So glad I found this entry
Fantastic Idea and very clever level design, loved it!
Really, one of the best I played, I finished it with a taste for more :)
Good job, and hope more people will see this little game .
Nice idea, but pretty difficult puzzles. I was struggling with the one pictured in your screenshots, but I solved it. Only to realize now that you were giving away the solution in the screenshots. I made it to the level with the controls in the square in the middle of the level.
Being able to restart with R would be nice as well as reverting (undoing) with Z. Some indication of which portals are connected to which would also be useful. I'm not sure if they were bugged in the last level I played or that they were intended to work the way they did. It was just contradicting how they worked in the levels before it.
I loved the game. One clear idea with interesting puzzles and great minimalist visuals. Really great. It looks and feels so nice.
A very very good simple puzzle game! An awesome monochrome aesthetic! Those puzzles were difficult but so satisfying to solve! The placement of the pressure plates made me realize which keys were eligible to be sacrificed, so I had to build a mental path using only the directions I'd have left! Let met tell you when I first solved the puzzle with one pressure plate weight downed by the Up key (one of your screenshots) I was doing a little tiny celebration (soft little pounds on my desk and a "f yeah I got it")
This was so good. Great job!
I actually finished it! Nice to finish a puzzle game for once ;-)
I love how well this meshes with the theme. I like the look of the key caps and love how the duplicate ones already placed on the board get pressed when you use that direction. I like the night theme and the greyscale palette – I think the music goes well with it. Overall, feels very unique.
The puzzles are pretty challenging, and usually you can’t just mash your way through them. You can waggle around and make a little progress, but usually you do some thinking to solve them. Also does a great job slowly revealing the puzzle elements (keys, dupes, teleporters) to ensure you understand them before you have trouble working with them. But it does this tutorialization without getting boring.
Great work.
Loved it, this game really reveals habits since the solution usually comes about when I decide to just lose some other key first and do something different.
Just brilliant in every way, LOVED playing this! Only issue I had was the resolution, the verticality of the game made the bottom of it get cropped out on my 16:9 monitor, but it was still very much playable! First perfect score I've handed out, well done!
This game is great! The movement, art and music are all just perfect and compliment each other so well. The SFX creates amazing feedback and increases the immersion. The idea is so clever, yet so simple as to understand. Every level was challenging and enjoyable. I had a blast playing through it!
Nicely put together. Definitely liked the level where you get the extra up key, it was real satisfying once I figured it out! Great polish too, only thing I'd change is the reset animation, it's a bit on the long side.
This is a phenominal take on the prompt. Very satisfying once you figure out the best way to solve the puzzles. Great job!
Good game with some nice puzzles. However, the art is a bit uninspired, and it can get very hard.
