Also the really clever designed reset system is nice. Even if you make mistakes or just didn't think your possible solution true (and it's actually wrong ^^) a restart brings you not to the very beginning but to a state where everything was fine and so gives you the chance to overthink the next steps again withour tedious repeating all the stuff you did before.
Mechanics on puzzlescript crushed my mind as always =)
Very good job, man!
(Maybe mention the checkpoints in your description though? They're a lot better than undoing and i could see how someone might never dare pressing R)
Thanks for the game!
Still working on solving it, but it's been a pleasure to play thus far.
Seriously. Less than 800 lines of puzzlescript, which includes level data and graphics. The mind boggles.
Awesome level design !
The compactness of the multiple stages of the puzzle is very impressive.
I thoroughly appreciate that restarting only restarts you back to the point where you most recently destroyed light sensitive blocks. I would have quit the game out of frustration otherwise, no doubt about it.
I was briefly disappointed when, upon reaching the orb, I realized that I wasn't done yet, but wasn't sure what to do. After shining light onto the orb and accomplishing nothing, I figured the only thing left was to get the orb out of the ground, so at least I had yet another couple of ah-hah moments there (the first being a false ah-hah).
