I like it! I think it's cool you managed to get so much content out of just a few mechanics. The difficulty ramps up very quickly, but the mechanics are very easy to get to grips with!

I think gameplay wise one of my only concerns would be that some levels take a very long time, or look very intimidating from the beginning which may dissuade people from playing to completion. This is always something to be wary of in single-screen puzzles. Especially where failure resets the whole thing. My own entry is guilty of this sometimes as well.

I think you focused on the right things, and 'did what you could' with the presentation to give it a neat aesthetic despite obviously being very simple. Always the wise choice if you're not artistically confident.

Good stuff!

Pretty cool, nice mechanic and I liked the meaning behind some of the gameplay. Nice work.

Really cool mechanic and very challenging puzzles. Great job!

Simple but powerful, you made real intersting level but maybe you could imagine a morepregressive way. The black and white style is intersting but the graphics and the font could be maybe better to create a more trendy look, more classic.

Actually some level are maybe too scary for a free game, even if there is a solution...

At the end i'm always impressed by puzzle design and here it's well done even with hard puzzle... the hardest to design ;)

Great submission!

I really appreciate your level design - I once created puzzle game and 99% of comments was "it's too easy", while difficulty in yours scale up nicely.

Good job, I like that it feels like there's a good variety to the puzzles using the simple mechanics.

Really clever puzzles, not too keen on the story though..

Liked the game a lot. It is an easy to play - hard to master mechanic, very clever level design, and lot of fun to play.

Difficult, fun, simple! Great!

The fact that you restart the level when you touch something is very annoying in a puzzle game.

I love it when someone tries to tell a story with a game though, keep it up :)

I made it to "Don't get distracted" before getting frustrated.

I like the concept and it works well. I have seen this done a bit more polished but very nice going on this one.

Solid entry

The game works really well and can get quite tricky to master, but it seems to always be accomplishable. Very good puzzle design!

Great solid design skills here. I really appreciate the thought of the puzzles. A bit of audio and you have a great game here!
