Ranked from 14 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How have you integrated the theme "Freedom but at what cost" in your game?
A developer created a world, perfect to him, everything he wanted. His body gave up and ended up in this exact world, trapped there for eternity. Is this really the freedom he wanted to create?

Where and which 3 colors have you used?
I have used red (#ff0000), black (#000000) and white (#FFFFFF)

It looks nice but i sadly cannot say its fun, the maze was hella long and there was nothing interesting along the way, I was beggining to think the maze is infinite or something and this is some kind of troll to waste my time lol, but there was an hole to jump into after like 10 minutes of walking

Developer

Thanks for playing! The game is longer and you are supposed to navigate it slowly, could have made it a bit shorter though. The other levels should be way better. Ill be checking out your game as well!

Nice game. but I felt lost most of the time haha. I really liked the atmosphere. Although in my opinion, I think the game could give more info to the player about what to do

Developer(+1)

Thanks! The feeling of being lost is intentional, but yeah I ran out of time to add more voicelines to explain things better….. Thanks for the feedback! Your game is awesome as well!

If I were to rate this game based on exerience and emotions, it would come out on the very top of the jam! It's a truly amazing concept that is wonderfully executed. The feeling of tension and the fear of Red increases as you play, and discovering that Red was moving terrified me. Such a beautiful work )

Developer

Thank you soooo much for playing and enjoying the game! I really appreciate it! The feedback is awesome! I will play your game as well later today!

artstyle was very unique and background music made a vibe, but I didn't understand where to go orwhat i need to do:(

(in short, I got lost xD, but overall I think there's potential to do something with this)

I found a map in discord and reached 2nd level with it! (but without it I will not try to finish it, btw moving red evemies were terrifying xd)

Developer

Thanks for putting all that effort in to play it! Ill make sure to play and rate your game as well! But yeah, I might have to make smaller mazes next time….

Developer

Thanks for playing!

This game has a ton of atmosphere, and I love the smattering of raster points - this is really great! I especially love it when I started finding the moving enemies. I really wish there was more gameplay - maybe more focused levels instead of labyrinths, so it doesn't feel like a walking sim so much? Regardless, I love it, and I love the end.

Thanks a lot for the feedback and completing it!

What an atmosphere! The maze was too long for me, but it's on theme and I really like watching the world ppearing by clicking here and there

Developer

Yeah the maze is a bit too long…. But thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

This is really cool! I absolutely love the visual concept, how just a very small number of points is enough for the brain to say "yep, that's a full shape!".  Also really liked the contrast between wanting to scan more, and it (personally, at least) becoming harder to see the world as I did so.


Simple idea, beautifully executed. Nice game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Im so glad you enjoyed it! The whole concept of freedom, but at what cost is integrated that way!

I was bored after time and end up rage quitting but the atmosphere and the creative idea of LIDAR is amazing

Developer(+1)

The maze is long indeed, I will make it shorter next time. Thanks for playing it!

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the game, the idea of painting to reveal the path is brilliant, and I genuinely felt lost and anxious while playing lol.

Congrats!

Developer

Thanks! Might have had to make the maze a bit smaller….

I loved playing your game 

the theme use was very creative and imaginative

i am not used to of this genre 

but yeah

Thanks!

no problem :)

This game is very neat!

I've never played a lidar game, but seeing everything update in real time is cool. I like the weeping angel effect on the enemies as you lidar them.

I did find myself being frustrated at how slow I was moving though. I think it would be nice to have a sprint button that inadvertently speeds up lidars going away and how quick enemies move. It's a riskier form of movement, but also gives you the opportunity to move faster than a snails pace in a massive maze.

Developer

Thanks for playing! The idea is that you are slow, but yeah, I might have to increase the speed a bit.

Nice game but far too few checkpoints. Can't beat it. Sorry.

That's wonderful, my brother.
