In what way does your game fit the theme?
Puzzle solving with various mechanics one of which is a rewind mechanic. And it’s controlled by pressing the right mouse click :D
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, credits are displayed for some sounds and icons.

This is a really neat puzzle game with a really great visual style and some cool mechanics. My only problem is that the tutorial hits you with a lot of information that can be a bit confusing to take in. But otherwise, great job!
Thank you so much for this feedback! I will look into making a proper tutorial with the new upcoming story mode.
Really love the visual style! Player movement was a little confusing until I realized I could just click where I wanted the ball to go rather than guide it there, the pathfinding is actually really good. Can't think of anything I'd change, just would like to play more of the game!
Glad to here you enjoyed the experience! Stay tuned I will be releasing a "Story mode" regarding the backstory of the "Red ball" and the "Green ball" and the whole cubic world :D
The idea for the game was really cool and quite original however the ball's movement was not very intuative and I didn't really notice the theme being incorpirated into the game. There was also a problem with level 3 where I won the level but then it said I ran out of time after it told me I had won. Nonetheless, the game was very fun and I hope you continue working on it!
Thanks for this awesome feedback!, regarding the theme implementation, I designed a rewind controller to controller the "purple'" colored objects and make them redo their actions to your advantage. Regarding the strange bug in stage 3, that's a really rare bug, came across it while play testing only couple of times. Hope the experience was worth your time :D.
Good little puzzle game!
Thank you glad you liked it :D
Really enjoy the puzzles and adore how the ball just find its path to the destination ! Would want some color changes and full screen for 4k other than that i have no complaints the game is fantastic !
Thank you for the feedback! would consider it :D
amazing visuals and creative puzzles well done.
Thank you! :D
This was fun!
Thank you! glad you liked it :D
Really cool puzzle! You've got a couple bugs in there but regardless it's really cool.
Thank you glad you liked it !:D
Really nice puzzle game. It is very fun to play, hard, but fun. Good work! :)
Thank you for much for the feedback! glad you had fun :D
Let me just say, I love the visuals on this and puzzles themselves are pretty interesting, but I got some issues where the blocks overlapped and I couldn't move them like i wanted to.
Thank you for your feedback! overlapping blocks is an intentional mechanic since you can it to solve the puzzles, but I agree with you sometimes it's hard to get them off each other "you just have to kinda mash the movements until they separate".
Really nice puzzle, enjoyed playing! The bug with block going through the walls confused me at first, but everything else is good
Thank you glad you enjoyed it!
The wall of text style tutorial never really works for me. I forgot pretty much everything by the end of the first level. Also, the block movement is really buggy and sometimes they move through walls. The rewind mechanic was super confusing and I wasn't able to understand it, but the first few puzzles were pretty fun!
I agree with you a proper tutorial level important, blocks getting through walls only occurs when you spam inputs near a corner, and if it occurs to you, there is a reset button to reset the blocks positions without loosing progress!
Fun puzzle! Every puzzle was enjoyable! Look into a more natural way of doing the tutorial
Thank you! I will sure do :)
Great game all around, loved the 4 puzzles! I will keep an eye out for the full release, if the story mode is meaty enough this is something that I would spend my money on. I believe that highlighting the square that the ball will move into would improve the game by a bit though.
Thank you for your feedback! hopefully the story mode will release in couple of days!, that's a great idea! I will consider it :D
I enjoyed the puzzle mechanic! The graphics are beautiful as well. I think you could integrate the introduction to the mechanic into the game rather than having text in the beginning. Also, the feel of moving the ball could be improved. Great submission!
Thank you, I agree, teaching the player the controls with gameplay is better, but I didn't really have that much time for it, so I made the first few levels easy and then it gets harder to solve.
This game was great! It was really hard, but also super fun
Thank you!!
uhm, never start a game with a wall of text! if the screenshots wouldn't have captured me, i would have closed it. Really good aestethic anyway! lovely
Check my entry if you want!
Remember that in the third level due to a bug it doesn't show up the "press shift to rewind" text
Thanks I would consider your advice! the rewind mechanic doesn't use "shift", it uses mouse right click :D
Ahahahahaah, no wait. I was talking about my own game, i forgot to put that text ahahahahah
Damn, this was pretty cool! Nice
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it :D
