Was a bit hard to understand at first but when I got it it was fun to play. \nI got stuck tho, maybe I'm stupid but when I placed the first block to climb a ledge, I couldn't figure out what to do next. So I went back to the ledge to see if I missed anything and I think the block was gone, so I was stuck there :\/ (where you have a block and the waterfall).\nLike the music and I'm always a fan of these types of games made on PICO-8, love the graphics and the retro-vibe.\n\nGood job !","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"radow","author_uid":"1075872","time":"2020-04-24T01:47:07Z","epoch":1587692827,"modified":1587692827,"text":"For some odd reason this is the first pico8 game I've played this jam, which is really unusual\u2026 where are all those pixely retro games?!\n\nAnyhow\u2026 this game was very different from what I expected, rather than the typical platformer I expected I originally struggled to get past the title screen. Playing further and further and being able to start to make sense of the often times rather minimalist and cryptic scene on the screen was really rewarding and I had a ton of fun :slight_smile:","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"ilPrinny","author_uid":"1054553","time":"2020-04-24T02:33:35Z","epoch":1587695615,"modified":1587695616,"text":"Really fun entry, the puzzles were really solid and gave me that all important AHA moment when I solved them!

I really liked the puzzles that were centered around information gathering through the use of light, and the one where you have to extinguish the torch to get by the sensor.  I feel like you used few features, but you used them very well and explored they're potential well!\n\nAt some point in the middle though, (After the soundtrack change) one of my boxes seemed to teleport away from me to an unreachable location making it seemingly impossible to continue.  Shortly thereafter I got stuck on a corner and couldn't move haha.\n\nGreat work, had a blast!
