I love the arcade vibe of this game, the music is great, and the enemies are hard, great game!

A new QIX-Like in 2025?

Super cute! This feels like a game I'd spend hours at an arcade playing. Very simple mechanic, and I found it a lot of fun trying to figure out how to trap enemies in a square to remove them from play. Only thing I really wish is that the enemies reset to their spawn points once you died, it didn't happen to me during my play but I can see it causing issues if you die right where your spawn point is haha.

Great job!

This was very enjoyable! The music was a bop. The artwork was really great, and the whole game is nice, simple, and compact in a good way. I was so happy to see the gray clouds show up, because they did what I thought the white clouds were going to do. The premise of using solar panels was clever. Really nice work!

Really nice! It feels very polished and the visuals are great. I had a lot of fun playing this and getting angry at tiny pixelated clouds haha.  Good job!

there aren't many games that feel finished on here, but this is one of the exceptions.  the graphics are great, the music fits, the game is easy to pick up but the systems let you add a lot of depth due to the interaction between the level design, the player, the enemies and the timer/score system.  I think you would need a bit of extra sauce to make it fun for a longer game, like some power ups (speed boosts etc.) and extra square types (switches maybe) as it started to get a bit boring after about the 10th level with the main mechanics just being to move around; but for a game jam short game it's very strong.  The thing that immediately comes to mind is pac-man and how it changes modes from running away to chasing to keep things fresh. Obviously you can kill the enemies by surrounding them, but it still "feels" the same as just lighting the squares to clear the level.  So some extra modes/ideas that would "feel" a bit different to add some spice. Just thinking for like a Steam release or something like that, as it's a solid concept that you should do something with later on :)  A multiplayer online mode where you play with your friends and try to act like the black ghost and turn off your friends' lights would be really fun and maybe get you on streaming, especially if the game was free to play with some like booster packs or whatever for monetization

Great work!

hell yes. this was so good. ive been playing a silly amount of UFO 50 and i feel like this game could exist in there. great job!!

the music and pixel art was lovely and being able to circle in the clouds reminded me of pokemon ranger!

Ayo, it's succojones! Good to see you here! 

Anyway, this game was a blast to play! It's  a great blend of pacman and qix, polished to perfection. The music is bouncy and upbeat and the visuals have just enough life to make everything vibrant and pleasant. Well done!

Cute and fun game that builds as you get farther, nice job! I definitely didn’t get the strategy until way later than I should’ve, but it felt really nice to pull off.

It was fun, but I got stuck on the initial "press any button" screen for an embarrassing amount of time lol

Fun little PICO-8 Pacman-like game

Fun game, with good pixel art graphics, nice music, addicting too! Awesome work :)

Very nice presentation! The gameplay is deceptively deep, once you learn you can fill in entire squares by outlining them, and killing enemies inside, the game really clicks. Good stuff!

Very nice Music, Graphics and overall gameplay loop.
I hope you keep on working on it, adding new levels and so on.

I could see myself playing this game on my gameboy or NES back in the day haha.
Good job, really nice and sweet!

The gameplay was simple and satisfying in a nice Pac-Man way! The presentation was also really cohesive, it didn't feel like any corners were cut.

Solar Complex? I find it quite simple. Always love to see Pico 8 games

Fun and unique gameplay. Filling a bunch of squares at once was satisfying!

Lovely cute pixel art. The circling mechanic for bonus points and erasing the clouds was always satisfying. Graceful introduction to the mechanics for circling and the grey clouds. Very nice!
