You did a great job of explaining the mechanics in the beginning, and the difficulty ramp starts out well, and I feel like I'm getting it, but I think the problem is that your levels get too big too quickly, so restarting the more difficult ones is more punishing, because there are so many variables to test in one run, and so then your flow is broken and it becomes a bit discouraging. Overall I think you nailed the mechanics and the theme, and it would be interesting to see this game with a more welcoming difficulty curve.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"JSMCAG","author_uid":"1043459","time":"2018-08-14T17:02:17Z","epoch":1534266137,"modified":1534266137,"text":"It's a nice puzzle game, really entertaining, levels can become quite difficult.\n\nThe main mechanic - each step you take removes that space from play - reminds me of my own entry, but taken to a completely different genre of game.

Graphics are functional and glad that you put some music in (is decent but game would have felt cold without it). As with any puzzle game the enjoyment comes from the puzzles themselves. I think you did a good job with the puzzles though there are some things that could really add to it. Portals were a neat way not trap a player in but having an indicator of where they would spit the player out are really needed, but others have already said this.\n\nSpecifically on the last level there is a hole that is under a box. I spent a good while trying to figure out what I was supposed to do just assuming that area was a red herring (as you had put a red herring in the level before. You could just have easily changed it to be this:  \n![Screen.png](\/\/\/raw\/68a\/3\/z\/1a3d0.png)  \nand the puzzle would have been exactly the same but the player would be able to think and puzzle their way through instead of having to do trial and error to it.\n\nOverall the levels fit a bit sprawling and I think a smaller play area would have led to some more tightly developed levels. \n\nThese are nit picks and I did enjoy my playthrough (twice since I went back to get that screen grab) =P.\n\nHave fun out there!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Zeusx212","author_uid":"1099534","time":"2018-08-19T11:26:57Z","epoch":1534678017,"modified":1534678017,"text":"Really entertaining.
