Well done, though controls could have been better. Space to change level instead of enter, and maybe also space instead of clicking on the objects would have made it much nicer to play. The game itself is good though, interesting idea. Graphics and sound are nice as well.
(Positive) + Easy to learn controls and game mechanics. (Positive) + An interesting idea for a puzzle game. I enjoyed looking for the objects to interact with. (Negative) - Not really any puzzle solving; only look for the specific objects to interact with. It would have been nice if there were more objects that could be interacted with other than those required to solve the puzzle. This could have been done, for example, by making it so the gem gets moved away from the portal in certain situations or even making a specific order in which objects had to be interacted in. Also, I noticed that the fans could be toggled on and off, so there could have been a timing puzzle used with this. (Negative) - Having the walls on the right highlight as the mouse moved over the triggers on the left made things a bit too easy to find; only highlighting objects when the player was right next to the trigger could change this.
Graphics:
(Positive) + The graphics are consistent and each one looks like it belongs in the same world.
Music:
(Positive) + The music fits the game very well, in both mood and quality of the instruments used. (Negative) - The music does get a little repetitive after a while. An option to mute the music would've been nice.
Final Thoughts:
A lot of potential for improvement, mostly need to make the game feel more puzzle like. Overall great job!
I really like the implementation of the theme. The puzzles were very unique, however it felt more like a point and click adventure, because the only real challenge was finding the triggers. You should definitely make more levels!
Pretty cool thing you've got going on here. However, the game quickly became uninteresting due to the puzzles just being, 'find the button'. I get the feeling that a lot of cool things were planned for this game which weren't implemented due to time constraints. So I think if you continued to work on this and made the puzzles more interesting you could have something really cool.
