I LOVE THIS GAME! Everything is done so well, I just want to keep playing and looking at the levels.
Really fun and creative idea and way to use the theme! If you polish this game, some move levels in between that ramp up the difficulty a little more incrementally would be great - got stuck a few times. Awesome game
Great job! a strong and well executed design, in a funny and good pointed interpretation of a classic clichè.
Keep it up!!🙌
lvl designer genius!!
Fantastic!
This is the best "Theme interpretation" I have played so far. So clever! Awesome game mechanics. Great job!
outstanding!
10/10 Character Design. I have no notes.
Cool ! Very good idea, innovative ! Well done !!
Fun game! Slightly buggy but the puzzles were interesting and innovative.
Thanks for the feedback! The two bugs I know about are the light rays bugging out when you cross mirrors and the boxes not being pushable when stacked, is that what you encountered?
I like it, looks great and quite a challenge!
Great puzzle game and good music :)
A great mechanic for a clever, clever play on a cliche! The graphics are simple but effective. There's just the right amount of radiance to the light elements, and I love the little light charge up doodads. That design is just plain cool. Good choices were made with the pre-made sound assets, too. Nothing feels totally out of place.
The mechanic is such a good idea, and I love that the game didn't feel the need to hold my hand. It gives you the controls but lets you figure things out on your own (like pushing the boxes, etc). That agency made solving the puzzles so satisfying.
Also enjoyed the variance in jump vocalizations; that gave me a good chuckle, especially paired with how bouncy the knight sprite is. For what seems to be a one-man operation, this is a killer game.
My only suggestions would be to fiddle with the sound balance a bit and add some visual interest to the knight and the backgrounds. The light charging sound, for example, is pretty loud compared to the music. The backgrounds are also quite cavernous. Tossing some shapes and details in there just to mix things up would make a difference.
Thank you for your detailed feedback! Haha, I never pass up an opportunity to make some sound effects, so I recorded myself grunting and randomly pitch shifted them; I kept chuckling to myself when I put them in so figured they should stay! Thanks for the feedback on the audio levels, I found it difficult to balance as it sounded different on different computers / speakers.
Cool, this's one interesting mechanic. So simple.
Very interesting gameplay! Just don't know why the open door can't go to the next level
Thanks for playing! The answer is laziness; it was easier to have a screen transition than actual level transitions.
what an awesome concept!! love the interpretation of the theme and the execution is clean.
Fun game! The levels really made me put on my thinking cap. The sound effects were very nice as well.
Please become a game designer. Please become a game designer. Please become a game designer.
Now that's been said, great game! It was original and very fun! It's a bit weird to say, but it is very "natural" / easy to understand. When you see the light reflecting, the mirrors and the door, you know what you have to do.
One thing, I would just tuned up the volume of the audio a bit. Maybe it's just my computer though.
Other than that, it was a nice take on both the theme and the gameplay!
PS: Please become a game designer. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Haha, I'm trying to become a game designer, but it's just a hobby for now! Thanks for the feedback on the audio, I found it quite tricky to balance as it sounded different to me on different computers / speakers.
This was really cool! A great take on the cliche, great puzzles that get harder as you go along - the only problem I ran into was on the level with the moving platform, the platform got stuck and there didn't seem to be a way to fix it.
Thanks for playing! I'm curious which level do you mean?
Level 5 - I played again and it might just be me not being able to figure it out - I realized playing again that the sun powers the moving platform but when the sunlight gets in this position there doesn't seem to be a way of jumping onto the platform.
Ah yes, you might have to restart in this situation, although from the second step you might be able to get back on the platform to finish it. Thanks again for giving it a go!
Yeah. I like the mechanic a lot. Really appreciate the twist on the cliche, too.
