Nice puzzle game! Really fun.

Submitted

Very nicely done. I liked the transitions between levels. The ghosty things being used to trigger the buttons was also very clever!

I guess there was more planned but never implemented. Keep jamming!

Submitted

Good game! I liked the concept with the inversion of the world. I especially liked the use of small creatures for buttons. If you add more features like this, the game will be great! Good luck with the development of the game after the jam!

Nice visuals and theme. The level are designed very well.

Nice puzzle game.
Fun concepts in this game and fun to play the levels to get out. I made it ;-)!
Theme is checked but there was a bit of UI.
Visuals were good and the audio also.
Good solid game jam entry!

I loved the game, I think that you have done something very clever with the them and it is really polished for 7 days. I love the puzzles and how you did everything, I also love the little bits of story thought. Its a good game.

Thanks, I wasn't originally going to finish at all, I worked first 3 days and stopped, but at the last day I wrapped it up and made the end screen after level 6. Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback! :)

The game is awesome

Mixing visuals and the gameplay is a great idea! The levels weren't that hard but the ideas were great. It does not meets the requirement of Zero UI, Gameplay was good, visuals were great and it meets the theme by uniquely! My overall rate is good

Developer

Hi, thanks for playing. Could you clarify what part did not meet the requirement for zero UI (User interface)?

Submitted

Hi! It was telling me a story from texts. It of course may be not an UI for you but it is. There are some games which tells the story by using specific non-speeching sounds only in the submissions such as Thank you, my friend.

Ah, I see, I personally don't count storytelling as UI (user interface), since it is not interacting with user or environment, or conveying any information about the game state. It was just a timed narration , to just have some kind of story, but I appreciate your viewpoint!

Gameplay is what make it great.

Goddamn! Love the transition, art and those puzzles with the buttons! I think you have great chance on this

Developer

Appreciated! I Also liked yours :)

The VFX transitions along with the audio really blended together. It was indeed a clever level design and use of the light and darkness world. I could use less text or none at all and I would still understand the concept! You did a great job there man!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback! :) I was 50/50% on leaving the speech-bubbles or removing them, but I think it gave it some story momentum so ended up leaving them (I don't know if it counts as UI since it is not really explaining anything, more just narrating).

Amazing transition shader =D great job, smart use of enemies existing on one side only and we need to move them to correct positions to unlock some parts of the stage. Fun and solid, great entry

Developer

Thanks for noticing :), very much appreciated!
