love the minimalistic and clean artstyle, the puzzle also quite neat

Visually impressive, what a great atmosphere! The music was very nice too. Great job!
The gameplay was nice although very classic. It could have been more challenging too.

@quetzakol Thank you a lot for playing and leaving a bit of feedback! I agree that it wasn't anything too out of the ordinary, it's more meant to be a relaxing little puzzle game.

It looks and sounds amazing ! The gameplay is pretty cool too, although puzzles were a bit too obvious in my opinion. I think adding several possible paths / scenarios could make the game more engaging. But this is an amazing entry !

great atmosphere, really enjoyed it, the graphics were stellar and the concept so unique- I only wish it was longer!

Akros13 Aug 2018, 15:14
Loved the art style! I've already seen a few games with the falling platform mechanics (even mine is like that :D) But the approach to the puzzle is always different. Great entry!

Absolutely love the graphics and aesthetic of this game, and while the puzzles aren't very hard it was still a joy to play!

@missalpha @akros @starven Thank you so much for playing my game! I'm really glad you enjoyed it. As for the number of levels and the difficulty, I would like to develop the game a bit more after the jam and add more levels as well as making them increasingly difficult.

Really interesting, looks great too!

Cool game, very complete game for such a short game jam.

@enver-arco Thank you for the kind words! Let's just say not much sleep was had!

Very very good game, I'd love to see it as a standalone puzzle game

Interesting idea, I wish you could move a bit faster and some of the special mechanics were explained.

Sozey14 Aug 2018, 18:34
@madrededios Thank you a lot for your words of encouragement! I hope to continue working on the game.
@fizzpowmike1 Thank you for your feedback, I also wish I had a tutorial level to explain the mechanics and explain a bit of story.

Beautiful game! Love look and the mood. I agree with some previous comments that the movement could be a bit faster. But overall, love it!

Mironx15 Aug 2018, 10:39
As for me there are few levels, and they are rather simple. But beautiful graphics and nice music. I think you should just go ahead
BitPhinix15 Aug 2018, 11:38
I really like the graphics and the music. The puzzles are a little bit to easy but it's still a pleasure to play. Hope you do well!
Raccoon_JS15 Aug 2018, 15:58
I like the Fight Club reference early into the game.

Wow excellent graphics & audio, very polished looking game.


walnoot28 Aug 2018, 14:16
Nice game, very well executed. The overall mood and polish is really good. I think the length of the game is good for a jam game, I wish it was a bit more difficult though. Sometimes I got a bug where the character would stand on nothing after pushing a block, but this wasn't game breaking. But overall it's a really solid entry.

Velocity728 Aug 2018, 16:10
I like the idea and creativity. Awesome job.

The feels, ohhh the feels.... the graphics where pleasing to look at and cohesive. the music was pleasant but eerie, matching the graphical style. And the little messages made you think there was more going on, really drew you into the world. ohhh, and the game play, lets not forget the game play, it worked, challenged me but not so much so that I got frustrated.. after completing the game i did think maybe that was a bit too easy, but for a quick demo, it got my feet wet and wanting to go deeper.
The blue dots really caught my attention and made me wonder what was happening over by that "special" block, so of course I explored over and discovered something new, a moving block.
I did feel that player movement could benefit from some tweaks, initial movement upon pressing the directional key was fine, but the arrival felt like it took forever. There were many times I would anticipate the arrival and try to enter my next move, only to have it ignored and needing to repress. Felt like a lerp, initially fast but slowing with every update. The slow movement kind of matched the mood, but i would have liked it to be a more consistent speed ,maybe with just the final moments slowed for arrival.
Anywho, nice game, well polished, fun.

@velocity7 Thank you for your kind words!
@acuriosity Thank you so much for your detailled feedback, I'm truly happy you liked the game, and I agree, the movement animation deserves some more work!
