Lovely simple concept that allows complicated puzzles that melted my brain at times! Music is just right, keeps out of the way and allows you to focus on the problems.
The controls are intuitive and tho, the concept is not original, the bit about not being able to touch the key was a nice touch!
Glad you enjoyed the simplicity of the music and the complexity of the puzzles! Those two parts are probably the things I am most proud of :D
A very simple game and a nice ending. Keeps you on the edge about what happens next. This game proves that you don't need graphics eye candy to come up with such a good game. Really pleased with the game, especially those puzzles. I think a more extended full blown game with these mechanics could be a potential hit. Keep up the good work @efterblivnaraven
I had planned on more parasites but had to lessen my scope for the game jams time limit, so as you say there is potential with a game with the same kind of restrictive mechanics. Thanks for playing and enjoying the game <3
I'm a fan of the genre, really liked the aesthetics and the dialogues
A really unfortunate Ant.
Like the increasing difficulty!
These were some very nice puzzles. Good game
Thank you! Creating the puzzles was definitely the most fun part of the development so I am glad you enjoyed them :D
Nice game - love how the story builds up til the end :)
I cried an ocean when I wrote it, such emotional power in it xD
I finish the game. Love it. the parasite limit movement.
