An interesting game!

  • Controls / UX: I had to remap the controls right off - the movement seemed 90 degrees off from what I expected. Once I figured that out, the puzzles became a bit easier to solve (in terms of movement). The restart level button was a bit misleading in terms of label - one might think you meant to restart the game instead of the level. I would clarify this. :-) Also, an undo move option would have been a nice addition for accidental movements.
  • UI: I love that you made a very extensive UI system. This is one thing that people often miss. The only issue I have with it is that it’s a bit… bare. Liven it up! There are some UI kits out there that would have been awesome additions to this.
  • Graphics: Not bad. Everything comes together rather cohesively. 👍🏽
  • Gameplay: I do wish more time was spent telling the player how the obstacles and objects behaved. Granted, its a puzzle game, so figuring things out are half the fun, but I’m thinking of games like Portal, where each new obstacle / mechanic that is introduced is given time and attention so that the player understands its behavior.
  • Music/Sound: The music was a bit… garish for my taste - I had to turn it way down. The song wasn’t bad, but certain notes sounded very buzzy and grating in my speakers. Separately, I wish that you had incorporated sound in your game a bit - moving objects flowers blooming, switches toggling, UI menu navigation, etc.

Despite my critiques, I think this was a very creative and fun game. Well done!

A really, really cool game with a really, really cracky sound. It somehow fits the pixel-style but it´s a still a little too cracky-crackin.  + the sound doesn´t loop.

For the beautiful rest: I love being a robot, definitely cool and the contrast between the dark world and the bright, bright laser is really beautiful. It gives this laser a meaning, holy shit must that laser be important.

I think the robot needs to be a little, little more visible, dunno a little brighter or whatever. The rest is stunningly beautiful :3

The most beautiful thing is the flower when it blooms. Cooles ever, love these flowing particles :D

Lovely art - Love the light streams and particle effects! Controls initially a bit confusing - and not sure how to reset a level if softlocked? - but I suppose that's inevitable with isometric grid movement. Pretty cool puzzles and good implementation of the themes. Well done!

It looks like there are two contributors to this? You can add contributors to a project by going into the edit game option, going to more, and setting admin rights to the other contributor, this way the game can show up as a joint effort for the both of you.
