Great job submitting a game and congrats on getting in the top 10! I actually struggled to complete this game when I initially played it during the rating period. I am not the best puzzle gamer. However, I immediately recognized how unique and fun this concept was. I showed it to a friend and I watched him seamlessly beat all 10 levels. He loved the game.

Playing it again, I managed to finally beat all the levels. I love how the first four levels really help establish the rules of the game. Its visually clean and easy to understand. When you hit level 5 and you realize the arrows will override some of the switches, it dawned on me just how interesting this idea could be. It got me excited to progress and see what other concepts appeared in later levels. When the connected switches are introduced, that is another "wow that's cool" moment.

The music is catchy, its got good puzzle background music vibes. It was really satisfying waiting for the arrows to complete the puzzles themselves, even if it didn't happen its easy to restart the level. The idea is unique and fresh, at least to me. Would love to see what else you could do within this concept. Good work and thanks for participating!

Thanks a lot for such a comprehensive comment! We are very pleased that this game brings joy.
And also thanks for hosting this jam! It's always great for self-development to build something with constraints and Nokia Jam is a perfect fit for purpose.

Really neat concept! I included it in my Nokia 3310 Jam 4 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Thanks for a bit of exposure :D

Cool puzzle with the added challenge of the arrows continuing to switch the buttons. Nice job!

Also nice visuals - clear and easy to understand and one of the few games i've seen with a tutorial

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! Yeah, we believe tutorial is crucial so players don't have to figure out how to play and concentrate on gameplay instead :D

The Game Is Alot Of Fun And Some Puzzles Gave Me A Hard Time! I Love The Game And Feel As It Was Made With A Smart Idea In Mind. Amazing Game!

This is a great concept for a puzzle game that's implemented very well. It really got me thinking!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :-)

Really nice puzzle game idea. It's a shame the the idea that the arrow will negate the blocks isn't introduced as more of a mechanic through the puzzles

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Hey, I beat it! Actually not too tough, if things aren’t perfectly synchronized there’s a good chance some levels can complete themselves if you just patiently let it play out long enough. But it started to get pretty interesting with the joined lamps. Sometimes you don’t even have to use all your vector things! Kind of like a red herring?

Developer

Thanks for trying out! Yeah, that's the secret - patience can pay off :D

Interesting concept, haven't encountered many timing based puzzles. Some of the levels especially the final one felt like a bit guesswork personally, but I like the direction this went.

Developer

Thanks for awesome review!

Awesome game, the puzzles are really creative and the music is very good and fitting.

Developer

Thanks for review! We had to improve music a bit, original piece was said to be little repetitive :D

Amazing game! It's a really nice game concept and I would love to see more of this!
The music was a bit too loud and repetitive but wasn't that big of a deal.

Developer

Thanks for review! I believe we still have time to fix that loudness issue, so thanks for pointing this out.
It's harder with music repetitiveness, but I will try to sort it out as well, let's wait for a Muse :D
