Very creative concept and the art is amzing! Well done!

Submitted

Really enjoyed this idea! It's neat how you have to move around where you can see.

Submitted

pico-8 hype! loved the little attention to detail with the UI!

Submitted

Fun game! The concept is also very great. The art style and the music also fits really well. The only problem i have is that it's hard to pick up items and i think there's an area where the game gets laggy if you "shine" the room

Submitted

Really great art style, and just fixing the collision hitbox regarding the head and you are good to go!

Submitted

Great game. I love your music and art) But game after few minutes confusing. It's hard to enter the small passages. I was scared to go there headless.

Submitted

I like this idea. There are two technical problems that really frustrated me though, namely the hit test for pickup felt very fiddly, and not knowing exactly where you’re going to put the object down.

That aside the overall idea is solid, your style is cool, and the music is catchy (if short).

I like the style! It was a bit hard to figure out at first, I think the fog of war was more of a hindrance than an interesting gameplay element. Maybe it should be introduced only later, once the player is familiar with the mechanics.

Submitted

Awesome game! The charcter's collision was a bit difficult to work with in tight spaces and picking up the things is a bit hard. But the game is aaaaaaaawesome. 9/10 would buy a full game release :D

Submitted

Wonderful wonderful game! What a joy to play! the collision between the head and the body got a little hard to work with at times, but mostly, a really great experience!

Submitted

Its really hard and fun at the same time. The theme is also utilized very gracefully.

Submitted

I really like this game! My main gripe is how hard it is to pick up the items. The puzzles, the map, the art style are all really well done and quite charming.

Submitted

There's so much I love about this game.  The concept introduces such a great set of constraints for a puzzle game.  The theme is utilized in multiple ways (head and body connection, connecting the wires with the buttons, etc.).  The art and music make the game feel complete.  But most of all I love the element of exploration.  This is the first game I've rated where you have an actual space with multiple rooms/screens to explore and interact with, as opposed to having individual levels. Incredibly well done, 5/5.

really noice

Really love the puzzle ideas and the way the world is setup, where you have to bring things to different screen. Although it was quite hard to pick things up. Otherwise, the music and sound effects where great!

Submitted

Cool puzzle game, nice mechanic and the art is super cute as well! I agree with what was said below tho, it could be a little easier to pick things up.

Submitted

Cool take on theme, I had some trouble picking stuff up though? I didn't let it ruin my experience too much though its still a fun game!

Submitted (1 edit)

Very nice mechanic, but it is really difficult to pick up stuff and move through tight spaces like the others said. If that would be adressed it would be even better!

I love the style of the game, it's very pretty. It took me awhile to get the mechanics of the game but i got a hang of it. I like that there was a small fire that could direct you where you were in the dark and if you could pick up the golden boxes. I had a hard time picking up the head and golden boxes but other than that it is a pretty good game!

Gotta love pico-8 games! Picking up boxes and collisions were a bit finicky, but was still a fun puzzler. The little visual tells when you're in the dark was a cool touch!
