I loved this. I feel like I spent a lot of the time confused but I think I got to the end. Unless there is more than one ending. Really fun to play regardless though!
Thanks for playing!
You're over half way through - use the doors to block out any interlopers. You can use the codes you know to get back to where you were quickly. Hope we get a part two!
Ack! I figured it was the end because it closes the game. I'll have to give it another shot. Thanks for letting me know I can shortcut everything with the codes I have!
this was fantastic, should definitely be getting more attention. i didn't even realize what kind of game this was until it happened. in retrospect really should have seen that coming. i usually hate those types of games too, but combining it with such an effectively written narrative with smart satisfying puzzles worked so well. i love any game that makes me whip out a notepad, even if i'm under extreme duress while skimming and scribbling codes as fast as i possibly can
Thanks for playing!
Glad to hear you enjoyed, and that it worked as a genre shift. Always good to keep a notepad near the computer just in case.
Thanks again!
This was GREAT! My favourite game from the jam by far, I just love this genre of super enclosed, tense puzzle/ system games, and this was genuinely a really good one!
The presentation outside of the screen could be improved, just more detail and consistency in style could add a bit to the experience, and the creature wasn't exactly scary, but overall this game worked so well that I'd just love to see more of this from you guys.
PS. I only got the tooth problem by trying every number. Why is it 9, what did I miss?
Thanks for playing!
The tooth problem being 9 is a bug, it'll be fixed along with some other things after voting closes.
Feedback greatly appreciated, we've still got lots we'd like to add and change.
Thanks again!
Even though I got stuck on the last space maths question, I had a blast playing it. Easily one of my favourite games from the jam. Great execution, well done!
Thanks for playing!
Spoiler : All the info you'll need for the space maths is in Barry's files. Let us know if you need more hints.
Thanks again!
