!>2. You can check current task at the red mailbox

!>3. Aperture is adjusted if you can see image on the ground

Excellent, pleasing graphics, responsive controls, and puzzles that evolve and become engaging. Plus, the character is incredibly cute. A superb game

That was great! Most of my thoughts are for things I'm presuming you want people to figure out, so I've got it in a spoiler tag.

!>It took a while to figure out that the aperture was adjustable by grabbing a red handle mid-air, but once I did that, everything clicked into place. The ending was great too, I love how the music starts off completely silent and then gradually comes in and builds and builds.

Really hard, but I love the graphics, the concept, and the mechanics

Charming cartoon visuals, responsive controls, and clever puzzles that keep evolving make this a great little adventure. It can be challenging to figure out some mechanics, but the satisfying ending and music that builds along the way are worth it!

Loved the cartoonish art style and the concept! The puzzles are really fun. Great little game, well done!

You really can tell how much effort the team put into every little movement of the characters and objects. Even where things aren’t quite perfect, I can feel the "human". It took me a little while to realise I was looking at the inside of a film camera (even as a film cam lover!), but the moment everything clicked felt WONDERFUL. The game is a bit challenging, but that makes it all the more satisfying, and the difficulty curve is really well balanced as well. This is definitely one of my fav games I’ve played today!

I really enjoyed the idea of having to go through the lab to preserve that knowledge. Solving the puzzles and figuring out how the system works to save the light was a genuinely satisfying experience.

Neat, cozy, and relaxing game with nice animations and easy-to-grasp controls. A really enjoyable experience overall!
