Love it. Great puzzle game, fun use of the "zap" to give ways of solving the puzzles. Clearly very well thought out and well executed. Gave up in the room of coils after several tries, but of a ramp up in difficulty, but still very well done!

I learned a valuable lesson from this game, Tesla coils are evil. I got suck in the level with the two levers next to each other. How do you get out of this one?

I completed it and enjoyed it. Level design, art, music, and SFX were all great. I couldn't find any noticeable bugs either.

Great Game. The sound design and graphics were neat, and the little details with particles were a lovely touch. I got stuck on the last level but that's more a fault with me. Keep up the work.

Nice and simple puzzle game with clean art and fitting music!

@neverwinsthegame I agree, tesla coils are evil. Check out my game for more evil tesla coil! lol

This was fun! The puzzles were interesting, especially combining timing and classic puzzle elements.

I couldn't figure out how to open the red door in a later level, though. The red lever seemed to be out of bounds?

A really fun puzzle game... I don't know why but the Sound kinda borthered me... but that's maybe me being me :D
Love the Level Design and the mechanic used to interact with things. Lovely game!

I was first afraid of the game being to easy, but the difficulty ramped up quite a bit.
My favorite level is the one where you have to push the little robot friend before destroying the rest of the walls. Great pixel art aswell !!

Mby one bug: The red lever in the "large" level seemed to be out of bounds...

Really fun game, and interesting take on the theme! Sometimes wish I could trigger the pulse myself, but it happened frequently enough so to not be too frustrating.

That was amazing! The pixel art was really charming and felt like it with the overall style throughout. The puzzles were challenging but fair, and it felt satisfying when beating a level. I didn't manage to complete as got stuck on the level with the two switches near each other, but I still had a blast! I hope that Cranky smiles if you win though haha

Great game - awesome job!

Cool game! I really enjoyed the levels, however I couldn't solve them all. I couldn't find a way to open the red door in one of the levels.

the pixelart is pretty good music and sounds are also pretty good but the best part is the level design and puzzles for sure

Great work and super cute. The last level had a mechanic that could have been shown sooner but I enjoyed it.

Love to see everyone's feedback, thank you for playing.
@anton-florey and @parkuhrmd , the red lever is not a bug. It is intentional. That level is difficult, but solvable. Is there a way for you to PM me? I don't want to give away the solution here. :smile:

Super cool, the mechanic is really well used, sometimes it's long to wait for the electricity to come but maybe it would be too much difficult for some phases. Great work !

This was a surprisingly good game. I loved the music, sound, and visuals. And the puzzles were pretty good. I did manage to beat all of them, even the last one without any help. So I'm happy with that. great job. Might I recommend making builds for web/mac/linux? That would be nice.

Awesome game design mechanics, it have a big taste of a game jam, and still the idea is more developed than expected. Hope you keep carrying this game ideas to further improvements. The art has a long road but sure it can be improved and the game can be more polished for future better experiences.

Great game. It was fun to play and really liked that there were ways to figure out the puzzles, like using when you get shocked near a wall to blow it up. I like games that are intuitive enough that the person can solve them without having to always use a tutorial to figure out the game mechanics.

Everything fits together really well. A bit too difficult for a casual gamer, like me, but I bet this is perfect for those who are looking for a challenge.
