a really chill game, simple, beautiful , i'm really love it !! bravo ! I love the way we discover new mechanics bit by bit

Beautiful and relaxing, I loved discovering every mechanic!

Slick! Very cool mechanics and beautiful presentation.

Very chill, aesthetic game. Loved the music!

Super chill and unique

Vector graphics for the win, nice job!

Interesting game, very good graphics and sounds, i liked it!

Very beautiful and polished game. Would love to have levels to slowly learn and get used to the different start types.

I like the variety of mechanics. The simple but complex in a relaxing way.

Entrancing! I spent a good 20 minutes before my "light faded". Nice visuals and music.

Nice job! I got lost in this game for a long while before realizing that I'd spent too much time and really should get back to my life. The music fits the game perfectly! Quite mesmerizing. The game mechanics are simple yet really fun! I could play this for hours, if I had the time. Love it! I hope to see you turn this into a more complex, full game some day!

Whoa! The real @lanalux has played our game! This is a success guys. This is a success.

Incredible! Played it for way longer than I intended to... eventually got stuck at a point where I could no longer expand my loop, but that's probably not fault of the game. In fact, I can't really fault this game on anything.

@rhythmic-revival Thanks for such nice feedback! It's really heartwarming ^^

Got lost in this for a long while. Great mood and intriguing game mechanics, which I have yet to understand fully. Would have been nice to start with a smaller level and ramp up.

Wow, that was great! I couldn't reach the right end of the universe despite my best efforts. I probably missed a node somewhere... Absolutely loved the mechanics of the game. It was intuitive to learn, and grabbed my curiosity. Athmosphere was very cool and the music reminded me of blade runner. 5 stars!

this game is by far the best i tested for this jam.

almost everything was on point. i just dont get the ending.

meadjix 2020-10-07 22:59

This game is very well executed! The music is perfect, graphics are nice, interactions are simple, understandable and easy to grasp. Very good job!

Really nice ambience in the art and music and in the mechanics and puzzle. I liked discovering how the different nodes worked. The controls for connections on the green nodes were a bit confusing and i thought the split connections were permanent (or maybe it's possible to be stuck and not able to disconnect it?). Good use of the theme.

palemek 2020-10-07 23:19

Really clever mechanic, although some kind of in game tutorial would be really nice, "is this really the end"? :P

I really enjoyed this game! The experience was super chill and calming, and the mechanics were interesting. There was actually a lot of complexity, with lots of different kinds of nodes to play with, and intersting choices to make. I played for quite a long while before my last photon sadly faded away. The splitting node especially makes it fun to play, because you really have to decide on whether you want one strong photon or several weaker ones. I think you could add a few more beacons, because at times it was hard to explore new areas, but that's all I can say. Very fun and chill. Thanks for making this, good job!

this is really good game. everything blended perfectly
