This is a great idea, and very well executed. The audio and visuals are great too. I just have one question, why does the direction of the bars matter? I noticed there was a flat end and round end of each, but I don't understand that decision.
In ay case, very well done and great game!
We are happy that you have liked the idea of the game and found the audio and visuals pleasing. We are making a note of all the feedback and the suggestions which will be implementing once we get a chance after the jam. Thank you for stopping by SweetAppleGames, we really appreciate it.
I really liked this- it’s a cool idea and the presentation is great.
I was surprised by the fact there was a right way around for the wires, and really missed the ability to just scroll the screen horizontally rather than having to jump a screen at the time using the buttons.
But 48 hours is not a long time, and I had fun, so :D
We are glad that you liked the idea and the presentation. We will be adding more to this game and all the feedback you awesome people are sending across is a gem. Thanks again, Thomas :)
The only thing I would criticize is the fact that there is no indication which of the connections I can click on to rotate them. I had all light bulbs lit except the last one because for me everything was connected properly (lighting up) that I was able to interact with. But overall, nice idea and hat fun clicking for the lights to turn on!
Thank you for your feedback, CroSnake. We will have the other things fixed and all the suggestions are noted to be worked upon. :)
I had to change computers to try this one, the resolution was too big on my laptop lol!
I liked the pretty glow style. I got confused initially why the first light was not turning on, until I figured out there's a direction to the connections! I think that could have been conveyed more clearly.
I would love to see more complex levels where you have to decide between multiple combinations, and actually find the right ones so you can complete the whole puzzle. Cool idea!
Thank you for checking out the game and dropping feedback. We are happy that you liked the glow effect in the game. We will be adding more complex levels and since we were fairly new and never uploaded any game here, we were not sure about the resolution. Thanks again for the feedback, Shapeshifting Rabbits.
Cool concept, took a moment to figure out where to click, but it's a fun puzzle game! Nice job!
We are happy that you liked the concept and found it fun to solve. Thank you for your comment. :)
Dude ur's game resolution lol , it's a webgl game , u dont have to make it 4k res, over all the game is fun and a cool concept noice job !
It's actually FHD resolution, but we did this for the first time and had no idea how it won't scale down in the browser. We are sorry for the issue you faced and also glad that you liked the concept. :)
Great idea, and I really love the presentation - the lighting effect that thumbnail are great!
Thanks, Gallsy. We are happy that you liked the visuals of the game. Thank you for stopping by.
Cool concept!
Thanks! :)
Fun idea, it looks very good! I wish there was a bit more puzzling in it, it felt a bit too straightforward, aside from the weirdness with pieces only working one way,
Thank you for your feedback, we will surely implement and fix the issues with the game. :)
Heyo!
I got every light except for the last one on the far right screen. Tried my darndest!
Just as a heads up to other players, if the game appears too big in your browser all you have to do is hit control (-) a few times to zoom out and get it to fit in the browser window. Easy peasy.
To the devs, I really like your presentation here! The minimalistic glow objects makes for a really sleek and appealing aesthetic. I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on allowing two orientations to connect the circuit (so it would be both the right angle and that same angle +180 degrees), so long as the lines are connected correctly. It wasn't a bother to me at all, but I bet it would help prevent potential frustration or misunderstanding in players.
All in all, great work!
Thank you for stopping by Jordan. We are happy that you liked the minimalist design approach for this game. We had some issues with the sprites aligning correctly which is why we have decided to keep the rotation work only one-way and not 180 because then it appeared as not connected. We were racing against the time to complete and submit this game as it is our first even jam participation, but the future updates should fix the resolution issue and many other suggestions and feedback we received from all the awesome devs. Thanks once again for your comment. :)
I had a feeling it was simply due to time, I totally get it! And wow this was your first jam?? Amazing work! I'd have never guessed.
Pretty satisfying and neat when it all lights up and glows. Deeperbeige raiseed some good points on the flaws though. A good game is there though.
We are happy that you have found the game satisfying when it lits up everything. Thank you for dropping a comment. :)
Good game and idea, but i have some problems with screen size. Anyway, this is a good work, keep it up!
Thanks, Shlapoosnick. We will have the screen size issue resolved once this is over. :)
Great concept idea, but flawed implementation:
Sorry if any of that sounds overly critical. It's meant constructively. I love the idea, hence taking the time to do a proper critique/feedback for it. It's really close to brilliant, just falls down a bit with the implementation. If it's your first jam, or you don't have much experience, be happy that you've made and released something at all. Also that it's good enough to warrant a huge comment from an instant fan. Congratulations!
There is our in-depth review :) and we are very happy that you have decided to invest your time into this.
This is our first ever game jam and we are only one month in with the Unity engine and you can see that we tried to utilize every minute we got before submitting the game, we were unsure of the extension on time though :)
We surely wanted it to lit every 180 rotation, but some sprites were the issue where they won't align and this happened in the first level and we were running out of time to fix that part, so we decided to keep it one-way-fit only
We will have some indication on which ones can be rotated and which are stationary
Initially, we had a plan on animated batteries (The idea was different back then) and some charge flowing through the completed circuit. We will have these things done when we get a chance
We will have a better transition between levels, we don't have any, at the moment
That "Switch toggle" sound was added like an hour before the submission, we wanted to have some soothing background music, but we were just running out of time
The reason we don't have the auto transition into the next level is that everything is connected and is one puzzle piece. We wanted the player to have a free choice of going back and forth and complete other levels. We wanted to have the battery discharging and adding more complexity to the puzzle which we will surely have in the next update
This is like our first ever game built for the browser and we had no time to make a change to the screen resolution, but all these feedback and suggestions will only make the game better as we update
Okay, the last one is supposed to lit as we wanted to keep the puzzle less frustrating, but the syncing between two computers missed the last minute update and it never went through
Yes, this is our first ever jam and the sole motive was to be able to upload it and participate in this jam and we are very pleased to have such an in-depth review and suggestions from you. Thanks again, Deeperbeige. We will try to notify you when we will update this game.
Fun concept and love the lighting effects that you used!
We are happy that you have liked the concept and the aesthetics of the game. Thank you for stopping by, Jeff.
that is quite clever idea for the game jam. i liked this some kind of physics lab exercises of connecting cables and stuff back in my uni days. it is not too challenging and quite relaxing. nice job!
Yes, Ana. As soon as the visuals were designed we immediately realized that it can be used to relax people and probably help them fall asleep. We are happy that you have liked the idea and have enjoyed the game. :)
Very fun puzzle game! Great work!
Thanks, Vortex Bros and we are glad you enjoyed the game.
This is a fun idea for a puzzle. A previous commenter mentioned seeing this as a mobile game, I thought of this almost as one of the puzzles you would find in a game like Resident Evil. Either way, as a puzzle it's solid, but there are some issues, which I think are probably jam limitations. For one, some indication of which wires I can interact with would be nice, as currently the only way to know is to just click every wire on screen randomly. Another issue is there's no way to know which is the correct orientation of a wire. Many times the wire seemed to fit, but I had to rotate it 180 degrees for it to be correct. If the orientation matters, there should probably be some indication of which way is meant to be "forward". Again, probably a jam limitation, The implementation is solid otherwise. Good job!
Yes, a jam limitation, there it is. All these would have been so different if we really had even an hour extra because we were so late on this and we had to redo certain things because of the syncing issues we faced. All the things you have mentioned were supposed to be in the game and we will make sure it is added once we are done with the Jam. Thank you for your suggestions and feedback, IsAnElegy.
I like the idea, but I also had some screen resolution issues and was confused at first! I'd love to have a mechanic that wasn't just clicking. But good idea!
We will surely have more things added as we are getting feedback and suggestions from you all. Thank you for stopping by.
Thats a really cool idea, I can imagine this as a mobile game you might play on an airplane or something, its pretty soothing, could potentially add some more mechanics that prevent the simplest solutions to being the right answer in every case
Yes, even we are thinking of taking this further with some soothing music and few more changes and turn it into an app that helps you sleep or pass some time without putting too much stress on solving the puzzle. Thank you for the feedback!
I have to agree with the other people, it was a bit tough to understand what to do, especially because you had to rotate the pieces by 180° sometimes even though they were connecting the two endpoints already.
Also, the canvas you used was too large for my screen ;-)
Otherwise an interesting mechanic!
Thank you Skyball for your feedback. We will make the changes :)
