Nice idea, the way to move from one to another is a little non-obvious. I'd give the player a trail on the first level to give them a hint, as it also looks a little like it could be a loading screen. Might also want to speed up player movement a tad. Well made, looks good, fun to play. Makes you think a little bit, but not hard.
Very cool idea, but as the person said below, the controls are not obvious. This might turn away a few people because they won't know how to play the game. I managed to figure it out by clicking the screen haphazardly. Anyway, I really liked the concept and overall feel of the game. How did you make the soundtrack?
Yeah, the controls could've been more obvious. It's vague on purpose, that you have to find out what to do yourself but the biggest mistake I made in hindsight is that holding down your mouse button on the dots don't give you any feeback. That would've probably made it more obvious. But what can you do, it's too late now. :)
The soundtrack was made by mixing all kinds of weird sounds in Audacity, slowing them down and using some random filters. The idle soundtrack has at least rain, nails scratching on things, breathing, some kind of a faint chorus type of track and heart beat mixed together. The moving sound has some more brighter bells and such. That's about it.
I really wish I could have "drawn" the whole level path in one go in addition to moving one space at at time. Atmospherically it's very charming.
Faster draw would be nice... also I had some problems on the second level when there were two paths I could take (either correct) and it would only let me take one... the atmosphere is great.
I voted nearly 20 games so long and this has been the most engaging and complete game. Very simple but very good graphics and audio combination and a good amount of levels. Very well balanced. Congratulations! Maybe a little hint on how to pay at the beginning could add.
Cool graphics, and the puzzles were quite difficult but not frustrating. Really liked the atmosphere. Good job!
Not my type of game but it looks really polished. Nice graphics, audio and atmosphere..
Absolutely loved it. The art, sound and puzzle designs were great. Really really enjoyed this.
Neat! The animated sprites look great, and I liked how the game basically taught me how to play. My only complaint is the constant crackling and static in the soundtrack. Kind of gave me a headache. Otherwise: well done!
This game has an amazing atmosphere. I liked the lack of instructions re controls and the hints with the number of corners is perfect.
