Love the game! The dots style gave it a unique look, great job!

The game is very intuitive. I didn't need to use the "click" mechanic to finish the game.
I like the music, it's calm and mysterious, and matches the vibe of the game
The design of the character is really nice!

1. Use the light to clear the path so the character can reach the goal
2. No. Room 3 was a bit challenging, but I was able to cross it after a few tries
3. Right away I tried to use the light to reveal the platforms, and the reverse progress bar was enough to tell me they would not be solid for long

My game is https://csmaxx.itch.io/somebody-stays , and I really appreciate that you've already played it :)

Congrats on beating the game, and thanks for playing! Gus is one of my favorites as well :)

Hey SilverWeaverDABeaver, thanks for playing the game and reporting the issue.

I usually play the game on full screen and I missed that.

I just pushed a new update that fixes the problem. Hope it’s much easier to see now.

Thanks for helping make the game better!

Me too! :)

Oh I like that! A secret reward for players who manage to get both out. I’ll think about how to make it work and secretly add it. Thanks for the suggestion :)

RenZBuzz, thanks a lot for taking the time to play and to write such a kind comment! I really appreciate, and I'm glad you liked the game! Together we live!

Oh great catch! I pushed a fix for that.
Thanks for playing so carefully and helping make the game better!

Every run of Somebody Stays ends differently: whoever walks out of each chamber carries on to the next, so the subject who finally grabs the key is different for everyone.

Tell me about yours:

• How far did you get?
• Who made it to Surface Control and saved everybody?
• Who did you leave behind that you felt worst about?
• Which chamber was the hardest for you?
• Favourite subject?

GreyGoldfishGames, thank you so much for playing and for the kind words, this made my day! I had a lot of fun building it. Good luck with your entry too!

Hey blueberry_pudding, thanks for taking the time to play it! No way, that’s awesome, great minds think alike. Drop a link to yours, I’d love to play it and see how you approached it!

Hey FlacoMX, thank you so much for taking the time to play! I really appreciate it. And you’re definitely not dumb, Surface Control is the hardest room on purpose.

I just added a hint system: press H and you’ll get a nudge first, then the plan if you need it.

Let me know if it helps you finally grab that key!

Thanks a lot for taking the time to play and leaving a feedback!
Puzzle 13 is a hard one for sure. I just added a hint system: press H in any puzzle and you’ll get a light nudge first, then the plan if you still need it.
I also moved that room near the end, so the learning curve is smoother.
Hope it helps, and let me know how far you get!
