Fun and well made game
Thank you for playing!
designed beautifully, I really enjoyed solving the last puzzle
Thanks a lot! We really wanted it to put everything you'd learned to the test, I'm glad you appreciated it.
This was a great entry, the art was good, it has a really chill vibe. The only complaint was the pace of the game, for long stretches it was a little tedious but this was very seldom the case (super nitpicky). You should be proud of this one!
We are quite proud, thank you! If we get around to doing more work on the game, the pacing is definitely something that will be addressed. Appreciated you playing this on stream!
Very polished, great presentation. It could be slow at times, when waiting for your character to catch up, but that's a small thing. Good job!
We had a few ideas to alleviate some of the waiting, but didn't really have the time. Thank you for the feedback!
Fun game, I got stuck near the end (? idk if its the end)
Thought we'd end it on something a little tricky, thanks for playing!
I really liked it. You deserve more eyes
Really appreciate it, thanks a lot!
Great concept, fun puzzle game! I feel like allowing the level to continue and giving the player a reset to checkpoint button could be a good idea, since it could test some reflexes and/or managing to barely solve a problem! Goodjob nonetheless, one of my favorite entries!
Thank you! This is something we considered, but keeping the obstacles and traps synced to be the same on each attempt was more of a priority given amount of time we had. If we ever go back to the idea I'd love to do something like this.
It's awesome, but waiting for it to run towards the end of the level is a bit boring. It would be better to add an acceleration button.
Thank you! An acceleration button definitely would have been a great addition, can't believe we didn't think of that!
Amazing game! Super fun to solve how to guide the player with the limited number of commands you have. And the overall mechanic is really intuitive and satisfying. Was really fun to figure out the last segment. (Also the music is great!)
Making use of the limited colours and commands was something we focussed on a lot, especially with the challenge at the end. I'm really glad you appreciated it, thank you!
So simple and yet so complex. Absolutely love this, y'all should definitely keep going with it and put it on steam. Would definitely pay money for more levels :D
That's incredibly kind of you. I'd love to come back to this concept at some point to flesh out a few more ideas we had, so you never know!
Oh hell yeah, this is a super cool idea! Graphics and Audio were awesome, and love the idea of putting logic together
Thanks a lot! We're really happy with how it all ended up coming together.
I love this game, music and graphics are very charming!
Glad to hear you liked it, thank you for playing!
Loved it! I could not leave before finishing it completely, which took me 11min.
That's great to hear! Thank you for playing
Really nice! Amazing change in difficulty. Overall enjoyed it a bunch. Music fits well
I was worried that it might be a little too difficult near the end, developer tunnel vision maybe, but I'm glad you liked it! Thank you for playing
Well I will say I found it difficult (took 30 minutes to complete) but it was well worth it!
Wow. This one got me hooked. :)
Must be a sign of a good game then ;)
Thank you for playing our game!
Overall great and unique game!
Thank you so much!
Love it, nice puzzle game. The last one took me a bit longer, but still got it in the end.
Glad to hear you had a challenge, exactly what we'd hoped for!
I love it! it took me a while to figure out that you could move the camera though....
I think that part of the tutorial was pretty easy to quickly gloss over. We did add in a couple of ways to control the camera to alleviate this but I suppose these things happen. Thank you for playing!
