It's really nice to run and jump in the game, I liked the animation at the beginning :)

the opportunity to beat some puzzles by flying on cube is insanely cool, even if it was't intended during development!

It took me a bit to figure out how to use the computer - a visible crosshair thing might have helped. I didn't get past the first platforming segment, because it was pretty hard. For some jumps I had to walk diagonally to move 40% faster, which I only found on a lucky guess.

I enjoyed the puzzles but hated that the charadter doesn't stick to the moving platforms. The text on the screens was really hard to read, I don't know if it was due to contrast or FOV, a quick fix could be to lock sight and zoom in the screen.

@juanrod707, about the platforms, I wanted to do it but I couldn't, the game has a zoom feature on the mouse wheel.

Игра понравилась, больше всего зашли пазлы, в платформинге очень много борьбы с управлением, немного полишинга не хватило. Но, несмотря на это, игра вполне приятно играется. Короче, чуть-чуть полишинга платформинга не хватило, в остальном супер

The interpretation and application of the theme are spot on. The game concept design is great, the art style is unique, and it’s a very innovative game. Five-star praise! We look forward to your coming to play our games, thank you

I liked the puzzle levels with the cube made me feel like I was playing portal again. Great game!

It's pretty dark and it's hard to make out anything.
The platforming was difficult, especially the fact that you need to move along the platforms. But I think if you add conveyor animation to them, you'll get a unique experience :)
Simple but working puzzles.
And most importantly, it works on the web!

I like the graphics and puzzles probably the most. The problem was with jumping on platforms, because I couldn't understand the height and gravity of the character. Overall it is a good project :)

I agree with others that a crosshair would be a nice addition, trying to interact with computers is a bit tedious as is. Jumping around was really fun; but to better the player experience, you may want to check out "coyote time" and "jump buffering" concepts--they really make a huge difference in platformer games. Also I've found a bug: waiting under the vertically moving platform pushed me out of the playable area. And lastly, you may want to check how the game handles the full-screen mode, it left pretty large blackbars from all four sides for me. Overall, a fun platformer with cool puzzles, nice work!

I appeared in some kind of room with computers and that's it?? I absolutely don't know what to do. I can't interact with the computer(

It was hard to start the computer and move around the platforms.
Stylish neon and an interesting concept, it just needs a little polishing, and then it'll be a fantastic game!

A bit too dark for my liking. But in general very nice puzzles and overall mechanic. Good game.

Im really sorry, I wanted to play this but it's just unplayable for me. the WASD keys dont work correctly, w moves me to the left, s moves right, etc. then If i reload w moves me back and s moves me forward. really struggle to do anything with the computer then when I finally am able to press start, I get a 1 second animation and then im just back in front of the computer. I've tried both the embed and the itch.io link. really sorry again.

Dropping a long over due comment here. Really appreciate you giving me the opportunity to play this game [on stream.](https://www.youtube.com/live/fCwnxSEAlQY?si=3-xtKkY_Vx5P1axg&t=3627)

My thoughts are shared in the VOD. Hope we see you back for LD60. ✌
