very neat puzzle game, really enjoyed the multiple mechanics and how they intertwined.

Interesting concept. One suggestion that I have is that, when making a puzzle game, it shouldn't be harder to implement the solution than to find the solution. A few of the levels have long corridors that don't really contribute anything; the levels shouldn't have delays unless that's part of the puzzle.

This was a fun puzzle game. Nice graphics, audio, and feel to it.

The teaching of the mechanics (and the puzzles themselves) was done really well. The whole game had a kinda ancient tomb atmosphere thanks to the music, puzzles and the general darkness. Would love to see this game with some proper fleshed out graphics.

Nice puzzle game for compo I like this feel of nostalgia

Pretty good game, we have too few games like that! Enjoyed it!

superunknown 2019-10-10 17:02

Enjoyed your game. Very nice level design!

locomule 2019-10-10 17:32

Yay finished! Was the last level supposed to be completely lit? I thought I was clever on the level before it and carried a torch out with me but then the next level, the last, was completely lit and very easy to finish. Good job balancing your difficulty ramping, it was almost hard enough for me to give up but I really wanted to finish.

Very cool puzzle and unique mechanisms, fits well with the theme. Congratulations on making an interesting puzzle game!

Very original and interesting game. Congrats to the creators

Cute puzzle game. You explained well your mechanics, the music and sound effects were on point and combined into a perfect mood. The puzzles were well designed. The graphics were simplistic, but they work. The only thing I didn't find very pleasing to the eyes was how the lighting system looks, but I got used to it after a while.

adliberum 2019-10-11 22:42

Love this concept. Really well executed :thumbsup:

fredfilo 2019-10-12 08:36

Great music and sound effects, I enjoyed that puzzle game a lot :)

Spooky atmosphere and nice puzzle mechanic. You did a good job of teaching the mechanics both through the actual tutorial and via the level design introducing ideas in careful ways. Only thing I didn't immediately understand was the spots for dropping lights, which could have maybe been intuitively explained better.

Hey!

Passed your game, and it's a really nice puzzle.

Interesting mechanics, I like it.

The amount of level design is really nice as well. I think it fits good the amount of mechanics. The game does not feel too long or too short.

A mysterious atmosphere works well. :3 This soundtrack is really good in the creation of an atmosphere. Maybe some sounds are a bit loud, but they do not knock out of the immersion.

I like your design. :3

Well done! :3

That's a very cleverly designed puzzle game with interesting mechanics and very good difficulty progression! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSZQiTfcXF8

Fantastic puzzle game, awesome concept. Would love to see it expanded with graphics and more levels.

Could benefit from some sound indicating the portal's open and we've succeeded. Also, due to every puzzle element sharing the same color scheme, it can be a little confusing sometimes- I'd distinguish the lantern from the moveable key dot from the square pieces, although I admire the simplicity you aimed for and I think you did very well despite that. There was one slot I completely missed on the symmetrical level with a slot in the middle, because the slot was gray, so that was unfortunate.

But all in all, very satisfying to play, really nice work.

u-tsang-clan 2019-10-14 19:42

Very fun game, I thought it was a thoughtful and unique mechanic. I would love to see more levels, particularly some harder ones.

Nice little puzzle game. No bug, nice art, a bit of difficulty in the maze level. Nice!

stark 2019-10-15 17:00

Great idea and level design, enjoyed the puzzle very much, thanks!

purrseus 2019-10-15 19:49

Interestigng puzzler with especially great sound! The graphics arent't pretty, but the moody soundtrack more than makes up for that! A big part of a lot of the levels consists of walking around. I think, some of them could have been pakced more tightly, since the distance does not add to the puzzle itself.

However, especially since it is a compo game, well done! There is also quite a lot of content :)

ogre 2019-10-16 06:37

Really smart. You could easily make more of this.

bip 2019-10-16 21:15

Very impressive puzzle game! I could easily find myself playing this for hours on end. The mechanics were solid, the tutorial was EXTREMELY thorough and well put together, and everything else was just perfect. I can't believe you put this together in two days!

candlesan 2019-10-17 02:58

Found the way out!

Pretty neat little puzzle game. I liked how I had to move torches around to different places to drag the shapes over.

If I had to make one feature request, I found the silhouette on the "shape targets" a bit hard to read. I wish it was more clear what the shape targets were.

abdul-zakkar 2019-10-19 20:51

Very nice puzzle game! I really appreciate the good level design here, I feel like that's the first thing to get neglected in a timed game jam. Ramp up in difficulty is great, and everything is displayed very clearly, and controls are simple.

These graphics are very Windows XP-esque, and I feel like there is room for improvement there :) Overall, amazing job!

phil-c 2019-10-20 10:24

Really loved the game man! I think you should continue to add more levels to it and make some awesome graphics. I think the concept would make a great game. It just makes me want more puzzles to solve!

Overall this is in my top 3 fun games I've played of the jam!

zayah0-0 2019-10-20 16:15

this game was really smart and fun, great game

geckoo1337 2019-10-20 16:25

Interesting puzzle game - clever and efficient. Well done ++

hiroboto 2019-10-20 16:30

Damn, perfect. 5/5 for all

kipkat 2019-10-20 17:35

This was awesome and a genius idea! The game is almost perfect

jhandsy 2019-10-20 19:34

This game was by far the best LD game I've played this time around! The mechanics are really smart, and I think you have plenty of room to expand if you want to! The only gripe I have is that some of the art was kind of hard to see. The yellow placement tiles' indent color is WAY too close to the other yellow, and the just grey blank placement tiles are much too similar to the empty tiles.

ohsqueezy 2019-10-21 19:42

heavy ancient futurism vibe

rplnt 2019-10-21 19:55

Simple yet deep mechanics and great level design to go along with them. Only small issue I've encountered is that a "place" block was not very visible when enclosed by walls.
