A little harder than it seems at first, though still pretty fun! Feels like a good old arcade game with a solid base, can't wait to see more levels for this

Developer

thank you!!

Really nice puzzle, though being able to zoom out a little would make it a bit better I feel ^^

Developer

thank you :)

Too frustrating not being able to see the entire level and actually plan moves in advance, then having to restart the entire level because you made a wrong move.  Really good puzzle designs though.

Submitted(+1)

I understand, but there is a kind of skill to planning your route in advance and remembering it, and then also having a sort of intuition for what kind of movements the designer might have intended.

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I wanted to make it a bit harder:)

Developer

yeah! Something that I should have maybe implemented but wanted to make it harder this way! A good thing would be a rewind button to go back step by step! Thanks :)

This is a nice short game. One thing I would suggest is zooming the camera out more while you are going so you could see more of the level. However, overall I liked the style, and it had a unique way to fit the theme!

Developer

thanks:)

I really liked the game. I love how simple the art is but the neon is really effective. 

Developer

thank you!

I like it a lot! I made something pretty similar a couple of years ago:

Love the polish you've achieved in the limited time of the jam. I know the glow does a lot of the work, but it's super consistent and looks lovely. Plays well too! I finished the final level and got the WIN screen, most people don't really bother with them in a games jam.

I was about to say it's a shame there aren't more levels, but actually I think you've got just the right amount, given they're all pretty tricky. Remember, you work on your game for a long time. You're likely the best at it in the world when you release it. With more time you could work on the initial difficulty curve to help players get onboard.

Missing features you could add in any update:

  1. Zoom out when the level gets bigger. Probably automatically when you get to a certain size, but there should be a control so the player can manually see an overview. I found myself having to remember the sequence that worked when I made a mistake...
  2. ...An undo would be lovely! Especially if it rewound time in a beautiful way. You could have the reversed sounds while it's rewinding time, reverse the music etc.

Overall, well done!

Thank you for the review :) I had not enough time to make more levels in the end but thought its more important to polish the game. I guess most people will not play it for too long!
Glad you've enjoyed it! :)
The additions are good one and i thought of them as well! but the time was limited. (Not for the zoom actually, but i thought its better not to give the option so that is a bit harder. But from what i hear i would have been better :D)

It's very enjoyable but had to make a map on paper to know how to navigate the bigger levels.
it would really help to be able to zoom in and out and view more in the bigger level

Developer

Thank you ! And its nice to hear that someone actually invested the time to make a map on paper while playing it! :D But your right, would be a good addition for the game!

Very enjoyable game and quite relaxing! A zoom feature would really help in the bigger levels

Just amazing im kinda sad that there is only few levels

Developer(+1)

Thank you! i m glad you enjoy it! Wanted to make more but polishing and debugging took longer than i thought :)

Submitted(+1)

Really cool game! Nice twist on these sort of sliding puzzles :D Only thing is that a zoom out button (even one with a resource or something) would have been welcome in later levels :D

Developer

Thank you! Yeah would have been a nice addition maybe :)

Submitted(+1)

Really cool game. I liked the art and music. I think it would be good if there was a way to zoom out, but other than that well done.

Developer

Thank you! yeah i was not sure if i should add i because it would make it easier. So i decided to have the zoom out in the beginning! But you're maybe right :D
