Really cool game, the puzzles are well thought out and build in complexity at a good pace that keeps it interesting without becoming overwhelming. The collisions are a little odd, you can get stuck on a flat surface if you try to move along it while you're close, and I was able to exploit that to beat one of the puzzles by moving a box diagonally but I'm not sure if that was the intended solution. Otherwise though it pays very smoothly and the story was a nice touch, great job!

absolutely fantastic game! i love the mechanics of you using the doors to deflect the lasers into the power cells. easy 5 stars on Innovation lol. I really like the low-poly visuals and colors as well!

Excellent puzzle design. Nailed the theme. Probably the best from this jam that I've played so far. The player sticking on the sides of walls is my only complaint. I remember fixing a similar issue  in a 2D game but I'm not 100% sure it's the same problem here. Nevertheless, well done. Your team should be super proud!

super clever level design! i was able to pick up the core mechanics super quick after playing the first few levels, then was able to focus on the puzzles. the electricity reminded me of zelda, which i love very much. great job.

Nice to see a game that uses doors as the main mechanic rather than being slapped as one of the decorations lol

Difficulty curve was pretty smooth, and new mechanics were introduced naturally. Rotation indicator shadows were a nice touch. It takes time to fully understand but I think it's a nice part of the puzzle to figure it out, and makes the puzzles here feel fair. Solidly designed game :)

Love the character and the style.  Great puzzles and atmosphere.  Took me a min to pick up on the shadows under the turrets showing where they would turn, maybe add a text hint.  I played it to the end.  Also, is it me or is the elevator going down?

Excellent. 4.8/5. Would have been 5/5 if you had audio settings during the levels in a menu or something. My favorite game so far. Great work. Polished, progressive, good difficulty for a game jam game.

Marvelous work.

Exceptionally well done! I love the graphics. This has got to be the most innovative use of doors in a game I've seen so far. I like the narrative that's added by reading the memories as well.

Developer

Thank you so very much for your lovely comment! Glad you enjoyed our game!

Definitely one of (if not) the best game in the jam. The puzzles are amazing and clever. Can't believe you managed to make so many of them ! The movement and friction could be smoothened a bit, but other than that, for me there's nothing lacking in the game. Had an absolute blast playing it.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game! So glad you enjoyed playing it! We had a ton of fun making it:))

Wow, wattagame! This was honestly excellent. I loved the personality you added with the “memories” and how the different puzzle mechanics interacted.

My only complaint is that I kept getting stuck on walls unless I moved very deliberately away from them before moving parallel to them. I think reducing the friction would make it much easier to fit through half-open doors and generally move around when you are close to a wall.

I’m super impressed you managed to make so many puzzles that all worked well, and I like the idea of including the “memory” as an extra challenge for each level.

Developer

Thank you for playing our game all the way through and sharing the love! Reading your comment made my day! Thanks, too, for the feedback, it's definitely going to help us get the game in shape for a full release. :))
