I love this puzzle game. The puzzles are interesting and the overall mechanic with the light is interesting. Good job!

I enjoyed this one, at least as far as I got. The puzzles got pretty challenging. Nice design and puzzles with a great idea for the mechanics. I liked the art style. Controls worked well and I didn't encounter any bugs. Good job!

Love this idea, and the fact that you were able to figure out some really nice puzzles. I would have loved an undo button instead of having to restart the level over if I made a simple mistake, but that’s not a huge deal.

Excellent job!

Just wanted to come back and say that this game really stuck with me. I think it really achieves some of the elegant emergence that keeps the sokoban genre going. Really great job!

I beat the game!

I love puzzle games and I can tell you I really like this game. Nice art, nice setting, nice sounds. But, most of all very nice design and puzzles; with very simple rules and elements you achieve a lot of depth in the game. I enjoyed it a lot.

The only ‘but’ I can think of is the puzzles are sometimes long to solve and a simple mistake can make you to start in the beginning. I was missing a dial back some steps feature to avoid repeating parts you have already solved.

Great job.

Nice puzzle mecanics honestly. They rules and the execution was great until the 3rd puzzle were I got stuck... I've tried like 10 or 15 times but couldn't wrap my head around it. Maybe the difficulty spike is too steep.

Nontheless was a great game. Great work!

Thank you for the nice feedback! In case you still want to see the rest of the game - there is a level select that allows you to play any of the levels regardless of linear progress. Also if you still want to try the level itself I can give you a hint: that level is designed around verticality - you can move a box upwards while remaining in its shadow and this way reach a more helpful position.
