An old retro concept. Amazing!!!!!!!

(+1)

Honestly love everything about this, the atmosphere created by the sound design and artstyle is so immersive and the mechanics are so much fun! I loved playing around with it until I got it right and the sound design for the grabbing and placing the factors was super satisfying, 11/10 awesome game!

Completed. Everything is great: Concept, art, puzzle design... I did have these "I figured it out... oh wait no... what's going on?! AAAHHHH, got it!" moments.

Triple ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for me

Loved this concept. It's fun watching how everything plays out with the different values.

Submitted(+1)

love the art!

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed it! The visuals are great and the concept of moving certain values in different slots (even in the level itself) is a really interesting concept. I'm curious to see how you implement this concept in a more variety of ways. 
If I have to give one point of critique, it would be that hitting the pauze at the exact right time felt a bit annoying at some times. But with some more balancing I think this is not a big issue at all. Overall, great job!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback! To make it easier to pause at the right time you can press spacebar and that helps with most of the levels.

Submitted(+1)

Yeah I used the spacebar but sometimes it still felt a bit finicky to me. Maybe it's because the window for the right moment is was a bit small sometimes. (I'm thinking of the level with the elevator and the drop with the door below it)

This was so fun to play on stream! Thanks for the submission :) 

I just love puzzle games, and this one had just the right balance of puzzle and execution challenge. There are so much more possibilities with the concept! Great game!

Nice game. Loved the visuals.

This game is so cool! The feeling when you figure out how to play was so cool with this one; I felt so smart, exploring the factors & the numbers. The polish is really good too! The atmosphere the filter creates is really nice; it feels like I could get so immersed in playing this game for hours. Great game!

Very creative and an interesting way to solve puzzles by having to manage things on the fly which keeps my thinking through the whole game and not set it up and watch it play out. This is really well done. I think you did this and I just encourage you to do it more, make a each new way to solve a puzzle its own isolate level to teach the player that type of problem solving is available to them.

Really unique mechanics! Visuals were really cool as well, and I hope to see more of this game after the jam! 

Submitted(+1)

puzzle design and the level ramp was sooo good. Also, very interesting and unique idea on platformer based on scale! great work.

Submitted(+1)

I haven't seen anything like this. Great concept, great execution. Unique vibe. Just a tiny bit problem of the UI.

Submitted(+1)

Make more, I would play it !

Great level design and polished concept. great out of great

Submitted(+1)

The best game I’ve played in this jam! Loved the mechanics, was simple enough so that it was easy to understand. The art style was great too! Like Colekinz said, think u can make it a full game!

Submitted(+1)

Super well polished I absolutely loved the scale mechanic here and really utilised the theme well. So much fun. The progression was also well balanced.

Submitted(+1)

Awesome awesome awesome game, this is so cool and fun and neat. The only thing I'd say it definitely needs is a tutorial, or at least a sheet of the controls, because there were a lot of ones I found out through intuition that made the game waaaay easier once they were clear. But yeah, this is really cool, you could make this a full game genuinely

Submitted(+1)

I really enjoyed the game! Love the style and the box mechanic. I think some of the levels are out of order in terms of difficulty but it was really enjoyable.

Submitted(+1)

Really cool idea and really fun, it's pretty hard to drag the boxes around fast enough I think hotkeys would help alot.

Developer

Thank you! I didn't have time to add hotkeys so I added the pause mechanic instead. You can pause with spacebar and swap factors around.

oh cool!
