Thanks!
Yes, just in case you want another try: The mouse position is the direction you're shooting towards. The longer you hold down the left mouse button, the further the sphere will go when you release the button again.
With the right mouse button you can then detonate it, at best at the enemies position.
The sphere automatically targets enemies nearby, so there is a little bit of "auto aim".
Everything is really polished, very complete game. The story told is important in our lifes, Great job!
Thank you! Glad you liked the story :)
Great game, I liked the art and the voices!
stunning game.
Played and rated! Really enjoyed it, quite moving, lovely visuals, good gameplay with challanging (but not too challenging) puzzles, and really great audio design! Honestly my only cristism would be that the connection to the theme is a little weak
Thanks for the great feedback! Did you play until the end?
love this game!!! the mood and feelings are so good,nice puzzle design
That's really nice to hear, Thank you!
Great and fun puzzles ! Puzzles seems like logic gates in electronic lessons that`s why i really like that. I remember my university memories ! :D
nice to hear! Yes, actually the game is full of first semester computer science knowledge :)
Absolute masterpiece O.O I loved everything about it: eerie but comforting artstyle+sound+narration, interesting logic puzzles with an excellent difficulty curve, and super fluid combat mechanics. Plus the ending gave me the goosebumps. Huge congrats to the whole team and thank you for this amazing experience!!
Thank you very much for the review! It was exactly our goal to create this immersive and impressive experience. We are really happy that someone felt like we intended it and even got goosebumps :))
I like the puzzle system of this game. Also, I really enjoy the system of using light orbs to eliminate enemies.
Thank you, nice to hear that you liked the combat system!

This is the most impressive game I've seen this jam so far. It's so clean and plays nicely. Voice acting was done really well. Insane that it was made in 5 days.
Many thanks!
I love the game aesthetic visually stunning with the minimalist style, gameplay is simple easy and fun to play. The level design is great well balance and helps with me learn the mechanics slowly. The sound also helps give the vibe of the game to fit the theme.
