Hi, I can't run this - your link just points to your homepage, and none of the games listed there are this one

MrNyarlathotep: It's slightly hard to see due to the page layout but the body text says the following:

Due to a medical condition, I have been doing the Jam one day late (sun-tues).

This will become a proper entry very soon, promise!

alexbrainbox 2015-08-26 02:49

Entry is up now - should be playable :)

While doing the tutorial, I was all like: Man this's gonna be easy.

Then I tried the puzzle..... ;__;

Neat little game, audio suiting. Nice entry.

Lovely concept & great music. Completed the tutorial, then LOL'd at the first level! If you could slowly grow the complexity from the last tutorial, this would be excellent - would love to see this on mobile with a bit of 'Threes' style polish.

A shame that you did opted out of the theme. The graphics and audio work well, it looks slick. The page layout could have been improved, though. Nice work! :)

The noise when you reset is kind of a downer to hear each time, but I liked the puzzle. Also, yeah, not really on-theme, heh, but fun to play!

Wow. That's one great mechanic. Really good job with the minimalist yet efficient art and the flawless game design!

I love designing games like this myself so this was really fun for me! I love these kind of mechanics ;-; really sweet entry. I like the minimalistic graphics although I do feel like they could be tweaked. Overall this is one of my favorites so far this LD cx

challenging

I see you're abandoning the theme and forging your own path you little rebel you.

Nice little puzzler though, would make a good mobile game.

Did make a refreshing change from monster games tbf:)

liked it. This is a new kind of puzzle, and it's nice.

Excellent music, awesome game and lovely visuals.

This is really good! Totally can see how this would work as a mobile game to play while commuting or something!
I think may be you could have still integrated the theme somehow by adding narration or backstory to the puzzles, since this already has a kind of calm labratory vibe to it but ultimately the game is probably better for not having included any of that. May be fluffy little juicy monsters? IDK.
Anway really like the calm style of this and the infographic look that really helped me understand the game even though I'm gloriously hung over from 3 days of jamming and partying. :)
Really nice work and again I think you should think about further developing and selling this as a mobile game somehow! Let us know if you do!

I really like puzzle games like this one!
However, while I was expecting much after the tutorial, I was disappointed by the puzzle mode. It was too complexe, I couldn't figure out a strategy to beat it. Each cell was changing figure after I clicked on it. I was clicking randomly with the only hope to not be stuck during my next moves.
It's a shame because this idea could lead to challenging (and beatable) puzzles.
I really liked the minimalistic art and the music was a good choice to set a relaxing mood.
Great work! I'd like to play more of it. :-)

The tutorial is really misleading as to the kind of game it actually is!

Would have played more hand-designed puzzles but I'm not interested in being presented with a giant grid of tiles where there's too many possibilities and that will take ages to play.

dianouille 2015-08-28 13:07

Nice game but the audio is a little depressing x)

shackhal 2015-08-29 03:45

Nice puzzle. Knowing that a big puzzle is difficult to the most of us, you added a score, making it attractive to replay. The game is fun, with a great puzzle mechanic and relaxing music.

But even if it's a jam entry, not using the theme is still bad.

Overall, the game passes.

mrnyarlathotep 2015-08-29 22:20

Glad I checked back as a playable game is now up.
Fun puzzler, but as others have mentioned, very disappointing to see the theme ignored completely.

I miss puzzle games like this one. I played them all the time as a kid from shareware collection cd-roms. This one has a really neat idea. I love it! :)
