Great visuals fit the environment/premise of the game. There could be a better-layered sound since right now it feels a bit dull(?). It could've also fitted the theme better/deeper I guess. But is something which can e published with a little more polish.

Thanks for playing)

Great music and cool distortion effect. Distortion was applied a bit too heavily to appreciate it.

Developer

Thanks :)

Cool graphics and effects. Puzzles pretty simple, maybe I would to use the computers as a part of puzzles.

Polished, atmospheric, good-looking puzzle game.

Developer

Thanks!

That's a real cool little puzzle game. I like the whole style and the level design. 

Wish there would have been a few more levels. Felt as soon as i got all mechanics (which you perfectly introduced step-by-step) there was only one level, to really solve something. Also could have been a bit more difficult.

One little thing to improve maybe: For my taste, the texts disappeared always a bit too soon.

But all in all for the 7 days, that is a real well polished, short but fun games, with a nice background story. Great job of both of you!

Thanks you so much for the review! We will defenitly increase the text time :)

Really neat concept! I love how each puzzle worked! As other people have mentioned, the effects were a bit hard on my eyes, but I understand that it's part of the storytelling. Maybe just add an eyes-strain warning or something and you should be fine. Great game and definitely worth playing again!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the review! We will add an effect option in the settings of the future version of the game.

Very fun game like others said the effects were a bit much at times but other than that it was great :)

Thanks!

Loved the idea of connecting cables and similar puzzles, different so far from what I've seen on here :D The music is awesome, very cool that it's in-house. Some of the effects were a bit overwhelming for me but otherwise it's a cool game! 

Developer(+2)

Thanks! We will add an option to turn them off/minimize them after the jam

I really love the atmosphere and music in this game ! The screen effects got a bit nauseous in the end but I get that's what you were going for.

Overall a really solid game, nice job !

Developer

Thank you!

Fun game! I enjoyed looking at the graphics and the draw effect for unlocking doors is a sweet touch and unique. Good job with this.

Developer

Thanks :)

I had fun with the game! Although it was short and on the simpler side of things and actually made me a bit nauseous with the effects at the end haha. The effect while dragging the cable looked very nice, no, the game overall had really vivid and beautiful graphics. Nice, short, solid jam entry!

Developer

Thanks!

Very good game and easy to control. cool music)

Developer

Thanks for the review!

Art and music is very good, overall a solid game. Drawing the power cable was very cool too. I think the levels were a bit big and simple but for a game jam that's to be expected. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks!)

Submitted(+1)

Very cool experience, I liked the possibility of "drawing" with the cable, and the pixelart and effects look really nice.

I have to say that the post processing was a little bit too overboard at some points and it made it a little annoying to play, but other than that and the fact that the theme could maybe be done a little differently it was a cool game, congrats!

Developer

Thanks for the review!

Nice game, I like the graphics and loved the soundrack! 

I feel like the rooms are a little too big and the puzzles are just a bit too simple, but overall it was fun!

Submitted(+1)

I really liked all of the different puzzle mechanics, and the fact that you had to combine them to win. I also loved that in the final room, the counter on the top left goes insane.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! We did waste a lot of time on our effects :)
