The game is a bit short but the environment is intriguing and the mechanics of magnetism feel quite good with some curious puzzles, I hope they eventually expand the idea.
The atmosphere feels quite oppressive, with muted colors and those giant machines that react when they feel something move. It makes me think of a world where machines destroyed the world and when there is nothing left they sleep forever until they detect that something still exists in the world.
Will there still be a world beyond the storm clouds?
Beautiful game. I like camera movements and the little creature is very very cute. I like the big robots staring at the little guy at the end, very poggers. The puzzles are interesting and challeging, but not very hard, but very entertaining to do. The concept is very cool and the visuals of the game are insanely pleasing, the color pallete is also pretty. I love that kind of aesthetic. This game could ealy be turned into an interesting full game, i would certainly play it!
I entered this game page thinking it was a mecha tribute to my favorite youtuber, Dream, but I was wrong, and ended with something extremely better. Thank you. :3
I just want to say I have a new game out! Totally different, but from the same mind haha https://pipotchi.itch.io/asterogues please check it out if you liked this!
Super awesome game! Really enjoyed the magnetic mechanics and music was pretty amazing! Visually it was spectacular, although there were some camera angles that made it difficult to know where things were, like the door on level 1 looked like just a regular metal plate, or the spikes near the end were hard to see and know where was safe.
All in all, super enjoyable! I hope you enjoy my video!
that was the craziest solution to the end puzzle i saw with the floor and ceiling spikes omg haha. and yea valid points on the readability of things. check out some of the other vids below for how they did the last one :P thanks for making a recording!
Great vibe. Love the feeling of being a little fella in this massive complex with huge dangerous machinery. Gave me MGS2 vibes that way. Also Limbo vibes—the kind of non-verbal atmospheric storytelling. Really dig that.
Puzzles I feel need a little work. I think there is a seed of something really interesting—the magnetism, pulling and pushing, levitating. But I think they need pushed and refined to make the mechanic feel really fun and interesting. At times it felt frustrating or boring, but the right pacing would make it sing. Comparisons to VVVVVV come to mind here.
thanks for the feedback, ill definitely think about those things. by the way, mind telling me where you found this? got a slight spike in views recently and wondering why
