Amazing puzzle game. Loved the mechanics. I'm waiting for more levels :D

Awesome concept! You should totally expand on this more!

I really likewd this game and the execution! great work

Wow!! This game is impressive. I think I havne't ever played a game with such this mechanic. Reminds me a bit to Antichamber.

If it was me, you'd be the winner :v: hope you keep developing it post-jam!

If I can say something bad, maybe some kind of movement undo would be good, as sometimes the crosshair gets a bit locked.

Very fun game. Liked the. innovative puzzle, the sound/music was very appropiate. The theme wasn't really touched however, seemed more about "make it grow" instead of "keep it alive". But still, I liked it a lot.

This game so cool! This mechanics impressed me a lot. I want to play more. Thanks for this game!

This game has a lot of potential. Things i would love to see: moving objects, different colors (exp .depending on where you stand you can pass yellow but not red)

I know this was done in a short time, but i bypassed some parts of the last two levels. In puzzle games you need to be carefull with level desing and unwanted/alternative solutions

Please keep working on this game!

Very cool concept, definitely would play more of this, with harder puzzles and more mechanics (moving grey/yellow spaces?). The way you just kinda get stuck jittering in place when your crosshair touches anything yellow also didn't feel great, maybe allow it to slide around? Those are just ideas for improvement, though, with time constraints in mind this is great.

Nice puzzle game, feels like a mix of Antichamber and The Witness. Though i don't think it really fits the theme, it's still a solid entry. Hope you make something of it after the jam.

I love this game. This is a nice idea implemented well. I would actiually love to have this as a fullsized game on steam...

my only question: in what way is it related to the theme?

ludevum 2020-04-22 17:56

Very cool and fun to play! I really like the puzzles. If this was to be expanded on it could use some side mechanics like looking at a target to open a door, moving blocks, or perspective changing stuff. To better fit the theme you could have looking at the walls kill you, so not looking at them keeps you alive. Though it would also be way more difficult. I enjoyed playing!

awesome, to good to be a jam game even though there is only one mechanic, levels are impressive and challenging

zahar-znahar 2020-04-22 22:46

his is so cool! Interesting and not complicated puzzles that make you think, but do not knock out the feeling of flow! Big respect to you

This was fucking crazy!! Reminded me of Manifold Garden, incredible central mechanic. So impressive that you were able to design this for a jam!

joemid 2020-04-24 02:17

Brilliant design! The mental 360 that happened in the first scene! I think the way this game plays with expectations and perspective definitely relates to the theme. Great job and thank you for the game!

Super cool concept! I definitely think that this would be worth expanding on in the future :) The main thing I'd note that was detracting from the experience was that hitting the walls with the cursor made the mouse jitter. If you did work on it more I think that'd be the main element to improve. Apart from that, I managed to skip what seemed like about half of level 3 because I could see the orb through a hole in the ceiling :D

I loved it ! This game is incredible ! A huge thank you to @joemid who evoked it on our game page, and to you for developing it. It makes me think to great puzzle games as Beyond Perception or Monument Valley ! I did not see any link to the theme, but no problem, the game is amazing. :purple_heart:
