This is such a neat idea for the game!

Good and clear design, and also a story in an otherwise abstract puzzle, nice! The sounds were a bit loud, but music was great and fit the concept. The transition effect between sections was cool

This game was so cool. I really liked every aspect of the game.

Had a fun time figuring out the mechanics and really enjoyed the art, music, and level design. I loved the transitions from level to level, very interesting.

Very fun game! I don't know if this is a glitch or intentional, but one of the levels has a door control box cut off of the screen and it makes the puzzle VERY confusing.

Wow. This was great. Really polished, fantastic atmosphere, challenging level design. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this. Reminds me a bit of Volume or Metal Gear Solid

The art, the colors, and the mood are awesome!!

Super nice idea for a puzzle. I love it! It got a bit tricky cause the timing was so close, but the balance feels good and you can tell a lot of work went into it! Thanks for making it!

I love the music, for a spy game it is really subtle. The mechanics are really fun! I love puzzle games and this was challenging. Also the characters were witty and funny. Level design is also great.

cool idea, i was worried I'd have trouble keeping the elements (different boxes, the guards) of each level straight, but it was sparse enough/clearly communicated. The sort of camera swing transition from level to level was very cool, really slick, had that heist movie vibe.

You really should consider a WebGL build of your game on itch.io; I would like to play it but don't feel comfortable downloading a .exe.

I actually made a WebGL build, but unfortunately it runs at a nearly unplayable speed. I'm planning to make a post-jam version that fixes that, along with graphics and gameplay improvements, but it'll be a while before that's finished.

Very nice! I loved playing the game all the way through. The characters are well made and the gameplay is great, well done!

Simply amazing, it almost seems like one of those games that you'd later hear it started as a game jam entry!

It's a great well polished game with nice writing. A surprisingly quality game for LD

What a nice game ! Simple, effective, nice concepts. Really enjoyable. The kind of game I love in Ludum Dare.

Very good game! It's very polished and complete. I only wish tutorial was more clear. I didn't quite understand that you have to "hit" buttons to turn them on. Puzzles were well designed. Good job!

Molpe25 Apr 2020, 00:28
Really great game! With a story, nice graphics, fun but not easy gameplay, I liked it very much!

Abiral25 Apr 2020, 13:15
This game is really cool. I liked the minimal design to it & really enjoyed playing it. Good Luck for your future projects!

This game is amazing! The concept is genius and is a neat interpretation of the theme that I haven't seen yet. The puzzle mechanics were enticing and fleshed out excellently. To top that all off, the banter tutorial was cute and the circular level design was also pretty neat.
Overall, basically a perfect game holy moly well done

Nice idea! I liked the graphics and style of the game, but the audio was really annoying imo. Other than that, great game!

Dane Tesla29 Apr 2020, 12:33
a cool puzzle game! reminds me of mobile game design. great level design

Very nice game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 46 compilation video series, if you want to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/7Pd4SRINH38

What a wonderful puzzle game! I don't have any feedback other than this was really fun and so well designed. The mechanic of keeping the power alive using the energy gun is just perfect! The way the doors and lights interact was great, especially during the last puzzle.
Awesome job!
Awesome job!





Scene transitions are so smooth. Good work!
