i gave 4 stars instead of 5 for ‘Artistic’ because there’s no sounds. otherwise this is one of the entries i enjoyed most.

The concept is really interesting, I think you did a great job with the visuals as it was easy to figure what was doing what (the impenetrable glass, the switches). Nice little easter egg in the beginning on the left.

Interesting concept, especially the combination of mouse and keyboard control. I liked that the character was controlled via keyboard and that the level was influenced with the mouse. Clever concept and I am sure, with this idea some cool puzzles would be possible. Also good idea of using the theme :).

How the way orb illuminated the platforms as well as how it lit up as it charged was great :)

I really like the way you handled the theme! The area around the orb that get's smaller is a great idea! And having to use your mouse and your keyboard at the same time too, very interesting brain skill. The orbs wall also great! You actually came with a good mechanic and went very deep with it, excellent job! Congrats!

Nice game, I just couldn't figure out if i got to the end of it.

The map itself is pretty linear (left to right), the only exception is the area after the first moving platform where you need to go down, there are two hot springs there. The way the game was when I submitted it I see no way to go back  (and reach the hot springs you might have missed) once you've made it past the orb wall. I will keep that in mind for later. When you reach all of the hot springs (and activate them) you should get a very quickly scribbled "You win!" image appear over the screen.

Neat idea.  I was a little confused as to what I needed to do with the mouse at first, but I figured it out.

Good game for a first entry. The orb’s mechanic was a nice idea!

i kinda bugged your game... hahahaha! pretty clever puzzles! i liked it!

I let godot handle the collisions and movement. All the times I tested that, the activated platforms always pushed me upwards, but I ques that's not always the case! The platforms pushing you upwards could be used as an interesting mechanic now that I think about it...

Hope you enjoy!
