The Secret of Tearbottle

So THIS is how Belle felt when the Beast showed her his library!

Is there going to be a sequel?

Is it Tear as in crying tears? Or Tear like tear a paper? Why didn't the kid know the way to his granddad's house? Anyway, great game! Love the aesthetics of the whole thing. Great job!

Teeny bit slow to start, please add a fast forward button... Or enable remix!

Wow, there was so much stuff in there, it was amazing!

Very cool mate

Congratulations on making it into Mm's recent stream! This should give the game some well-deserved attention, hopefully!

Great work

3rd key cube level the big pedal like revolving brass dual platform thing, for example.
half teh time ol boy him jump on ting some mover push him off to left faster than run n jump can maintain.
other half teh time, ol boy sit right thar.
teh difficulty.

after quitting at carts, returning fresh got me past with a reasonable amount of tries. the galaxian spiral bit i think i astral projected and spent three hours with a giant budgerigar named zoltar, good job if you did that bit.

disagree with comments about lengthy sections, pleasant distraction. games are sufficiently challenging to test sense of immediate gratification. star bit whew thumb. have to come back, some kinda invisible wind on cubes level. ta lovely.

...uneven pacing (slow to start, some parts seemed like padding, much of the crazy & cool stuff happens near the end). A shame, because most players will never get to see what the game has to offer -- it's a stunning love letter to video games! (3/3)

...sequence was a HOT MESS to play, where every mistake seemed to result in multiple lost hearts, potentially. That part needs some serious work, as I suspect you'll be losing many players there. 3. The game generally suffers from some pretty... (2/3)

As for some detailed criticism: 1. The different setpieces sometimes dragged on a bit: They either need to be a bit shorter or they require some checkpoints (especially the last level & the minecart sequence. 2. Speaking of which, that minecart... (1/3)

There are many things in this game that are well done. I like the character model, the story, dialogs, the landscape, atmosphere and precise controlls. But there also very long ways to run without variety (boring) and confusing level design (frustrating)

This game is full of wonderful surprises! I haven't finished yet, but the biggest issue so far is the minecart section. Maybe consider making it 2D movement as I found it frustratingly difficult to stay aligned with them. But otherwise great so far!

I've been having a great time playing it, though! The game is chock-full of wonderful, wild surprises that I dare not spoil. It's a bit slow to start, but that didn't bother me. The gameplay gets more and more elaborate and engaging as it goes. Brilliant!

def stuck behind heart cube. btw good posture, straight backs, impressed. aah green pipe t'wig.

ok i haven't played this yet but it's obvious what happened from the description, too easy. modular synthesis does things to a person.
