Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback :)

Huh, I guess level design took the most time, but well deserved it! Not a fan of pure hack & slash,  and this one is quite charming, thought provoking - like I tried to make mine.

Developer

Thanks for checking my game out. Yep, level design always takes a bunch of time in puzzle games :)

Such a nice relaxing game! Really didn't expect that with the neon theme. Well done!

Developer

Thanks for playing and the comment. Yep, I was trying to do something a bit different with neon :)

Nice puzzle game. some really clever puzzles that never felt too intimidating. It was also really nice to have an undo button for the small mistakes like stepping on a plant for falling off an edge without having to start the whole level over again.  I could definitely see this game having a small release with some new mechanics. 

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback :)

Very well done! I didn't have any issues with my farmers falling off, but can see how it would be frustrating - unless a longer game would introduce elements that move the farmers around on their own, the only way it would happen is player error. If anything I wish there were an option to speed up the farmer's movement a bit. Very fun!

Developer

Hi, thanks for playing and the feedback. There is actually already an option to speed up the movement in the settings :)

I love puzzle games and this was the best game I haved played of this genre on the jam, very nice graphics, solid mechanics, and well though puzzles, congrats this was a great entry! I dont mind falling of the cliff :P

Developer

Haha, thanks so much :D

An interesting and fun take on the classic block-shoving genre, and you can tell that a lot of thought has gone into it!

Really makes you think, and I love the fact that you didn't just 'box' the players in! - I got a shock the first time my player fell over the edge, ha ha!  :D

Great submission! - Rated, and best of luck!!

Hey, thanks for playing and the feedback. Yeah the falling off the island is a bit of a polarizing feature in the game, some people like it and others hate it. I might have to just make it an option or something. Thanks again :)

Really cool puzzle game :) I was to stupid for the second level though but I liked that you could just  select any level so I could play some different ones. Artstyle is nice and fitting. The music gets a bit annoying over time, maybe have a longer soundtrack or multiple small ones? Anyway I enjoyed playing the game (:

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing. Happy you got a chance to check out the different levels and thanks for the feedback on the music :)

Clever-made puzzle game. I gave up after level 6 :) I hated the fact that the farmers had to return to their position after every level. Overall, nicely done! Rated!

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for checking out my game and giving me feedback. The intention was that the farmers needing to return to the markers would be incorporated into the puzzles but I can see how it would be annoying :)

Great idea, executed well. I gave up on level 2 because I'm too stupid for this game lol. I think the first levels should have hints or more guidance on how to play the game so you get the 'thinking right'. A couple of things that shouldn't probably happen is the player and the light being able to drop from the play area. Other than that it's a neat little game for puzzle lovers!

Developer

Hi, thanks for checking it. I agree that I should have stopped the player from being able to fall off the island but the light island blocks falling is a core mechanic that is needed to solve later levels as they become new platforms you can walk on. Thanks for the comments :)

Wow! I was blown away by this! This is so well made! I love these types of puzzle games! Once I reached level 4 where you had to bridge it over to the other island I was like "oh yeah, this is something special". Really great work!! Amazing all around!! 

My only real suggestion would be to not let the farmers fall off of the islands. Too many times I had to undo just because I held the key just a millisecond too long. Other than that, not much to say! Awesome work..

Oh, actually 1 more thing, there doesn't seem to be a way to exit the game from the main menu? I tried escape, end, and looked through all of the sub menus but couldn't find anything. Ended up having to use alt f4 instead. 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for checking it out :) Not falling off and exit option are great suggestions and something I will implement in a later update.

Aesthetic of the game is really nice! I enjoyed the music a lot. I think the theming of the ultraviolet light burning the plants was also pretty clever. I had some issues with constantly falling off the map though that could just be ingrained habit from other puzzle games. I think it could still work if you make it so you can't fall off the map. As death isn't really a penalty as you can undo your move easily. Maybe just make the movement disabled for the instant kill drop. Puzzles were definitely a good mixture of complex and I just found the game really nicely put together! Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback. I hadn't actually thought of just stopping the player from falling off, great idea :)

I love the aesthetics! It's simple and clean. Using the neon light to grow plants in a step based movement is clever! I'm surprised how complex the puzzles became with a few mechanics.  I got stuck on level 6 but had fun. 

One thing I'd recommend is simplifying the controls. I had to move my hand all over the keyboard for various inputs. It would have been easier to navigate the main menu using arrows + space bar rather than enter. During gameplay, it would have been great to have a menu to open to head back to the title screen or restart while having an undo button on a dedicated key closing to the space bar.

Overall, you did a great job on the game!

Developer

Thanks for checking out the game and the feedback. Agreed, getting the controls right was tricky, I think being able to custom map them could have helped. Thanks again :)

Nice, beautiful puzzle! I am very pleased with the presence of the "Undo" button, you do not have to replay the level because of a small error =)

Developer

Thank you for playing :) Happy you appreciate the Undo, I do my best to implement where I can.

Some very nice puzzles! With a mechanic that seems very unique! The puzzle designs are very nice! Although, the difficulty ramps up very quickly while the player is still learning. Visuals and audio are both great! Lots of room here for more mechanics into a full puzzle game! Great job!
