I realy had fun playing. I liked the dark paths that need light and ones that don't want light, added interesting puzzle mecanics to the game.

I really enjoyed this one. Easy to follow mechanics and played really nicely. The implementation of collision based on being in range of the light is great.

A bit more audio feedback when lighting and picking up/dropping the orbs would have completed the experience but that's a nit pick. Nice work.

Really solid mechanic and fun puzzles. Would love to see expanded.

Awesome! When I was getting the hang of it the game ended unfortunately. In the end it suffers the same issues as my game ;) which is:

  • 1-2 levels more would be perfect
  • repetitive (albeit lovely in your case) music

Fun game design, the puzzles look well thought out as well!

Pros:

  • Simple, yet effective art. Reminds me a bit of Tron
  • Good BG music, soothing.
  • Intro level was nice to ease players into the puzzle aspect

Critiques:

  • It would have been nice to have some audio adjustments available.

Really nice puzzle game, it may be unfinished but you've done a pretty good job showcasing the mechanics in such few levels. Would be really cool to see this updated with more levels after the jam.

This was great entry!  Better a delicious appetizer than a crummy buffet.  Super happy for the controller support and the brick fade out effect was excellent.

Great idea for this game for this theme! I loved the puzzle design! Wish there was more content, and also some sound effects would've made this amazing.

Fun and interesting puzzle game. Loved the fact that some paths get blocked with light and others open up. Wished there were more levels, which is always a good sign.

Very fun game with great idea! After finishing it left me vishing there were more. Great job!

Very original, I loved the concept. More levels would have been nice for a longer experience. Good choice for overall colors and the soft music.

I had a really fun time working out the answers to these puzzles and would love to see more added in the future! I got stuck on a few of the rooms but once I saw the solution felt silly for taking so long. For me that moment of discovery is what makes a puzzle game fun, good job balancing challenge!

Really cool! I would love more puzzles for sure :) I think color-coding the tiles that disappear or appear with light could be cool ;)

Really fun idea. The idea of the light blocking paths as well as creating them didn't come to mind until I went to go back the way I came and found it blocked. Gave me a real ohhhh moment. Loved the idea and the tutorial part made what's going on clear. (even if I didn't internalize my path being blocked haha) Like the colours you used and I like your little guy you play as. Would love to see more mechanics with the light and more levels.
