Unfortunately, I never figured out where to go next after picking up the second block. Otherwise, the game is delightful! The music, the visuals, the mechanics—everything is just great!

I got the blue speed boost block and fell, but the plug that raised the bridge was stuck somewhere off-screen above, so I couldn't lower it again. Either I'm missing something, or I managed to softlock myself =/

Still, as my friend mentioned above, it's a great game!

@aterim Thanx for the feedback! Yes, unfortunately softlock situations are possible. For those cases there’s a button on the right that returns you to the last checkpoint.

Seriously, what a great game, it's absolutely amazing. I didn't have enough stamina to finish it in one sitting, but it already feels like a fully finished game. I'd honestly buy this on Steam right now. The quality is just insane, you guys must have a ton of experience. Totally blown away!

Any glitches or confusing moments are totally fine and easy to look past. Though there was one part where I got stuck and didn't know what to do after getting the second block with the extension cord. Speaking of that block, it might be better to change its plus/minus buttons to something like wind/unwind icons, just a thought.

Also, getting stuck got me a bit frustrated, so I ended up crushing the car with the elevator. Here's a screenshot of what happened, check out the wheels haha!

But overall, rooting for you all the way!

This is a very unusual puzzle! I like it. Great job!

This game reminds me of two games: *Plug & Play* and *Bad Piggies*!

**Pros:** - Beautiful art style! - Really creative puzzle mechanics! - Fits the theme perfectly!

Overall, a really polished and well-executed game. Bravo!

I love the puzzle design.

Sometimes the plugs overlap on top of each other and then it's a bit annoying to pick up the right one, and I've definitely also noticed some softlock states (which are, granted, mitigated by the "reset to checkpoint" button), but it feels really clean and polished. Very nice.

I liked so much the modules mechanics and how you use them to solve the puzzles, it's a great game, I want more!

I love this game; it’s visually very appealing. I find the design and the "hand painted" style of the assets beautiful, and the sound effects are great too. The concept and the mechanics connecting things together or using the modules on our "vehicle" were really fun; it genuinely felt like I was operating some very old technology jaja! Congratulations, great work!

@emaigualmc2-art Thanks for the feedback! The main texture isn’t actually hand-painted, it’s handmade 🙃 photo_2026-10-23_19-00-38.jpgI tore up a piece of paper to create it and then processed it in Photoshop.

Super cool game idea! Especially the art direction. Game is godamn polished!

Such a brilliantly made game!!

Loved the graphics, music and the overall mood of the game so much. Congrats on making such an inspiring game that too during a game jam timeframe!

yezisoft 2026-10-24 05:55 ♥ 1

beautiful art! Cool idea! I was blown away when I saw how you made the textures!

kitmani 2026-10-24 09:51 ♥ 1

Great job! For some reason I caught vibes from Machinarium and Bad Piggies lol. Really pleasant mechanics, the way you developed the wire idea - that's just awesome! I also want to point out the hints that naturally fit into the level - that's top-notch. Personally I felt like it was missing a narrative component, like why we're doing all this, but overall it's strange to expect that from a game jam entry. In general, I really enjoyed this little adventure.

Most innovative game I've played so far, your entry is amazing: from the aesthetics to the music, everything is perfectly put together (nice job on the SFX as well). The puzzles are clever and you manage to twist the mechanics at the perfect time every time so that it doesn't get boring. Incredible work!

rocktavious 2026-10-24 14:33 ♥ 3

What an inventive puzzle game and great execution! Graphics and Music had great art direction. Tops marks in all areas.

ghettobastler 2026-10-24 14:43 ♥ 3

The mix of puzzle and traversal challenge is well balanced, and the solutions are always so clever! I also love the art direction, SFX and background music. With the handmade texture, it gives a beautifully eerie vibe. Amazing game, bravo! Screenshot 2026-10-24 at 16-57-12 Light Seeker by ingiorn.png

Great game, I really enjoyed playing it!

Best game I tested for now. Great mix of action and puzzling, used the cable mechanic to it's limits, while being really fun. And I am very surprised that I never encountered any physics bug, despite having tested some really strange strategies with the cable.

Wow! This is great.

The graphical style and subtle music, as well as tasteful sound effects, really set the mood, but it's the gameplay that blew me away. One of the most fun LD games I've played (for my own particular taste anyways). Really fun mixing and matching the parts to build a little contraption, and the puzzles were just tough enough to make me scratch my head without getting too frustrated.

My only suggestion would be to make the world a bit bigger to explore - I wanted to keep going after getting all of the parts, and never had to utilize certain combinations.

This game is amazing, my fav ludum dare 60 entry so far. The creativity of the gameplay is amazing, nice theme usage, cool graphics. Congratulations.

Well I guess we're stuck here now.

This game reminded me of my Ludum Dare 54 entry ***Time it right!***, and the *If you're curious* part about and idea I had for it, I think making your game with the screen zoomed in close up was the right call, anyways I entered the place.

Having two grappling hooks reminded me of Twilight Princess' sky dungeon and the music is also very Zelda dungeon-esque.

Overall it's a solid entry, shame that I got softlocked.
