Cool puzzle mechanic! Level 3 was really diabolical since you needed to be pixel perfect, but I eventually figured it out, haha
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the mechanics! I made level 3 intentionally more difficult to show how the meachanics of the game can be implemented to create puzzles not very obvious and more challenging (the first is a "tutorial", second introduces a new machanic and is a little more difficult and the third is to show how can the levels be real challeges). And I'm happy that you figured out how to make it :). I hope you had fun playing my game!
I like the idea. It reminds me of an old game I made once with mirrors. The game is interesting, but the controls are a little bit hard to handle.
Thank you!! Unfortunately you are not the only one with troubles with controls, I will change them after the jam to make the game more comfortable. Anyway, I hope you had fun playing!
A start of a puzzle game but a bit hard to handle. I like the idea of controlling two elements (laser & mirrors) and can certainly have some fun ideas with it. The difficulty for me was in controlling things as cycling through with left & right felt somewhat unintuitive to what I wanted to interact with. I also didn't see a benefit in having a turn off laser button.
My suggestion would be that 'A' (E) is rotate, 'B' (Q) is break, and 'Select' (R) quick resets the level.
Though if you do spend more time on it, I'd instead suggest that maybe select swaps between moving the laser and interacting with the mirrors, that way up & down can be used to swap to mirrors above or below and lasers can use A for turning off if it becomes a mechanic.
But yah, I like the idea I just wish there was more done with it.
Thank you very much for the detailed feedback! I didn’t thought about some of your ideas. I thought about the swaps up and down between mirrors but the idea came too late to my mind and there was no sufficient time to try that and do tests for me. For the controls I didn’t think of about the discomfort (Maybe I didn’t feel it) but think I can put a menu to select which controls do anyone want for each functionality (and I think I will put yours as default). The functionality of the laser turning on and off I thought I could use that with some more functionalities with other futures levels and it can be used to do one level without having the confirmation of the laser each time you rotate the mirrors (for extra optional difficulty).
Anyway, I’m glad you liked the idea and I will do more levels in the future! (I wish I could have done more too)
I hope you had fun playing! (Besides the discomfort with the controls)
Nice game it has an unique mechanic. At first I had a bit of trouble with the controls but that was just me.
Once I done a level it never went to the next level?? I always had to go back to the menu. The art was very nice looked clean!!
Thank you for the feedback!! I know about the levels, I will put the menu to go to the next level when the jam finishes. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to put that. But I appreciate very much that you liked the art! (I’m a beginner in pixel art) Thank you and I hope you enjoyed the game! (although the menu issues between levels)
cool Game!
IF You wont you can Rate my Game:)
Thank you for the comment! I hope you enjoyed playing my game! I will rate your game :)
Really wish you had it go to the next level when the chime happened but other then that I had fun. I liked how you did it and the mirror breaking gimmick was really nice!
Enjoyed.
I wish I had done that too, unfortunately I didn’t have time because of school. Thank you for the feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Incrível!
Thank you! I hope you had fun playing my game!
I am not sure if I didn't know what to do or if there is only one level, but I loved the puzzle game idea. I got the light beam to the first chest, and then nothing happened.
After you finish one level you have to go to the pause-menu and the menu to go on levels and select others (there are only 3 for now :). When you finish a level there is a sound and particles of coins that left the chest to simbolize the victory, unfortunately I didn't have time to do a menu that takes to the next level properly :(. But I appreciate that you liked the idea and I hope you had fun playing the first level! If you want to play the others 2 levels and don't know how, tell me or check the instructions in the description. Thank you for your feedback!
