I liked it, but my game seemed to be unwinable? Maybe I was just missing something though.

Cool game! wish the player moved a bit faster and there was some more sound.

Not a huge fan of the lighting but whatever.

Cool idea, good graphics. Guy should definitely move faster.

Good concept. Was a little plodding at points moving the player around. Nice game.

There was a glitch that after walking over the power button, you ended up always being able to turn the screen off by pressing space. Pretty annoying. Also, the game was unwinnable!
Otherwise, good job finishing something!

Great use of theme and nice graphics. If the guy moved faster I would have restarted to fix the mistake I made -- but as it was I trapped myself.

Would fix the bug of power button and the moving speed later :)

I thought it was unwinnable for a while there! Cool concept, really good implementation, but could have used more sound/music and faster walking. Logical puzzle games are definitely some of my favourites.

Cool game idea, would of been better with pixel art, but it still looks good.

Can't find the end, but still great idea ! I don't know if it is a bug or i'm stupid, but the final step seems impossible to me.
But i loved the idea of breaking the screen !

The random nature of the tape over the screen sets the player up to be trapped in what appear to be unwinnable scenarios. Also at one point I hit a bomb, and it didn't break anything but a piece of tape appeared over the screen anyway so I think that fudged me over even more.

What an amazing idea! That really surprised me. A really well working game mechanic. Not sure if I finished the game though, there was an area to the bottom right I couldn't enter. Even pressed the power button!

Another rule: The last two hole you made would keep opened, and you can break tapes.

I made a walkthrough here:

Really cool idea. I love the tape over the holes ^_^ I think with a little bit more work on the level design/puzzles this would be awesome but it's already a really nice game. Great work.

Was really nice until that "power off" button bit. Such a critical mechanic and it wasn't introduced at all before it is required to win the game.

Other than that, the concept was pretty cool :) I liked the tape over the holes lol.

Nice work, a very clever game! It's got a cool take on the theme, and a decent game to go with it. Perhaps the final trick could be a little easier to figure out though. The only other problems I had was with how much backtracking there was, and that what hole would be taped up wasn't clearly indicated. Overally, a very good attempt!

Nice concept! Wasn't expecting this from the screenshots.

Got stuck though haha.

Clever concept with breaking the screen and using the lighting to reveal more of the stage.

Smart take on the theme, I liked it. A bit too backtracking-ish but good none the less.
