Fun concept, original use of raycasting:)

168MB?, I'm sure you can pack unity games smaller.

Good game. Pretty tough but it would fit in nicely with recent indie puzzlers.
Maybe make light shine through the balls? (It seems to affect balls through each other, so the light not shining is a bit misleading)

Loved the game, only thing is it didn't tell me I did it and I can't find any other balls to move. Anyhow maybe it was the resolution I was running the game. Props to you for making such an entertaining game!

Loved the original idea, and gameplay.

I'm sorry, I cannot load this game on Linux, there is no Data directory in the link :(

I did it in 5:01. I would have done it faster but it took a while to hunt for and tease out the two balls hiding offscreen. I didn't see any modes that were perfectly 16:9. Interesting concept.

7:57 :( A toggleable light and fully covered walls will do!

Wooaaa.. nice experience..
Perfect music and great visual, well done!

This was a really cool game. The lightcasting effects were a cool mechanic, but it was a little bit difficult to figure out at first. There were two more balls hiding offscreen, but other than that, great!

Interesting puzzle, a beautiful use of light and line-of-sight.

The "normal" and "expert" modes almost feel like different games. I think I liked the "expert" game better, but the "normal" version served as a tutorial for me :-)

The music was a great fit for the game, although I do wish you'd chosen to compress the music before distributing -- 168MB takes a long time to download here!

Overall a very good work. Great job.

Using the light to pull objects was a cool mechanic. Only issue I had was when a ball was under the pointer you couldn't see the light anymore but it still pulled everything around it. Fun game, nicely done :)

Love the game mechanic. Could use a tutorial-ish levels before being thrown in the big one. Did not have the endurance to face expert mode. I'm a whimp.

Man, you forgot the data directory on the Linux download :(
