The concept is good, level design is fine. The box's blocks my view when I am waking with them.

Nice idea, worth expanding upon. Boxes could do with being smaller/transparent when picked up.

great concept, fun puzzles. Only complaint is the block restricts view a lot when you hold it.

Nice weapon concept and level design.

Great concept and atmosphere!
But the box is blocking my view so much that I can't see the road :(

I loved playing this game (and not just because we have games with a similar name :) - they play completely differently).
I especially liked the approach, mood and audio - all those fit well together.
The texts that pop up are neat.
The gameplay would be better if boxes didn't block my view (should be positioned further away), and if they didn't fall down and got stuck in the ground/wall. One such box couldn't be moved anymore so I couldn't continue playing it.
Also maybe it would be good if there was a way to get better orientations - I was kinda getting confused from all the gravity switches (but maybe that's a "feature").
Still, best game I played so far, I hope you make a final version eventually.

Very good concept! Would scale the boxes a little bit down when youhave them in the hand. But really cool, love the ambient sound!

I liked the idea and the ambiance. very confusing !

I see valve buying the idea... omg! this will be on half life 3? Sorry, i am over reacting. Great innovation, reminded me portal and antichamber.

Great idea for a game mechanic. :)
The gravity change didn't seem to affect any of the boxes that I had previously carried, is that supposed to happen? Maybe they were getting stuck in the wall?

Daaamn interesting concept. I really liked it :)

Really nice idea that fits into the unconventional weapon theme nicely. The gravity changing was handled really well and the sounds and music were great. Only complaint would be that it gets quite confusing as to where you are as the walls kind of blend in and look the same. Great Idea with lots of potential

Awesome concept!

Thank you all for playing our game! We are surprised how much positive feedback we got, because that was the first LD we participated (even the first common project of ours), and we hardly succeeded creating the first 2 levels of the 5 planned, but now we consider to bring on!

@DeadFragment, @SpringCabal
The lack of orientation is intentional, but there's some help: the floor is always gray, the ceiling is always brownish and the walls are always colored in a gradient of the two

@novadream
If you mean the red ones, that's also intentional, they are the so called "sticky" boxes

My God... that plot ;_;

First thing I notice is that this game had a very familiar mood. Something about first person puzzle games brings this bitter-sweet sense of calm. The graphics were alright, it was innovative and I caught myself having fun during those tricky moments. The audio was soothing, and fit the game. My main criticism is that the gravity-gun seemed more like a tool than a weapon.

joshyoshkenoshi 2015-04-27 13:18

I think this is a neat little game! It's a very clever mechanic that you're working with, although I must admit that I did find the levels a bit disorientating.

waveformmodulations 2015-04-27 22:34

Enjoyable and colorful style, Liked the simple design of the level, there's alot of similarities between this and our game!

Physics based puzzlers are always great. Very "portal" like. Nice take on the gravitational mechanics. I'd suggest steering away from the "testing lab" theme though, been done.
