Very cool idea! The flat terrain made it a bit hard to see the structure. I think it would look sick if the levels had more of an organic geometry!

@fredrik-andersson Thanks for playing. And good feedback on the level geometry. Wanted to have statues and other decorations, but ran out of steam.

Interesting idea, would really benefit from at least some audio, there's frequently not enough feedback to get that you're even moving at all.

Very cool concept. I felt like a bat 8) I was a bit confused at the very beginning and finished the first level by accident, but then I understood the concept and managed to navigate without issues.

elemel 2026-04-25 20:51

@keysole For sure. Felt kind of bad for skipping on audio. Added the compass lines to provide some feedback for looking around. Got motion sickness before that due to the lack of feedback.

elemel 2026-04-25 20:52

@archaeognathus Thanks, that was the idea! The last level turned out the best. I should have gone back and reworked the first levels.

Awesome game, I really liked the concept of the game

reverdie 2026-04-25 21:34

The concept of the game is really interesting!!

Interesting concept but a bit hard to understand how to play in the begining. Waiting for updates because game have huge potential

Agreed that audio would really help this one, but concept and graphics area really cool. Nice use of dynamic lighting!

skiddings 2026-04-26 21:53

Cool visual effect :smile:

great idea and very good use of the theme. It needs something more to be really fun but there is potential with the base mecanic

Cool concept, can easily see the potential for how it could be expanded with more levels and mechanics. Audio from the echo source would add a lot to the gameplay like people have said. Great work!

Very fitting entry for the theme! I see a potential there - when I understood the gimmick for the third level, I immediately got curious with the game. Nice choice for colors - I could tell very well which way is the exit and where I started without explanation. Throwing felt a little bit unresponsive to me - at a certain moment when I click, nothing happens - I assume it's because yellow balls need to disappear first - but nevertheless is a bit off for me without any feedback. Still good job :)

Interesting work. Thanks for the new gaming experience =)

One of the few games I've finished here :laughing:

elemel 2026-04-27 21:35

@nuclme Not sure if I will make any updates. But thanks for playing!

elemel 2026-04-27 21:39

@shoalmuse It was supposed to look and feel more like echolocation. But in the end it looked more like pulsating lights that ignore occlusion and light both front and back. Which it kind of is...

elemel 2026-04-27 21:40

@daviiiiiiid That is fair. Thanks for playing and commenting.

elemel 2026-04-27 21:42

@daniel Was thinking about adding the usual: switches, doors, and moving platforms. Or boxes that you could push or carry around.

elemel 2026-04-27 21:43

@wallted There is a cooldown as well as a limit on the number of flares. But that could have been smoother, with better feedback.

elemel 2026-04-27 21:44

@zbrogdom Well played!

bereg 2026-04-27 21:53

Cool idea. It really needs sound, and it also needs more levels. It ended way too quickly, so I hope you can expand it after the jam. I really enjoyed it!

Such a fun little game! Graphically it was really interesting, and I liked the challenge of the last level a lot, trying to navigate the ramps without falling. Nice work!

unreststudio 2026-05-06 12:46

Short but fun little game ! The concept is really nice :)
