The art style and puzzles are really good. Just a little bit guiding on the game and it will be very fun.

wow, this is a beautifully made puzzle game, and is not something i've seen before! the puzzle aspect was quite interesting, and i think the pacing of introducing new karma was well done. the controls were honestly a little confusing, which did make me mess up my spins a couple times, but its no big deal since you can reset ^^

regardless amazing job on this game; making puzzles despite being a puzzle lover myself is quite hard, and you did this in seven days!! truly amazing!!! and the art created such a lovely atmosphere which i think really enhanced this experience overall.

the idea is very creative and new to me, the art is super cool to, but I didn't really know whats going on , but this is still a great game, Keep going! ^w^

Very interesting puzzle game! The visuals and music are great. It was a bit confusing in the beginning, as I wasn’t familiar with the terminology used in the tutorial, but it was a good brain scratcher once you get into it.

Submitted

Nice game, a bit confusing tho.

Submitted

The visual style is superb—truly creative and original; kudos on the art direction! The music is lovely, too, and fits the atmosphere perfectly. Instructions are provided, but the mechanics (columns, rows, wheel rotation) are tricky to grasp quickly; a step-by-step interactive mini-tutorial would help players get into the game more easily. In any case, great work on the atmosphere! -Off

Really good idea ! I've only play 10 minutes but i think we can play it really more ! You have to continue it ! Maybe being able to play it on mobile ?

Sometimes I'd get confused trying to figure out which button to press to turn the wheel one way or the other

Submitted

The idea is very creative. It even reminded me a bit of our own game. I really enjoyed the puzzles they were very well designed. really fun Congratulations on the game!

Submitted

I love ancient Chinese and Japanese art, so this was such a cool and interactive visual language! Great job!

Submitted

Oh this is really cool!!  

I had no idea what I was doing at the start and I think part of that is because, though it isn't a complex game, there are a few mechanics you need to understand before you get started and it's tough just reading that in text.  But once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed it!

This gives me the same vibes as Libra, the Glorious Distribution with its chill vibe.  Its a really small game but I find myself going back to it to replay it when I want to chill!

Head's spinning right round, right round
Unboarding is really rough but great concept !

Submitted

This game is great. The mechanics are simple but can get complex by expanding on the different karma types. Below is my feedback.

I kept mistaking the rotation direction and end up using the wrong rotation many times. Its probably a me issue, but I would appreciate if there was an A and a D button on the side with a rotation arrow that reminded me of how it will spin. I ended up writing on a note bad that D was clockwise and A was counter clockwise just so I dont forget.

The visuals and audio is great. Looks really polished and fits really well.

Overall great game, I really enjoyed playing it.

Submitted

I really enjoyed this! I have to admit, I struggled with understanding what was expected of me at first, and the controls were difficult to keep in my mind, but I'm glad I persevered and played through to the end, as it was a nice little puzzle game! I also really like the art, I think your interpretation of the theme is very clever. (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Submitted

Fun puzzles with a really cool aesthetic! I thought the coin/lives system was really clever, and the music really got me in a meditative mood.  My one piece of feedback is that I wish the wheel and the rest of the game had a slightly higher pixel density. The cycle of samsara is a beautiful centerpiece for the game, and I wish I could see it in more detail. 

Submitted

THAT WAS SO GOOD!!!

And there was so much of it aswell, many lvls, challenging but not too hard, the music was calming, the art looks great! 

I love this whole thing! well done!

Submitted

At first, I had no clue how to control the wheel with that red karma, but once I figured it out, I managed to clear the level. Great idea!

Submitted

Creative, and fun! The controls feel a bit weird to me, but I got there in the end. It's hard to remember the key combinations for each action, however I think they somehow add to the game. Great job!!

Submitted

Really good puzzle game, quite simple but took me a little to understand fully. Love the theming of it being absolving karma. The sound design is really really good, extremely satisfying to press all the buttons. the only thing is that the visuals are just a little cluttered and the karma isnt as well highlighted as it should be, but that would be my only complaint. Got 33/33 and had a great time using my brain a little
