Fun puzzle idea! I couldn't find anything to interact with on the second level, but the first was fun!

I liked the graphics and music (catchy melody!), but the gameplay was boring for me, sorry.

It seemed to have been based on finding stuff on a looping map, which isn't, by itself, very interesting for me. The walks to get the needed things were too long and got boring quickly. Also, maybe it was meant to be like that, but I couldn't find the green switch on the first level for quite some time. It blended with the environment, so I couldn't spot it at first.

Also I couldn't find anything to interact with on the second level either, what was I missing?

Anyway, it might become a good little game if only there were more things to do. Nice audio and visuals, good job!

P.S. Am I seeing a lot of references to The Talos Principle (great game!)? :wink:

Looks interesting! Really sad that I can't try it on my Mac :(

I initially ran in circles for a while before figuring out that the the maze was looping. I thought the first level was well balanced although on my first attempt pulling random switches I ended up in a state where the correct sequence didn't work and I couldn't tell how to get out of it leading to me restarting the game.

I also couldn't find anything interactable on the second level

Over all it was fun to play

I'm really sad, that you use so many ready assets. Charachter controller is rather non-responsive for this game (nearly Luigi from Mario Bros Lost Levels).

Fun of game was ok, but graphic side of game could be better (looking for ready assets).

A clue for anyone stack on the second level... Look for the flowers and try to pick them up (You have to wait a little bit to pick them up)

Loved the music - gave me this kind of silly/manly vibe. While running my eyes were blasted with stimuli wchich made me not see too good - maybe try changing FOV a bit? Kinda lost on what to do in this game. Like I could give it more time if I really liked maybe a story hint or something or a little Objective Message somewhere.

Nice puzzle. Personally think it lacks informativity of objects and so on, and 3/4 camera would suit better (or control elements should be bigger. Good job anyway! :)

Congrats guys! Loved the theme implementation with the looping world and I wish you could use it more, like in the 1st puzzle. At the 2nd one, the buttons should activate a bit faster, not instantly but not that slow. 3rd one was my favorite. Loved the music, especially at the 3rd level. Movement sliding was a bit unnecessary in my opinion but it's alright! Wish you had someone to help with art, it would make the game even more unique! Cheers!

nice approach to the loop theme and i also liked the puzzles.in my opinion it would be a lot better if it had some information about things like press f to interact etc but overall i really liked the game!p.s. nice title

Nice idea. You are the first guys who wrote down the credits to all the assets you had used. Big thumbs up for that. In my opinion it is completely ok to use ready created assets. In the 72h challenge this is allowed and not everyone is able to make own graphics. Important is that they have created a game and it is working fine. Graphics and sound are really cool. They switched of the rating for graphics. Next big thumbs up. Really solid entry guys. Was fun to play it. :-)

The idea of the puzzle is fine, but there are some problems with implementation: 1. I don't like camera, it's too close to the character; 2. It's hard to understand that switches are switches and you have to use them; 3. There is no instructions at the beginning which can explain what you need to do to go further;

Puzzle idea is good.

The looping world idea was neat, you could deform it a bit more, or place camera sideways - so you could see a "reverse sphere" world. To increase the vision of how the world is looping.

I enjoyed the game!

The graphics were well done and the music was also good, some work was put into the puzzle, it was an enjoyable game.

I liked the music and you implemented the theme well. Unfortunately due to my color blindness I had issues solving the first puzzle already :D I didn't know what I had to do in stage 2 tho :/

lyrcaxis 2020-10-10 22:17

That's the best implementation on the theme I've seen so far.

Gameplay was interesting as well :)

I DID get stuck on the 2nd level though -- was searching for some flower parts to pick up but never found any :/

virimine 2020-10-10 22:22

Nice puzzle and really polsihed game for a jam~ :smiley: Unfortunately, I couldn't pass the second level.. :sweat_smile: But the music was veery relaxing and helped wanting to keep playing the game~ Good job guys!!

nickzouk 2020-10-10 23:35

@lyrcaxis Thanks! Try to find the flowers that are on the outside Inside the level :D
