Really original ^^. Love the art and the gameplay.

Nice and varying art, something I wish I would've had time for! Interesting yet simple puzzles. Good entry!

Really well made! Nice graphics and audio overall. I always like good pixel art! I feel the movement was a bit slow for a game where you need to go forward and back a lot, but other than that great work! :)

Was not expecting to die when walking past the tree. Player motion a little slow, otherwise good effort.

Very good graphics and gameplay, but player moves a little bit too slow.

I really like the little robot guy. If everything moved a little faster it'd be perfect.

Stuck pretty early in the game. Used my gamepad. Kept blowing myself up but I'm not sure if that's supposed to achieve anything or if it's meant to be a restart. Nice work.

I really liked this, very cute and the puzzle design is really clever!

BallpointPress: The selfdestruct feature is meant to get you unstuck if a certain bug would appear, and is not part of the gameplay. Sorry for the confusion.

I couldn't move ;(

Good atmosphere... The character was a bit slow for my taste, and puzzle solving when you don't see the outcome immediately gets a bit boring after a bit, but it was a nice game, congrats!

First LD29 I've finished. I liked the art style. Fun!

nice puzzle

The art looks pretty good :D the game play is not bad either. Not a big fan of the music though

I liked the look of the game, and the sound.

I found it a bit annoying having the doors offscreen when you were triggering them.

The industrial-like music set a nice mood for me. Graphics are cool, and the puzzles were simple but tricky. :)

I think the graphics and music set a really good mood (music is good!). Hellish, but not your usual "dark fantasy hell". I liked that.
The gameplay concept is also good but as others have mentioned, not seing the doors open and close as you push the buttons is a frustrating especially since the character walks so slowly.
But to me, it is really something you should keep working on. Good job.

I had to do the first level like 5 times, but after that managed to complete the game.
Great art for this game!

Very nice art style and music! The gameplay is also very original. The only minor complaint I have is, that you don't see the whole puzzle when solving it. This leeds to a lot of trial and error. But still, a very good entry!
