A really polished puzzle game where the limitation of 2 colors are cleverly baked into the gameplay, paired with the smooth animations there's not much to ask for besides more levels.
Another polished puzzle game. I love the level and plant design. The OG RGB colors might need a bit tuning as it does not contrast well with the black background. Especially the blue one.
Interesting game! Some color combinations make it a bit too dark, at least for me. I would have loved a speed-up option, like a button to let the player sprint
Very good game!! The light-puzzles are very creative and the I love the art and the atmosphere. I had a very fun time playing it, good job!!
If you want to try my humble game too, I need some feedback ;)

The gameplay is simple and intuitive but the color puzzles working with the 1-bit restriction is genuinely an inspired implementation. Other objects like the boxes and the plants also working with the light is a clever and intuitive extension of the mechanics that makes the game more interesting. These different mechanics and difficulty of the levels are well paced, which makes for a pleasant and cozy experience. Personally, I wished the plants were used a bit more as actual gameplay pieces in the levels.
All the artwork is very nice: the alien plants are vivid, the environment is cozy and all the streamlined shapes fit the sci-fi aesthetic of the game and the player character seems like a chill guy. Also the way the “UI” is implemented through phrases near the levers is very clever and keeps the screen free and the “RGB” tracking at the bottom is nice for clarity.
The music is also fitting for the space theme, with a bit of a funky/groovy vibe to it. The upbeat feeling it gives rounds out the experience very nicely.
Overall a very enjoyable game that makes use of simple gameplay patterns in clever and unique ways, providing a chill, and polished experience.
Loved the game, the visuals and the music where so charming! I was very impressed for such a good atmosphere and also it was really fun to play, I liked the mechanics very much,
Excellent! The use of color under limitation was fantastic. Sometimes I found boxes/doors not being labeled with what color they correspond to to be a bit annoying to work through, though I understand that information being obfuscated is required for some puzzles to work. Music was also great. Congrats on this great entry!
Great puzzle game! The vibe is awesome, super chill, and the 1-bit implementation and concept were great. The game feels very polished and was a lot of fun to play.
It's a good puzzle.
I liked the idea and implementation of color switching (although pure blue seems too dark).
It took 9 minutes, and 1 restart (at a level where I had to think outside the box).
Simple and good one.
Thanks for the feedback! I was worried that both the blue and the unlit states would be too dark, and I think it's worth rethinking those based on your feedback and some of the feedback from others.
5stars on everything, that was so cute and fun and beauty aaaa hope to see more!!!
Wow, this is such an impressive and polished game for just one week, loved it! Beautiful art, cosy atmosphere and music, and perfect length for a jam game. The encouraging messages were also just really nice :) I like the creative use of colour while keeping within the 1-bit restriction. Amazing work!
Really loved the level design, the art, the Little Guy alien character and honestly the whole vibe of this game, amazing job! Felt incredibly polished for a game jam!
Very well executed and used the conditions properly. Loved how you designed the level and simple game design..
Love the concept of a puzzle game based on the RGB spectrum. It also has such great room for expansion! And so polished, amazing. I would say the one thing this game lacks for me is something akin to "sprint" (or just increased movement speed); the puzzles were neat but a lot of my game time was padded by just slowly walking between the buttons, already knowing exactly what to do. Worth it for the art and visuals tbh.
One of the best ones I have played so far, simple mechanics with a super interesting concept, and the execution is perfect as well. Game feels smooth and fun to play, nice polish, and just overall a well made game. Great work! If I had to get nitpicky, I would say that the boxes should have a way of letting the player know which light they would be affected by. It was not a problem at all but could be a nice QOL addition. The tutorial was good and the play time was perfect. As soon as I thought that the game should end, it ended. Banger job overall!
You had a week, and you thought "I'm going to make a puzzle game that feels like people paid for it". Incredible. Really well done. Great polish. I did not consider using 2 colors that could change. The puzzles were fair, the tutorial was quick and explained well. Really excellent work.
having the 1-bit constraint inspire the lighting mechanism and the bloom theme inspire the flowers mechanism is crazy, great idea and great game!
Clever how you managed to sneak multiple colours into a 1bit jam and also base the gameplay around it. Took me less than 10 minutes to beat which is about the correct time for this type of game. Good art, and well designed difficulty curve. only critique is I wish the character walked faster. Well done :)
I LOVE YOUR GAME SO MUCH!!! What such a minimalistic, yet challenging puzzle here! The mechanic is simple yet impactful, the flower change on each color really light up the experience far more! And the level was challenge me to think and enjoy how beautiful the game! Great work here!
Lovely puzzle game! The overall atmosphere felt cozy and engaging, and I really liked the soundtrack along with the simple yet charming animations. The animations feel very satisfying, and the smooth color transitions are pleasing to the eye.
