Hello everyone who came to play our game! The web build is having some issues right now, so I've uploaded the game to itch.io for now. There will be not very good picture quality, but in 7-8 hours I will connect a separate server, and it will be much more pleasant to play. For now, you can try the desktop version of the game, or play it on itch.io, the compression did not mess up the files too much (especially if you play in full screen). Thanks to all! ^-^
I like the idea, I just think the execution could use some work. Not being able to see where I was going proved to be more tedious than interesting. Also, the 10 second timer didn't really work well in my opinion. Having said that, I'm a sucker for puzzle games and I did enjoy playing. I think the game could go a long way with a little polish, so don't take my feedback harshly. Good work!
Really nice puzzle game! Managed to reach the end. An interesting twist on Sokoban. The mood and graphics are really top-notch.
I uploaded the game to the server, but, unfortunately, I could not fix the quality. So if you play, the best graphics in full screen mode ;) @fishy-f1shy @poboy Thanks a lot for the feedback! UPD: Hooray, I finally managed to load the game with normal compression, so the graphics quality and performance will be noticeably higher!
Nice looking game
Pretty fun and innovating ! The timer feels slapped on top though, it doesn't give time to think and makes the game artificially difficult
Really neat concept! I like the tension and stress over making your way into an unknown room with only a few seconds on the clock to find a charging station. However, that element of tension is also a bit of a downside sometimes- it can lead to trial-and-error scenarios where you cannot foresee the consequences of your actions. This makes the puzzles a bit less about thinking and a bit more about just trying stuff, which is a shame since the base mechanics here are really compelling. Additionally a little bit of feedback on the generators (for when the gate opens) would be nice.
Overall I really liked this a lot! The lighting is great visually, and the piano soundtrack is perfect for this kind of game.
Beautiful art. Found it fun to play and managed to finish the whole game! :D You had simple and clear systems and used those well in the game. I wish you could have seen more... maybe a trail of light or something, or parts where you would light up more area, like you light up some lamps.
Overall it was a pleasant playthrough and a well made small game!
I don't like puzzle games, but this one had me hooked. Good background music, a clever build-up of level difficulty where the player is first introduced to the mechanics and then given the opportunity to use them in practice, great graphics, and simple but addictive mechanics. The sound effects are not that good, but this is made up for by the aforementioned advantages. Great game! P.S. This could grow into a full-fledged project that I would like play :)
Maybe add some more colour difference with walls and floor. I had trouble seeing where corridors were due similar colours and patterns. To tie timer better with urgency you could start dimming the ball with timer (non linear curve)
I enjoyed this - though some of the time it felt that the game was playing on its own and I was completing the levels but luck :smile:
I enjoyed the relaxed mood of this and would like to play more!
The game is awesome! It looks amazing and sounds wonderful, but the puzzles don't get easy on me and I have to restart levels over and over. Thanks ^_^
Looks great! At first I found the darkness and short time limit frustrating, but I actually grew to appreciate both after a few levels. It definitely makes the puzzles more tricky, but also requires a different set of skills from the player than these sorts of puzzles usually do. I like the theming and style.
I like it. The concept is nothing new but the presentation is really well done. The exploration of the level is a really fun part. I had a hard time seeing anything even with full brightness on my pc as the sun was up but now it feels really calming and moody (and of course i can see the level).
Not much bad to say i think - maybe the sound of the gates could be a bit more quiet as they are pretty loud.
hey great stuff – I really like the idea but it's hard hahaha... nah to be fair it makes it addictive but it gets hard quickly
Very relaxing game and I really enjoyed the puzzle elements, visuals looks great and the music is very ambient. I think the walls could standout a little more than the path but overall a very pleasant game.
Fun puzzle game. The 10 seconds timer makes certain puzzles very hard though.
