Aw this is awesome. I had a lot of fun. Charming graphics and the main mechanic is clever!
I originally had a one light source game idea myself! Only it changed to be a projectile that is also a light source. My submission is a little rough and buggy but check it out, it's a first person puzzler ala Portal.
Haha! Your screenshots show literally the only two things you see in the game! Spoilers!
Eh, audio was kinda cool lol.
Loved it :) reminded me of a good turn based strategy rpg.
Like others are saying, the potential seems amazing here. Reminds me of my submission, which was also a simplistic looking FPS made in Unity. Please check it out if you haven't :)
Great graphics. You got a lot out of simple shapes!
Simple and fun! I also submitted a boomerang game, though it's very very different! Tell me what you think :)

Eerie little game. Like the moving tiles. Sound was good too heh.
This was fun! I also made a boomerang game, but it's more a puzzle game. Very different! Check it out :D

Fun, awesome looking game. Loved the soundtrack! SUCH a weird concept haha.
God this game is so good! Fun and addicting.
Cool little game! I made a boomerang game too! Same principle, but totally different game! Check it out :D

Great little idea. I'm glad you still pulled through despite scrapping your first idea. Good to see people trying their best. I'm sure we'll all do better next time, but good effort this time :)
Fun looking game! Like the frenziness. I also made a boomerang game, albeit quite different to yours! Check it out :D

Like the idea! But oh my god, awful controls :S
What the hell did I just play!?!?! You win with humor haha.
@hazzen
To me that stuff is a given, so I didn't add it as list of things I wanted to do. *Of course* I want the game to look pretty, be dense with detail, have sound, and feel atmospheric. I couldn't get any of these things done in the time though, obviously. The level design suffered because of that (large empty spaces, basic uninteresting geometry).
As I was experimenting with the game, I thought of a multitude of ideas that I thought would enhance the experience and make it interesting. Gravity changing would enhance the puzzle solving, it's not about picking one mechanic or another.
Thanks for your feedback!
@Venturelli
Yes I absolutely agree. First thing would be to fix the crazy physics and make the controls much more comfortable. Apologies to everybody for the messy controls. I was really strapped for time :(
@Dohan
Thank you! It was the very first puzzle I thought of when I thought of using a boomerang. I knew an important part of the game would be that your boomerang sticks to objects, even when they move. I thought the idea behind throwing it on a switch that then moved away from you would be interesting and cool.
Wish I could have made more puzzles, there just wasn't enough :<
@rogueNoodle
Heh you're absolutely right about the stairs. I've learned my lesson, don't worry :P thank you for the comment. I do plan to continually evolve this beyond LD :)
So good!
Looks great, I love the torch particle effect!!! Agreed with the wall thing though, it was very hard to see where to go sometimes, but if you fixed that then this would be quite the fun little game!
Hey since this is part of the 48 hour compo you're going to need to upload your source files too. Otherwise you won't be applicable for a win!
Neat! I also made a boomerang game, though quite different! Check it out :D

It's so hard! Can't get enough wood!!
Hey, cool!! I made a Boomerang game too!! It's a first person game, check it out :)

I used to be a loyal XNAer until I began work with Unity, and honestly, multiplatform + web player make it king. Might be worth considering if you're OK with a slight learning curve. That way everyone can play your game, AND with minimal effort ;)
Anyway, I did think this game was quite fun. Good job :)
Very interesting :) I only wish I struck a similar sense of atmosphere. Check my entry out. I was going for an Antichamber feel myself, but you nailed it.
