Neat little platformer that controlled well. My main issue was the pink/purple platforms were hard to tell when they were on or off. The sound effects were also pretty loud compared to the music. Great work tho!

Nice platformer. I enjoyed the mystery of what's behind the door at the end of each level. I also liked the clean and simple art style, and the little effects on the laser lines. Some critical feedback:

  • SFX felt a bit too loud compared to the chill quieter music
  • it was too hard to tell whether a dark purple platform was on or off (colors were too similar)
  • the text at the end of each level didn't fit the art style of the rest of the game

Overall though, good job!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely will be taking this to update the game in the future.

Good game, could you please rate my game(https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-11/rate/2536045)? My game has very few ratings :(

Super fun experience! And what a great concept! Had lot of fun playing through the levels, and the idea of not actually opening the door is genius.

The puzzles were challenging, which I like. You brought a lot of different mechanics and played around with them, which is great. Each puzzle feels very different because they all use these different mechanics differently. That's super good! Audio and SFX were really good too!

Overall a super fun experience!

Hey! Unfortunately neither the browser nor the PC version worked for me. The inputs don't seem to be working. I'm playing on Windows and Opera btw. If anything got a fix it'd be much appreciated!

if you're on the screen with the "reset" button,  then hit it. Afterwards another button should appear with the number 1 on it. When you press that button the game starts. Hope this helps!

Thanks

A really solid platformer, the movement feels precise and controlled which can be quite difficult to pull off so nicely done. 

Developer

I didn't mean to make the game so challenging, but it certainly turned out that way. Thanks for playing!

The reverse psychology of not opening the door made me want to open it so much more. The movement was smooth. I honestly had the most trouble with the pink and purple platforms, it was hard to discern when they could be stood on. Also got stuck cuz one of the switches kinda camouflaged with a purple platform. Good game nonetheless!

Developer

I apologize for the visual clutter. Glad you had a good time regardless!

It's a fun platformer, and I like the theme implementation. Some of the later levels can be a bit unforgiving but it's fun

Developer

Thanks for playing the game!

Fun game, but the sfx is a bit loud compared to the music. This game is awesome!

Developer

Developer

Thanks you! I glad someone enjoyed the game :).
