Hey there, very nice piece! I love the minimalistic art and how the simple gameplay is complimented by a touching story line.

Hey there, very nice piece! I love the minimalistic art and how the simple gameplay is complimented by a touching story line.
This game is really something. The mood is great. I really like this kind of game. Really simple but soooooo goood... <3 Great job :)
I love it <3 really peacefull, well-tough and cleverly made, it really is a good project ! Love it!
Oh my god!!! such a beautiful concept! Also an excellent narrative. I love the way of solving the puzzles for routing and eventually talking to someone on the other side. The UI is simple but asthetic. In my opinion, color selection was interesting to make the player think about both person's identity.
Absolutely loved it, really! The minimalistic art fits so well to the ambiance, the gameplay is simple to understand and the little story kept me playing until the end. Well-thought and well scoped for the short time of the LD, you just nailed it!
I loved it! The experience is smooth and curated, and the puzzles are interesting. Peaceful, soothing... really cool entry! :blush:
That was very cute. I like the kind of puzzle, although had the story been any longer, more variations on the gameplay would have been nice. The dialogue was cute, in an almost-cringey-teens-falling-in-love kind of way. "Don't mean to bug you" was almost too much :D The graphics and audio are nicely polished, the UI is very pretty. Good job!
I really like that the puzzle mechanic is immediately obvious from the screenshot/itch thumbnail. As far as puzzles go, it's a little on the short and easy side, and I don't think there's any more to do with the puzzle mechanic, but this was *just* enough content for a jam game, and the conversation broke up the puzzling nicely. If you wanted to make more content, you could add more mechanics of course. There was a slight progression in puzzle difficulty, so the later puzzles weren't super boring retreads of the first one, without breaking the flow and make me forget about the story.
Very good entry. Interesting combination of good simple base mechanics and narrative. It's your unique style of games, I guess :)
Interesting idea, loved the implementation and the dialogue.
Really reminded me of the mobile game Heart@Hack (in a really good way). Writing is great, it's easy to enter into the story and fantasy behind it. AD is nice as well!
Nice entry overall, well done!
Well done! Art style is perfect.
Love the storytelling aspect mixed with a puzzle. Well done simple game.
Really liked this game!!
Wow, this game is really incredible! The puzzle aspect is totally original and clever. I thought the pacing was great, with the puzzles getting trickier near the end. The narrative really surprised me, it's so understated and sweet. The Maglevs in Love reference made me laugh. My favorite part is the UI, it's just gorgeous. This is my favorite game I've seen so far. And to be honest, seeing other women developers on LD makes me so, so happy. I'm glad you released a post-jam mobile-friendly version with endless puzzle mode, I'm gonna check it out.
Very good entry! I love the mix of puzzle with story, and the whole thing makes sense: story talks about the connection which is the puzzle part etc... Graphics are minimalist yet very clean. Excellent job!
Lovely game, I love sci-fi, and making a puzzle with a story, such a brilliant idea! Loved it from start to end. Simple interface, old-school style, awesome!
interesting pupazzo System. i like music too.
Well done girls, great work. The music creates a lovely mood and the combination of the puzzles with the story works well. It also seems like the puzzles are randomly generated, which is a nice touch as well.
Very cute and catchy, i like the graphic style and the concept. Well done !
This is cool! I liked the low stress of the puzzles, and it's very well written. Really neat little thing.
Wow, what a cool way to implement a story into the game!
Very fun and relaxing game.Story was heartwarming and the concept was quite unique!
This is great to be honest, didn't even expect this and it surprised me so much :3 I really enjoyed the sound and the process itself. Visuals are awesome, the color scheme perfectly suits the game's mood.
My winner!! :heart_eyes: minimalistic, new and unique gameplay, not stressful. theme super implemented, top game, congratulations, definitely keep going!
Oh wow, this is so sleek and fun!
A really well told story tied together perfectly by compelling puzzles. One of the highlights of the jam for me!
Very fun puzzle game that sort of hides its complexity in an extremely accessible format! I love it!
I love everything about this. The UI is beautiful. The story and the gameplay complement each other really well. Just lovely.
My only irk is that the subtle animation on the signal strength tricked me into thinking the puzzle was timed. And it took me a few puzzles to realise.
Came here by surasshu's recommendation thread on twitter! I played the jam version. It's rare that I so readily am willing to give something 5 stars, but I really love experiences like this. The perfect combination of everything, just....fantastic. Best of luck on the rest of your ratings :)
One of my favourite games so far - great general design on the UI, the gameplay is fun and accessible and the story is interesting! Very nice general level of polish - only very minor point is a scrollbar on the message panel would be cool.
Beautifully done! The design is lovely, the story keeps you going, it all works together well! Everything is balanced and smooth! Lovely!
Nice job! The mechanics are simple, unique, and allow for complexity, and the story is a very nice little feel-good plotline. That being said, I can't see the gameplay holding its own if I was playing without the story. It looks great, and is extremely polished mechanically, but I do wish there were one or two more mechanics I would have to consider just to spice up the gameplay experience. It could be something simple, like worrying about the number of connections I use, or scrambling the board if I make _too_ many mistakes. Either way, I can't expect a ton of content from a jam game, and what content is here is incredibly well made and polished, so nice job!
Very chill and slick. Kudos how its being all put together :wink: (somehow on my firefox [not recent build], it would render-weird with its connections between the nodes; on Chrome it works perfectly! Edge, Perfect!); Surprisingly on mobile browser (chrome) it would lock into portrait-mode instead of landscape (but the plus that it's web-flexible, even the rendering of the messaging conversation [PC: side-by-side (Landscape); Mobile: stacked (portrait)] really takes the cake on execution of the design constraints! well-done! Good use of the CGA-palette that works for this game! :dizzy:
@acronaut Wow, thanks for giving it a thorough test on the different browsers! :) I'll have to take a look at it in Firefox. Locking into portrait mode for mobile was actually a setting I enabled on itch.io, since the side-by-side view wouldn't necessarily fit on a mobile screen. Anyway, thanks so much for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
It seems that it is an interesting game, I am a technician in installation of solar panels and also an electrical engineer and I am interested in what you can do with that game, the truth is that many of my colleagues still do not know how to operate most of the electrical things that we have in the workshop but I think I will put this game to train some other partner and be able to do something better for the company https://www.renogy.com/inverters/inverter-chargers/ to provide better quality service.
