I really like the use of limitation, really using your health as a tool.. the graphics, and feel of the game is pretty neat!.

The only downside i have, was starting right at the beginning of the tutorial, when i died.

But on the positive note of that, one of the best tutorials ive seen in a long time (and yes, better then mine!)

Developer

Thank you!

There was a checkpoint system, but it was primitive and because i had everything in one large scene it lagged the game, so i decided to scrap it and i forgot to add a better one, my bad!

Very nice puzzle, creative use of the limitation, super chill game. The only feedback I have is that checkpoints would've been nice (I got killed by a laser far into the game and was teleported back to the beginning). Other than that, super fun to play, good job!

Oh, also, the character is lovely and so is the cover image for the game

Developer

Thank you!

Yes, I'm well aware of the checkpoint issue, i forgot about it : (

I like a lot the minimalistic style and the mood of the game. Also the way you implemented the limitation with three of just one hearts as tools. Very original and solid for a weekend!

Very chill puzzle game that's just teeming with polish! The only feedback I have is some of the audio mixing can feel jarring (the elevator noise is quite loud, for example). Other than that, great stuff!!

Developer

Thank you!

Yeah, I'm aware about the audio issues, i also could of added a nice transition so the audio doesn't immediately start/end, but i felt really tired and decided to submit it as is. My bad.

An amazing and very relaxing game! Great use of limitation, the visuals and atmosphere of the game are very pleasant. The mechanics of hearts are very interesting and I enjoyed playing. An amazing job!

Developer

Thank you!

I wasn't satisfied with the visuals because it felt kinda bland and i didn't put that much effort into it, so I'm glad to hear it wasn't an issue!
