escape game in a long while and I really liked the vibes, variety of puzzles and difficulty level!
took about an hour, 3000ish clicks. really cool puzzles and some of em really blew my mind! (ie, the pyramid one) a few of them took some trial and error but I feel like it all flowed together really well
I still don't understand the stars. I must say, this one looks better than the definitive edition. SUper cozy. Wonderful work.
muito bom o jogo, eu fiquei preso nas parte dos corações acho que por já esta cansado e com sono, então acabei pegando algumas dicas dos comentários, mas como um admirador de jogos puzzle recomendo muito, espero q continuem fazendo mais.
The game was a lot of fun, I loved how interconnected the puzzles felt. My first time playing an escape room game after a very long time, and I enjoyed it even more than expected.
That said, I did run into some issues with inputting a couple of the solutions:
I played this amzing game with my siter and, wow !! It was really cool to play, almost too hard but when we finally succeed we felt like we really deserved it !! Thank youuu !!
Extremely important question, is there somewhere I can actually read Adventures of a Wayward Cosmonaut? The snippets I could make out were very cute, and I'd love to read more.
Another amazing release from Colorbomb. The puzzles were sometimes confusing, but I never had to use a walkthrough for this. Overall, the game's incredible, and I can't wait for the definitive edition release.

out of all the things that have never happened, this has never happened the most
it's not that hard. if you already know the answer you can skip most of the game. you solve the pyramid puzzle and red button in the second room and you go back to the trapdoor
i wish i could download this
Wonderful. I’ll do my best to gush about specific puzzles in a spoiler-free way: I loved the sigils, the pyramid, and the pentagram in particular. I see this is a Unity game; looks like everything is pre-rendered with some 3D elements superimposed (e.g. the kite?) Curious about the nuts & bolts.
yes, everything is pre-rendered!
There are no 3D elements super imposed, except there are lines drawn on the screen (the kite's string, the planetarium destination arrows, etc.)
I don't get the pyramids vro ToT
I just realised the person on the bridge in the ending screen is the person in the space exploration book, and I think that's pretty neat. That also kind of implies that either the person we play as is the person in the book, or the person in the book lives here and we just happened to get stuck there. Also, I'm pretty sure the planet we are on is the planet/moon/space thing that is revolving around the purple planet. I really like this game, and I think I could have done better if I wasn't sleep deprived. awesome puzzles/10 👍
