loves it

ianh 2014-04-28 01:22

I can't believe this is written in puzzlescript!

pierrec 2014-04-28 09:54

I won't rate until I'll understand how it works. Please help me. What am I supposed to do to remove the blocks?

pierrec 2014-04-28 10:20

This is awesome once you get it. And so impressive for a puzzlescript game!

st33d 2014-04-28 10:24

Pretty fun once you figure out those things are mirrors. MIRRORS - THEY'RE MIRRORS, NOT PART OF SOME WEIRD SEPARATED SCULPTURE OR SETS OF STAIRS.

mrpiglet 2014-04-28 12:02

Really great, but reaaaally hard.

hypnohustla 2014-04-28 14:22

This is my favorite puzzlescript game so far! Really nice brain teaser :)

mattv 2014-04-28 16:49

one of the first games I've rated that I actually kept playing just for fun! Really great!

aron 2014-04-28 17:26

Wow it's great. Just finished it (in about 10-15 minutes) and it's very clever designed. I loved the fact you have to think several steps ahead to get where you want to.

Also the really clever designed reset system is nice. Even if you make mistakes or just didn't think your possible solution true (and it's actually wrong ^^) a restart brings you not to the very beginning but to a state where everything was fine and so gives you the chance to overthink the next steps again withour tedious repeating all the stuff you did before.

ludonaut 2014-04-28 17:51

Oh wow, I didn't know you could do stuff like this in puzzlescript.

someone 2014-04-28 23:54

Very cool puzzle. I like how each phase requires reusing everything.

gikdew 2014-04-29 00:14

Puzzlescript?? OMG thats awesome! Nice graphics and the concept is awesome!

reinkout 2014-04-29 08:15

Had me playing for longer than usual. Thanks!

saintheiser 2014-04-29 09:37

Fantastic puzzle!
Mechanics on puzzlescript crushed my mind as always =)
Very good job, man!

ragzouken 2014-04-29 11:11

there's something very satisfying about pulleys

mjau 2014-04-29 15:04

This was a lot of fun! I really like how you go back and reconfigure things as new parts of the level are unlocked, and yet all that going back and forth never gets tedious. The checkpoints help a lot with that, leaving you free to try things without fear of screwing up. Awesome! =)

(Maybe mention the checkpoints in your description though? They're a lot better than undoing and i could see how someone might never dare pressing R)

caranha 2014-04-29 16:40

That is a pretty involved puzzle! I liked the general idea, although I just cleared the first two thirds for now.

Thanks for the game!

joshua_burr 2014-04-29 23:26

This was very good. It took me a fair while to complete.

anoarith 2014-04-30 01:17

Best puzzlecript game I've played so far, well done !

namuol 2014-04-30 09:16

Wow! One of the most sophisticated games I've seen made with Puzzlescript. Very inspiring stuff.

Still working on solving it, but it's been a pleasure to play thus far.

Seriously. Less than 800 lines of puzzlescript, which includes level data and graphics. The mind boggles.

recursor 2014-04-30 11:52

Nice work on this. A deceptively difficult little puzzler.

mikeypb 2014-04-30 16:37

Love it! A brilliantly designed puzzle!

lekochen 2014-04-30 16:41

Finished. What a game - WHAT A GAME!!

soy_yuma 2014-04-30 22:47

The puzzle is extremely well designed. It kept me playing until the very end. I was expecting a greater reward on the end than "congrats". Good game, anyway!

evilion 2014-05-01 01:16

Oh my god I finally made it ahah...
Awesome level design !

gazok 2014-05-01 09:32

Every time I finish one of your games, I worry about you.

meedoc 2014-05-01 11:35

I feel so smart now! Great puzzle game!

miwuc 2014-05-01 13:53

That sir/madam is some pretty awesome level design right there. Congrats!

againey 2014-05-01 15:45

It took a while for me to realize that the gray things were mirrors and the yellow background was a beam of light. Part of me wishes that this were more obvious from the beginning (maybe by having the beam already hitting a mirror at the start). But part of me appreciates the feeling of that ah-hah moment when I figured it out myself. (I was tempted to leave the game before figuring it out, though, so that's always a risk.)

The compactness of the multiple stages of the puzzle is very impressive.

I thoroughly appreciate that restarting only restarts you back to the point where you most recently destroyed light sensitive blocks. I would have quit the game out of frustration otherwise, no doubt about it.

I was briefly disappointed when, upon reaching the orb, I realized that I wasn't done yet, but wasn't sure what to do. After shining light onto the orb and accomplishing nothing, I figured the only thing left was to get the orb out of the ground, so at least I had yet another couple of ah-hah moments there (the first being a false ah-hah).

amour-maternel 2014-05-01 22:13

OMG that's hard! But it's a really fine puzzle game, and the art is beautiful. It's not often puzzle games are that great, you have done a perfect level design job and the mecanics are well used.

diptoman 2014-05-02 11:22

Wow, this kept me for so long! After reaching the red orb, I didn't know what to do. I thought it was supposed to end there. But well, figured might as well try to get it out, was easy enough. Completed it. The puzzle was insanely well thought out. Really a brilliant puzzle game.

crocantidepollo 2014-05-04 10:21

Wow that was hard! It took me a while to figure out what was I suppose to do, but when I got it was quite fun!

christinaneofotistou 2014-05-06 00:16

Very very fun! TOp marks for the mood as well!

godeatgod 2014-05-07 18:52

Your puzzlescript level is over 9000

zerkruemler 2014-05-12 16:11

Ahh extremely well done!. First confusing, but then fantastic. Such a small level can be such difficult. I like the link to the source code. Incredible small coding for such a cool game!

jonathang 2014-05-19 07:54

Great game! It's amazing how you can get something so thought-provoking out of such simple graphics and mechanics

wademcgillis 2014-05-19 19:38

so hard

zccc 2014-05-20 09:54

Wow, I finally completed, thanks for making this great puzzle :)

mark-overmars 2016-12-31 20:22

A true enigma.
