I love the aesthetics and the text system. The gameplay is well-crafted too. Good job!

I cannot get past the "the world will thank you" level. I just don't know what I am supposed to do.

I do really like the visuals, and I think the mechanic is very cool.

Ooooh this is very nice, great mood surrounding the feeling of the game! :)

Nice idea and great art style. I found the actual gameplay mechanic pretty confusing. Maybe you could add more of an explanation here? What I didn't really understand was why blocks sometimes were destroyed and sometimes were not.

@Lucas Tiridath: If there was anything that I feel the game is lacking, whether due to time constraints, lack of experience, or whatever, it's training. The game doesn't do a very good job of teaching you how it works. I put levels in with the intention of teaching the play how to play, but it throws too much at you too fast. It should have been spread out more.

I really like the mood and music, but I feel confusing.

Like others, I found the game play a bit confusing. However, I loved the simple contrast of dark and light. Also, nice death effect :)

This is a really interesting game. It looks nice and you got some pretty good music out of audio-tracker! (If you didn't use audio-tracker, forgive me.) I got through a few levels but still don't understand the mechanics - but I'd love to play again once you have a better instructions/training.

Very nice, liked the B&W art. The idea to let light flow through levels is very good.

I'm on a Mac. Sorry :(

As others have already mentioned, better instructions or tutorial is needed.

Took me a while to get it, but it was worth it!
