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.

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.

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?

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.
