Its was fun! liked the art style, sadly my computer is a potato so it was super laggy

Love how much you were able to do using the same space every time! A couple good little "gotcha" moments in there with the level design, enjoyed that a lot.

Graphics are good and effective!

What else... oh I really enjoyed that this was physics based/real time. Gave it a good sense of urgency and allowed for little tense moments where I just manage to slip up onto a tile, good stuff!

What program do I use to open RAR files?

akros 2018-08-13 03:42

@dk5000p you need a WinRar to open them

Great job with the modeling! There are some good levels as well. I do wish there were a way to restart the current level (if there is let me know!).

Pretty fun game. The lack of lighting makes the game look mysterious in my opinion, if that was what you were going for. Lack of sound is alright for these types of things, but its so awkward! I would love at least the sounds of footsteps. Great job nonetheless.

ghostgoatsgames 2018-08-13 03:55

Love the level design.

aaranos 2018-08-13 03:56

I recommend adding a .zip instead of a .rar since it's not a standard file extension. Some might not download WinRAR to play a game.

akros 2018-08-13 04:23

@handle the "R" button is for restart there is a bug where this message doesn't show up, I am sorry

Old puzzle game in 3d costume :)

Not bad, albeit it feels a bit buggy. The restart message sometimes doesn't show up, but other than that it's fine.

Sounds would help a lot :)

karlipoppins 2018-08-13 06:05

Love the 3d puzzle dungeon style. Great art and it ran smoothly on my computer. Controls were a bit rough as I often ended up walking on an extra step in front of the switch and had to restart the level.

Great concept, would have loved to hear some audio on top of that.

Great job!

marcel-oyuela-bonzani 2018-08-13 06:57

Taking what wouldve been a 2d game and making it 3d certainly added a good layer of complexity to it- nice job! Would've liked to have had music or sound effects for if a button was pressed.

lefinno 2018-08-13 07:00

It will be much more better with ambient lighting(torches, moonlight form gothic style windows) and music

dangogamedev 2018-08-13 08:27

Wow! this was great, awesome use of theme to create a slew of puzzles with ramping difficulty. (Music and sounds would be great though)

predominant 2018-08-13 09:08

This is great, its a puzzler that I enjoy, and it was doable, but challenging. Excellent work.

The graphics are great too, those bars at the start/end of the level, and the buttons are great. Nice work!

bovandenberg 2018-08-13 09:41

i like your game

deformhead 2018-08-13 09:42

Very good puzzle game. Love the mood.

fryderider 2018-08-13 10:30

Great puzzler! Easy to understand.

Personally I'd increase the walk speed a bit, and make it a bit more fast paced. Other than that, great job!

ravenflame 2018-08-13 11:18

Great game, would love the sound of the wind blowing or something like that to up the atmosphere.

deniskazantsev 2018-08-13 11:42

Always wanted to play simple puzzle but from first person perspective. Nice idea!

tulipekoni 2018-08-13 16:57

oh I think the game crashed.. that's unity probably :D good entry. I love the idea. Sometimes it was hard to find all the buttons. controls were a bit unresponsive (especially the mouse) but other than that a solid entry. good job!

virtu 2018-08-13 20:46

Nice puzzle game! Clean and simple art style, but it lacks sound.

bigbosserndog 2018-08-14 00:02

Nice simple puzzle game!! I like it! Nice troll level at the end XD My only problem is that I feel like first eprson made it very difficult to see where you were standing, but top down would have made it too easy, so i see why you chose first person. I like what you've done tho.

cranestyle 2018-08-14 03:31

- Strong concept - Make walking entertaining more interactive, some ideas are like if I am going to be slow, make me lumbering guy armor. - Fail by design, I know you can do better. Easy way to fix, Do an early light jump between all the points in order you want me to do them. So I can then be tactical in my planning.

mike-inprinciple 2018-08-14 03:48

I like it that the movement is not locked to cardinal or semi-cardinal directions, as it usually is in puzzle games. However, this does come with drawbacks, like me stepping on several tiles at once when I don't mean to.

Other then that, you have something here that looks like has some potential if you add more mechanics.

Lastly, this is one of the rare few games I've see that has a mysterious atmosphere, largely thanks to the darkness and the golden coloured environment.

zenris 2018-08-14 11:03

A very nice puzzle game, fits the theme well. I could use some ambient sounds and a kill box when you fall off. I like the simple art style.

jimbly 2018-08-14 15:17

Nice game! I was pretty proud of myself when I beat the 4th room, or thought I did, stepping on the last, green button, but the door didn't open :(. Not sure if that was the end, or a bug ^_^.

It would have been nice to know the order of the buttons before walking around, so I didn't have to keep retrying, however on Room 3 I liked that it made me have to choose a slightly more efficient route each time, that I'm not sure I would have came up with otherwise.

akros 2018-08-14 15:32

@jimbly Looks like you didn't beat the game my friend! But that's alright. The last room just has a catch, there is no bug :D Thanks for your review!

ixuz 2018-08-14 18:41

The puzzles were nice however the art style and composition could be improved upon. I enjoyed the game overall! Well done!

tigerj 2018-08-14 20:14

Here is a link to the feedback from your segment on my stream: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297300090?t=01h57m24s

akros 2018-08-14 21:11

Thank you for your review, @tigerj , I appreciate it! I am planning to make a compilation video with the gameplay (all the streamers will have their names and links to their sites if I will publish it somewhere) Is that ok with you?

tigerj 2018-08-14 23:32

@akros certainly. I can give you raw video files if you need them. Just message me in discord https://discord.gg/heMYnmC

saoi-games 2018-08-15 07:37

Thank you for sharing your game with me. I played it on my stream tonight at https://www.twitch.tv/saoigames

I have rated your game, but all of my feedback was captured in the stream.

You can hear my comments in the archive at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297520764

awix 2018-08-15 07:58

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good. Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

akros 2018-08-15 08:47

@awix Just copy pasting one comment to as many people as you can, without actually trying their games? This is selfish of you my friend. Better write 5 real reviews than 50 copypasted. Good Luck!

nam-nguyen 2018-08-15 23:29

Hey I love the atmosphere you created there, seems very dark and moody. The colors of the buttons dont seem to go with everything else though, I thought the violet buttons could be yellow and the green button at the end could be a glowing white button. I like the puzzle, although I think having free navigation introduces higher possibility of making error for player, and this game is definitely not forgiving with error so free navigation + free camera control makes everything even more challenging. I dont know if it was intentional but these kinds of game that requires an overview of the arena really doesnt fit first person view, unless you provide camera zoom. What I like about the game mechanic was the level design, it progresses from easy peasy to the point where I really need to think about the solution. So yeah, great work!!

gleb-shishov 2018-08-16 12:19

Игра выполнена качественно,но думаю не хватает динамичности в геймплее , но было весело. спасибо )

zombie-virals 2018-08-17 15:48

Graphics, theme and controls are all on point. Pretty challenging too. Lack of audio really hurt it though in my opinion. Like some slow, dark, ambient music droning in the back ground, echoey footsteps and the nerve-wracking sound of the ground falling breaking away.

Atmosphere was well done though, it kinds of reminds me of a bad dream where the ground is falling out from underneath you! Well done!

kobrar 2018-08-17 20:59

I would like to see a top down layout of the room as well as numbers of the buttons. After all its a puzzle game and its good to know the puzzle :)
