Hi all. Thanks for playing! The Mac build we have up now should work better.

Really awesome graphics and music but the controls feel pretty clunky. I couldn't figure out what to do or what the controls were, pressing Space made the screen shake but I had no idea what effect it had. Also, while pushing random buttons I found that you must have left some debug shortcuts :P

Didn't know that you can also create games with python. ^^ The ground tiles really feel nostalgic, I really like them.
However walking was sometimes a little bit difficult when walking through narrow spaces with the collision detection.

I like the concept, but it feels so incomplete :( No info whatsoever, and the controls feel clunky because the movement doesn't match the scenario. I finished the puzzle and I won, but there's nothing else to do!

OK game, but nothing special.

I liked the graphics, but couldn't play properly - I was unable to figure out what to do, aside from shacking camera with 'space' and using noclip to get to the keystone

I like graphics, music i think that the controls can be polished a little more.

Graphics are quite nice and the controls are okay, but it would have really helped if there was any information whatsoever about what to do. XD I figured out how to reach the goal and win, but it didn't feel very rewarding because I just kept trying randomly until I got there! And the game could use another stage, since it's a bit short.

Good work, though. Hopefully you'll keep participating in LD and making even better games!

It was a good little puzzle and the music was nice. I really liked the mood of the game. Also, I started gamedev with PyGame so it was cool to see a PyGame project here :). Good job!
