The game was seriously fun to play. Great level design puzzles and actually really polished. Enjoyed the mechanic - simple yet intuitive. Visuals are really good especially on art direction level.

Probably the best game I've played out of the submissions so far. Loved the style, sound... Everything really. And it ties in with the theme amazingly. Absolutely wonderful game!

This is really polished! All the mechanics work together smoothly. 

The art is incredibly well made, I also love the choice of music - something about classical music and an apocalyptic setting just mixes nicely.

Very good game, I specially liked the music, art looks cool too :)

One of the most thematic jam entries with some nailbiting "last piece of wire" moments. Nice take on the connection idea.

Very good entry, the lighting, atmosphere, gameplay, sound, is all so well put together. Everything meshes well, it feels like 1 complete piece. I really don't have any negative things to say about this game. Really the only thing I can bring up, is that I really don't think that the Smetana playing in the background really matches the mood of the game haha

my only complain is that this game is too short.
overall a very solid entry!

This is a really cool game! The art and ambiance is excellent, does a great job of making you feel like a survivor rather than a hero. The sound design is fantastic as well, very unsettling. Great job of getting the theme across as well!

The atmosphere, The art, and the gameplay were all really good! Love the creepy imagery, keep it up!

The art direction is top notch, the atmosphere in this game is something from another world.  Sadly, the goal of the game in the beginning is unclear which kinda frustrate and break the whole experience.

Very interesting concept, I liked it!

Really great presentation! I love that light flicker when you lose & when the game over message pops up. Thank you for explaining why I lost! I really like that the camera does a slow tilt up, it's subtle.. and it feels maybe not intentional? But it's just a nice little touch.

The idea here is really simple and the puzzles are light, you made it easy to understand the goal, or rather, you corrected me when I didn't understand. I started the game up, tried to go left, died and the explanation in the death screen helped me realize what I had to do. Maybe only gripe would be the slight delay waiting for all the monsters to move but I mean, it was like less than a second each time so this is really just my destroyed attention-span crying.

I'm a bit torn on the music, I really like it but it kinda felt off, I dunno, like I said, torn, it was like a nice contrast cause I guess the expected music would've been like something dark and tonal so I like that it didn't fit into what my brain expected.

Big fan, great work :)

Awesome, I love the atmosphere and the fact that you used Bedřich Smetana (Vltava) as a  music is brilliant. Good Work!
