Great gameplay idea. I like the variation between the levels

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Very creative concept! Was fun to play. Sometimes I had to search the startpoint at the beginning. So a hint for that would be great :)

Developer

Yes, we thought that the character might not be visible. Thanks for playing.

Great level design. But the controls are a bit hard. 

Great way to incorporate the theme. Also really loved the part in the PC, good 3d models.

Good job :)

This game is definitely a difficult one. It looks great, has a cool concept, though it could use a little bit more work in terms of movement.

Really nice visuals and and interesting take on the theme :) I gave up on level two after failing several times. It's a little unclear when you can and can't jump wires and whether or not that decrements your health.

Developer

Jumping from a wire with one color to another wire with the same color will not spend your HP points otherwise you will lose HP. Thank you for playing.

Looks awesome and a cool idea! I got stuck on level 2 because I often couldn't jump to wires?

Developer

There are hints before the start of the level, and also remember that the black wires block your jump, enjoy.

Really nice game i enjoyed it and contrary to most i liked the movement how it was. Super interesting concept that i didn't actually see so far! So thanks alot for uploading ! <3

The operation was a little confusing, but the design is good!

I had to spend some time with it to get used to it, I don't want to repeat what others have said but that movement is pretty rough, IMO directions should be relative to the screen and not the wire especially when the wires don't really have clearly defined directions visually. Nice art and great concept, cool levels, I like it.

Developer

We'll take it into account, thanks for playing.

Hey, thank you for the game! I like visual and sounds :) Interesting idea, i would say

Besides, I was a bit confused how to jump on another wires

But basically, definitely good game :) 

Developer

Thank you so much, thank you

Great looking and sounding game, I was a little confused with the movement to start but I got the hang of it.

I didn't realise I was losing HP and sometimes was left wondering why I died.

A decent entry!

Thank you for playing.

The game looks great, but I had a hard time understanding what was needed to be done

Overall great puzzle game !

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Pretty fun and I like the idea, but the movement is annoying, when it's tied to the direction of the pipe, and you don't instantly realize what's the direction of the pie, but if it wasn't it would it would still would feel weird, so I recommend that it should instead go to the direction of your cursor, and holding moves towards it, and you just jump the cable when you click right click, and it would feel a lot more intuitive, also selecting the correct pipe was usually very annoying, when I was clearly pointing at it, and it just wouldn't select it, also the visuals need something extra, maybe simple textures or something, it currently looks really bland.

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Interesting take on the theme! Like others said, movement really needs some polish (I think aiming while moving would be very helpful for the parts where you need to be really quick, and being able to go either up/down or sideways on the curved wires would be more intuitive), and the rules are not immediately clear (making the barriers somewhat more visible or simply replacing them with bigger distances would help).

Developer

Thank you for playing.

I love this concept! It took me a while to properly learn the rules but this definitely has great potential for some tricky puzzles. The movement could be a bit finicky at times, but still workable. Either way, great work.

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Interesting concept for a game, found the movement to be really clunky to use, other overall a fun little experience.

Developer

Thank you for playing.

controls with mouse a little hard as on laptop away but apart from that very cool game!

Developer

We'll take it into account, thanks for playing.
