We both came up with a similar theme interpretation! I really like your execution and presentation, it's a beautiful looking game and the simplicity of the controls is clever. The puzzles were pretty tricky! My favorite design element was how you showed the new colors to cover without changing the control dots until the player moved them, it was a nice way to delight the player with their own action.
Thank you! A lot of thought went into the color transitions so this means a lot :)
I'll check out your game!
I really liked the unique idea and the visuals. Music also fits nicely. It was a little hard to pick up at first but besides that great game!
Great game!
I love the concept of shadows, aesthetically pleasing too
Very unique puzzle solving, simplistic but engaging
This game is crazy creative! I loved every time the music changed, luckily even though it took a few minutes I was able to not get tired of the music before it progressed, and that was probably the best part! I got to the part where you get 2 pillars, im not sure how far it goes but i think this is one of the games I might have to come back to.
Thank you! You made the composer happy :)
A bit difficult. But a very cool idea. I eally liked it.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it :)
