Really good game. It's simple and cute, mechanics are interesting. But, I think, it's better to keep portals positions after your failed try. It can become a full game, really big potential ;)
Thank you! The reset mechanic will be revised in the future!
Very good game, I really like this type of logic games, and to be quite honest I would definitely play it if you would release it on android version. Very fun game! :>
Thank you for playing! Sure, I would take some time to work on it :)
Nice idea and a good concept for the Theme. I really like the little puzzles and enjoyed playing it.
Great work! :)
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it and had fun!
Nice concept! The puzzle design is pretty good, and the character's love of diamonds is cute. Sometimes the portals didn't want to follow the mouse, had to start dragging several times. You wanted suggestions, so here's a few puzzle element ideas:
- Black hole that sucks the player in and throws him/her somewhere.
- Spring board.
- Something that pushes the diamond horizontally.
- A case/box/chest holding the diamond you have to break or unlock.
- Something that changes the angle of gravity.
- "Deadly mass" and an armor you have to wear to pass it.
- Portals with limited usage, you have to pass them a couple of times (with player or diamond).
- Liquid that passes through portals, fills canisters and pushes their weight down on a button or another element.
Other suggestions: Make the portals more animated, have them react to player/diamond passing through them. Make the world seem more alive.
Hope there's something you find useful. Feel free to implement, or ignore, any of them.
Thank you for playing and providing so much ideas.
I would take those into consideration in my future development.
Some of these ideas are what I never thought of!
And the portal effect is part of the plan!
I really like this game!,especially the art ,music and gameplay.
Thank you! I'm appreciated!
Really liked this game! Would like to see more. Good job! :)
Glad you like it! I would keep working on this project in the future.
Good to hear!
Simple but fun.
Thank you! I'm glad you have fun!
VeryNice!Just implement the positions autosaving of the last unsuccessful attempt
Thank you! I will definitely get it done!
Cool idea, it looks fun! Graphics, characters. Everything is super. Only the music is very loudly twisted
Thank you for playing!
Sorry for the loud music, I wasn't doing a good job on sound mixing.
I would work on this after the jam is over.
This is a gorgeous game with a soothing soundtrack. Very strong level designs as well!
Thank you! I'm flattered!
I'm still learning how to design a good puzzle level!
Great puzzle solving entry! I really enjoyed this game. Nice and clean UI, with just enought effects. Good job!
Thank you for playing! And I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I always think that I am not doing a good job on UI, mostly because of the lack of UI assets.
Thus, I can only make UI simple, but it's good know it's not that bad!
Damn right is the last level tricky in a weird way. Well done.
Haha, actually Deja Vu has a double meaning here.
Not only because the diamond falls again, but also the character would get a Deja Vu feeling in order to finish the level.
Great concept! I really like the effects when the character reaches the diamond!
It would be great if you wouldn't have to restart from scratch each time you missed the diamond...but that's only a minor suggestion.
Well done!
Thank you! When I was designing the effect, I kept thinking this must let player feel rewarded.
And yes, after the jam ends, I would revise the system so that the portals won't be reset.
amazing game!!
the lack of player control is a nice twist.
Thank you for playing!
Glad you like the idea!
I really liked the polished and clean UI, as always big + for having volume slider (it's like 2 minut job - why so few games have it).
Overall idea is nice, every single puzzle needs some time to be solved... and yes! this may be a solid mobile game. Good job.
Glad you like it, you're so right at the volume slider haha!
Thank you for playing!
I liked the main menu, your smooth transitions are lovely. I'm glad you took the time. I also liked that you gave me the opportunity to choose the sound volume level. This is not in all projects. For example, I do not have this :)
In the preview I was expecting a puzzle where I have to jump through holes. But I was surprised, I enjoyed this gameplay. So, the game design gets 5/5!
I went through several levels, but did not reach the end because was busy. I hope to finish the game next time. This game is worthy of release on android (and it has the right to be paid!).
I really liked it!
Great thanks for your detailed review!
The sound volume is truly insignificant but matters. And yes, the menu transitions did take me some time.
This game definitely will go on Android, since all inputs are touchable.
It's pity that I couldn't make the WebGL version mobile friendly. :(
Thanks for your comment again, I'm so flattered!
I really like the portal mechanics. This multiple portal puzzle implementation was a very good game design idea. The music is also very pleasant.
Nice work!
Thanks for your appreciation!
I was trying to make a really common mechanic a little different. :)
Very nice simple mechanics with great simple visuals and a soothing audio, had a fun time playing this one, good job! The sound slider and the nice menu it's a pleasant bonus.
Glad you had a fun time with it!
Though the sound slider isn't hard to make, but I think it's crucial for every games!
Indeed ^^
Great game. The graphics worked really well and the levels are nicely designed.
Thank you for playing!
It's my first time making my own assets, so it's good to know it works fine.
Very nice game!! The audio was apt for the game !! Enjoyed the concept !! Great Job :D
Thank you for playing!
It really takes time to find a suitable audio for a game, but once you find it, you're fulfilled.
