It seems to be a great game with a lot of work and potential. Honestly I couldn't figure out what I was expected to do
I like the story and lil computer guy. I could not figure out the puzzle.
Great game! The art + sound design is pretty nice too :D (BTW, if you have some time, it would be amazing if you could check out our dev team's game, thx!)
The concept is definitely a nice way to fit the theme, good job! I just wish the intro was shorter, or skippable
I like the world where the game is happening. But the puzzle is too hard ! I know a little about neural networks, and I could not understand it completely. A more responsive UI and a clearer tutorial would go a long way here.. but congrats for the game !! If could check out mine, it is puzzle too =)
Thank you for the comment! Yes, it is definitely, not intuitive, it is my first puzzle game I attempted, and making a good puzzle game in that amount of time is hard!
Mmm… I like puzzles where you have to figure out the rules. But here, despite several attempts, I don't have a single clue about the logic behind! It feels like stumbling upon an end-game secret puzzle without having seen the part supposed to teach you the rules. x) Also it's difficult to understand what's interactive and how to use them. On my first playthrough I didn't get how I was supposed to use the companion computer, and I didn't see that you could interact with the panels and the number-thingy. Not that I know what they're for now. :P
I still must salute the effort. Making that kind of puzzle in a jam is risky! Especially with 3 different endings. The presentation is not bad either! I just wish I understood more this riddle.
Thank you for the review. I had a similar feeling when I got the game working. I is my first puzzle game, and now I know it was definitely not enough time for me to figure out a satisfying puzzle. There is logic behind the puzzles, but I agree it is just trying everything until you get an answer you want
