Pretty creative and fun game, liked it a lot.

The bringing items into nothingness is really innovative and I really enjoyed it! I also like the music a lot, it matches the mood. Except for the 'next level ding' which sounded out of place. Love how you can transport yourself into the nothingness as well and arrange things.

I really liked the simple pixel art and music here, made for a pleasant retro mood! Very cool puzzles too, the 'nothing inventory' UI reminded me a bit of Henry Hatsworth :D.

the concept of the game is quite cleaver I really liked the idea, but for me it was too hard, and I don't know, some times looked a little complicated to try to pass the obstacles

Very inovative

Mechanics confused me a bit at start, but in the end I like it - nice to see something really innovative.

Truly "Nothing" is only a state of mind. This game made me look at the world and my relationships differently.

Really though, I thought this game was going to be cheesy but that quote in the first level and how the mechanic was introduced was great. Speaking of the mechanic. It was very cool, I have not seen anything like it and it made for some fun discovery as I learned about the extent of the mechanic. Especially in later levels where you have to mix the nothing mechanic and the items you actually hold. The music was really nice as well, putting me in a bit of a zen state as I figured out the puzzles. Nice work! The mechanic would make for a cool full game.

A little bit hard to me in the begining, but when i learn, i like the mechanic!

haha genius concept! I had fun and really enjoyed the retro style. The sounds are super satisfying!

this is a very fun and strange little game, reminds me of the old school zeldas and metroids and such. super fun puzle game and the cutscenes are gold man. actually didn't they make like that one zelda game for the 3ds where you can become like a painting on the wall and solve puzles that way? ya this reminds me of that, a super fun and very weird in a good way puzle mechanic.

music is good, graphics are good, theme and story are great, the cutscenes are golden. 9/10 would play again -ign

Really interesting and unique mechanic. Putting yourself into nothing and coming back out somewhere else tickles the brain :P

Awesome game with very creative mechanics. It took a bit to get used to it, but it's really cool. I have never seen something like this before, very nice!

I love the overall concept; I just wish it was easier to work with. Feels really clunky having to right-click myself to teleport in and out of Nothing; that really should've been bound to a hotkey.

I loved it! Just a mind-bending mechanic was fun and tricky to play around with. I have some suggestions based on my playthrough.

It would have been nice to know that the spiders don't hurt you, haha.

The shield and boots are not obviously foreground, interactive items to me.

The one-hit kill enemies setting you all the way back to the start are way too harsh for this kind of fiddly puzzle game.

I liked the music but the loop was so short that I had to mute the game after a while. I'm impressed how many levels you were able to create in such a short time!

Well done, everyone! One of the highlights of the jam for me, and a great mechanical take on the theme.

Wow! What an amazing idea and quite a puzzle! Really amazing take on the theme and such an innovative way of a puzzle game! Love every piece of it. Great job and thank you for such experience!

roka-josh 2019-10-18 13:03

Very unique idea and a good and challenging puzzle game. I liked the graphics a lot and the music was fitting although it did start to get annoying after being stuck on a level for too long! Overall though amazing job!

jonno 2019-10-18 16:58

A unique and clever concept. I feel that the controls are a little awkward as a keyboard/mouse combination, and that a gamepad would work better with this, but that's my only real criticism. Well done!

I really liked that this game implemented tetris in its own way. Good entry!

rodrigo-denubila 2019-10-19 18:56

Amazing entry! I like the original ang clever way that you interpreted the theme. Mechanics are a little bit confusing at the beginning but after a while we get used to it. Good job!

boxedmeatrevolution 2019-10-19 21:57

Great mechanic! The puzzle difficulties were just right—I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game!

solah 2019-10-20 09:49

Wow, great game. Puzzles are pretty hard but really well designed. i also love the graphics and music. Good job!

nihushu 2019-10-21 20:01

That's an interesting take on the theme. Controlling the envoirement can be kinda chaotic sometimes but overall I really liked it.

gord10ahmet 2019-10-21 21:26

I liked the idea, but didn't like how we have no control over where the items will be spawned. I had to leave the game after the 3rd or 4th level.

eldskald 2019-10-26 18:28

@gord10ahmet You do have control of where they spawn. Pay attention to the cursor on the other screen, it is indicating where things will spawn.

Super challenging and innovative, I really liked this!!
