GREAT submission! I loved the tutorial. Really great job.
Wow! This feels like a console-ready demo for an indie game. I would've taken some atmospheric ambience sounds or a very chill soundtrack to pad the silence, but aside from that, it's honestly perfect! Charming, simple and the text is clever and deep. Awesome job!
Wow thank you guys :), I thought the mechanics were not that simple so I tried to add a tutorial with a story to make it more appealing. Looks like it worked!
Really nice game, graphics and sound is amazing, as someone said it is like a finished small indie game ready to be published.
This is very nice. The gameplay is smooth and everything is very cleanly represented, The game has a nice charm to it. The only evident problem I noticed was slow movement. Well done!
I loved the way the tutorial was presented and the graphics are very clean. The puzzles were fun without being too frustrating. The only thing that felt odd was the lack of audio in most places. While the audio currently in the game is good, background music and sounds for the moving platforms would add to the atmosphere.
It felt great to play it. It's such a nice puzzle platformer in such a minimalistic style! I would love to see more of this :)
In my opinion the platforms should slow down when they are near the "checkpoint" right before the turn back. It would show the player the feeling that "it's going to turn now, i gotta jump"
I rated it 5 for overall cuz it was nice to play it :)
Really cool little game. The art is lovely and the calm ambience is very pleasant. :)
That was cute! I like the little blink the character does. Sometimes the camera felt wrong as I couldn't see what was down beneath me but otherwise it was lovely. :thumbsup:
This is a great submission and an innovative one at that; you’ve managed to capture a minimalist style as others have already commented in both the core gameplay mechanic and aesthetic which work nicely together! I liked the audio feedback but I think you could go one step further to have background ambience just to help fill the gaps where there’s brief silence. I liked your story too, it had a Thomas Was Alone vibe to it. Congrats!
ha! that little battery and the idea of using charge, loved the whole thing, really cool entry!.
Probably the best game I played so far, perfect design and smoothless of the gameplay. I would not think to make something better with this limited time, maybe one more 'boss' level, huge congratz, 5 everywhere except for humor ;) Well done !
The graphics are simple, yet they are smooth and very pleasing to the eye. The sound effects are pleasing as well and suit the ambient theme. Overall, its a fun and well made game, though moving across moving platforms and jumping off moving platforms can be slightly janky at times.
Love it! Simple, Meaningful and Great Gameplay. Probably my favorite so far this jam!
I liked this entry! The graphics were simplistic, but they had a very clean look that reminded me of an interface for an application. The sounds had much the same aesthetic and both were fitting due to the AI undertones. The main mechanic was pretty clever and I thought that while it was simple, you explored enough different scenarios with it that you gave it depth. If I had to critique, I'd say that the controls could stand to be a touch more responsive as some of the jumps were a little difficult and a soundtrack would be a great addition. Overall though, very good effort!
The little story made it for me. I grew really attached to that small battery. Wish there was more :P
I have to say, the puzzle mechanic might be quite creative. Having to deliver a specific instance to certain locations with a limited capacity, but requiring that the player is unable to take out a lone instance for anything other than the final location. And the elevators and the buttons taking it temporarily (could they perhaps give a challenge when taking it permanently too?) can take major advantage of that. And this can really be tied together visually without the need to explain the rules directly - "the battery can't hold more than 3 pieces because it can't fit in the tiny battery cylinder, and if it doesn't have any, it's going to be unable to do anything anymore, so it certainly cannot take back the battery piece from the elevator anymore if it used its last one there.". I love it. It's a shame that's everything, though.
...still, if I had to state any negatives, the only thing I was capable of finding was that the "bulb" quantity counter on the top right might be hard to notice right far there from everything else. Perhaps try having it align next to the "battery" counter somewhere? Still, it's just speculation and I could be wrong.
Very interesting submission. I love the graphics
Wow, that was a gem! I thought the puzzle were very interesting. The concept was so simple and yet so well thought. Graphics were simple yet fit the mood perfectly. I loved those little captions.
If you were to expand your game, I'd say add some music, and an exit button: couldn't leave the game in fullscreen once I was done. But those are minor stuff considering it's a LD.
Again: amazing game!
One of my favorite entries, very neat, excellent progression on puzzle, maybe one jump is a bit difficult before the last level. Great job! :thumbsup:
I liked the game very much. It brings out a sense of atmosphere and a certain mood i can't explain. You might want to fix some textual mistakes tho.
Love the idea. Nice simple but pleasing art style. Maybe a visual indicator of where the platforms go, so you don't have to stand on them all before you can begin to work out how to solve the puzzle. The camera is focused a little low for me I feel like a lot of jumps I do when are leaps of faith.
Good game, I feel kinda bad that the poor little guy has to die for me to complete the level :(
Great game! Not too hard and not too easy. The sounds are well made and graphics are amazing!
Really polished game, love the aesthetic!
I wasn't quite buying the text that came up when you lit the lamp posts, it all seemed rather confusing and I couldn't tell if I was reading them in the right order or not based on which lamps I lit first. Other than that though, really great game! The blinking eyes were a nice touch!
Wow, I really enjoyed this game, some puzzles made me think for a while, the platforming is solid and the only sound we get really helps the mood. Great great entry!!
Simply a clever platform game. The camera jitters, that's the only negative thing. The rest hits the spot. Great job on this game :D
Nice mood in that game, was carefully reading all messages ^_^ Clean, smart and thoughtful game you made. Good work! (=｀ω´=)
This game has a really polished nice aesthetic. A simple concept but executed really well with some existential thought to boot :) Good job!
I uploaded my gameplay of this game on youtube, you can find it here

Thanks for being part of the stream :)
I really like the mood of the game! The speech the character has. Graphics are good. The platforms felt a little bit weird though. Great job!
Nice graphics and sound. Great gameplay! :)
Best game I've come across this LD. Super nice art, easy on the eye. The texts also adds a very nice touch. Over all a very polished experience that fit the theme perfectly.
Wow, really nice game. The platforming feel really great. The graphics are minimalistic, but look great. The sounds are great. Only complaint is that the psychics engine bails sometimes. Very nice entry!
Really cool little game! I certainly enjoyed the philosophical musings and the rising sound cues. The graphics fit nicely and the overall presentation was simple but nicely put together. I enjoyed the puzzles as well!
A fan-tas-tic game with a great experience. Liked the simple graphics ! I wanted that there was more levels ! If you are going to work on this after the jam, pls add levels ! I'll be ready to play your game ! You didnt got from me 5 stars only in the jam but also in the gamejolt page !
I love puzzle platformers and this is one of the games that reminded me why. The puzzles are nice and concept is fun and innovative. The visuals are minimal and atmospheric and the calm sounds were great. While it needs more levels, it was a fun experience.
The idea for using the theme is really nice. Graphics look great despite being minimalistic. Great entry.
A very cute little game! I really appreciate the care and detail put into the presentation!
The game is fun, interesting, has good graphics, and fits with the theme. Excellent work! I have but a couple of suggestions:
The game could benefit from some background music. Of course it would have to be a very soft and quiet one, but I think that is the final touch to nail the mood.
The camera is a bit too high for comfort (when the player is on the floor, the floor and the items in which the player is standing on can be hard to see).
Keep up the good work, congrats!
Powerful mood ! I loved it ! But i hated killing so many little cute batteries :(
Great entry ! Very simplistic and yet very perfect on that :D Maybe controling should be a little more in the flow but that's pretty neglectable, also i was playing browser version. Looked so great anyways loved it <3
