My brain hurts. How do I get past the saws? - Me 10 min ago
can u make it chrome compatible plz?
The game should work on Chrome, can you describe what happens when you try to run? it? I'll see if there's something I can do to fix it if you can tell me more.
The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:
Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
Good game! Took me 6:36. Liked it!
That last bit had me puzzled!
i won great game
Incredible game, some feedback would be an idea, maybe a sandbox mode? And if possible sharing puzzles
A level editor with sharing is one of the features we're planning for a full release. Thank you for playing!
Would love some hotkeys to make setting the commands, colors easier/faster. Other than that great game, looking forward to what it becomes.
Thank you so much for playing! We're not planning any more updates for this version, but we're planning to add hotkeys to the full version.
SO cool! add more pls!
Fingers crossed, that's the plan! I'm glad you enjoyed our game!
yay
Awesome Puzzle Platformer hybrid type thing
Thanks a lot, much appreciated!
wow i love this game so badly this is so fun game
Thank you for playing!
I just played it through and it is amazing.
It's like if you took my game (also the tutorial) and my first game (aiden 1.4) and combined the best aspects of them.
It's a funny coincidence! Thank you for playing our game, I appreciate it!
AMAZING..i want more than just a tutorial now.
Thanks a bunch! It was really fun watching you play through this on stream.
Probably the most creative one ive seen in this jam so far, well done!
High praise, there are a lot of great games in this jam. Thank you!
Ooooh! This one I liked. You guys smashed it, fun game!
That means a lot, thank you for playing!
great game homie!
Cheers brother, appreciate it!
I did a game in the exact same spirit for the jam but yours is way better ;)
Great job !
I was wondering if someone would make a game like ours, thank you I'll check it out!
This game is really cool! It is very similar to a concept that our team was working on, we never got that far but I'm thrilled that you made it work this well.
The color idea, combining different actions and painting them onto the tiles, reads really well, allows for some interesting gameplay, and is a great foundation for adding more and more complex actions and interactions. It's interesting how the game is presented like a platformer but the gameplay consists of problem-solving, though I feel like the character resetting upon any interaction with the environment kind of disrupts the gameplay and adds very little in return. In my opinion, it would have been better to either have the player start the character movement with a button, or just let the player interact with the environment while the character is moving and design the challenges to require faster reactions and more creativity, depending on which type of challenge you want to create.
But this game is lovely, very polished, easy to understand, and the music is really cool too!
Keeping everything in the game synced on repeated tries was the priority but if we ever do more with this concept that's definitely something I'd want to implement in some way. Thank you for playing and for the feedback!
Very fun concept!
I absolutely love this game! The last "level" was pretty challenging, but also interesting!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
Potential winner I think. I did get stuck just before the end though, I think I need to land on the 2nd-last white bit, but couldn't work out how to get on. Very fun though, I played for a while! :)
That's huge praise, thank you so much! The end was designed to be considerably harder than the rest so don't sweat it too much. Thanks for playing!
