Loved it!) It reminded me when I tried to play Keep talking and Nobody Explodes in VR with my friend, brings good memories! The game looks cool and plays even cooler!

A very interesting puzzle. I like it

Great game! Graphics are simple but just enough, audio really doesn't need anything more - a hit for me. Great work!

Right click in web can't work. Couldn't play the game....

Great work! Love this kind of puzzle games. Cool style a good "tutorial" in the levels to introduce new feature! Would love to have one final really hard level ^^

I really liked this! One of the few puzzle jam games that I actually bothered to finish.

I think the addition of a timer really benefits the game, and a lot of the puzzles would have been better for having it. My favorite parts of this were hectically trying to find the right wire to cut while the timer ticked down. I think you could lean into that! Although if you did the puzzles would probably have to stay relatively simple to avoid frustration... so maybe it wouldn't work for every level.

I think this could work pretty well as a full puzzle game with a few more mechanics. I like the idea of the level being a sort of puzzle box that you have to rotate around and figure out.

I just LOVED this game! We've finished Keep Talking And Nobody Explodes with my friend recently so this was a beautiful throw back :heart: Love the puzzles, it keeps player engages, maybe some dramatic music could be added for better effect :slight_smile:

Excellent game. Great use of "3D spatial awareness" as a puzzle-solving mechanic. My only issue is that the colors or various objects are a bit same-y, although the indicator given when hovering over interactable pieces did help with that. Very intense, and a lot of fun. Would definitely play a post-jam version of this game! Great work!

Excellent game!

The manipulation is pleasant and puzzles interesting, with a nice difficulty curve. Also, the way you introduced new features and how tutorial messages where integrated on the box made for a really smooth experience. I was disapointed it ended as I was willing to play more!

On the downside, graphics and audio are lackluster, functionnal but not really super pleasant to the eye/ear. Some nicer models and SFX/music would put the game in top-tier category.

That you made it alone is even more impressive and if you have some time, I can only encourage you to play other games (to gain karma) and/or promote it because it would be shame you not get the 20 ratings.

love a good 3d puzzle

Really intresting puzzle!

This was really awesome! Can't believe it doesn't have more ratings. I like the "puzzle box" design, and the text all around. It gave the game a nice personality :)

Really great job!

I really enjoyed the feeling of turning this small box "in my hands" around to look at it from all sides to solve the problem. You conveyed that very well.

The sounds do the job, but a little bit of tense music would have been the icing on the cake.

Nevertheless, very interesting submission, even more impressive since you did it alone.

I like that there are new things on every level, really enjoyed this game.

very-high-ping 2021-10-17 02:09

this was a very cool puzzle game, and i agree with other people in that a timer would be great, especially considering that the constant beeping really urges you to figure it out fast already, so that would be a great touch

This was a very fun puzzle game! I didn't realize until the last level it wasn't timed so I rushed through a few that would have been better to actually work out every aspect. I liked the controls and the logic of some puzzles, a few were super simple or I solved on accident lol. A good and unique take on the theme.

Very nice puzzle game! You could turn this into a real game.

Great entry! Brings backmempries of KTANE and other "box-puzzles".

Good sound design and visuals, controls are intuitive.

Good luck!

This was fun! Great ramp up in complexity, and I can imagine puzzles getting quite complicated if there were more. I understand the purpose of the beeping, but found it to get a little annoying after a few puzzles. Other than that minor nitpick, this was a really solid entry. Well done!
