The shaders were super cool! And the puzzling was quite nice too, though I think I ran into a bug on level 20 where it won't solve even though all the tiles are black. Maybe I found an alternate solution that the game won't take? It won't let me retry either.

20 is the last level - there’s supposed to be an end screen, but I think it broke while I was trying to get the game running on webgl.

a great take on the classic puzzle I like to call “press random things until they line up” — I got to level 18 before my strategy stopped working. my only complaint is that I have to wait for the little flipping animation to finish before I can click on the next thing. awesome backgrounds and overall very nice aesthetic!

Geometric Dreams

HyeveDeveloper296 days ago

Yeah, I didn’t want to complicate the flipping logic, so I decided to just lock it to the animations so there’s no way for a player to break it. Does lead to a little bit of unresponsiveness sometimes though :/

Very polished puzzle game. It feels like a full game which is very impressive for the time frame.

The visual design is very clean and suited to the gameplay. It's vibrant enough to be interesting but not distracting. The music also pairs very nicely.

Great work!

Really cool design/concept! I love the polish and the graphics, but I do have a few critiques: I think the symbols on the circles don't really tell you immediately which ones they flip, which can make it a lot hard to construct a sequence of how to solve the puzzle in your head. I think that while it would be less elegant, if they had little arrows or dots pointing to the ones that they were going to flip it would feel much more intuative. I also think the circles flip a little slowly, but that's just my preference. Other than that, really great entry :)

Backpack Blaster!

Originally I did have arrows rather than the sliced circle indicators I ended up with, but I wasn’t super happy with how it looked. Definitely agree it’s not the clearest design though. Tile flip speed is something I also knew wasn’t perfect, but just forgot to go back and adjust.

This is another 5/5 candidate to me. The experience is fluent. The looks are good, without unintended glitches. And it is a twits on that game about switching adjacent squares on and off. As all the games I rate 5/5, I do it thinking that this is a game I would like to find pre installed in a GNU/Linux distro.

It also includes an quick tutorial, and can be included in the category of games that are "easy to get, hard to master". Perfect!

One of the most polished games I've played, you could probably throw it on an app store as is almost. Love it!

This is a great experience, the game is super polished and the puzzles really get you to think. It builds a great atmosphere.

Although there were a few times when I started clicking wildly (and still got the answer!). I couldn't pass level 15 though :( Thats still a lot of content.

Something to be proud of.

NO MORE SINISTER than sane

Florian CastelSubmitted297 days ago

Very nice and relaxing puzzle game. The shaders in the background are very cool, and the game looks very polished. The only downside would be that the aberration pieces feel very random. Of course, you can memorize them, but I prefer to just click on random pieces, hoping for the best and it actually worked for me well enough to complete all the levels.

I enjoyed being tantalizingly close to victory only to realize the one remaining dot will undo all my progress lol

I love games that focus on a single mechanic taken to its logical conclusion. Level 12 actually made me stop and grab some scrap paper to figure it out :)

Dimensional Snapshot

Avery HiebertSubmitted298 days ago

The presentation & polish is really good. I made it to level 18 before deciding that it's 5 AM and I'm too tired for puzzles and should sleep. Some puzzles seemed easily guessable, others required thinking, but in general the quality was good. Nice work.
