It took some getting used to but once I got going this was a really unique puzzle game. I think I managed to soft-lock myself off the top of the screen in room 4, though. Your instructions on the page helped a lot as I did not understand what the lights on the doors were supposed to represent until I went back and read that. It was quite satisfying completing the challenge of getting that door open once I had all the pieces, however! Great job with this game.

Thank you for ur feedback! When we first thought about the game levels, we actually designed two tutorial levels to guide players to understand the gameplay. However, there is not enough time before the deadline. We can only write a lot of text descriptions on the webpage. I am glad that these descriptions have helped you. Unclear game introduction is our current problem. Thank you !
It would be great if you added a tutorial. I really like the art and the concept. Nice work!
Looks, sounds and feels amazing- but, like a few others, I think I really needed a tutorial; and I’d love to see a video walkthrough because I didn’t make it passed the third door.
ok, I had to read the "how to play" like 5 times haha
otherwise, I really like the art and cotton atmosphere
Very nice art, but gameplay wise I get stuck on the very first room. I change the orb back and forth from blue to yellow not knowing what it does exactly. Not having a clear goal/clear understanding of the puzzle might be the underlying problem. Maybe update the itch page and add bit more informations (story, goal of the game, what's the main mechanic)?
I really loved the graphics and feel of the game! But I noticed that I am not smart enough to figure out the puzzle! But really well done!
