This was so fun to play,  got my face all up against the screen! I have to agree the directional part was the hardest on me as well, maybe redesign the squares to look a certain way when they're upright. Great job, had a blast!

I made it to #2 in the leaderboard on my first try :D
It was interesting to feel how difficult the different puzzles were. Color you could pick out instantly, Words were not as easy in comparison and rotation was super hard! I think changing the font might help, or using some kind of symbols instead of text. I really had so much fun with this, very cool puzzle game!

nice game! it has an unique concept i didnt saw any puzzle games like this one

Its tough and fair like life. It also describes my life 100% Unpaid intern. 10/10

Submitted

Tough game but love the idea and the polish was very good. Especially the fade in, scanning and background animations and art. Music matched nicely and really enjoyed it overall

It was probably my competitive edge that drove me (which is why leaderboards are such a powerful engagement tool) but at the time of my review, I have stolen the top spot of the leaderboard (I'll probably get dethroned quickly)

I quite liked the idea and gameplay design of this submission. Its difficulty is well-earned and not just down to dumb luck. I did find out a strategy to quickly weed out the correct answer (not spoiling it for others though <3). However, I think there are certain visual aspects that detract from the overall experience. The background is pretty neat, but I found it straining my eyes after a while. Making it move slower would likely help to reduce eye strain for longer play sessions.

Overall a neat submission that I could see a small but competitive player base forming around if given more time after the jam.

Neat concept! I didn't really understand the rotation puzzle wording so I couldn't tell what exactly it wanted from me. The background is cool but it was a little tough to look at for more than a few minutes.

Submitted

Beautiful, but tough puzzler, that's for sure. The time limit made me wonder if just picking wrong would be better than trying to figure out which direction appeared the least. Maybe a dot on the directions so the eyes track directions differently than trying to figure out which words are rotated which way?

Submitted

Really unique idea. Was fun to play but the direction puzzle felt a lot more difficult than the other ones.

Thank you! :)
Yes, it was even harder before, but I am not sure how to make it any easier.

Submitted

this is an interesting concepts, congrats

Submitted

Fun but the difficulty balancing is off as the word puzzle is much harder than the colour puzzle and the rotation puzzle is much harder than both of then making getting a high score more about getting a round with as many colour puzzles as possible.

i cant see

Developer

right-click or space :)

Submitted

the text kinda unclear with everything going on in the background....

You should play in fullscreen because the game resolution is 1920x1080. I thought about that too, which is why I added the panel!
