Kinda got stuck but I assume there's a way to scale the box bigger if you can scale it smaller.

Developer(+1)

If you crouch before picking up the box, and then stand the box should get taller. Hope this helps

Submitted

Aha! Finally found out how to cross the gap! Just stand on the cube and pick it up. Jump and move while looking down at the cube to fly!
I didn't get what to do with the gears box tho.

Developer

You just walk towards the end of one of the tunnels, there's a teleporter that brings you back outside where you deliver the parts to the spaceship and complete the game

Hey, everyone. This was my first time writing music, so I'd love some extra feedback if you guys have some time and critiques for me. You can go leave them on the songs, or just reply to this comment. Thank you!

i love it. the first song sound like something of off F♯ A♯ ∞ by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. to me it would’ve been a obvious choice to do something really echo/reverby for when get inside, so the bass track really subverted my expectation. really “in your face”, almost feels a bit improvisational. very cool, very unique

Developer

Thank you! I'll have to check that band out.

Woah! You guys are inspiring me so much. this thing is really fun and enjoy! I kind da love a mechanic tbh! Nice work

Developer

Wow, thank you! We never expected to inspire anyone so we're incredibly happy to hear this! The mechanic was an unintended bug  completely on purpose :)

Hey good work y'all! I tried it in the browser first, and i guess ctrl+e is the shortcut for firefox to search something, so It didn't quite work, but then, I downloaded it, and was able to get through.

The block kept disappearing whenever I tried to make it big enough to use as a bridge over the spikes, so I opted for my own solution, wherein I grabbed the block, hopped on, and flew my way over all the puzzles.

This is, undoubtedly, not what you intended, but I am a type of player/person that derives joy from creatively solving problems in unintended and unexpected ways, so this was actually quite ideal for me!

Developer(+1)

That's actually awesome, I tried to do that but couldn't get it to work! But the box disappears after you grow it a certain number of times or if it gets phased through walls... Idk, it was a bug that we turned into a core gameplay mechanic... 

We're very glad you enjoyed it though, especially in a way we didn't intend ^.^

Developer(+1)

I should have made it clear why the block was resetting.  (I had a size limit on the block but didn't really mention it in game)

But hold up, you... you flew across the whole level?  Oh my

Submitted

Yeah, I used it like a flying surfboard, it was totally rad!

We definitely didn't almost call the cube the "Companion Cube" XD

Submitted(+2)

i feel isolated for sure, congrats!

Developer

Awesome, thanks!

Great 3d game! Very immersive. The low FOV really scares me...
Mechanics were very easy to understand.
Nice 3d models and level design.
The music was great. Also, it has a long playtime.

Developer(+1)

Submitted(+4)

Funny physics, overall pretty cool game !

Developer(+2)

LOL thank you!!

Developer

Our gameplay mechanics reminded me of portal!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+3)

Wow, that was a really cool game! It would be nice if you could respawn without losing progress on all the buttons. I thought the level design was really cool and the blue box was so unique. Also, LOVE the music. Nice work!

Developer(+3)

Yoooo thank you so much!! your game is sick too!

Developer(+2)

Thanks!
I did my best with the programming, but I agree that I could have tried to have checkpoints rather than completely reset the Temple scene.
Pirate did an excellent job at the music!  Really helps hit that isolation and alien planet vibe.
