When I first loaded in I thought “Oh a World’s Hardest Game clone, I loved that game.” Then I got a few levels in and saw the light change mechanic. Very cool idea!

I did have to stop very early into the game. The need to quickly flash from black to white started giving me a headache. But what I got to play was well done, good music and the movement felt really nice.

Having the ability to use mouse to control the player would be nice. Overall pretty cool game.

Ended up getting 100 deaths before level 6, game was frustrating but the good frustrating that made me want to retry the levels over and over again!

Really nice puzzle game, especially from level 5 ! Loved that and quite addictive !

Very impressive. I think I have to call it quits, though…

Cool and challenging puzzle game!
The switching between black and white fits the theme perfectly.
I fell in love with the minimalistic look of the game. Congrats!

Cheers!

This was quite difficult for me but I enjoyed my time with it. I like the clean visual style too.

Fun game - Kinda reminds me of the old flash game "Shift"

Pros:

  • Good use of the light and dark aspects
  • LOVED that SFX volume adjust played a noise to let you know relative how loud it was 
  • Puzzles seemed well thought out
  • Movement reminds me of old games requiring you to "get good". 

Critiques:

  • Main Critique is in Accessibility - Am streaming the playthroughs, and there is no warning about the black/white flashing nature of the game, could cause issues for people sensitive to epilepsy. Had to stop after a few levels because of this, but will play again on my own.
  • Would be nice to have ability to adjust volume once in the game in the pause menu.

Thanks so much for the detailed review!

I added a warning about the flashing colors to the top of the details just now, sorry for any issues it caused you.

That's great! I updated the Accessibility Rating for that. Didn't cause me an issue directly, but I am just looking out for others. Loved the game though!

Very solid game, it's quite challenging though and I was there was a practice system to help with multiple sectioned levels like level 10. Good job on the overall aesthetic, audio and gameplay though.

Difficult but I enjoyed it
