ace_of_4s is back with another BANGER! I loved Phixer and Fantom and love this game too. So stylish, so well introduced, so beautiful. The only thing, and I mean the ONLY thing I can say needs improvement is the story. It still gave the game a reason to exist though, which is all a video game story really needs. All around excellent work my guy, keep it up.

The game looks, feels and sounds great! I think you take this project and run with it all the way to a full release! I personally struggled with the mechanics pretty quickly and got myself stuck lol. But I can already see the project is high quality and could really go far! Keep going!

Okay, the first time I zapped myself on one of the puzzle levels and got respawned inside a pit. Finished the second time.

This game oozes style. Positively dripping with it. Well done.

Why did it have to be sliding block puzzles though? I'm terrible at those! I think I actually finished every puzzle by sliding blocks randomly back and forth while firing the laser until I got lucky with a random bounce tickling the tower for a microsecond - if you want to prevent that sort of solution, maybe have the towers require a second of continuous fire or so? Or maybe don't, for people like me...

So impressive!!! I especially love the background music!

Great game and well executed.  Almost fully complete, imho, just needs a few more ambient noises and/or sound effects like walking and it'd be great!  I could see this being a full complete game on Itch with tons of levels and more puzzle mechanics.

- Damaging enemy sfx.
- Hint that you can hold down the laser AND then switch with Q to move mirrors:  making the puzzles somewhat easier.
- Dying and killing yourself by lasers sfx.
- No play again or back to main scene button at the end.

The last puzzle was easier than the others for some reason.  I loved the final boss.  A little anti-climatic after you defeat it but that's fine.  Great job!

Great feedback and I think you're spot on all around. Appreciate you playing and enjoying!

Dang, this was nice!  The art, music, mechanics, all of it was so good!  I love balancing out combat and puzzles, I could easily play another 40hrs of this.  My only two suggestions are gamepad support, and opening the door had a stronger visual effect (like an animation, maybe some dust swirls).  You already have a great audio cue, but I kept expecting to have to "full up" the reactors so that's where my attention was and it took a beat to realize a path opened.  Again, this is super duper minor and not hard to figure out, it's like complaining about the stitching on the napkin at a michellin star restaurant.  Would love to see more of this, keep it up!

Thanks for playing! I totally agree with your feedback - in fact a lot of that was stuff I did indeed want to address but time was a factor! Again really appreciate you playing.
