Played your game on stream. If you wanted to watch me go through it I've got the vod below timestamped to your game

Developer

Nice game! Very cool mechanic and challenging puzzles.

A fun game, the music in it was really nice and it was honestly pretty calming. Nice entry man :)

Amazing game with an incredible artstyle. The levels are really fun and the puzzles are very neat, loved the one in which the lever was inside walls that moved and I had to be creative on using the save and restore mechanics. Only nitpick is the screen resolution, the width is to big and doesn't scale down even when I went full screen I wasn't able to see the whole level, I got stuck on the first level because I wasn't to see the second door either way until I used the zoom out from chrome to be able to fit it in. Besides that the whole game is marvelously put together and enjoyed every second of it.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad you  have enjoyed the game besides the  screen resolution problem so thank you for letting me know that, it is important feedback.

Awesome game! I loved the visual effects and the stmosphere, I also really enjoyed the puzzles, nice interpretation of the theme, well done :)

Crazy how you were able to make this in a week, love the visuals and really cool mechanics, you can be proud of yourself!

Incredible atmosphere with such elegant art style and music, I truly enjoyed it. Thank you for this lovely experience! :D

This platforming in this game feels great and looks even better. The only thing I’d suggest is to offer some additional controls for the ESR to be mapped to the other hand, other than that, very cool.

Developer

Thank you! There are actually other control mappings for Saving and Restoring with the left and right mouse clicks in case it feels too clumsy but the UI was not updated properly. Thanks for the feedback!

Super cool game! I like the overall concept a lot, it's fun to solve the puzzles and work out how everything works with the respawning system. I love the art style, the game looks great and nicely polished. Really enjoyed my playthru, great work!

Developer

Thank you for having played the game in Live stream! I loved it, I learnt a lot from it.

The game play and graphics are really cool. It's lots of fun!

Submitted

Great game! I loved the mechanic, it's very cool and a great take on the theme. The puzzles are great and getting harder slowly, and it's very polished. I'm suggesting only making the restart button in the pause menu or something like that, cause it got me confused that it has a button that I need to touch with the player.

Keep it up!

A very simple, soothing game. The levels are well designed, though a bit difficult right off the bat. Thought provoking, engaging, and fun. What a fantastic submission for this jam!

Very simple gameplay yet difficult, but not too difficult. just had to use my brain more n more each time. Really cool puzzles and concept, love it! Very impressed that you did this yourself, I honestly wanted to play more! If you have time please check out our game too, it's also a puzzle platformer! 

Submitted(+1)

Wow, the idea is very interesting. The game is fun, the graphics are cute, the sound matches the game, and the UI is easy to read.

Developer

Glad you didn't have trouble understadning the UI! This is my major.

Submitted(+1)

That's very very very very very very cool! 
I like your idea and its realization. Super visuals, sound and idea. You're good.

Developer

I appreciate that!

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the visuals and sounds. In the section with two large restart buttons, I had a bit of trouble understanding the mechanic where the platform changes position when restored. Other than that, the overall level flow was good. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! Yeah, the mechanic wasn't really clear for this, I think I might change the level design with some quick drawings to explain it.

Submitted(+1)

A really great take on the theme and easily the best game I've played so far in this Jam! I found the one level with the moving spike platforms a bit frustrating but apart from that, it was great. The level design really showed the mechanic off great and made you use it in a variety of ways! Great work! Especially in a week!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it even though it was sometimes a bit frustrating. I have actually a lot more ideas to try but didn't had the time since it is a Game Jam. I think I will continue it into a real game!

Submitted(+1)

A nice art style with solid music to back it up! The mechanic was also very cool and plays into the theme well. I do wish the puzzles were a bit more difficult, but for just a week of development, thats unfair to ask. Nice job!

Developer

Thank you so much to have played it, it was really fun to see you play it in Live. It is intruiging because a lot of people didn't understood some puzzles and you got them all!

Submitted(+1)

Amazing game! The sound design, the art, the mechanics, the player controler, i'm speechless xd

It's really satisfying to play through and i didn't rage once, i knew it was my fault xd

Developer

Merci ! Je suis content que cela n'était pas trop dur finalement

Submitted(+1)

This is incredible for a week on your own and making most of the asset yourself, Kudos! An head scratcher that will make you think more than you'd think you'd be able to and the amount of levels is impressive, thank you for the submission, had fun!

Sometimes I had trouble controlling the character as it felt a bit "slidey", but i'ts honestly a nitpick for what this is, keep it up

Developer

Thank you so much! I was worried it was maybe too difficult, glad that you got that feeling! I have added a sliding amount on the starting and ending movement but I think I might reduce it in the future. Thanks for the feedback!
