This is a really neat concept! I do wish it was a little longer, though... it ended as soon as it started getting interesting. Also, I found the gameplay in the last two levels mostly ended up boiling down to lining the laser up through trial-and-error, removing any puzzle aspects from the game. I think you have a strong idea here, but it could use some polishing and new level designs to make sure it's used to the fullest.

10/10 across the board. my only complaint is that there's not enough levels

I love it! The music, the concept, gives me portal vibes. 

Submitted

This is a nice prototype, great entry as for the first time!

I couldn't get past the level where you can zoom in/out, so I didn't understand the full range of mechanics, but with that it looks very unique. Good job!

Ho wow, the concept is nuts!

When I arrive in the stage that request to "zoom" inside you and adjust the position to get the beam at the rigth spot, it was mindblowing and super rewarding.

If I can give a feedback, make the "insideout" gameplay way before in your gameplay, its your Hook !

(I almost quit on the previous because I almost didn"t manage to put the miror in the right angle (it was a lil clunky and the beam didn"t reflect)

The spider controls and ridding walls works realy well too, it was super well executed !


Great entry and in 48H its amazing !

Yea if I had an extra day I could've fixed that bug! I probably should've just taken that level out to be honest so people can get to the zooming bit. Ah well, lessons to be learned for the next one!

Interesting puzzles and not repetitive. Good game overall. We also made a puzzle game if you are interested in checking it out we would love your feedback

Cool mechanics, controls, and puzzle!

I like the idea! Its well made and I am surprised at how many mechanics you were able to add! 

Submitted

Nice game ! The "spider" controls of the character are cool  !

Submitted

Very cool! Unique concept

Submitted

The soundtrack is very relaxing, and I enjoyed the use of reflections and terrarium scale for the puzzles, though I found it pretty hard to understand how the terrarium scales relate to each other. Overall nice job for such a short time entry!

Submitted

I like the general idea of sightlines puzzles, but I think you need to rebalance those - the first few puzzles I played through were way too simple, and then they took a hard pivot into being way too physics-based - I think you've got a solid foundation for something interesting here, but I'd see if you can dial down on the physical aspects (the Shift movement and throwing didn't really help either) :p

Submitted

I don't know what to do there where you first get the note, that you can throw stuff more gently with shift, the reflector just doesn't reflect anything when on the ground. But it works for a short period of time when I throw it. I think it's a bug, but maybe I'm just too dumb to get it. xD Besides that I like the concept and graphic of the game. :)

Ah yea that's a bug that seems to come up infrequently that I didn't have time to fix :( thanks for playing anyway!
