This is a great puzzle game, i love puzzle games and the mechanics of this one are pretty cool, well done guys <3
Thanks! :D
The tutorial was very informational and good amount of levels to work my way through. Crazy that there is so much. Love it!
Thank you for playing the game :)
Pretty simple but fun! I was surprised sometimes to not get softlocked, great level design.
We are really glad you had fun :)
I had a lot of fun with this one! I like how you introduced each mechanic with great use of the scaling too. The only thing I felt like it needed was a few more sounds like some subtle congratulatory tones when you collect an orb or win.
Awesome job though!
Yeaaah we will definitely add more sounds in the future :) Thanks for playing!
Fun puzzle game! The level design is great.
Thanks!
Great game ! It was really enjoyable ! I would like a star system so that we can get like 3 stars if we get the level done under x movements, 2 under y and so, that would be quite interesting ! Keep up the good work :)
Thanks for the feedback! We will definitely add this one!
The first levels really impressed me with their ability to be designed without soft-locking yourself, however, this amazement and faith in the design caused me to get wreckless... and I did end up soft-locking myself haha. A cute and difficult puzzler either way!
Yeah I wanted to make it not possible to soft-lock but it appears that I've missed some ways haha. Thanks for the review!
As a fellow level designer, I'll ping up the soft-lock I ran into incase you want to do a diagnosis! I think my flaw playing it was that I simply "removed the obstical" that was the far left piston and upon realising I needed it to reach the exit, and then broke everything trying to reach it again. Not even sure how I would fix this without re-working the entire puzzle as the pistons that need adjustment are already used as diffrent funtions unless you add puzzle peices speific to fixing this issue, which I imagine would count as cheating by the internal design book.!
This level is the most problematic one lmao. I think I see a way to change that though and even without cheating haha. I will definitely fix it!
Really love how well this game plays, feels very smooth! Couldn't get passed level 4 as the portal wasn't working but enjoyed it up to there.
You have to stand still on the portal and not only pass through so this may be the problem? Anyway, thanks for the review!
I've played a lot of games like this, where you keep moving until you hit a wall. But the scaling mechanic and the pistons add so much more depth to the puzzles. You had some very cleaver ideas! I was able to beat around half of the levels. Maybe it could be nice to be able to skip the levels if you are stuck, because I'm curious to see what the last few levels look like!
We are glad that you had fun! Adding the skip level button is a great idea, thanks for the feedback!
Challenging puzzler, with a really well implemented scaling mechanic that's core to the experience - love it! Some really clever stages in here :)
The music wasn't looping for me, but otherwise this played really well!
Really happy you think that way! There might be a music bug for not looping but I am pretty sure everything else works just fine so we will fix just that looping after the game jam :) Thank you for playing!
Pretty cool game, the puzzles were fun and inventive. I played it with my gf and we both really like them (she helped me solving a few)
I really miss having something to show you in which level you are, like in the level or in between, the music didn’t work for me but it did in a new game.
Overall good game!
Thank you for you kind words! Yeah, there might be a little bug with the music cuz it kinda got rushed at the end, but we'll fix that after the gamejam.. and perhaps make the pause menu show you your current level :) Glad you had fun!
This is a really fun puzzle game. well designed and executed!
Thank you kindly!
Fun puzzler and quite nice level of challenge and mechanics thaught piece py piece. Great job!
Thank you! Hope you had fun :)
This reminds me of the ice floor puzzles in Pokemon: Gold/Silver/Crystal/HeartGold/SoulSilver, except this one is a lot trickier. Great job on this game!
Thank you for your feedback! :)
That was a lot of fun! Definitely felt the portal vibes in the game's style :)
Haha I suppose you're right about the portal vibes :) Thank you for playing our game!
I absolutely love these styles of puzzles games
Thank you very kindly! :)
Ice cave from pokemon puzzles always break my brain but I had a good time with this one! Well done!
Very glad you had a good time :) Thank you lots!
Good puzzles! That’s pretty hard to accomplish, but I liked them
Thank you for checking in and trying our game!
This is very good.
Polished, smooth, and challenging. Very well done :)
Thank you for playing our game and the kind words! :)
I was promised puzzles that made me actually think, so I was curious. Played up until level 9 before needing to take a break. All in all, pretty neat entry and nice twists on the ice sliding puzzle genre! I think the puzzle design could be a little better though. In some of the earlier levels, I did not need to use all the pistons available, which felt odd. But my main gripe is that a decent amount of time I spent thinking "oh no, I forgot to do that thing while I was down there, now I have to set up again using a sequence of 10 moves" which got a little repetitive after a while. Having undo would help a lot here. Also, I felt some elements were added to the puzzles to make them harder instead of more interesting, which after playing and designing a good number of puzzles myself is something I don't like very much anymore. Still, you definitely got a good grasp of how to design interesting puzzles, so I'd like to see that developed a further!
Thank you for sharing allat' with us. Our Level Designer sometimes can be specific with a mindset "hard = more interesting" however I think he proved that right while designing these :) Thanks for checking in and playing our game, we really appreciate it!
I am sorry that puzzles kinda dissapointed you. I didn't have much time left to design them so there are some unintended routes and I may have a little bit underestimated difficulty lol. We will probably update this game in the future and maybe redesign levels. Thanks for the feedback!
