Congrats on the project! Some feedbacks from my end to improve the game

I found the laser pointer to be sluggish. It moves way slower than your pointer, making it feel quite bad to control. And on the interaction, maybe there should be a clear visual tell on the objects that you can interact with and drag, the first block blends so much into the background I bumped into it without realizing it was even and object. All interactible stuff should be more visibly different and have a common language. For example: your laser is red, so make all these objects have a red outline, or a red interior, or something like that.

There are automatically moving platforms and draggable platforms, and they look the same, so it is kinda frustrating to step into one and wait, to them realize you have to pull, or to jump into a platform that suddenly moves out of your jump range because it was an automatically moving one.

I felt the battery system to be very frustrating too, it doesn't telegraph itself clearly enough, and then the box go into the void because of that and I lose progress. I'm still not sure if I find the system itself to be frustrating or the lack of feedback that led me to errors and then to retry levels.

On the visuals, It looks like the wall tileset have a thin red line between each tile, maybe there is something wrong with the import settings or with the sprite cut. Also, if you wanted to be strict with the pixel art, making the player scale up and down is really jarring, because you are creating different sizes of pixels, you could also try to apply some pixelization to the laser pointer visuals, but that is a bit harder and maybe over the scope of the jam.

I didn't pass level 3, I dropped the box on the last jump, which made me restart, and then I just quit haha, sorry

Anyway, congratulations on the submission! Hope this feedback helps and has some valuable info for you guys :)

Hey guys cool idea. I got to level two. I think there may be a bug that happens after you step off the moving horizontal platform happened to me twice while trying to get through the level I was on the platform above the moving platform on the right side and then randomly my player got thrown to the side. I managed to get the cube to the end of that level and it let me drop down but then the platform wouldn't go up. Is there something I missed? In general, I like the art style and vibe but a wider fov would be really nice and maybe more forgiving logic on the cube it was kind of frustrating having to go all the way back to the start, especially both times I got thrown off for no reason 

Nice portal-y style puzzle platformer. I found it very easy to understand and play. Some of the switches and platforms could use a little more clarity and consistency (ex, which ones can I grab with the gravity gun, vs the ones that move automatically). I got into a frustrating soft-lock at the end, but it was easy enough to replay through and complete it. Nice job!


Your game is included in one of the timestamps of this playtest recording

The ability to grab multiple objects makes the game very painful. I think it's in room 4 where we have multiple platforms and we have to transport a box from the beginning that the game starts feeling very hard. I loved the mechanic, as some have mentioned, having a way to only select one object or at least allow for intentional grabbing instead of "if it's in the circle, it's getting moved" could balance the game.

Apart from this, I enjoyed it very much

Really dig the art style and atmosphere you all have all created! The puzzles are a lot of fun. One small thing is that at the beginning, I thought I was supposed to use the gravity device to jump over the pit, not just regular controls. That was in part due to the spacebar art blending in a bit with the chalkboard. Overall, cool game. 

I liked the puzzle design on this. I wish the restart button just restarted the level instead of the whole game. I got to a point in one level where I couldn't get out, and restarted all the way back a few levels which wasn't fun. I think some music would really help the game feel. And some way to have dragging the block onto the platforms not move both simultaneously would have felt nicer too. 

But overall I think this is very well done :)

I really liked the lab aesthetic and the controls and puzzles were very intuitive. Your tutorialization of game mechanics was on point.

That being said, the final room is a bit long to backtrack through if you drop the crate and have to go back for it.  And, being honest, it wasn't very satisfying to complete. The final challenge doesn't so much test the players mastery of the gravity mechanic as much as it tests their patience.
