These kinds of puzzle games are hardly my forté, but that didn’t stop me from making a good amount of progress before calling it quits. This was an impressive little entry.

Everything about it– the consistent graphics, the reliable and highly generous checkpoint system, and the level design all made for a very engaging loop out of something very simple.

My main complaint is the music– not that it’s bad as it perfectly fits the game’s story and aesthetic, but I think it is far too short and repetitive for the length of the game and some additional variations would be a welcome addition. This is hardly a realistic gamejam complaint, but more of a general note should you take the game further.

I think you’ve done a splendid job with this. If you add a little more variation to some of the environments and work some minor minimalist aesthetic details into your cave structure, I think you have a reasonable paid premium version on your hands. I would also recommend adding swiping controls and bringing it to the Google Play store.

Excellent work!

Love how good the player feels. Simple and elegant. The puzzle design was also solid. I had many aha moments.

Good, game, simple graphics and puzzles, this is the best things in the world for me :D The music is a bit too “strong” making me turn it down… But i like the sounds in general. Game style is simple, but with good “placements”, making the simple, really complex. I’m not reaaally good in puzzles, and it got really complex after entering the well. It’s really fun to play, with good effects and motions… I like it :)

I both like the story, the gameplay idea, and the visuals. For me some of the puzzles got a bit too complex, but okay I manage to get to the end. Overall a really good jam game. Well done.
