The inspiration from Portal is unmistakable. I liked the dialogues with Dan - er, Entropy - very much. And the voice-overs were amusing.

My biggest gripe is that Sam's movement feels a bit sluggish and the physics are a bit ... challenged from time to time. When the boxes land on a button on an edge, it doesn't always register. Had to restart a couple of times because of this.

The mechanics are great. The time thingy makes for some clever puzzles with endless possibilities. A truly horrifying thought. :)

I wouldn't call it exactely an adventure, but it's a lot of fun. I enjoyed playing it. Good luck on finishing it!

Wow, this definitely feels like the love child of the Half-Life gravity gun and flash-era Portal. Really enjoyed all the different mechanics and puzzles, loved the narration/VA. Felt polished other than movement feeling kind of chunky at times. Would love to see this as a full-fledged game with better graphics. Might also be a good idea to have subtitles for the narration between levels, the volume was also lower than the rest of the voices. Great game y'all

Thank you so much for kind words!
Due to time constraints I really had to cut a lot of things I wanted. Mainly animation and Sound effects. I'm not an artist so it was already quite a challenge to get art for game. If I get to find someone who would like to do work for the game, I'll be sure to add it.

You're 100% correct about Half-Life gravity gun and flash-era Portal. I love Valve games and this was a labor of love more than anything. I'm so glad you've enjoy the mechanics in game. Believe me patching all the ways to prop-fly was worth it, if people enjoyed the game 😅😅.

I'll be sure to update the game in July with chapter 3 and 4 to end the story. I hope to see your review again by that time!
