Very polished game aside the goal and controls.
Thank you!
I couldn't play the game correctly I believe, because I couldn't get the right mouse button to work on a macbook trackpad. But I just wanted to complement you on the nice atmosphere of the game. Nice clean menu's and I really liked the grey 'office/lab' settings with the colorful wires. Great use of color. Always love to see that as a designer :). Wish I could have played it :). I didn't rate because of it, but you have 64 ratings allready. Congrats.
Yet still, thank you for your comment!
The game is really good ! I definitely enjoyed the concept.
Only thing is that I needed to find a mouse to plug into my pc.. The game sadly isn't trackpad friendly.
Thank you!
This really could benefit from more explanation. On the first area I just kind of randomly stumbled into one of the computers, and it took a few minutes to understand the movement and puzzle from there. It was odd that sometimes I was holding up to move down.
Thank you for your review and recommendations, we'll take it into account
Great idea and interesting mechanics. I had a bit of trouble understanding what to do at first, but it´s a great game.
Thank you very much mate!
The story was interesting and I liked the mechanics! the controls were confusing at times but I got used to them eventually.
Thank you for playing
I love the visuals and the story! The game looks great and looks like a final product. I do think the game is a bit confusing. Goals aren't clear in some levels and I was dying seemingly at random (still have no idea what was killing me). Good job nonetheless!
Thank you very much for playing!
Interesting concept, a bit confusing at the start but with a little bit more polish, controls were a bit wonky on some parts, there is potential for a neat and unique puzzle game.
Thank you!
Amazing game with a very innovative and interesting idea! Great job!
Thank you for playing!
Nice idea but I had trubles with knowing what to do and where to go
Thank you, we'll remember that!
Cool idea and good graphics)
Thank you!
There's a lot of potential here for a really good puzzle game but it just doesn't work properly, the pipe switching is buggy, and the game doesn't properly communicate to the player where the goal is
Thank you for playing, we'll take it into account
Pretty cool concept with this game! I like the idea of being an AI that is diving through wires and trying to get to another location. I think for me, the main gameplay mechanic could have been conveyed better. There were a lot of times when I was definitely in range of another pipe, but clicking it didn't move me there; I was only able to move to specific pipes from where I was, or I had to search for the right place the click, and it didn't feel consistent. I think that could be fixed by having all pipes in range of you be clickable, or making it really obvious where you have to click on the pipe (e.g. clicking on ends of pipes only).
I reached the 3rd level with the house, but the inconsistency with pipe switching made it hard to move on. I think if that mechanic is made more consistent, this would make this solid concept ever better, so great job on the creativity!
Thank you, we'll remember that!
Overall pretty good game. Gameplay took a while to figure out, but the visuals and music were great!
Thank you for playing!
cool concept and great work!
Thank you!
After it took me some time to figure out what I was doing, I have to say this is a great concept. Truly original idea I would say. The puzzles were good, but the difficulty increase could maybe balanced a little bit better. The 2nd level for example was one of the harder ones, as I had still no idea what to do and suddenly those blobs can kill you.
For graphics I would say that sometimes it is tough to get a good overview. Especially in the buildings, the different floors and rooms visually just block the easy recognition of the wires. I don't know how, but it would have been easier to get a better overview of the wires.
But those are just details and the main part is, that the game play just feels good
Thank you!
Very good idea and nice art but it took a while for me to understand the controls
Thank you, we'll take it into account
I like the concept of this puzzle game and the design itself! I feel that a visual tutorial would make a significant improvement for the player since it did take me a few minutes to figure out what to do (maybe that's just a me problem XD). But other than that, this game is fun.
Thank you!
Great game. I love the art, and the main machanics are also really good and fun. Its just that I was really confused in the begining. eventually I figured it out, but I think some sort of tutorial could help. But It was still a really fun experience!
Great game. Keep it up♥
Thank you for playing!
Smart concept, nice assets. Agree that signposting and direction could be improved, but there is a good level of polish!
Thank you very much!
