Good job, a fun game that plays well. I like the mechanics of rotating the cards to turn the lights on or off. I found it cool how many different combinations of cards you can use.

Cool concept for a game, a good amount of polish. The title and obvious logo ripoff cracked me up

Nice and simple puzzler. I was hoping that the game mechanics or challenge would grow over time since there is a good scaffolding for a game here.

This was I nice puzzle game with element of urgency. Nice idea and nice implementation!

Although I was slightly confused at first, this quickly became a wonderful little puzzle game (that I ended up playing for way to long).

Cool puzzle game that's easy to pick up!

Great game! I haven't had much exposure to this type of Braille tool, so this game was a great learning experience for me.

You have a unique game idea and I like the humor in having the staff being all blind! I also like the sound effect that was used for inserting the cards into the machine. Perhaps it was recorded from a printer or similar device? just curious. Regardless nice work on getting this all done for the COMPO!

@ddesigndude: Thank you for your kind words! The sound recording was done two hours before the deadline. Imagine me sitting in front of a microphone in the middle of the night with a cordless drill, tin can + spoon and a mechanical stamp :-)

Really cool concept.
It was a bit confusing at first but I found that having 2 by 2 cards that can be inserted by both ends create a really good dynamic and puzzle game.
This is also a really nice use of braille. Kudos for that.

really cool submission.

on a 4k display the mouse's dialogue is offscreen:

I figured it out anyway, super cute! Great concept too

Welp I'm an idiot lol

I missed the instructions and thought I was just supposed to turn all the lights on/off and then I fully missed that I could rotate the cards

Very fun once I figured out what I was doing. It could've used a bit more of a progression mechanic, like speeding up the cards falling or a timer or something like that

Oh This game is interesting and the idea is new
