I like the nice clean aesthetics and innovation, although it might help to have some kind of texture (like a grid) to help a bit in calculating the ray bounce.

Developer

Yeah I would also like to add some kind of texture, add it with the next update :)

Submitted

I love the simple yet beautiful graphics of the game! I like the challenging puzzles of this game too.

Developer

Thank you :D

Submitted

Once I saw the hint about level 2 this game really clicked, until I got to the third level.  These puzzles are hard.  But they really lead to an ahhhhh, kinda moment once you solve them.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out, and i'm glad the hint helped ^^

I loved the controls and the Idea behind the game , as someone  who dose not play first person games  when started the game I was WAIT first person !! but i liked it , good job .

Developer

thanks, and it was the first time i made a first person game so i'm very happy with the result :)

Submitted

I liked how as you hit the crystals you got more bounces. 

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! :)

Submitted

I had fun playing this little puzzle game! There's definitely a lot of expandability in terms of other puzzles for the reflection mechanic. Cool submission! I had a lot of fun playing it

Developer

Glad to hear, thanks for testing :)

Submitted

the games was fun and i like your take on the theme . overall great game

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

The game was really good. I really liked it. However you should lower the sensitivity or at least give an option to reduce it. Apart from that, it was an awesome game. The controls felt good and the concept and mechanics were really good.

Could you please take the time to rate my game too? Its not as good as yours but it would mean a lot to me if you rated it.

Developer

Thanks, yes I should definitely have added a small options menu :)

Submitted

Could you please rate my game too?

Submitted

Super original gameplay and use of the theme! Great level design too.

Sadly, I got stuck in level 2. The projectile didn't want to bounce on the wall, so I was unable to progress at all. I don't know it's a bug or if I missed something. :s

Loved everything I played though! Congrats!!!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked it! It's not a bug, you have to check the outer walls first ;)

This game looks amazing and the main mechanic is very interesting and fun. I've never seen anything like it before. Well done :D
I also really like the way you explained the controls within the first level. It feels very natural and clean. I'm probably going to do something similar for my next jam.
I found the last level a bit frustrating though, but the level with the big cube in the center was really cool.

Submitted

art, visual are aswm man this is aswm!!!

bouncing around the level is soo cool man or women!!!!

Developer

Thanks for playing the game! :D

Submitted

I love games with artstyle similiar to your's so it immediately caught my attention. So... great visuals, good music.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! :)

Submitted

It feels nice to throw the shard and make it bounce around the level! Not sure if it's just me, but I experienced severe framedrops when looking in certain directions.

Developer

That's strange, although this is my first ever released game with unity hdrp, so performance might not be perfect, in hindsight, maybe a stupid choice but one gotta try ^^ Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Ngl this game is fun, but imo when the shard is completely rewound it should just return to the player. Having to pick it back up is rather annoying

Developer(+1)

That is a good point, thanks for the feedback! :D

Submitted

Btw please continue it, i had a lot of fun playing it. I would LOVE to see this game get to a full release

Developer(+1)

And I had a lot of fun making it so if people want me to continue the development i most likely will :D

Submitted

The graphs and the choice of colors were great! The music kinda futuristc create a cool ambience too. The only point is that I had a bug during the gameplay where my character after a jump started to fly all over the map.

Great job!

Developer(+1)

Hmm, yes i don't think that is supposed to happen ^^ Thanks :)

Submitted

Hope you continue to create games~

If you have time, pass by in our game too! Have a nice day

Awesome puzzle game and very well polished! I haven't beaten it yet but I will ;)

Developer(+1)

Thanks, hope you get to the end! ;)

Really liked the mood and the graphics, the game feels super eerie and magical. The main mechanic is quite unique and well executed. Sadly I cannot get past level two (I need at least one bounce to hit any shard inside the glass box).

Submitted(+1)

I thought so too at first but there was something behind me

Developer

Super happy I got the mood right, Bodgins has a good tip on level 2 :)

Submitted(+1)

Hey, really nice concept, and well implemented. It looks sleek, and the puzzles seem to have the potential of being quite interesting. Good job!

Developer

Thank you very much :)

First of all, graphics are awesome. Overall I really enjoyed the game.  Only thing, in second level the prism doesn't bounce of the ramp, in your screenshot it is fine so probably I am just doing something wrong.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the game ^^

Try take a look around, there is something you must do before using the ramps :)
