This is a really unique puzzle game with a relaxing atmosphere and an incredibly well done art style. The pixel art looks just perfect for this kind of game, the puzzles are interesting and solving them feels very satisfying, which kept me coming back for more. Another favourite for sure, great work!

Developer

Thank you very much for your feat back ^^

I am a sucker for a good puzzle game and this is a very polished one! The calm ambient environment is very pleasing! Keep up the great work!

I don't exactly like how unforgiving the boxes seemed to be but it is understandable at the same time and I certainly have a skill issue for these kinds of games haha other than that sweet game! Loved the look of the 2d lighting and how smoothly and lively everything moved! Keep it up!

Well done! I did all 15 level, and it's a really nice puzzle game and the atmosphere it's really relaxing. The portal mechanic was a really nice addition. I hope to see more levels!!

Great game. I like that you seem to be using Unity's 2D lighting mechanic as a major portion of gameplay. Nicely done.

Blocks have a slight tendency to be very 'sticky'. Maybe reduce the collider size? Dunno, but good puzzle game. Thank you!

Fantastic game! It's very relaxing to play, and it's challenging enough to make you have to think, without it becoming frustrating. Audio and graphics are nice too! I need you to make another 50 levels because I wasn't ready to stop playing lol :D

Thank you very much for the feedback ^^ Well then, maybe we'll really have to make some more levels ;D It's great to see so many people getting hooked on the game. Thanks again for the feedback and especially for creating this Jam ^^

My personal favourite. With more levels that could become a fully fledged 5 bucks game!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot ^^ I'll think about making a business plan then ;D But yes, I'm also thinking of continuing it, it could be really interesting. Thanks for the feedback ^^

Very simple but satisfying concept that I could see expanded in future games.

Super relaxing game! I like the mechanic and art

This was super chill!  I really liked the concept.  In earlier levels I found that the blocks were a bit sticky making me give up on certain moves too early, only to find that the block actually could fit where I wanted it to go.  After that I was off to the races.  Nice work!

Great sounds and art, I particularly liked the portal art and sounds.

Beat all 15 levels, it seemed like there were plenty of possible solutions, and were starting to get a little tricky.

Great job!

I love your game, the mechanics are well executed, and the concept is entertaining 😀

Great stuff, very nice ambiance.
Level 6 is a great example of "show, don't tell", having an easy level to show you may need several light sources :)
That's quite a lot of levels for a 48h jam (plus, portals!)

The light beams look really good, how did you make those ?

The blocks kinda wobble around passively, which looks nice, but the hitboxes don't seem to update to reflect that, so it feels a bit Janky as Ian_W said. Didn't matter that much in the end with the current levels but if you worked on this more and had one where it's really packed it'd feel pretty bad.
