I love the miniature graphics and the soundtrack is solid. Great work!

Great game! Man, these inversion orbs make things really complex! I loved the artwork, including the sound track. Really innovative puzzle. A note, I don't know if was purposely, but the texts are pretty hard to read due to the font

Simple, but well designed puzzles. The reversal mechanic definitely made it interesting. Would have liked to see more levels.
Also in future consider exporting to a zipped file rather than an installer.

Really sorry for everyone! I fixed the installer thing. Made it into a executable instead. I swear that was accidental!!

Clever puzzles. Good graphics and sound. I wish it was a little bit more clear who's going to go which way when you hit a direction changer. Would totally play more if you make more levels.

I like games like this. Unfortunately, you can complete most of the levels just by moving one of the characters at a time (and leaving the other back at the beginning).

It feels like this follows the "control more than one" theme, rather than the "beneath the surface" theme.

Nice concept, but the controls are a little bit imprecise.

I love the concept too, nicely done.

I DO enjoy when people do something different.
Like this!

A puzzle game with nice pixels..

Really nice game! Reminded me of The Swapper

Great level design, cute graphics. Sometimes hard to fit into the path(In the last level). Nice game.

Hey, I like the graphics ! Simple and clean so they don't detract from the core gameplay, but still juiced with cute touches like the eye movement. Love that deep bump sound when you hit a wall too. Puzzles weren't bad, but I would have liked to have seen a buildup with some 'teaching by doing', to introduce the player to tricks they might need to use. There are similar 'dual control' puzzle games out there, and you should definitely steal a few basic principles for level design from some. The directional switching had me stumped for a while, but I got there in the end (but was very close to quitting thinking it was impossible) - might have been better to introduce it in a situation where you don't have the threat of death first.

I have now rated 18 games, and this is my favourite! Very simple, yet really fun mechanic. Clean visuals. Good audio, although the sfx when you hit the wall is quite loud compared to the bg music. My only gripe is that the game is short. I was just getting into it when it ended :-(.

You should consider making this a full game imo! What you have now works very well as a demo. Add a few mechanics and 15 more levels or so and I'd call that a good, full game.

Nice work putting it on the steam workshop!

zebi24 2014-05-07 11:11

I really like the graphics, music and the level design! Sweet game! :)

ragzouken 2014-05-07 11:13

Really enjoyed the mechanics of this, and the music is awesome! Didn't like how it's possible to get stuck on corners, would be easier if the movement snapped to a grid, but other than that it was really cool :)

Overall this is the entry with the best polish/fun/content ratio I've played so far (83 tests). great job. You should definitelly keep working on it.
