Really wanted to play this because I relly liked the graphics of this one! It was a neat little plattformer though I don't feel like the puzzles were particulary hard. It was mostly just push the closest box to the closest platform or activate the closest lever or something, so I definitely think you could improve upon that. Other than that I really liked it and think the visuals and audio really nicely convey what to avoid and where to go, so the game is quite easy to understand

Thank you so much! I took it as a chance to improve my level design skills, but mechanics actually took a lot of time :D I will surely iterate on it! ;)

Nice game. I especially like your style of graphic, animations and sound. I found one bug. Sometimes when you die and respawn some of the levers and other actions become unresponsive and you cannot finish the level. Here an example so that you can reproduce and fix it:

  1. Go to level 2 (Laboratory)
  2. Active the first lever
  3. Activate the second lever
  4. Then jump into a laser, die and respawn
  5. Then activate the second lever again
  6. Then activate the second lever again -> The third laser will not disappear anymore and you are blocked.

Thank you so much! I am starting to fix this issue! ;)

Got stuck at the second level when you have to spawn boxes

On level 2 you can spawn infinite blocks causing a soft lock, it's accualy pretty funny. Other than that pretty great.

Played this on stream. Check out the vod here for my thoughts. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1004089613?t=00h41m28s

Thank you so much for your thorough feedback - it was fair and I admire it a lot! <3 Thank you for pointing out design mistakes! I did hide secrets only after one specific wall tile and it is used only for this purpose, but it wasn't probably distinguishable enough :D There was a bug with switch you encountered in the last level and yeah, that jump you made from a hidden wall was intended and only way up - so I agree it's another level design mistakes. And yeah, boxes stacking is also a bug I tried to solve :D Thank you for reviewing the puzzles design - they are really simple and straight-forward, I agree. I am learning to make more fun puzzles, yet for this jam I barely made all the mechanics and used them in few simple levels :D

Fun little platformer - like others mentioned, I encountered a few bugs. 

At the start of level 2, the second switch wouldn't change the direction of the mirror. I restarted the level and it worked fine. 
Also on level two, the box spawner got stuck in a loop of spawning boxes after one of them landed on the button. Couldn't get it to stop without having to stand on it myself, spawning more boxes. 

Good entry though

Thank you so much for your feedback! I am working on fixes and they will be added after the voting period ;)

I’m not using WebMonetization.

I think, I encountered some bugs. Namely, some level became instadead, because I got stuck in a laser. Othertimes, I created a constant stream of boxes, so I couldn’t move past.

With some polish, this might be more fun to play.

Hi!
Thank you for checking it out! I was wondering if I should instantly unlock everything for everyone for testing period or leave it with WM for judges to see that it really works :D Thank you so much for your bug reports! :)

An interesting game, I especially enjoyed stumbling on hidden passages with secret nuts.

There were some minor issues: sometimes I would deactivate a button by standing near a box on top of it, and the only way back would be to die. Also, if I died too often, spikes would multiply (instead of one spike coming out of the floor, there'd be a dozen coming one after another).

Thank you! I will be working on fixing bugs as soon as I get to know them so thank you very much for giving a feedback! :)
