This is without question the best of the past-present puzzle games in this jam. The level design and the presentation are both great. The only thing missing is a way to restart a level if you get softlocked. At least I couldn't find it.

Developer

The reset button in the main window restart the level, When you start the game the button changes after you press it. In a update I will add something to make it more obvious, some people missed it too. Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed!

I wasn't able to bring up the main window at all once I started the game. So that's probably a bug.

Developer

What resolution is your screen? I think I know what happend

Submitted(+1)

I've got 2 1920x1080 monitors, one vertical, one horizontal, I had all the windows on the horizontal one.

Developer

huh that's weird, it's supposed to move the window a bit up to show the other 2 windows, and I thought if the screen is small it would go out of the monitor, but that doesn't seen like the case...

Developer

actually just checked it should stay on the middle of the main screen, I'm not sure what happend

That’s incredible! Right now, I feel like many games’ themes revolve around "losing something in the past and finding it now," which feels similar to the previous theme, "Lost and Found." But your game is a perfect interpretation of the theme! Also, because my English isn’t great, long storylines in many games are a big challenge for me. Your game is the most enjoyable one I’ve played so far! It reminds me of OneShot. Maybe I’ll make a similar game in the future!

I finished the game! The blocks reminded me of Rusty Lake.This is absolutely my favorite game!

Developer

Thank you!! Oneshot is one of my favorite games! I'm glad you could enjoy!!

What an awesome game <3 Such a creative idea for the theme and the quality and amount of content you've put in is just nuts. Well done!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

This is brilliant. Clever use of the theme, fitting audio and visuals, with a very polished presentation work (that ending!). One of my favorites so far.

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent puzzle game — the kind that's rather simple but makes you feel smart nonetheless. The graphics are very competently made (though Neuro's face looks very... let's say unconcerned), and I like the subtle touches, such as how blocks can obstruct the light of the torches in the background. The controls feel tight and intuitive, and the overall presentation is fairly unique from beginning to end, and matches the jam's theme perfectly!

Thank you!! making 16x16 sprites is hard :P

This game is so creative that there is a lot of content for a game jam. The ending was also so interesting I didn't expect that at all

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed the ending!! I wished I had more time to spend on it, I had to go on vacation 12h before the deadline and couldn't have the proper ending I wanted to have. Still, I'm very proud of what I managed!

one of the best games in the jam that encapsulates the theme, rivaled only by Left Behind. extremely clever and creative with fun mechanics and cool aesthetics. more people should play this!

Developer

Thank you!!

Super cool puzzle mechanic, I really like how the whole game build on this one mechanic. There were a lot of levels and I also like the retro game boy aesthetics and modern aesthetics. Very cool and creative.

Developer

I've been relatively held back on my ratings so far, didn't think I'd give a 5/5/5/5/5 out like that. Amazing work.

Developer

Thank you for the max rating!! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

very clever and well made game. i imagine having to make a game in 2 windows must have been hard. really good, all the stuff others have said is true :)

Developer

Thank you! It was hard to set up the two windows at first, but after this headache it went more smoothly. Thanks for the kind words!

This was a really fun game! The mechanic was really fun and there's some really creative use of it in making the puzzles! 

Developer

Thank you! I had a lot of fun making the puzzles!

That’s a very original idea. Loved playing this game!

Developer

Thank you! I took inspiration from the Portal 2 mod Portal Reloaded, so it's not 100% original, but thanks for playing!!

Very cool idea. I like the split windows.

Developer

Thank you! Those took some time to make... but I think they turned out great
