Thanks for playing, really glad you enjoyed it. I think you can update and resubmit your rating anytime up until the deadline ;) Hope you get time to have another try, I'd love for you to see the end cutscene... it's the first time I've made anything like that.
hi! i saw your comment and tried to beat the game one again as you suggested, with this promised ending, and i’m glad i did!
the first time i’ve played this game, i thought it as a puzzle, but now that i’ve beaten it, i see it’s more about timing and precision. this mindset change allowed me to win, but with lot of determination, as this last run took me nearly an hour with half my deaths from the last level. congrats! your game is the first one in the jam (and probably will be the only one) to make me rage 🤗.
but when i beated the last level, i got a lot of satisfaction, specially with that final cutscene ^^ i enjoyed the game a lot and i think it’s definitely going to be one of the jam’s winners 🙂
(PS. I also noticed how well the sound design is compared to other games in the jam. i didn’t notice it because i had the game on mute until the last level when i realised the lasers were actually in sync with the background sound, and help me go through it better. awesome work!)

Hey, I'm delighted you found the time and determination to give it another go, and thrilled you spent so long playing! It's really great to hear.
Thank you so much for your feedback!!
I put the agent where the red square is, then i pushed the wall (where the purple square is) toward us, in the point of view of this photo (so i pushed from behind). After that, the agent was permanently "transparent-blue" (like when u collect something) and couldnt move anymore
I might be mistaken maybe i didnt fully understand what happenned
Will certainly try again it was quite fun

Aha yes! Thank you so much for taking the time to so clearly describe & illustrate what happened. I can see exactly what is going on.
1. When T.W.R is hit by a purple block, it gets deactivate (so the physics doesn't fight with the ai navigation) and the T.W.R gets pushed off the platform to their death.
2. In a previous iteration of the game "the bridge" (floor tile between you and the red square in your screenshot) would turn off once you crossed, and only turn back on once you'd collected all 4 orbs. Therefore there was always a gap around the platform during the round that the player could get pushed off of and fall to their death.... the T.W.R would be destroyed, the level rest, and then the player was reactivated.
3. Due to a bug where "the bridge" tile would occasionally not turn back on, leaving the newly respawned T.W.R stranded, i decided the simplest solution was to prevent it from turning off in the first place......
4. What i didn't foresee was the scenario that you discovered below, whereby the player pushes that purple block, which hits T.W.R, deactivates it, but never falls of the platform to get reset... hence why it remains disabled and you find yourself alive but unable to move.
Thanks again for pointing this out. Once the jam is over, I'll be sure to make it the first thing I fix!
Hey, yes I just watched back your live steam, and loved watching you play, learn patterns and react. I take your point about the floor tiles disappearing. Originally I intended for you to be able to climb over the lower jenga blocks and use those to bypass any missing floor tiles and block horizontal lasers, but as the game evolved it was a feature that had to be dropped due to the time constraints… so I should probably have remove the disappearing floor tiles too until I go back and add new features in.
Thanks for taking the time to complete the game, and experience the whole thing.

Thanks a lot. The visual style is something I’m most happy about. A shame that the lighting isnt correct in the web version.
