The idea is good, I liked the way you taught players through level design itself, was hoping for 3-4 more levels to use my brain more but its fine since the time was limited

Great game, good physics!

Submitted

Very straight forward fun game! nice art, and the talking sound is AMAZINGGG. had fun with it, GJ! :)

Submitted

The idea is really cool, there are just a little bit of issues with the physics, for example I had the crate clip outside the level a couple of times, or if you stand on an object you're controlling and than raise your mouse you get lifted with the object but then it becomes unstable and starts rotating at crazy speed.  
For example, in the level with the crate and the barrel that need to be sqeezed into tiny apertures, I passed both objects without shrinking them, just by wiggling the mouse in the direction of the holes in the wall/platform.

Other than these physics issue it's a cool game

The art is cute, and the levels are well paced! I can see the inspiration from Portal in the mechanics and the story, but it does have its own charm!

Submitted

I really like your mechanics a lot! It's like if the gravity gun from half-life had the scaling abilities in Superliminal, but with very slick 2D graphics. I loved it!

Submitted

I really liked the game very much. It has a nice twist to the theme. the only thing I would change is the UI but all in all, Well Done!

Submitted

This is a nice game! I love the art style and it feels pretty well polished, although I was often able to bug out the objects to fly out of the map. Great job in 4 days though!

FYI: I feel like I didn't complete the last few levels the way they were intended since the lasers seem to disable without much effort - i'd just throw something randomly and i'd be able to finish the level.

The art style is Amazing but the Puzzles are a bit too difficult with less visual indication of what You're supposed to do

Submitted

Very nice take on the theme, the game felt cosy and chill which I enjoyed. Amazing job!

Submitted

I enjoyed the game! The puzzles where interesting and fun!

Submitted

Very fun little puzzle game. Enjoyed it, good job!

Submitted

Discount Superliminal.

I enjoyed the game ! It was quite fun with all the puzzles u need to solve and very clear. Good job :)

I really enjoyed the game! The music you used was perfect for the game. Everything I needed to do was clear from the start and I appreciate that. I had some problems with the objects, they kept spinning whenever I tried to grab them. I struggled to stay in my place after jumping (no friction) but I believe that it added a layer of challenge to the game xD. Good job in making this game in 4 days

Submitted

I really liked the atmosphere, the sounds, music, and intention behind the design. good entry

Submitted

Finished the game, enjoyed it. I saw the thought process put into level design and the progression was nice. You managed to cram a lot of features into the game given the timeline. Encountered a couple of bugs but no biggie (mostly items falling under the world). Reminded me about the great times I had with a portal gun!

Well done, and keep at it!

Submitted

Love the game everything bout it felt really nice would like if there was a way to skip text while he is speaking though it said press space to do that but it just didnt work for me apart from that it was very nice

Submitted

Really fun, the professor sounds like the one from luigis haunted mansion xD

Submitted

This is great! I think you got a real portal style tutorial in there, the game flows right through.
