Can I just say right off the bat, the F key to point to the orb is genius. Genius. Immediate 5 star innovation. Every game like this should have a key like that, thank you for saving directionally-challenged people like me. Graphics were pretty good, each environment was interesting so you didn't get bored exploring, the game had its challenges but was never too difficult.I think the music have been better, it's a little intense for an otherwise relaxing, immersive experience. Very solid game all around though, I had a great time playing it and I finished it! I'm curious as to what happened if you got the riddle wrong.

Thank you for all your positive comments and feedback. Glad to hear the F key was helpful, I went back and forth quite a bit on how to accomplish that sort of guiding system, so hopefully it turned out useful. I'm getting a lot of comments on the music and the sound effects, because it was obviously lacking. I don't have much experience with sound other than going to freesound.org... lol, so if you have any advice on the best ways to approach it, that would be awesome. Thanks again.
90% of my sounds are from there too LOL it's a game jam paradise.
In terms of music, what you can do is look up copyright free music on YouTube and convert a song that really matches the style of your game to an mp3 and put that in. That's how I got the four soundtracks for my game, there's a ton of great indie stuff there :)
