Super original take on the theme. I love the mechanic of finding the fuse, identifying the proper switch, and then making a safe exit - nothing else like it in the jam that I've seen! Nicely done, and I look forward to more!

And if you haven't had a chance to check out my game Foxy Boom Boxy, I would love your feedback on it, thanks!

Developer

Thank you dude. Maybe I will add more levels after the jam. I will give you a full stars rating for your game but I'll try it when Im back home. Unfortunatly I can't for the moment.

This year's games all have unique strengths, but this game is easily carries by the sound design. From the intro to the environments, the sound design makes the entire game an engaging experience. 

I especially liked the beeping noise starts when the laser sharts to show up, players can have a tell when it's safe to cross

Last but not least, the classic "rotating lasers" makes the last stage really tense, 10/10.

Developer

Thank you so much for sharing your feelings. I'm happy that you enjoyed my game. ^^

This is very atmospheric. The lighting and audio is quite good. I appreciate that the server is not required to reach the end, especially during the final level!

Great work!

Developer(+1)

Yeah ! You can speed run the game in that way but the number of the server is random so you do have lucky. Thank you.

I love it and love sound effect 

I would appreciate to see your feedback on My Game.

Developer

Thank you I appreciate.

Not sure I really understood how to play. I picked up the battery and flipped one of the switches (which then locked me out of one of the areas?). I would have liked a tutorial level or something to ease me into the gameplay. But the overall look was nice and good use the light extension!

Developer

I'm sorry for that. A description of the gameplay is on the game page. I m pretty sure that you do not notice the switch number. Thank you anyway.

The game looks cool and fun to play :o

but i didnt know what to do <.> i got the fuse and i tried to hit the switch after that, but nothing is happening >.<

There are 3 switches per level but not at the same place. The server where you can connect gives you a number for the good switch. You just try to find it (tiny number on the top of the switch) and pull it to activate the exit. Sorry for that but thank you anyway.

Pretty cool game concept. I was confused at what I was supposed to do at first, but once I knew what to do, I was able to beat the game. I wish that each of the switches had a number next to it so I know which one to press to beat each of the levels.

I admit this game is not very user friendly but thank you for taking your time to try to complete it.

Super cool atmosphere! The lighting was a cool addition and the mechanic fit the theme well. All in all, well done!

Developer

Thank you ! ^^

I really love the mood of your game, the lighting, music, fonts and graphics remind me a lot of dark 90's sci-fi. I couldn't get past level 2, that laser seemed very hard to avoid, but I enjoyed playing!

Developer

Thank you for sharing your feelings. I'm sorry for the difficulty. Luckily I'm limited myself to one laser per level haha.

Great game! I don't get what I need to do at first, but after I finish level 1, I got it. The background music and sound effect really make the game intriguing and gives feels.

This is due to my melancholia sci fi personnality. Most of the games I loved have a mesmerize atmosphere (Duskers, System Shock, Braid) so I try to make the same. Thank you so much I will try your game in return.

The art could use a little more consistency, but the lighting/shadow design was on point and it felt really smooth to move the vessel around. The environment and presentation kept me intrigued till the end

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for the reply. Yes, that's right. The fact is that I didn't have enough time to polish the game design so I decided to concentrate my time on the sound design.
