Amazing puzzle game. Really made me think. Each level was so well designed and a step up from the previous. I love the art style and the computer sound effects fit perfectly. Would love more levels and other expansions. Really addicting. Just perfect on all fronts. Superb job.

presentation and game mechanics are so cool and enjoyable.

I'm not smart enough for this game, but the presentation is cool and the mechanics are original. Nice job!

A really great puzzle idea- Also well done with the tutorial levels, I would be totally stumped if not for those.

The presentation and puzzles are really great! Amazing game!

The puzzles had a lot of depth to them for a jam game. It had some interesting mechanics that took me a bit to master. Had to change up the way I was thinking a few times which is always good in a puzzle game. The only thing I really felt was missing was like an undo button. There were a few times I had to reset semi-complicated sets of movement just to undo a single bad move which was a bit frustrating at times with the larger puzzles. Overall one of the better titles I've tried so great job! 

Developer

Totally agree on the undo button; I already have it working on a newer build and will upload it post jam. Was a bit worried it'd kill the flow or difficulty of the puzzles but it's actually quite the opposite, since it removes the need on longer levels to re-do the whole sequence (tho sometimes you need to, as specific moves at the beginning might make the state of the board unsolvable later!).

Either way, thanks a lot for the feedback!

I enjoyed that thoroughly, reminded me of the games I'd play in class during school. You got a great game going.

Developer

Thanks a lot!

This is a nice engaing puzzle game with fun mechanics, that feel good to play and don't get boring!

Great job!

Really challenging but very engaging puzzles. Loved the use of sound and visuals to create a unique atmosphere. I also would have liked an undo button to make missteps less punishing but not a deal breaker. Overall good job!

Really smart design. great art. Loved it!

Developer

Thanks!

This is such a cool idea! Fun gameplay, challenging puzzles, smart mechanics, great art, and fun SFX; this game rocks! (Or should I say rolls?)

Developer

Thank you so much!

Incredibly challenging and I absolutely LOVE the atmosphere of this game! Felt a bit like TIS-100 for ambient sound and visual FX.

I got to level 5 before realizing I was mostly solving puzzles on luck and brute force haha, quite the puzzler!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Yeah difficulty needs tweaking (:

Submitted

I just gotta get good haha :D difficulty is fine for most who play those kinds of games I bet!

Fantastic. Was a bit tricky to understand at first, but once I fully understood what was going on, it became one of my favorite games of the jam. As other people mentioned, some kind of undo mechanic would be nice, but did not detract too much from my enjoyment. Outside of the design, great aesthetic, and great audio design (even if you didnt actually make the sounds yourself). Really well done. Congrats and thanks for sharing!

Developer

Thank you very much! I'll certainly be testing an undo function (mostly to see how it impacts the gameplay and difficulty)

And yeah all the sounds are free and not made by me, but I did have a clear intent and feel in mind when looking for them :)

Amazing and unique puzzle! A bit hard to understand the dynamics to start, but the number of tutorial levels was perfect and really gave a chance to build an intuition for it. Great polish, visuals, and sound, 15/15!

Thank you so much!

Solid concept. I think it was super unique and elagant.  The graphics and style were amazing - I loved that old CRT monitor look.

Literally my only improvement would be an undo button.

Other than that, this is a great entry!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! As I said below, an undo button would be the number one improvement (had it in mind, didn't end up implementing it)

Pretty original puzzle game, the art and animations were well made. Had fun playing it.

Developer

Thanks!

The authenticity and the theme are so nice. The gameplay is smooth and matches with the theme so well. The difficulty is a bit hard but it was quite a grueling fun experience!

Developer

Yes I'd definitely tune the difficulty if I pursue the game any further, thanks!

This was such a neat mechanic and great art style! Loved the art and sounds as simple as they might've been and the satisfaction of solving a puzzle after a couple tries was great. Good job, if I had any "complaints" it would be that I wish I could take steps back to retry a different angle instead of having to recreate my path every time. Great job!

Developer

Yeah I really thought about having an undo action, but due to time constraints didn't implement it. Also curious of how big the impact on the game's difficulty would be.

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

A solid puzzler. Just really needs an undo button.

Developer

Thanks!
