I love the execution, with the way you start on the title screen, to the feel of the switches, to the ever-changing map. I liked the mechanic of R G and B switches a lot.

I got completely invested and completely forgot it was a jam game X).\n\nThe button mecanics are quite simple but nicely executed and easily understandable.\n\nI just think the battery depletion could have been faster, because it never felt like a genuine time constraint, more like a (huge) health bar. Same with the glitch wall. I saw it move in level 3, but once I started the two other levels, I never saw it again, which is a shame because the atmosphere was really nice. It felt really captivating with all the particle effects of the *corruption wall of death*, the level slowly fading out as your battery diminishes, and all the platforms blinking.\n\nPlus I don't know if it was intended, but does the wall move at the pace of the musics ?\n\nMuch detail was put in this game, and it was fun discovering all those effects !\n\nThanks for that fun moment ^^\n\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SuperQGS","author_uid":"1108360","time":"2018-08-15T22:17:53Z","epoch":1534371473,"modified":1534371473,"text":"Too short! lol very fun game I love the button mechanics.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"LJay","author_uid":"1026213","time":"2018-08-15T23:00:11Z","epoch":1534374011,"modified":1534374011,"text":"I really like this entry.
