DESCRIPTION:

This is a very rushed RPG Maker MZ game jam project as I (Paul) was busy running this game jam's conference at the University of Michigan. 
I made this in about 2 hours.

Emily made a really cool forest song and song variations for this brief game.

It is a very difficult puzzle challenge, if you eventually give up then you can download the "Game Solution" file on this page.

Please enjoy!

-Paul


CONTROLS:

  • Arrow Keys | Movement
  • WASD | Movement
  • Point and Click | Movement

(NOTE: There are 3 different ways to move. As a recommendation you might have more fun by enabling the "Always Dash" feature, which allows for Arrow Keys/WASD movement to be just as fast as the Point and Click method; to do this before the game starts click "Options", and then click "Always Dash" so it says "On". After this then start the game!)


CREDITS:

  • Game Design | Paul Young
  • Music | Emily Sulkey
  • RPG Maker MZ Default Assets were used for this game, as it was very rapidly made in the RPG Maker MZ Game Engine.
