This is really good! Great execution of a simple concept that leads to complex puzzles. I enjoyed the sounds and the graphics too!

Yeah, I like it when the game "writes itself". Thanks for playing!

I almost gave up on level 12, but when I figured it out it gave me the help I needed to complete the rest of the puzzles. Loved it.

Very creative game idea. It fits the theme very well. Like others, I couldn’t solve level 12, but I enjoyed every level up to that point. Impressive work. Congrats.

Good game, decently puzzles, could be a bit more challenging.  Really like the art effects.  I wish you didn't have to click every block to pick it up, would be nicer if just click and drag over picked them all up

Developer

Thanks, I agree about click and drag.

The style was cool. I really like the "Squiggly" start locations of the lasers and the level win sound.

Really like the concept, sounds and win condition! I finished all the levels! My main complaint was that most of the level's felt 'the same' so just employing the same general pattern/strategy worked for lots of levels. Would be cool if there were newer ideas introduced further into the game.

Developer

Thanks, I agree about the level sameyness.

I really like this one. I got stuck on level 12 I think. It’s the one that says “Not Minimalism” or something like that. Is there a quick way to change levels? I exited the game and now I’m back on zero. Great game though! Cool puzzles.

Thanks, I probably should have had the player progress saved as well.

In the Odin source, set (line 57) EDITING :: true to switch the editor on, there the arrow keys skip levels.

Wow this effects that feels satisfying after completing a level.

Developer

Thanks, you gotta give the player their fanfare!
