Niiiice, at first i was like "wtf is going on" but that quickly changed into "hell yeah im smart".

isaque-picao-sanches 2016-04-18 09:34

Thanks :)
In this LID I wanted to experiment with progression and teaching mechanics implicitly.

Geeeeebus.
Took a bit for my brain to get wtf was going on and not putting any instructions and figuring it out was very interesting in itself btw, nice one.

Afterwards, it was enjoyable and did what it was meant to perfectly.
Sadly, my brain just melted on level 4 (I need more sleep), so I cannot comment on end condition yet but it's one of the few entries where I'll come back to it to play again.

Very nice entry, very special. Kudos!

I really like this. Nicely done for making a fun puzzle game so quickly!

isaque-picao-sanches 2016-04-18 10:05

Thank you :)

Wow! You nailed the idea of teaching mechinics implicitly! And by doing this, you give the player a sense of "I figured it out on my own" which is just a great feeling. Though I gave up perhaps a bit early - couldn't do level 4

Hmmmm

Huu, i like the idea behind this one. Would be super cool playing this as mobile app. Nice puzzle game!

robooggy 2016-04-18 10:43

I quite like the idea,
At the start, I wasnt sure what was going on, but later figured it out. Very nice man :D

Great concept! I couldn't pass the 3rd level (maybe didn't work or i didn't get it) Anyway congratulations!

strange then smart then (too?) hard...

fenyesj 2016-04-18 12:34

great game

yrasin 2016-04-18 12:50

Really great game! I did not understand anything at the start, but after a level or two it became clear. Very good progression.

I couldn't get past level 3 (couldn't switch running dude). Maybe a quick bugfix?

fanus07 2016-04-18 12:50

Really cool discovering the gameplay. Nice job! I enjoyed it and the puzzles are engaging. I also like that it is graphically minimalist.

OSX: application can't be opened.

isaque-picao-sanches 2016-04-18 14:03

@akirassasin
It doesn't work on Mac?

(I didn't test it on Mac) can someone please confirm?

berserker_chris 2016-04-18 14:40

Really alternativ indie stuff - No more words

aegypticus 2016-04-18 16:41

Mac OSX isn't working. There is no available application to run the .rar file.

isaque-picao-sanches 2016-04-18 19:29

The .rar file is a compressed file.

Nice concept!
I got to lvl 3 and I think that the game bugged... or maybe I'm doing something wrong. The first column of silhouettes keeps moving no matter what I do. Pressing the space bar doesn't change a thing. :/ Maybe you'd like to have a look at that.

Anyway, up until lvl3, I really enjoyed the challenge!

gamepopper 2016-04-18 21:04

The puzzles are really clever once you understand what to do. It's nice seeing one of these deep games once in a while.

crazyrems 2016-04-18 21:44

What a strange game. I went to level -9. It was enough. But I like the concept.

luvshape 2016-04-19 03:00

What an interesting puzzle game! It has an unique vibe to it and i really enjoy that. I really need to show this to people, good job!

joemid 2016-04-19 03:51

Can unrar for mac; opens an app or package called v1. V1 can't be opened- any suggest?

tweedle 2016-04-19 23:19

I've never played a game on an iPad on my Windows PC before!

manou 2016-04-20 07:59

Very unique and weird!

karai17 2016-04-21 02:42

Interesting take on the matching game style!

patomkin 2016-04-21 09:27

Okay, you made me go "wait, what?.. oh... OOOOHh!" and that is awesome. But the mechanic doesn't change after that and the feeling dissipates after a couple of levels. Good job, though!

naca 2016-05-01 02:31

As someone has already commented, level 3 may have a bug. I keep pressing space and nothing happens. Anyway, I liked the concept so much. As you said above, it teaches you how to play implicitly in a very smart way. Well done!
