The visuals are great and the sound design awesome. The very first level had one really janky puzzle with the spikes, where sometimes you'd get through sometimes not. The rest of the game delightfully challenging and obvious what you had to do to survive. The pace was great.
Glad you liked it! The first bit with the spikes was meant to let players know that they have variable jump height, depending on how long or short they press jump. I can totally see the confusion though if you haven't played a game like that before. If I decide to update later, I'll put a notice to make that clearer. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for playing!
What a nice entry! reminds me to Will you snail lol, the only thing I can say is that is not easy but everything feels great, very polished, cool mechanics, nice movement, pretty neon colours, also I like how you show the instructions to play, great job!
This is amazing. I love the neon colors and simplistic art style, the controls being disabled is such a good concept as well. Well done!
God... I hate that I love this. The levels are really rage inducing but I just couldn't quit!
The idea is genius and the execution flawless! I think it has great speedrun potential too
So hard. So good. Love it! Concept and art are amazing, well done! It took me an embarrassingly long time to get through level one. The spikes and I just didn't get along
Very well made game.
Really liked the unique game mechanic of turning off some of the controls. Made for some interesting puzzles. I appreciated the neon-effect art style too and the mood the sfx and music created.
Not much to say on areas for improvement. Very solid game!
Thumbs up from me.
Ohh! The Neon Square has returned!
Turning off certain controls is a stroke of genius and really made for some interesting level design (which you did well!). I wasn't much intrigued by the audio if I may be perfectly honest, but everything else in the game was just top-notch, the controls, the responsiveness, the UI, the menu, the art, the level design, great submission!
I love how much I hated this game...
Very nice! The difficulty curve is pretty steep, but the levels are well designed and the art is great. Love it!
Looks and plays great! Awesome idea having a level in two directions. Well polished, could be a full game :)
Fun game!
Player characters are very cute.
Most innovative game I've seen out of a game jam (or anywhere) in a long time. This should be on Steam.
Game feels fair and fun to play! Was too impatient to keep progressing but love how tightly the level design is done around the control loss. Aesthetic of the game looks great too. Great interpretation of the prompt and implementation as a core mechanic!
wow it is a bit difficult but i love it lol gives me celeste feel. I will love to see some consumable buffs that restore my control so I can plan out all my moves before I act.
You all nailed this game. The controls feel great, tight, and responsive. The visuals are minimalistic but also stunning. The stereo sounds are so immersive and all fit together very well. The idea of disabling some controls temporarily is extremely well executed and the level design around it is very clever; each level had a unique twist to it, I never felt like any of the levels were filler. Small detail that was absolutely my favorite: The little blue fireworks at the end. Those put a smile on my face. :)
I'm thrilled that someone was able to make it to the end, that's awesome. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for playing!
Super difficult, but super fun! The controls feel great, and I love the art style.
Nice-looking graphics and jumpy gameplay make me want to enjoy it more.
Feels very clean to play and cool concept! unfortunately I'm not a good enough gamer to make it very far😂
No worries, it's a tough game. Thanks for playing!
Such a well executed concept! Waiting for the controls to be restored creates very interesting situations. The graphics are great, and the effects, animations and controls are satisfying and so consistent that they keep you playing even after losing several times.
This game was fun! Irritating, but fun. I was only able to get through the first couple of levels before giving up, but I enjoyed the repetition of the gameplay. I love the neon look, and the soundtrack is great! I love the way you implemented the count down too, makes me wish time would go faster.
It's definitely a tough game, so getting through the first couple of levels is still a nice accomplishment! Thanks for playing!
