The Hand Made Tale is a puzzle/speed game about hand shadows. And my first game!

You're supposed to form the gesture, with your hand, that could represent the shadowy object on the right. Some of the puzzles may be a bit too nonsensical and difficult, so don't feel to bad about checking the cheats.

And also on the speed mode my personal record is 57. Try beating that!

Really clever! It made me think.

I would have gotten the rock horns right away if the image was an electric guitar or something, but the music note stumped me. I didn't get the win gesture either ... maybe just a hand gesture I'm not familiar with?

Great work on your first game though, I love the style of it!

Thanks for playing. The idea of the music note was that the circle at its base was the "rock" shadow from before. So it was supposed to be "rock" + "music/music note" which is often associated with the hand sign. It may have been kind of far-fetched like many of the other shadows. Sorry about that.

Oh no, now that I understand that's actually really clever.

I checked out this game and this is the best jam entry that I have seen.Good stuff.

Thanks! Hearing that makes me very happy.
