Made using Flex and the TweenLite library, graphics 100% done through code. A very short series of very simple, pretty puzzles I had sketched in my notepad. The puzzles themselves aren't so difficult it's mostly just figuring out how to control them. If you really want *HINTS* then go here http://pastebin.com/L7pGxa5s

Wow. I love the subdued visual style and presentation. For me, games with no explanation/direction can go one of two ways. I quit almost immediately or there is something there that intrigues me and I bite. I loved the feedback, I think it is the reason I was excited to discover the game. I bit :)

After the first puzzle I got stuck at the gray blob.

It was nice and concise. The visuals are great and the game was pretty solid. There were times where i felt like I wasn't getting enough feedback but I eventually got it. It needs some ambient music in the back.

The puzzles are pretty hard but damn is this pretty,

Great execution, esp. since the graphics are all code-based. Well done!

Probably the best interpretation of the theme I've seen so far - awesome presentation too.

Very nice game, took a while to get the hang of it, but enjoyable!

Clever. I incredibly enjoyed finishing all of the puzzles--you see, I have a great intellect, and I didn't stumble through the 2nd one and get stuck on the 3rd.
Fnkee29 Apr 2013, 06:18
Thrilling game! Great puzzles!

This was very very cool. I do know what game this was inspired by, but still you put a unique style into it and made it different. really cool how you learn how to do stuff with just mouse position and how it can be used in so many ways. lol the last scene i was just like "eww eww eww" lol but it was a cool 3d effect. this was a really cool project :)

I couldn't get past the second level - yet very well done. there should be more games like this

Visually very cool but why no sounds? :(
Very contemplative, great atmosphere but the gameplay is sometimes disturbing, don't know what to do.

I like puzzles games like this. The third stage reminds me of the Bond intro sequence. It had a "down the rifle barrel" feel. The first two felt biological. Awesome game!
unclejunkie29 Apr 2013, 07:55
Nice style and approach, tho I stuck at the second puzzle.
jijaweb29 Apr 2013, 07:59
Well done. Fun and artish!

Cleared. Neat puzzle with good difficulty. done 100% through code? awesome.

Neat presentation and mood, but the cells puzzle is not responsive enough. Took me several minutes before I could divide them properly.
caasi29 Apr 2013, 08:31
Such a nice idea!
And it's good that I don't have to wait 9 months to finish this game XD
gamesaucer29 Apr 2013, 08:52
The Windows download does not work for me.
gamesaucer29 Apr 2013, 09:01
The game feels pretty great, because the controls are pretty smooth. The game scores especially high on innovation, because there are a few things that I wouldn't have thought of for sure.

However, as much fun as discovering the controls at first can be, the game gets boring pretty quickly. This might have to do with the lack of sound.

The simple graphics fit the theme quite well, and so do the intuition-driven controls. The graphics might be simple, but they are well-made, so the game scores high here, too.

There wasn't much humor to this game, except in level 2, where duplicating the cells struck me as quite funny.

Overall, the game feels pretty good and fits well together.
oatsbarley29 Apr 2013, 09:21
Lovely! You're right that the difficult part is figuring out the controls, I got stuck for a bit on the metaballs puzzle.
OysterKLAN29 Apr 2013, 09:32
I really like the lack of explanation, it somehow creates a really ...intimate(?) experience with the puzzles. Super cool.

Artsy and mysterious. I finally figured out how to do with the black spots, but I have to say, the lack of responsiveness makes it a bit frustrating, so I stopped at that point. I wonder if there's anything further..
Komradus29 Apr 2013, 10:50
The second puzzle needs some sort of indicator as to how close the player is to completing it. Other then that, interesting stuff.

Nice concept. A slight visual cue on the cells that could divide would have helped if it could be done without making things too obvious.

The cell part feels kinda unresponsive but very intruging otherwise.
Pacifist Games29 Apr 2013, 14:10
Really elegant puzzle game!
I really enjoyed figuring out the controls, and the visuals were very nice. I was able to complete them all in a few minutes. I feel that the only thing the game lacked was a little sound.
Pacifist Games29 Apr 2013, 14:11
Also, thanks for the nice comment on my entry! :)
AlanZucconi29 Apr 2013, 16:32
The game did not disappoint my expectations! :)

Really amazing work. So much intelligence and thoughtfulness and relazing mind candy to be had. Takes patience. Good job!
Galvesmash29 Apr 2013, 22:16
I got stuck at the gray blob too :(
DavidErosa29 Apr 2013, 22:21
Wow, pretty hard game but fantastically well done!
7Soul29 Apr 2013, 22:39
After the first puzzle I got stuck in a white screen with a grey pixelated blob in the middle :/
Andrew Shouldice29 Apr 2013, 23:27
Bravo. This feels like a set of interactive art pieces.
CyberYeti29 Apr 2013, 23:54
The visuals are superb, amazing puzzles and the simplistic controls make it fit the theme wonderfully. Awesome job!

Wow. This is incredible. A very rewarding experience, especially after you see how many other people couldn't solve the puzzles, haha. (I got the trick to the third one almost the second it opened up!)

Really enjoyed this game a lot. The blobs level took me the longest to suss out I think. I like the concept of a visual mouse movement based puzzle game, nice work!
Foxtacy
Foxtacy30 Apr 2013, 01:54
I like the idea and the concepts but... either i'm stupid enough not to get what i am supposed to do or... the game doesn't provide enough feedback. I'm going with the first option XD
neight30 Apr 2013, 02:26
This was excellent. Thank you. Great game. I want so much more of it. Go find a great audio/music person, and this would be elevated even further.
silentspartan7230 Apr 2013, 07:25
I love this game, you have to figure out each puzzle without any instructions. The theme was amazing and kept me interested.

I really enjoyed this game, the way the puzzles moved were so elegant. Great job.
wzl30 Apr 2013, 13:21
Love it! the second one was a tad arbitrary. Loved the tunnel though! Very nice :D
Jacques_le_lezard30 Apr 2013, 14:28
Oooh noooooo, too short! ^^ I think you should add some sound/music, but nice anyway!

How could I've overlooked the story of this game, the first time I played it. Slowpoke much.
Once again; Magic!

A bit hard to get it, but I really loved the visual effects!
