This is a super cool concept that I wish got fleshed out more! If you focus on puzzle design more and add more supporting mechanics, this could be the makings of a super cool puzzle game!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Yeah I think we are going to try to expand the the game a bit, we'll see

Sadly, I couldn't figure it out. But this game literally blew my mind when I figured out how it worked. The music is a great background for a puzzle game. Great Job super creative idea well done. :D

Developer

Thank you so much! Glad you liked the music ^_^

Very cool puzzle adventure! I got to the Orb of Winning when the text was sideways though 😅

There was a really cool moment where I thought I softlocked myself by placing the first light block past the light block door. But then I realized, no, I'm not softlocked, I just have to get BIGGER! Very fun

Developer

So glad you enjoyed it! Yeah I realized I should have made the text rotate to always face up so you can actually read it lol

this is REALLY cool on a technical level, really like the concept. That said, this game was really good at making me feel dumb ;_;

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Don't worry, I don't think it's you, I wanted to have a slower difficulty curve and better introduction to the concept but I didn't have the time to implement that. Glad you liked the idea though!

Extremely cool!!! Took me a minute to wrap my head around what was happening, but once I did this was an amazing experience. The puzzles all felt difficult but satisfying to solve, and this concept has so much potential to be expanded into a bigger game.

Thank you! Yeah a tutorial / slower introduction to the mechanics would have been ideal, most of jam time ended up being spent implementing the core concept. I'm very glad you enjoyed it so much!
