Cool game! Level design, character design, and puzzles were nice and well executed. Gameplay is fun and the gravity mechanic is cool. Well done dude, be proud :)

I really loved the design of the lightbulb character super cute! As for the gameplay, it’s simple but effective. Some of the puzzle solutions don’t require too much thinking, but I understand it’s a jam and maybe there wasn’t enough time to build more complex levels. Still, they work really well for their purpose.

I especially liked the moment when I discovered I could freeze movable blocks in the air with the light mechanic but at that point, I also noticed a small issue: the block doesn’t keep its momentum when frozen, it just drops straight down on the Y axis. Something to maybe consider improving!

Other than that, very good game great job. Engaging and enjoyable from start to finish. It reminded me of what we tried to achieve with our submission, so feel free to give it a try and tell us what you think!!

Agree with previous posters: great levels+puzzles. Would love to see a longer version!

Nice level design!

Love the mechanic, wish it was longer, there is a big space to expand here! Good job!

This is some incredible level design, genuinely top-notch I wanted more! It is hard to find a flaw in this game aside from the fact that I wish there was more levels, I love the visual style and I was definitely really into the title screen. Incredibly charming. The main mechanic isn't the most unique I've seen, but the way it was executed in the levels is really what made this game shine. I love it a lot, great work!

Very interesting idea 💡
We had a similar concept, I like the buttons and gravity stop aspect of it, though movement can be a bit awkward at times, I sometimes get stuck on walls and inside blocks.
Overall, it's a neat short game! goood job!

Wow gameplay and level design was very fun. I enjoyed the game. There were small numbers of levels but that's okay, it was enough to enjoy the game.
