Loved the art style and concept. My piece of constructive feedback would be that I wasn't a fan of continuously having to press the arrow keys to move. Moving when holding down would be nice. Also, maybe have a button/click cycle between the colors would feel less awkward
Sadly, I did get stuck on one of the elevators, but overall I enjoyed my time playing this! Nice job!
The design and the colors are really cool! Kind of reminds me of an old game called EDGE. I did get stuck on a few platforms and it initially took me a while to figure out even if I die my progress is saved.
Thank you two for your reviews, we wanted it to be a bit funnier with those weird key mapping but you are right I think that with a kind of wheel, and right and left click we could roll through the different colors would be better. When you are stuck, just spam the colors and the directions, there is some kind of weird behavior with the ragdoll thing. Thank you for those positives reviews
Absolutely captivated by the graphics! 🎨 The game emanates such a fun vibe. I really admired the innovative concept of switching between colors to progress. A tiny suggestion: it'd be great if we could just hold down the arrow keys for movement. And perhaps a simple button or click mechanism to cycle between colors? I believe it'd make the gameplay even smoother.
The puzzle exploration is fun and I **love** the visual style—really striking and illustrative. The particle bits coming off the bottom of the platforms are a nice touch. Well done.
gorgeous gorgeous game
Very beautiful and serene. My troubled heart was soothed for a moment. Love the choice of colors. I think the way the blocky world appeared to endlessly crumble with the cube particles was just lovely. The puzzles were pretty chill. I'm not sure If I was meant to hit the spikes in order to warp back to the start or if that was me exploiting. Lovely little game!
Aesthetically beautiful. I'd definitely recommend tightening up the controls as your fingers get a little cramped from control scheme. Interested to see how this develops with other conflicts you can add to the puzzles.
Very interesting gameplay, harmonious music and graphics, I enjoy it very much but the operation is a bit weird, the isometric graphics corresponding to the keyboard operation are a bit difficult to adapt to. Secondly, there are still some bugs, such as there is no response when stepping on the mechanism, and it will fall off the edge and become a two-dimenbug.pngsional form.
Very interesting game, had to replay several times in some places! Great job!)
Very polished and great use of post processing and minimlism. Love the aesthetic
Really beautiful game -- love the ambient music, clean visual style, and the particles coming off the platforms! I like the puzzle design, especially how old areas being blocked off with spikes once a color orb was collected pushed me to explore new areas.
The key bindings for isometric movement felt odd, and I did not like having to hit the C, M, Y keys to swap colors. Since the buttons for raising platforms look the same before and after pressing, I would not be sure whether I hit a button before or not. In one level, there was a color platform that was raised a bit higher than the surrounding platforms, so it was hard to get off of it. It also wasn't clear to me when I completed a level -- new music would play, and I would abruptly cut to a new level. At first, I wasn't sure if I accidentally hit restart on the level or if I progressed.
Lovely game, beautiful art style. And the music helped set a suitably surreal mood.
My only complaint is using the `C`, `M` and `Y` keys to select between the different colours. I know *why* you chose those keys, but they're not close together on a standard QWERTY keyboard, so trying to select between them often required looking down at the keyboard. I'd suggest using three keys that are in a row on the keyboard (maybe `B`-`N`-`M`) so that the player's hands can rest on them, but also being suitable for left- and right-handed players.
But very well done, I enjoyed playing this!
In the v04, in the third level, I keep getting stuck on this platform: 0.png
Thank you all for your kind reviews and for testing our game
