Love how much you were able to do using the same space every time! A couple good little "gotcha" moments in there with the level design, enjoyed that a lot.

Graphics are good and effective!

What else...
oh I really enjoyed that this was physics based/real time. Gave it a good sense of urgency and allowed for little tense moments where I just manage to slip up onto a tile, good stuff!

What program do I use to open RAR files?

@dk5000p you need a WinRar to open them

Great job with the modeling! There are some good levels as well. I do wish there were a way to restart the current level (if there is let me know!).

Pretty fun game. The lack of lighting makes the game look mysterious in my opinion, if that was what you were going for. Lack of sound is alright for these types of things, but its so awkward! I would love at least the sounds of footsteps. Great job nonetheless.

I recommend adding a .zip instead of a .rar since it's not a standard file extension. Some might not download WinRAR to play a game.

@handle the "R" button is for restart
there is a bug where this message doesn't show up, I am sorry

Old puzzle game in 3d costume :)

Not bad, albeit it feels a bit buggy. The restart message sometimes doesn't show up, but other than that it's fine.

Sounds would help a lot :)

Love the 3d puzzle dungeon style. Great art and it ran smoothly on my computer. Controls were a bit rough as I often ended up walking on an extra step in front of the switch and had to restart the level.

Great concept, would have loved to hear some audio on top of that.

Great job!

Taking what wouldve been a 2d game and making it 3d certainly added a good layer of complexity to it- nice job! Would've liked to have had music or sound effects for if a button was pressed.

It will be much more better with ambient lighting(torches, moonlight form gothic style windows) and music

Wow! this was great, awesome use of theme to create a slew of puzzles with ramping difficulty. (Music and sounds would be great though)

This is great, its a puzzler that I enjoy, and it was doable, but challenging. Excellent work.

The graphics are great too, those bars at the start/end of the level, and the buttons are great. Nice work!

Great puzzler! Easy to understand.

Personally I'd increase the walk speed a bit, and make it a bit more fast paced. Other than that, great job!

Great game, would love the sound of the wind blowing or something like that to up the atmosphere.

Always wanted to play simple puzzle but from first person perspective. Nice idea!

oh I think the game crashed.. that's unity probably :D good entry. I love the idea. Sometimes it was hard to find all the buttons. controls were a bit unresponsive (especially the mouse) but other than that a solid entry. good job!

Nice puzzle game! Clean and simple art style, but it lacks sound.

Nice simple puzzle game!! I like it! Nice troll level at the end XD My only problem is that I feel like first eprson made it very difficult to see where you were standing, but top down would have made it too easy, so i see why you chose first person. I like what you've done tho.

- Strong concept
- Make walking entertaining more interactive, some ideas are like if I am going to be slow, make me lumbering guy armor.
- Fail by design, I know you can do better. Easy way to fix, Do an early light jump between all the points in order you want me to do them. So I can then be tactical in my planning.

I like it that the movement is not locked to cardinal or semi-cardinal directions, as it usually is in puzzle games. However, this does come with drawbacks, like me stepping on several tiles at once when I don't mean to.

Other then that, you have something here that looks like has some potential if you add more mechanics.

Lastly, this is one of the rare few games I've see that has a mysterious atmosphere, largely thanks to the darkness and the golden coloured environment.

A very nice puzzle game, fits the theme well. I could use some ambient sounds and a kill box when you fall off. I like the simple art style.

Nice game! I was pretty proud of myself when I beat the 4th room, or thought I did, stepping on the last, green button, but the door didn't open :(. Not sure if that was the end, or a bug ^_^.

It would have been nice to know the order of the buttons before walking around, so I didn't have to keep retrying, however on Room 3 I liked that it made me have to choose a slightly more efficient route each time, that I'm not sure I would have came up with otherwise.

@jimbly Looks like you didn't beat the game my friend! But that's alright. The last room just has a catch, there is no bug :D Thanks for your review!

The puzzles were nice however the art style and composition could be improved upon. I enjoyed the game overall! Well done!

Thank you for your review, @tigerj , I appreciate it! I am planning to make a compilation video with the gameplay (all the streamers will have their names and links to their sites if I will publish it somewhere) Is that ok with you?

@awix Just copy pasting one comment to as many people as you can, without actually trying their games? This is selfish of you my friend. Better write 5 real reviews than 50 copypasted. Good Luck!

Hey I love the atmosphere you created there, seems very dark and moody. The colors of the buttons dont seem to go with everything else though, I thought the violet buttons could be yellow and the green button at the end could be a glowing white button. I like the puzzle, although I think having free navigation introduces higher possibility of making error for player, and this game is definitely not forgiving with error so free navigation + free camera control makes everything even more challenging. I dont know if it was intentional but these kinds of game that requires an overview of the arena really doesnt fit first person view, unless you provide camera zoom. What I like about the game mechanic was the level design, it progresses from easy peasy to the point where I really need to think about the solution. So yeah, great work!!

Игра выполнена качественно,но думаю не хватает динамичности в геймплее , но было весело. спасибо )

Graphics, theme and controls are all on point. Pretty challenging too. Lack of audio really hurt it though in my opinion. Like some slow, dark, ambient music droning in the back ground, echoey footsteps and the nerve-wracking sound of the ground falling breaking away.

Atmosphere was well done though, it kinds of reminds me of a bad dream where the ground is falling out from underneath you! Well done!

I would like to see a top down layout of the room as well as numbers of the buttons. After all its a puzzle game and its good to know the puzzle :)
