Nice game, could do with slightly less effects.
The effects were nice in the beginning, but they kept disrupting my view while cracking the 11+5 lock.
The mood was nice :D

I love the very stylized art style for this game, nice job!

You found a nice balance with the "puzzles", each step got me slightly confused for a while but I eventually managed to beat them all without issues.

On the downside, the music helps setting the mood but grows tiring after a while. Other than that (and the fact that I wanted more!) it was a pleasing experience, and certainly a very respectable entry for a solo work!

Thanks for your comment! I'm pleased to hear the puzzles confused you !

About the music I agree! and it's not looping properly :D

Nice idea ! Some visual effect are disturbing for resolving the puzzles :/
But it's still a good game ! Good job

Very interesting puzzles. Initial screen was hardest of all puzzles for me (Hehehe)!

I don't like to use fancy shaders everywhere, but I found it mimics my old CPC with failing green monitor my brother gave me decades ago and found it relevant;

I remember I played a game on this computer and with the low amount of colors I couldn't guess what was going on!

Anyway, gonna test all your games this week :)
Thank you for the constructive comments !

Interesting puzzles and very unique style, though toning down the effects could help just a little bit.

The game is stylized with nice arts. However the music is not that much soothing and distracting at some stage. I love the game play. Keep improving my dear friend :)

Well made, I liked the mood and the effects, though I passed half of the puzzles by luck :P Good job!

Nice game couldn't solve one puzzle though it's all blurry and stuff :P. Still nicely done thanks for the entry

Hello, what puzzle was blurry ? did you use "fantastic" setting ?
Manouauthor22 Apr 2016, 13:58
I think the blurried textures do happen if your graphics card driver anisotropic filtering is off.

One of the puzzles was just a blank screen, and the sound one never ended but it looked cool and the screen effects were funky
Manouauthor22 Apr 2016, 17:26
Hello :) What version did you play ?
Manouauthor22 Apr 2016, 17:29

Great entry you made there. I really enjoyed it and played until I finish it, some puzlles were super interesting. Also, the art style is unique and enhance the mood. Congrats !

Voila une exp&eacute;rience plut&ocirc;t weird - selon nos amis anglo-saxons. J'aime beaucoup cet esprit cyber-punk particuli&egrave;rement d&eacute;cal&eacute;. Tu te consacres au visuel avant tout - et c'est un choix que je respecte. Une belle entr&eacute;e. Bonne continuation Manou ++

Love the style, but the gameplay was a bit weird. I had no idea what I was doing, why it worked and why I was doing it.

Interesting puzzles, good use of the theme, and wonderfully old-school graphics. Wish it was longer!

I have to admit, I was on edge the entire time, fearing a jumpscare or the likes. I also couldn't help but be reminded of Undertale's "speech sounds" when the AI was talking, which certainly didn't help me feel less on-edge.

Gorgeous! I love glitchy aesthetics, so this was right up my alley. Personally, I loved all the effects, and found the ambience to suit it excellently.

Apart from accidentally solving the rotating wheel puzzle, the only thing I might suggest changing is replacing the default cursor, since as it is it floats above all the effects.

Congratulations on an awesome game!
Manouauthor29 Apr 2016, 18:28
Thank you guys, yeah you're right about the cursor it distracts from the immersion/experience.

I got stuck on the sound sequence. I had played the sounds, and it even said 'Congratulations' but nothing happened after that.
Manouauthor30 Apr 2016, 08:00
Hello what version did you play ?
thebrainfuse30 Apr 2016, 11:59
Good aesthetic, although sometimes the graphics hinder the problem-solving (like the wheel: could not see the inscriptions properly)... felt it got over too quickly!
g1234530 Apr 2016, 12:08
I think I've finished every one of the puzzles by luck.

It's also hard to judge this game since the only version I can download is the postjam version.

Nice mood.
Manouauthor30 Apr 2016, 12:47
Hello post-jam version is the same as the original + fewer screen ratio. I deleted webgl version so the fixes I did for webgl were undo.
