Cool game! I thought the way you implemented the theme was really unique! The puzzles were great and the visuals complimented everything nicely. Great job!

Pitch BlackI really liked the game, easy to understand goal and mechanics that should allow you to make quite interesting puzzles. The levels (so far) also required some planning and where small enough that you could walk through the needed steps in your head without problems.
The only 2 problems I had are that it gets a bit annoying to constantly need to press a button to walk 1 tile, some way that I could leave it pressed and keep moving would be appreciated. The other problem was that it was too short (which, for a game jam is actually a good thing I guess). It ended exactly when I was getting into it :(

Incompetent godsI think this might be my favourite game in the jam. Such a simple idea, but soo well executed. Really well done! I love the visuals with the slight glow to the colours on top of a black void, the puzzles are fairly easy to understand but I can see them getting very challenging. The only thing I would say is if it has some more satisfying sound effects. I can see this making a really great mobile game. Also a nice touch was seeing the colour palette in the top right, gave you the opportunity to think through your steps. I like it a lot. maybe you could add some challenges in the future? For example complete the level in 15 steps etc.

Space Gladiator (72 Hours)Absolytely loved it, its like helltaker, but without anime waifus :D
not so many puzzle games here so there is a bonus points for that.
The only point i have with this game is that black box could aswell be a powerup and failure is only "cosmetic" as its required.
Pretty esthetics, and sound and music fits well,
Feel free to roast my game aswell :D

WinTheLifeNot bad at all, although the gameplay suffers a little because of a few design setbacks 1) for most of the levels there isn't enough there to for there to be any challenge to the puzzle and 2) the player can't predict what color they'll be. This is ok for 2 other reasons 1) the theme means if you keep dying and restarting to learn your color pattern that's ok, BUT it seems like your focus on the theme is intentionally dying by the black squares, not dying to learn your color pattern, and 2) tricky level design like you have in the last level could account for that because the player can reasonably guess the path and strategize. But this is still kind of an issue because ultimately it comes down to guesswork rather than thinking through it logically. I hope this makes sense, I wanted to give more thorough criticism for this game because I really like the concept, it's better than many on this jam.

Veromir: Post MortemThanks a lot for your really good suggestions. One thing in the beginning, i think you oversaw the colorpalette with an arrow on the top right, which tells you the colors in their order.
You are right, the levels are mostly verry easy, which is a thing i wanted to make better in the jam also. It was my first puzzle game and i didnt really know the concept and the best conditions to make such a game. That leaded me later struggling a bit with bringing up new level ideas, which are actually harder to get for the player. That also is why there are only five levels, which indeed wasnt a problem for me, because i wanted to make an short and enjoyable game, which does not take to long and does not bore the player to much with long story, complicated controlls or even hard to understand rules, with which it would probably have been easier to make harder levels.
Ah, I see, sorry for missing that!
I really think you should continue this project, make quite a lot more levels and maybe bump of the visuals, and it could be a really good small steam release. I think if it's your first puzzle game, you've done a lot and are on the right track. Better than what I could've done lol!
Love the music. Levels are really well designed, good looking and the theme is well implemented. I'd change one thing about the checkpoints, you can't see which one is currently active.

I Return StrongerA good game!
But the sounds and music are a little bit quiet. I needed to more that double my volume to hear it.
(When i normally do that everybody at my home would know that and i probably wouldn't hear anything for a few days)

Shapes of deathThe idea is simple, original and clean. The increasing difficulty of the puzzles makes this fun XD. I think you could have chosen another music though...something more...colorful :D! Check out my game if you can ;)

My Little FishesThe level design for this game was fantastic. I'm surprised you were able to make so many entertaining puzzles with such a simple mechanic. Good job!

-THE MACHINE-Dang, I feel like it ended just as I was getting into it. Simple and fun. Great game!
Submitted
A Mechanical LifeGreat game! It sounds and looks really good! The only problems that I have with it are that you can't use the arrow keys to move and when you press 'R', it takes a long time to restart the level. Overall great game!

DiamondrunLove the puzzle mechanic. Simple concept that made for some fun levels, I really enjoyed it. I think if you made the respawn speed a little faster it might improve the user experience a bit, but that's just me :) Great job!
Submitted
Chroma ClimbSimple and awesome concept. If i quibble I would say the failure is not so visible (but in my game neither). Though It was fun to play. Great submission.
Submitted
Tale of Dead and re-DeadLike the concept with the color coding :)!
And very simple visuals and design, but it works well and fits the challenge.
Fun to solve the puzzles!
Nice work!
