I was confused, I cannot find the 2 other signals, but the game was quite fun actually. The graphics are good, the sound and music are okay, there is actually a rather quirky mechanic right there, good job!
Cool mix of exploration and puzzle platforming with a surprisingly tough end game section! The only “bad” thing I could come up with is remembering which door is which is kinda tricky a bit, but that is just skill issue I guess. Also that platform is evil.
Graphics wise there is nothing not to like here, you have cool palettes, sprites and even a cool bike!
Music and sfx were great!
Overall a cool idea executed really well!
I had fun playing this! Really liked the exploration and adventure aspect that this game had. However, I do kinda wish there was like an item you could collect similar to the laser gun to show the direction of where you need to go since I've did have some trouble finding a few of the towers but it probably would've lessened the exploration vibe of the game. Overall though you did a good job!
Good job Yami! The laser pen was a great idea, really created for a few fun moments. Re: getting a bit lost someone else mentioned, I definitely felt that too. Maybe just creating some larger landmarks on the map could work as visual queues for important areas without being too direct?
I didn't beat the whole thing but doing the Snowgrave route in this was very fun! Also i like the addition of the bike, its badass. Great job!
Very fun and solid entry ! A complete adventure !!
The stone laser mechanic is clever, and I loved the variety of levels offered (puzzle, platforming, run). Driving the Huge moto was a blast !!
I didn’t find the last tower:/
Hey! Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it!
The last tower is inside the black hole which appears on the map once the 4th tower is activated.
I thought something like that might happen, so I went over the whole map several times, but nothing appeared. Maybe it’s a bug? :/
So this interactable didn't appear?
if it appear i didnt saw it. i was looking for a giant black dot
I may then change it to "PORTAL" or something like that in the text later or update the graphics of it. Thanks for the feedback!
Loved the visuals on this. Driving the motorcycle was fun too. If I were.to add anything, maybe a pointer to the rest of the towers when you're driving around? It'd make it a little easier. Great job!
Glad you like it! I think that having a pointer would break the immersion in some point. But yeah, I could've added an optional compass item or something like that.
