I love puzzle games like this, and this was really fun. I didn't get through all the levels, but I enjoyed how complex they were getting. I did wish there was a way to speed up the energy traveling through the loops when I finished a level.
Really cool concept. The puzzles felt well made and I enjoyed the mechanics.
This is a winner circle contender. I like this and will end up playing more of this. Love the particle acceleration!
Really neat game! Great job, really enjoyed playing it
I really like the concept of this for a puzzle game. The difficulty curve is very nice, while still providing a challenge. Very cool game!
Really good idea! Loved the game though artwork could be improved a bit.
Very fun puzzles. I enjoyed the moment *spoiler* when I figured out that the pulse will always turn right at a dead end. Got stuck eventually at the first really big puzzle, but if I had more time I would have pushed forward more. Great game! The music you chose was also a good choice for a puzzle game, nice background music that isn't too 'in your face'.
Since you said you also want constructive criticism, a small thing I can think of is it would be nice if there was some indicator showing the progression you're making -- which could be as small as stating the level number at the beginning, or the level number / (total levels) indicated somewhere.
Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree, having an indicator for how far you are would be great to judge whether it's time to end a session or not. Also a level selector from the title screen, so once you know the "name" of each puzzle from the indicator (even if it's just a number), you can come back later and jump straight to where you left off!
Thanks for playing!
Fun and relaxing puzzle game!
Really enjoyed this.
really cool concept.
You took a really basic complex and made something interesting and challenging. It made me feel smart 💡
I like the final effect. However, it feels a little slow after seeing it a few times so a speed up/skip button wouldn't go unappreciated. Either way, I enjoyed my time here and title is just perfect!
Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree that the pulse movement and effects need some player-controlled configuration. Some people want it to play longer, and some want it shorter! Being able to click to skip is also a great suggestion with very little downside to include.
Thanks for playing!
Love a good puzzle game! Good ramping of mechanics over the first few levels as well. Congrats on submitting a game!
Super cool puzzle game with neat aesthetics and solid mechanics that keeps you hooked throughout the levels! The process of experimentation is fun which leads into a satisfying feeling when you get a working solution!
