Great concept, good execution. Please number rooms and give us a way to pull particles, otherwise they get stuck next to the wall.
Pulling particles would ruin many of the puzzles. If you get a particle stuck to the wall and can't progress you can either undo or reset to the last checkpoint. All the checkpoints are placed in places you can't softlock yourself.
I love the level design it felt really unique c: I think about level 4 I kept spawning inside of the ball deposit area and couldn't leave so I didn't get further than that. But the game was still fun :)
Can you list the steps to achieve that softlock?
I played again to get you that list but it doesn't seem to be happening this time, so I progressed further, I did get stuck of course but R reset everything without a problem, sorry I don't know what happened
Movement felt great! I thought I knew the rules after completing the first two rooms, but the I got confused with the green room
You can combine molecules by pushing them against one another.
unfortunately i got soft locked in the 3rd room so there wasnt much to do. i love the concept, puzzle games are my favorite thing. I hope you can keep working on it, maybe add some music and sound effects and prevent players from soft locking. the undo button didn't work for me sadly
did you also try the reset button or the menu button? were you playing on mobile, or do you have a keyboard that isnt qwerty?
I was playing on pc and I do have a qwertz keyboard but tried y as well. After I pressed the restart button and got back to the room, I was locked in that same spot again even though I didn't move there this time, it just teleported me to it and I was stuck again
sounds like an issue with the game engine we used, sorry about your experience with our game
Nice and snappy sokoban type game, very cool!
Really creative, enjoyed the level design very much
