This is a nice little game.
Good job!
:)
I agree with what others have already said: the game is well polished, the difficulty of the puzzles is very good (maybe just slightly too easy on average?), and some of background track from Pixabay would help.
For my personal progress, I got stuck on this level until my kid woke up, and now I must do parenting stuff. Based on other comments, this sounds like the last level; and I just needed to figure out that doors are blockable? I don't think you did anything wrong with the puzzle design. I just didn't time to figure it out before IRL commitments got in the way.
That is the last level, yes. I was concerned the door blocking would be more of a logical leap than the other levels, and I didn't want people missing out on other levels for it. I am curious if you tried fitting the thrall through the passage in the right side first (or at all), or if you went for the door first. I widened the passage as a distraction and never got to playtest it.
Both ways, it does seem I'm going to have to cook up some harder puzzles, y'all are good at these.
Thanks for playing it!
Fire Boy and Water girl was definitely an inspiration for the final form of this game.
I'm glad the lights were a good moment. I opted to place them on all previous levels to make them feel normal and just part of the scene so it didn't pop out when you need to start using them.
Thanks for playing and for the kind words!
Thanks for playing! You're dead on with that first one, the level is constructed with symmetry specifically to encourage that conclusion, the player has to realise it's impossible and find a different way.
Another commenter brought up the last puzzle being a bit of a leap too, I'm going to test out some puzzles to sand it down a tad, and hopefully avoid feeling like the game isn't respecting past lessons.
