Very soothing atmosphere with the music and lighting. The movement was a little floaty though, but aside from that it was very satisfying to set up the power lines! Great job!

Such an aesthetically pleasing game. Trying to navigate and hook up all the wires is satisfying, the atmosphere is spot on and the power also illuminating the path is nice. The movement is a little too slippery for what the game calls for, and it's not always apparent when there's a pitfall, but these are both pretty easy to adjust so I'm personally not worried about it. 

Good job getting something so cohesive and comfy done in the time frame!

Really satisfying, congrats for the solid entry!

Really liked the vibe and the music, only wish was that the movement was less flowy

Developer

Yeah I realized late that it was pretty floaty. Cave exploring on the moon I guess :P

Sweet game.
Very satisfying to play with the audio and visual design.
Managed to ace the game without ever having to delete a structure or restart.

Cute game! Fun idea too. The only feedback I would give is that I wish the circle of light around our guy was a bit bigger, it made it hard to tell if down was forward or death.  Alternatively falling could put you back at your last lamppost rather than restarting the whole level? Anyway, I really liked this one! Good job!

Solid entry, super satisfying sound design and gameplay! I remember seeing this in the discord and wanting to play it. The only thing that drags it down for me are the controls, which slow down the game immensely. As someone who's struggled with streamlined controls before, I understand, but getting the controls right is one of the most important things for a game.

An enjoyable experience. The biggest annoyance for me was having to keep switching between 1 and 2. I feel like the button pressing could be smoothed over somehow. Great entry!

Developer

Haha my friends said the same thing. Ran out of time but it would have made sense to directly map them to 1,2, and 3. Thanks for trying it out!

Relaxing game. Turns out I love bringing light to the deepest caves on chill music. Loved it!

Cool game! The puzzles are nice and completing a level while trying to use the minimum amount of poles is a great challenge. Having to switch between power, pole and delete did get a bit tiresome, and I do feel all of that could have been accomplished with 1 button. Still, this was a creative game. Great work!

Fun puzzles, if only i didn't keep pressing 'R' instead of 'E' XD

Super cute. Creative use of the theme and it has a lot of potential. Lighting is satisfying when you connect your lines.

camera movement made me nauseous so I only played for like 20 seconds. seems good otherwise lol

Cleared in about 15 minuets. Solid game. I think the levels could have been diversified a bit, for example making a path to a switch that opens a door, then having to deconstruct your path to have resources for the next door. Other than 2 drop down holes and one drop down that was two deep to get back up, their were no obstacles in the entire game. Still really good use of the theme, and the lighting  was done extremely well. Great work!

Probably my favorite use of the theme I've seen so far. The movement/controls were a little funky (I kept wanting to use my mouse instead of the keyboard), but getting around the level wasn't too difficult or anything. Seeing everything light up at the end of the level was satisfying.

Cool concept. The 2d lighting effects looked quite nice and I liked how the level would light up as you played and connected power poles. The movement was a little too floaty which made it a little frustrating, other than that good work!

Submitted(+2)

Really nice concept, lighting stuff up looks great. On the second level if you just keep running right till you hit the whole the screen just turns black, not sure if dying without reset or clipping or something, just thought would let you know. Overall really good demo, good job

Submitted(+2)

Very cute! It's so satisfying when the whole level  lights up at the end. I think I got stuck on the first big level where the camera pans, I jumped all the way down and my cable snapped, and I couldn't jump back up  to the ledge with my last tower

Thanks for letting me know. You can Press R to restart levels but I didn't make it clear in this build :P
Thanks for trying it out.
