Double y's in Mystyy because it's a Mysty-y (myst-like-like). Below is my description if I ever feel like adding mystyy's to my site. Completely unrelated, I made a game for the 2024 GMTK game jam: https://notthefuture.com/aquatomic/

-7 Sins:
🔍 Find the Pixel: 3 - The items are placed obviously, but finding the entrances to some of these rooms was a pain. If you didn't have a map, this would be significantly worse.
🚦 Arbitrary Advancement: 1 - The game is based on a set of rules, so it's kind of not arbitrary.
🍗 Item Buffet: 3 - There are a lot of items, but you generally know what they're used for, at least once you've played the game a little.
⏭ Unskippables: 5 - Saving takes 75 seconds, there's transition cutscenes between each node, and a lot of the game is just waiting around for these ghosts. I mean, you can speed it up once you know the mechanics a bit more, but playing this game takes forever.
🎻 Fiddle to Win: 3 - A lot of this game is walking around randomly looking for the orb or item you need, but it's also all rule-based besides the randomized item placements.
🧀 Cheese: 4 - This is pretty incompetent overall, and kind of in a cringe way more than a funny way.
🧱 Brick the Game: 3 - You will probably wind up in a situation where you don't have enough time to banish a ghost, but that's expected by the player. In the second and third rounds though, you can lock yourself out of an area if you use an item before unlocking a door.
