Great game! The puzzles enjoyable and chill. The presentation is excellent. I like that you get drip fed the story at the start of each level.

Very cool. Loved the mechanics and the somber music felt right alongside the story. Intro cutscene? Hell yeah. Ending cutscene? Hell yeah. Great job making this in a week! Absolutely cool entry.

Very nice game! Amazing that you made it in 7 days with the content, depth, story, and polish it had!

Thank you! That's very kind! My partner was out of town for most of the week so I guess I had quite a lot of free time I needed to spend on something :P
I'm glad you liked the game!!

Hard to believe that such a nice and polished game was made in 7 days! Really liked it!

Very nice game.  It's really fun and satisfying to play and as mentioned by someone, I would definitely play more of that game on mobile. Good job!

Excellent game !!! GG

The sound effects and visuals were very satisfying and the overall presentation is incredibly well done! There were a few tricky stages in adding/removing land and inverting everything, but that's not bad by any means. Very solid puzzle game!

I’m a puzzle game fan, so I really enjoyed this!

You sequenced the difficulty well by introducing new pieces one at a time. The color inversion piece was very interesting and added some nice complexity. Especially on the last puzzle, having to invert twice. Took me a few minutes to get it!

The art is gorgeous and the animations were really well done. Fantastic job on this!

Wonderful game! it would be worth making this a mobile game and charging for it!!!

The intro and animations were made in your homemade engine?! I gotta say, those animations were brilliant! The dynamic transition of the music was also great. All around a very nice and polished puzzles game. I really enjoyed the mechanic of each piece (especially the gate!)

Developer

Thank you! It makes me happy to hear you liked the animations! It's the first time I try my hand at animating something like this and the tools I've added to the engine were a bit crude :P But it was a lot of fun and I'm eager to do more in the future. Thanks for the encouragement! :)

I’m not good enough at puzzle games to get very far with this, but I enjoyed the the gameplay and the style is brilliant, both the intro and in the main game itself

I wasn’t entirely sure whether the visualisation on the left meant that you needed to surround the piece in all those tiles, or if those are just the limitations and placing pieces at the edge is a way around it. It seemed like a mixture of the two. Regardless of that, the tutorialisation was great!

A one move undo button would also be useful, but other than that, this feels like a really polished effort for a game jam!

Thank you for the kind comment! And for being specific about what parts were confusing to you, it's very helpful to know! In case you're curious, the rule is that the piece needs to be surrounded by the specified tiles, but that the tiles "outside" the board count as the background color, which is normally light. I'm not sure if that made it any clearer. I might not be any better at explaining in text than in the game, hehe :P Anyway, thanks for giving it a shot!

The idea of a one move undo button is great by the way, it seems like an obvious addition in hindsight, but that's the way it is with good ideas :) Thanks for mentioning it

Submitted(+1)

Ahhh that makes sense now! Yeah I guess it might help just to add a line saying that the area outside the board counts as tiles of that colour

Submitted(+1)

I didn't expect it, but this game has it all. Absolutely brilliant work!

The levels are very smart. Never knew what it takes to create puzzle games like this, must've needed a lot of thinking.

damn this is really nice, from graphics to music

Submitted(+1)

This is a really nice game, probably my favorite so far. Music is nice (and dynamic, plus points for that. Puzzles are rather clever, last one made me genuinely smile
