Wow. I love the subdued visual style and presentation. For me, games with no explanation/direction can go one of two ways. I quit almost immediately or there is something there that intrigues me and I bite. I loved the feedback, I think it is the reason I was excited to discover the game. I bit :)

cjacobwade 2013-04-29 03:32

After the first puzzle I got stuck at the gray blob.

qdowngames 2013-04-29 03:42

I have to say, enjoyable and intriguing! Just couldn't get past #3....

saampahlavan 2013-04-29 03:48

It was nice and concise. The visuals are great and the game was pretty solid. There were times where i felt like I wasn't getting enough feedback but I eventually got it. It needs some ambient music in the back.

roaet 2013-04-29 04:02

The puzzles are pretty hard but damn is this pretty,

matthias_zarzecki 2013-04-29 04:35

Lovely idea!

..and exceptionally difficult.

daniel 2013-04-29 04:48

Great puzzle game! Visuals are nice too

nicotuason 2013-04-29 05:01

captivating... puzzles are intuitive to figure out! I really like how reactive everything is.

endesga 2013-04-29 05:10

AMAZING!

trentsterling 2013-04-29 05:26

I feel really dumb for needing the hints so quickly! :(

endesga 2013-04-29 05:27

Hey Netgrid!
My link should be fixed now :)

Great execution, esp. since the graphics are all code-based. Well done!

frr171 2013-04-29 05:44

Probably the best interpretation of the theme I've seen so far - awesome presentation too.

broxxar 2013-04-29 05:54

Could really use some music!

tahooey 2013-04-29 05:57

Very nice game, took a while to get the hang of it, but enjoyable!

jonapulse 2013-04-29 05:58

Clever. I incredibly enjoyed finishing all of the puzzles--you see, I have a great intellect, and I didn't stumble through the 2nd one and get stuck on the 3rd.

fnkee 2013-04-29 06:18

Thrilling game! Great puzzles!

eteeski 2013-04-29 06:23

This was very very cool. I do know what game this was inspired by, but still you put a unique style into it and made it different. really cool how you learn how to do stuff with just mouse position and how it can be used in so many ways. lol the last scene i was just like "eww eww eww" lol but it was a cool 3d effect. this was a really cool project :)

orni 2013-04-29 07:12

I couldn't get past the second level - yet very well done. there should be more games like this

san 2013-04-29 07:15

Visually very cool but why no sounds? :(
Very contemplative, great atmosphere but the gameplay is sometimes disturbing, don't know what to do.

lpcustom 2013-04-29 07:20

I like puzzles games like this. The third stage reminds me of the Bond intro sequence. It had a "down the rifle barrel" feel. The first two felt biological. Awesome game!

unclejunkie 2013-04-29 07:55

Nice style and approach, tho I stuck at the second puzzle.

jijaweb 2013-04-29 07:59

Well done. Fun and artish!

shaircast 2013-04-29 08:16

Cleared. Neat puzzle with good difficulty. done 100% through code? awesome.

spierek 2013-04-29 08:24

Neat presentation and mood, but the cells puzzle is not responsive enough. Took me several minutes before I could divide them properly.

caasi 2013-04-29 08:31

Such a nice idea!
And it's good that I don't have to wait 9 months to finish this game XD

gamesaucer 2013-04-29 08:52

The Windows download does not work for me.

gamesaucer 2013-04-29 09:01

The game feels pretty great, because the controls are pretty smooth. The game scores especially high on innovation, because there are a few things that I wouldn't have thought of for sure.

However, as much fun as discovering the controls at first can be, the game gets boring pretty quickly. This might have to do with the lack of sound.

The simple graphics fit the theme quite well, and so do the intuition-driven controls. The graphics might be simple, but they are well-made, so the game scores high here, too.

There wasn't much humor to this game, except in level 2, where duplicating the cells struck me as quite funny.

Overall, the game feels pretty good and fits well together.

oatsbarley 2013-04-29 09:21

Lovely! You're right that the difficult part is figuring out the controls, I got stuck for a bit on the metaballs puzzle.

oysterklan 2013-04-29 09:32

I really like the lack of explanation, it somehow creates a really ...intimate(?) experience with the puzzles. Super cool.

jacklehamster 2013-04-29 10:06

Artsy and mysterious. I finally figured out how to do with the black spots, but I have to say, the lack of responsiveness makes it a bit frustrating, so I stopped at that point. I wonder if there's anything further..

komradus 2013-04-29 10:50

The second puzzle needs some sort of indicator as to how close the player is to completing it. Other then that, interesting stuff.

nanolotl 2013-04-29 11:10

Really unique and very enjoyable

split82 2013-04-29 11:27

Great! I Love this kind of puzzles.

aquilicoco 2013-04-29 11:35

Good job.

+1 indicators

lerc 2013-04-29 12:29

Nice concept. A slight visual cue on the cells that could divide would have helped if it could be done without making things too obvious.

xgor 2013-04-29 13:20

The cell part feels kinda unresponsive but very intruging otherwise.

pacifistgames 2013-04-29 14:10

Really elegant puzzle game!
I really enjoyed figuring out the controls, and the visuals were very nice. I was able to complete them all in a few minutes. I feel that the only thing the game lacked was a little sound.

pacifistgames 2013-04-29 14:11

Also, thanks for the nice comment on my entry! :)

alanzucconi 2013-04-29 16:32

The game did not disappoint my expectations! :)
A really nice work! :-)

h2n0 2013-04-29 17:18

Best game i have played so far :D

ataxkt 2013-04-29 18:39

Wow, nice! Nearly gave up more times than I care to admit, but this it my favourite yet.

McFunkypants 2013-04-29 22:15

Really amazing work. So much intelligence and thoughtfulness and relazing mind candy to be had. Takes patience. Good job!

galvesmash 2013-04-29 22:16

I got stuck at the gray blob too :(

derosa 2013-04-29 22:21

Wow, pretty hard game but fantastically well done!

7soul 2013-04-29 22:39

After the first puzzle I got stuck in a white screen with a grey pixelated blob in the middle :/

andrewshouldice 2013-04-29 23:27

Bravo. This feels like a set of interactive art pieces.

cyberyeti 2013-04-29 23:54

The visuals are superb, amazing puzzles and the simplistic controls make it fit the theme wonderfully. Awesome job!

arrogant-gamer 2013-04-30 00:37

You nailed it. This is a person who has a clear understanding of subtlety and design. I hope everyone plays this!

puzzlem00n 2013-04-30 01:13

Wow. This is incredible. A very rewarding experience, especially after you see how many other people couldn't solve the puzzles, haha. (I got the trick to the third one almost the second it opened up!)

hybridmind 2013-04-30 01:18

Really enjoyed this game a lot. The blobs level took me the longest to suss out I think. I like the concept of a visual mouse movement based puzzle game, nice work!

foxtacy 2013-04-30 01:54

I like the idea and the concepts but... either i'm stupid enough not to get what i am supposed to do or... the game doesn't provide enough feedback. I'm going with the first option XD

neight 2013-04-30 02:26

This was excellent. Thank you. Great game. I want so much more of it. Go find a great audio/music person, and this would be elevated even further.

silentspartan72 2013-04-30 07:25

I love this game, you have to figure out each puzzle without any instructions. The theme was amazing and kept me interested.

andrewves 2013-04-30 08:23

I really enjoyed this game, the way the puzzles moved were so elegant. Great job.

redwater 2013-04-30 13:21

Love it! the second one was a tad arbitrary. Loved the tunnel though! Very nice :D

jacques_le_lezard 2013-04-30 14:28

Oooh noooooo, too short! ^^ I think you should add some sound/music, but nice anyway!

kunonooni 2013-05-01 03:52

Your use of theme was spot on. Elegant mechanics. Good Job!

lotusgame 2013-05-02 10:20

Interesting. I want more than 3 levels :) I like that every level has its own logic. Good job !!

edocentrique 2013-05-02 17:58

It's hard but very original !

imagnity 2013-05-02 18:48

One word - brilliant!!!

boiuna 2013-05-03 00:29

The visual is amazing. Good use of the theme and very innovative gameplay.

sudorossy 2013-05-04 20:37

That was pretty good! Even if I have no idea what I did!

fnkee 2013-05-05 19:23

How could I've overlooked the story of this game, the first time I played it. Slowpoke much.
Once again; Magic!

euwaku 2013-05-06 05:43

A bit hard to get it, but I really loved the visual effects!

badlydrawnrod 2013-05-08 18:54

Nice style. Very minimal.

mathio 2013-05-09 13:33

Interesting little experience. Very different, which is good.
