Awesome game! The mechanics, and art are fantastic! I also enjoyed watching other people play it, great way to bring the theme loop to life!
Love the game very polished!
Just a bit of a personal preference, I prefer to play the game and read the instructions after if I'm stuck ๐
A skip button for the first instructions would be appreciated!
Good job ! ๐
This is a fantastic implementation of the programming-loop game genre. I got a little stuck on some later levels but the "aha!" or "wait can I..." moments were soooo good.
I looooooove to hear that ๐
It was very cool watching you figure out the puzzles during your live, thank you for showcasing our game!
really awesome game, greate art, mechanics, audio, love it!
This was fantastic. Really solid ramping up of difficulty while introducing clever new mechanics and layering them with existing ones perfectly.
Artwork on the title screen is also wonderful.
Very well integrated looping mechanic! Took me a second to get the purpose of the 'infinity' switch, but got it after I saw it run once. I also really liked that you showed some of the obstacles and how they worked without needing to interact with them in the first couple of stages - it made them easy to understand later on. Great level design, great submission.
Good puzzle game, but my limit was level where you get 2 switches.
Seriously underrated game! Concept is unique and the levels are fun. I wish there was a level select or save feature because the levels get so challenging from the time the switcher is introduced, that I feel like I need to take a break to come back to it later. I made it all the way to (level 16 i think?) when 3 switches are allowed, but i got brain taxed lol. That being said, it's impressive how much content you fit within the span of the jam.
I'm also a sucker for UI and yours felt very well polished, from the colour balance, to the font, the corner frame lines around the main game window/container that make you feel like you're looking through security camera footage, the shadows on the control panel, (and more... ๐คญ).
For non-windows people - you can run the game through steam!
1. Download the .exe and add it to steam as a non-steam game
2. Right click the game in the sidebar of Library and go to properties
3. Go to compatibility and click "Force use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and choose Proton Experimental
4. Run the game
I'm on Linux and it worked flawlessly. I believe it works well for mac as well.
Thank you very much!
I'll add a basic save feature once the voting is over. We didn't prioritize it due to time constraints, but I agree it's important to allow players to take breaks in this type of game ๐
As for the UI, all credits to Basilio Moya (redh_art on Instagram) who spent a lot of time perfecting all its details (he also made the beautiful illustration you see at the start of the game!)
I was not aware you could do that with Steam! Thank you for sharing, hopefully we can reach out to more players thanks to your tip ๐
Great idea and executed really well! I appreciate that you ease the player into the mechanics, but I think progression was a little too slow. A couple of the early levels could be axed and create a much more streamlined experience to get players into the real puzzles more quickly. But great overall, thanks for submitting to the stream! VOD here with my full gameplay.
Thank you so much for showcasing our game!
I unfortunately wasn't able to watch you play live but I really appreciate you taking the time and giving us more visibility.
And I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Now that I've been able to do a few playtests, I think I agree with your point. I was afraid to scare players away or lose them with confusing mechanics if I introduced them faster, but I've overdone it a little bit..
Amazing game, this is one of the only 5/5 I gave this jam. Polished, great puzzles, intuitive interface, it was very fun! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much โบ๏ธ
Nice job! Really cool submission, congrats:)
Very solid work. The game art and mechanic are really stand out.
Really nice game ! I reached the level 19, but god, I don't know how to beat this final level. Is there a solution to it?
The console on the right is good, love all the interaction with the button. The level design is impressive, I expected to be unable to predict the right move with a grid so big, but it went smooth, the solution are logical and give a good feeling.
Well play to all your team
Thank you for your kind words โบ๏ธ
Even if the final level looks like mission impossible, there is indeed a solution to it!
I promise ๐
I finaly found the solution !! (with some help)
