I used this music set (and one of the fantasy ones) for my Snake game:

These tunes vibe so well with the retro feel I was aiming for with these games. Thanks so much!
Thanks so much for these tracks; I've used most of them in this game: https://captaind.itch.io/flow-problem :-)
Firstly, this is my review posted on the AGS Games page:
"This is one of the best short games made with AGS that I've ever played. Everything is at least good - the graphics and music are very nice, the humour often hits the mark, but the real joy is in the puzzles - they are absolutely excellent. I especially loved the hamster maze puzzle, that was really clever.
Thoroughly recommended - even more so if you liked Maniac Mansion / DotT".
Congratulations on a superb game that shows amazing development of your skills since Day of the Sandwich (which I also enjoyed).

Just a couple of little bugs - in the lab (right-most room) the walkable areas need trimming, as you can walk partway up the walls.
Also a couple of the hints don't trigger properly (or the issue may be the code that decides when to display the tick) - from memory I think "fill bucket with water" and "power on computer" were affected by this.
On a personal level, I found having to keep reselecting the inventory slightly annoying, but that maybe just me :-)

Just want to end this comment by saying a massive WELL DONE - you've created a really memorable game here.
This is a really lovely little game! Despite the minimalist design in many aspects, it really drew my into the world and felt like a little slice of a richly detailed game world. The few animations that there were really added to the game, and the music was superbly chosen. Not many puzzles, but still a bit of work for the old grey cells wrapped up in a genuinely intriguing narrative experience.. Would love to see more adventures by our failed but somehow successful apprentice mage!
I picked this game up when it was on a free and was amazed by the quality - didn't actually realise if was on a special promotion at the time, so I have now sent a donation which you thoroughly deserve. This is an excellent game and I've really enjoyed it, the difficulty is so well balanced - I almost always felt like I was making progress of some sort, very little grinding but some good puzzles and challenging areas.
I thought I was on the cusp of completing it but it appears I don't have the third crystal - I was sure I'd completed ever dungeon but apparently not. I don't suppose you could give me a clue as to which dungeon the third crystal is in as I can't seem to find it!
As a suggestion if you are planning an update and if it's feasible, is to make the crystal-containing dungeons you've already visited show on the main map with an icon to show if you've already got the crystal from that location. But anyway, it's a great game, very nicely done!
