Short little puzzle platformer.

I do have to be honest that I did not realize why I would sometimes float to the top of a level. 
Getting the block to the desired location in the final level is also quite messy as you need to shove yourself into it midair when it's bouncing up and down incredibly rapidly.

I like that time was spent in making the visuals look interesting as well as music and SFX that are fitting the experience.

With some better player-directing and particle effects, you'd get something quite neat.

The controls were very nice! it was super easy to control the player, and i never felt like it was hard to navigate them! very creative puzzle stuff as well!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I’m glad the controls worked well for you!

Very creative puzzle platformer, nice jump, good sounds and music. My eyes got a little tired from the darkness, but I liked it cool!

Thank you for playing! Sorry about the lighting, that will be a change I make for sure.

Nice and funny idea, nice reinterpretation of the theme, not far from ours! Good job, I hope you will come and try our game!

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Cool physics-based puzzle solver. I like the minimalism, but also believe that the design language would benefit from a bit more detail; guiding the player.

I also ran into some issues with collision detection impeding my ability to pick up an electron on the first try.

Developer

Thank you for playing. I will look into the collision bug!

Atom and electrons are a cool take on the theme. I think I confused the game at the last level because the door didn't open when I put both electrons into their place, but it did after reloading the level and trying again. Fun game!

Thank you for playing, I will look into this bug!

I like your game about charged particles! We took a similar idea in a very different direction haha. Had fun with this.

Interesting and creative game with a cool atmosphere!

It was a bit tricky to figure out what you needed to do tough, maybe some more indicators or clues in the environment would help

Developer

Thank you for playing! I agree some extra environmental hints would go a long way, especially since the lighting is so dark. It is hard to take in the environment and understand the puzzle if you can't see it.

Pretty good level design and had some interesting ideas.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing, glad you enjoyed it, what did you think about the lighting?

I thought the idea of adding visibility to the player once they pick up the orb was interesting, but I didn't the change significant enough to delay getting to the swtiches. It's a fun idea, but it needs some small tweaks.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your input!

No problem. I Hope you've a good day.

Interesting idea to limit the player visibility based on having the orb, makes you not always want to activate switches immidiately. Pretty fun, though I got stuck on the level with 2 orbs and one box (I put the orbs down, didn't know what the box is for, the exit remained locked).

Purple areas launch the cube, you can use this to “pickup” the cube by putting it on your head, then there is a spot for it like level 2.

Oooh, okay! I beat it and the game!

Nice atmosphere, we had a similar idea here! Level were challenging, but solveable. I found it hard to get the cube upwards with the purple areas.

Developer

Hard in a good way or hard in an overly challenging or frustrating way?

Because of the speed? Collision detection?

Submitted(+1)

This is fun! I feel like maybe the area of light around the player could be a little larger though. 

Developer

Thank you for playing! I agree, about the light, it is a bit too constricted.
