In what way does your game fit the theme?
DUX & NOX is a game about solving puzzles backwards by figuring out the reverse sequence of movements that, when rewinded, become the correct answer :)
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all code and all assets are made by our team!

Amazing game! Adorable design and lovely colorscheme.
It is very challenging to think backwards which makes it rewarding to play!
Only feedback is that the glass breaking sound is very loud in comparison to the rest of the audio.
Thanks a ton! Glad you liked it, and I agree that some of the audio could have used some polishing for sure :)
Amazing and super fun game! Very unique!
Thank you very much, so happy to hear!
Nice game! It's fun and the gameplay was well done! Good job
Thank you!
The game is amazing, the way you executed the theme is on point. The artistic part of the game is really cute as well. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, that's really nice to hear :D
The Game Is Really Cute The Puzzle's Have A nice Difficulty Curve
Yay! That's so great to hear, especially about the difficulty curve, thank you!
This game is beautiful and so well-made! The puzzles were just the right level of challenge, and the art was stunning. I'm disappointed that I'm too small-brained for the last level though 😭
Thank you, this is so great to hear! I'm so happy you think the difficulty curve is balanced. The last level is horribly challanging, no one in our team has yet to beat it without the blueprint haha. It should have been put as a bonus level. You basically completed the game by completing the level before :D
(The difficulty bump between lvl 15 and lvl 16 is just way to big, unfortunately we didn't have time to make the levels that would fit in between)
This is gotta be one of the best game in this game jam. It was fun, and the changes of difficulty per level throughout the game was forgiving and it gives players time to learn the mechanics well. It was a simple but complex type of puzzle game. The graphics were good as well makes the play time immersive with the addition of the music that calms me down when I'm having a hard time thinking about what to do.
The only thing that bugs me was the launch of the game at the main menu, where I thought the game crashed because my mouse suddenly disappeared and it's now responding whatever I do with my mouse, but knowing it's a game i quickly press enter that puts me in the first level.
Overall it was so good, the take on the theme was straightforward but it works with how different the mechanic of the game is. Loved every part of it.
Thank you so much! And thank you for your extensive feedback, it really is great to hear! Good feedback on the mouse dissapearing as well. I'm glad you liked it and thought it was well balanced, and glad that you enjoyed the music. This comment makes us super happy!
One of the best games that i have played in the jam! I really love the game, everything seems to fit perfectly in the idea!
Great Job! 5/5
Thank you so much, this is great to hear!
Really cute game! A bit confusing at first though on the control.
Yes, sorry about the controls. It has definately been the worst and tricky part of the game, based on a lot of feedback. I'm glad you think it's cute though, thanks!
I played this game now for half an hour and i'm so happy that i finally got the 2-stones-1-button done that i will leave it for now. May play it further tomorrow. Great Game!
Wow, I'm super happy that you enjoyed it and very impressed by your perseverance! Thank you so much :D
amazing cute puzzle game, perfect for playing a couple of minutes a day. Great level desing, sound feels on point, the overall aesthetics feel so good 5/5 simply amazing. btw i also made a box pusher if u are interested :-)
Thank you so much, so glad to hear your amazing feedback! And fun to have a fellow box-push-game-maker haha, I'll definitely check your game out :D
WOOOOW its so funny!!
the idea is beautiful and at every level I always want to play! I just recommend improving the movement buttons (I had a bit of a problem)
Can you also check out our submission? Thank you!

Thank you so much! We on the dev team agree that the buttons were the "worst" part of the game, based on a lot of feedback. Do you have any idea how to make the controls better? Make it point and click? And yes, I'll check your game out :D
I was thinking if a point and click or you can improve the information on the frets. Because maybe a point and click could make the game easier :3
Yeah, when point and click was first brought up, it was late in the jam and I was stressed already and did not want to do any last minute coding that could go wrong. I felt like I had no idea how to make the point and click. Now I have a fair idea of how I could try doing it and am excited to try programming it!
This is definitely my favorite amongst all the submissions! Everything about this is great! I hope you all are planning to continue development on this!
Thank you so much, so glad to hear this amazing feedback! Also this is our first game/game jam, and we on the dev team are very happy you liked it! I will happily consider further development if there are people who are interested in that!
SOOOOO MUCH POTENTIAL IN THIS GAME! The visuals, the sound, the mechanic... This makes for a perfect commercial game for mobile if given more development time. Congrats on your first game, I hope you keep going through your game dev journey!
Wow, this comment fills me with joy! Interesting idea to make it a mobile game, we will think about that possibility! And it was fun hanging out in the stream yesterday :D
my brain is too small for this game. 5/5
I will admitt that we made a very confusing and mind-boggling game :P
But thanks for your generous rating!
Beautiful game. Well designed and really tight puzzles. Cute characters as well.
Thank you so much, it was a pleasure watching you play our game!
Thank you! Great feedback, sounds like you really gave the game a try. It means a lot :D
I love the vibe! This is really well made graphics audio and game play are awesome!
Thank you, that's so great to hear!
first complete 5 stars from me. It's absolutely gorgeous, keep it up!
Wow, thank you so much, this was our first game jam and first uploaded game, so that means a lot!
