I think it is a cool concept, but I’m missing a lot of clarity and feedback.

First of all the mix with purely top down objects and a pseudo rpg like 3d world makes it very confusing to see where you can walk and were you can’t. On some walls the player can overlay, but on others and the boxes the players can’t, which feels very odd. The player hitbox is not so clear either because of the same reasons. I kept getting stuck on objects and running into stuff, which isn’t a great gameplay experience.

I liked the atmospheric sound, but was missing some other player feedback (like at least a sound on death). The death and instant reset come way to fast, i would have liked the world to stop for a sec to see where i died (comes together with the ambiguity of the player hitbox)

Also pay attention to the player start position, it’s quite awkward when you spawn and instantly get zapped by a laser if you don’t move.

Developer

Thank you for the amazing feedback! Sound design is definitely an area where I lack in my games, so thank you on telling me how to improve!

nice simple game. I kinda wish I went with something more like this because having multiple levels is really nice. 

The only thing I would have added was something annoying. Like maybe a sound or even a UI stating you lost. Because it would have got me mad, making my final win THAT much better. As it is, it was very challenging, which was great :D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing!

The game is simple but good, it's funny how the theme is in there very literally with the "system broken", although the lore doesn't fit all that well from what I understood. Overall its pretty nice!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

It was tough but good game overall
Might add a restart button bcoz I got stuck sometimes

Developer

I felt like i didnt have the need for a reset button because you can walk into a laser, but if you were genuinely stuck, sorry. Thanks for playing!

A physics based puzzle game is always fun. The mechanics worked well and the visuals were appealing and cohesive. nice work and keep it up! I streamed it here!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for Playing and streaming it aswell!

Nice game and fun puzzles.

In level 7 where there are 4 lasers in a row and 4 boxes: one of the boxes was is stuck and I couldn’t move it, and another box couldn’t be moved up because there is no way to go around it. Good thing that 2 boxes did the job and I could move on hehe.

Developer

Thanks! I had that bug whilst playtesting, but i realised 2 boxes work.

Submitted(+1)

Great game! Timing runs is quite difficult and I like how you must combine that with where to place the box for maximum coverage. In that respect, it feels more like strategy rather than a puzzle.

Developer

Yeah, I think mixing puzzle with strategy was the way to go. Thank You!

Submitted(+1)

Great game! Lots of fun, and definitely quite a challenge. Nice job!

Developer
