This time it was quite hard, because I spent 6 hours learning how to create proper models in Blender and another 6 hours on UI which I didn't like and deleted it. Otherwise I think I put almost everything I wanted ;)

Post Compo version is almost identical to normal one. I just made few performance optimisations.

Engine: Unity 3D
Code: C#
Models: Blender
Textures: Photoshop
Audio: Logic Pro

Very very well done!
The gameplay mechanics were clever, the graphics good, the level design great. I loved the ambient sounds! It created a great atmosphere.

Impressive that this was done in 48 hours. ;)

Great atmosphere, I'll play any game where I can walk around a dark temple. Simple but satisfying puzzle premise.
nesis28 Apr 2014, 03:04
Holy crap, just... wow! I love the graphics, sound, and gameplay. Really nice effort!
shotiris28 Apr 2014, 08:48
This one's a stand-out for me from all I've played. Love the concept, great stuff!
loadx28 Apr 2014, 10:25
Love the gameplay, level design is good, graphics are great. What more is there to say.

Very hard to believe it could be this polished after 48hrs.

Very well done :)

Great gameplay. Fun and challenging at the same time.

Great work.

Oooh, that's pretty. And puzzly! Love it! :D

Fantastic game. Just the right length.
Jack28 Apr 2014, 11:34
This game was absolutely fantastic. Simple puzzles, but completely solid mechanics and a really nice style. I'd recommend disabling the jump though, because I accidentally got myself stuck with it and had to glitch my way through a pillar to get out

Simply wonderful! This is pro work, and I enjoyed playing every minute of it. I'd love to see a post-compo version with more levels.
Andrew Adams28 Apr 2014, 12:00
Nicely done. Great puzzle design, and executed well.
Romko Pidstryhach28 Apr 2014, 12:00

Had a great time playing this game! Puzzles were solvable, but also not too easy. Great atmosphere, too. Really amazing job!

This is really great!! The best game of LD29 so far for me!!

This could be the winner game!
Greg Power28 Apr 2014, 13:34
Incredible polish for one weekend. Great atmosphere - it felt dank. Great work!
tiffi28 Apr 2014, 13:52
Perfectly polished, great sounds, graphics, gameplay. Wow
Blueberry Soft28 Apr 2014, 14:39
I enjoyed this, and I think it's a great game for a 48 hour event. But the puzzle doesn't get any more clever that 'what is the most complicated way I could arrange these objects', rather than anything truly puzzling. Curious to see if you continue with this!

Very, very nice!
Kept me captivated all the way till the satisfying end. Mechanics are easy to grasp, love the in-game instructions, and gets harder along the way, while staying approachable. Good work!

Dood, not fair. XD

Very cool mechanic although in Chrome under Win7 I am having a lot of trouble aiming the light beams accurately because they move so fast.

Gameplay is not really original but the level design is really good o_o

@BallpointPress - the rotation is always + or - 45 degrees. No need for precise rotation. Or is it something different?

Excellent mood and visual style! Such as pretty little game :)

Attention to details... nom, this earns you a lot of points <3 I really loved how the tables shook when you pushed them the wrong way. Really nice!

I've seen many many versions of this puzzle before (I just played basically the same puzzle in Skyrim recently) but this is beautifully produced and art directed with a wonderful ambient soundtrack. Great level design too.

Wow, this is really good! The graphics are amazing and the game concept is really fun. Good job!
Jellycakes28 Apr 2014, 20:08
Really nice for a compo entry! The art looks good, the sounds are great, the mood is pretty fitting. Really nicely polished. Good job on puzzle elements too because I know how hard they can sometimes be to create. Overall really nice job!
quade8128 Apr 2014, 20:14
This is a great game. Very good use of 2 days. I think it got my highest rating yet.

The game is pretty well made and pretty, but some of the pieces are hard to see when they aren't illuminated.
coquinounet29 Apr 2014, 09:14
I love this game ! And it was done in only 48 hours !

Larzan29 Apr 2014, 09:56
Georgeuos, you should make more levels and publish it, i had a blast playing it, great idea for a puzzler!!!
DMinsky29 Apr 2014, 12:23
Great, just great! Very holistic game.

This. Was. Great.
Everything about this is awesome.
SaintHeiser29 Apr 2014, 15:23
Nice done!
This game has awesome athmosphere. It's a pity that puzzles too easy for me...
loxo29 Apr 2014, 17:14
Quite good for a game made in 48 hours, it looks and feels very polished. I wonder how you made the sound effects, because the sound familiar. More levels would be nice, work your way up to the surface.
Mekuri29 Apr 2014, 18:03
Awesome game! Amazing that you could do all this in 48 hours. It is extremely well polished, and the graphics are great! A post compo version with a good story and more levels, could make it far ;-)
Roman Kornev29 Apr 2014, 22:01
Great game! Amazed by the atmosphere! Everything from artstyle to audio is great! Too bad it was kinda short...
fserb29 Apr 2014, 23:28

I was not smart enough to beat the game but I managed to break the light chain. Include hints? Very moody and fun to play.

The mood is excellent as it really grabbed me and persuaded me that I'm not in my room anymore and telling me that I'm in this underground and the only way out is by solving the light ray puzzle. The graphics are great as well. I like this kind of games and this one is really well done.
Harsay3 May 2014, 20:07
This game is going to be on top 10 for sure.
Awesome mood, awesome graphics BUT WHY THERE'S NO SCREAMER!?
randoman4 May 2014, 13:45
Very nice graphics and puzzle! I had a small bug before the first door, one of the crystals stopped working. Besides that it was a great experience! Congratulations!
King_Mew4 May 2014, 16:25
Great! The last puzzle was a bit hard but I finally managed to beat it.

Penguincat5 May 2014, 05:31
This was pretty cool, I really liked the look of it, the sound, the atmosphere, the mechanics, and the controls. In fact, basically everything was great! The only problem was I ran into a bug where one of the crystals just refused to transmit the light it was receiving, so I couldn't progress further :/

Brilliant! I loved the clever level design and the atmosphere, great job! :)

Every atmospheric and amazing visuals. Very solid puzzle game too. Great design and even little things such as the wobbling animation when you try to push something off-track show the amount of polish that went into this.

I beat the game and I liked it. I think this is a top 5 entry.
It has too much quality for a compo game, good job.
I liked all the small details like the footstep sounds and floating text for the instructions.

Why no PC version? I would've like to play it full screen.

Really great job! The aesthetic is gorgeous.

I adored this - the best puzzler.

DragonXVI9 May 2014, 18:06
Fantastic example of the ol' light/mirror puzzle. Assets perfect and well polished for the time given, controls simple and well explained with good feedback and audio on the reflectors. Puzzles well implemented with the 2 different types of reflector. Overall style very good - Easily one of the best games of the competition. :D

Solid puzzler, good use of unity's pro tools, everything ran smooth and played nicely. You didn't overdo it but you did get the most out of the mechanics you implemented. All around solid game.
Dominator_10116 May 2014, 21:23
Really nice puzzle game, with a nice atmosphere.

GFM18 May 2014, 23:48
Man, instead of being a simple "game beneath the surface", the mechanic you created from that... it's just awesome!
I really liked it!
PetorialC19 May 2014, 01:24
Nice graphics & good concept.
Great effort!!
Dietrich Epp20 May 2014, 00:58
Wow, pretty amazing! It's compelling right from the start, which is a mean feat for such a short time. An export for Windows or OS X would be really nice, since I had problems with the web player losing mouse focus and it would be nice to play this full screen.
jerombd27 May 2014, 14:58
Great puzzle-game with sweet graphics! I would like to see this kind of puzzles into a bigger game like Legend Of Grimrock.
