I am very impressed by the number of mechanics you managed to come up with to keep each floor interesting. Nice solid game!

I liked the mechanics you came up with, and how they played well together. A few of the levels seemed a bit too hard, but overall there was a nice difficulty curve.

I don`t like downloading games, I rather play them online (easier), but I downloaded yours and I must say it is great!
Really nice work! :D

Very nice, this is much more complex than I expected! Also the controls are very smooth which makes it quite a fun experience. It was indeed worth installing.

This was so much better than I thought it was gonna be when I first started playing. So far the most addictive game I've played in the competition. I've made a couple of puzzle type games within 48 hours so I know how hard it is to get the difficulty right and I think you did a brilliant job with that.

The sound and graphics are simple but it does the job. I think another sound effect for when the time runs out would be good, rather than the same effect you get when you die. The constant beeping sound actually adds tension.

I prefer the gameplay of this to Thomas Was Alone. All you need is some beautiful music and a celebrity to narrate it saying funny things. : )

That was pretty fun. I loved how you syched up the lasers to the sound of the seconds ticking down. It got ridiculously hard towards the end, and I had to give up on a fare few levels. The "give up" feature really saves the game, because without it I would have gotten stuck not even half way through the game. My only real complaint is that some levels felt like a battle against the controls rather than solving a puzzle, more so towards the end. It was hard to keep up with all the different colors of cubes. Still, it was a overall great game.

Good game! Surprisingly large amount of content given the short amount of time you had. The pinging sound is pretty annoying, and I'm not really a fan of the rage-platformer genre (particularly messing up control order). Great first entry!

Google wants me to register, sorry.

drhahn 2013-08-28 09:29

@Endurion I'm not sure why it would want that, all the settings should have allowed you to. If you PM me you e-mail, I can send a copy directly.

Surprising amount of depth for a game made in 48 hours.

Don't know what was up with Google (had the same issue with others too), worked fine now.

Awesome little game. The stages where you have the other boxes are really hard. Well done!

No installer next time please (or use the proper install path, e.g Program Files)

Really cool game, I like the idea of one input controlling all characters. :)

I'm impressed how many levels and game mechanics you managed to put in this game. Very decent platformer

Wow, this gets really crazy as it progresses. Pretty cool though.

I love this maze game! It is awesome! I featured it in my LD27 compilation series if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/FJWNdgd85u0

I really liked this! I am fricking stuck at the fourth floor, but I haven't tried hard enough ;) I like the sounds, and the graphics, and the idea itself.
