I really liked some of the visual ideas you had here, though they're a little rough around the edges!

I really like the visual style, the car was a bit off putting, but everything else was cool. Not sure about the puzzles though I don't feel they're interactive enough to be more than just random slider positioning.

Certainly a very interesting idea! Both visuals and the auditory experience were different from the norm.

The visuals, atmosphere and sound are amazing!
Unfortunately the gameplay is a bit confusing, most of the time I felt like I was randomly placing the sliders and hoping it would work.

Great work on the aesthetics and interesting use of sound for game-play! Exploration really led my imagination run wild with ideas about this dream like environment. Although, I did have trouble with the puzzles; I feel like there's a lot of originality here.

I have no idea what I just played, so many questions, why was there a business man in a field and why did the stone pillars hate him... ad infinitum

anyway I enjoyed it, the visuals were the selling point, that pixelated style was cool af. no idea how I was supposed to win though and put it mainly down to trial and error

A bit difficult to tell how to solve the puzzles, as I had no way to tell if what I was doing was helping or making it worse, but it was fun nonetheless.

Really cool idea. I love the style and the look of the game world, and it's an unusual take on the theme which is great.

It did feel like I didn't have enough time to solve the puzzles - maybe a bit more of a tutorial showing what each of the sliders does would make the ramp-up to the main puzzles easier.

The graphics are lovely and the gameplay mechanic is fun at its core, but the time limit on figuring the sliders out kills it. Especially since you go from one slider straight to three without any way to find out what each individual slider does.
