This is a really cool game! The combine powers concept is brought out in a wonderful way. I must say it was difficult learning the controls, and I was tempted to give up early on. But once I got the hang of it, solving the puzzles was very satisfying. Some cool puzzle concepts too. I played upto level three. One thing that put me off is dying due to the lasers. I think this game demands a lot of precision from the player for a puzzle game. After taking a lot of pains to reach to a certain point in the level, if the player makes a small mistake and dies, it is daunting to do it all over again from the start of the level. I think this is what happened to me on level 3. I feel the dying mechanic is more problematic than the difficult controls. However both put together would turn off a lot of people who would otherwise be very interested in playing this game. Fixing both would be great. But maybe atleast turn off the dying part, and make the laser just block access? I’m not sure if this would impact the puzzles. Dying makes the game more tense, but I don’t feel it’s necessary here. Unless you want to emphasize that as another player skill for this game. It’s your choice ultimately. Sorry about the rant. I second Spork Tank’s comment here. I really like puzzle platformers and combining powers, and I think this could be a great game, if you manage to iron out some of these issues. I wish you the best in taking this game forward, and would love to keep in touch on how it’s proceeding.
