This is a simple puzzle game made with PuzzleScript in 8 hours.

I originally didn't plan on participating, but I made the mistake of checking the theme at midnight ^^' Next thing I know, I had an idea I wanted to experiment with, and couldn't resist the urge.

It could be much more polished, but I'm happy with the core idea.

The source code is very messy, but it's available if you're interested.

Have fun, and thanks for playing!

awesome game, addictive and if you have more time you can make this fantastic. listening to the music of this game for a longer time makes your ears tired.

I really like it. I think it fits the theme well.

Cool game! I like it and got to the last level, almost figured it out before my browser decided to reload the page d'oh! Update: I ended up beating it! Great game! And wow ... 8hrs! You + Puzzlescript is an impressive combo. Will have to try my hand at that someday :)

Interesting take on a theme! It's curious to see how one theme can instantly spark imagination of one person and be a complete disaster for another one. Being 8 hours in I haven't even had an idea for a game.

Pretty nice small game, I like how simple and hard it is at the same time.

This is actually pretty nice, especially given this was done in 8 hours.

This is a very nice game for 8 hours! I like the sound effects in the game, and the rotation of the energy balls (in a loop!). Great job!

i liked the take on the theme here! Excellent use of double loops for the movement!! xD I beat all the levels. Even the last one, that one was tricky. :)

Great work! Perfect progression in difficulty, and A+ on educating the player on mechanics as you move through levels. The take on the theme worked really well, and executing on this in just 8 hours is fantastic! I look forward to your future puzzlescript and other creations!

Well done! Those last few levels did need some thinking and more than one attempt to get right! I was afraid that the timing would make it impossible, but it didn't, after a while moving at the right moment mostly came natural and it was really just a matter of figuring out what exactly to do. The sound is simple but very effective, it gives a sense of urgency.

A very interesting game especially in that short Time.
Cool principle and a well done game.

Good Job

Great game!

Bernhard26 Oct 2020, 20:29

Short and sweet, wish there were more levels!

Fractal26 Oct 2020, 20:35

Cool puzzle, the last level made me think quite a bit :)

Masaru26 Oct 2020, 23:12

Really cool game ! Solved the last level via brut-force (trying every option until one works) cause I couldn't figure out the actual answer, but yeah, was really fun ! I love the design of the enemies, really simple but works really well =)

Nazorus26 Oct 2020, 23:38

That's pretty impressive for only 8 hours of work, good job! It's a cool take on the theme and the puzzles were pretty fun to solve.

Raphiell26 Oct 2020, 23:47

Fun little puzzler, I'm not sure I completely understand the rules of how the things move, but I managed to finish all the levels anyway.

Well done!

adhesion27 Oct 2020, 00:06

Nice, not a super strong connection to the theme but the concept is cool regardless. The level design progression is pretty good though for me there was a pretty big jump in difficulty at level 5, also I couldn't figure out level 6. Would be cool to have some more levels in between to teach some of the more complex AI manipulation a bit better. Good work!
