That was fun! The level design was clever, and the puzzles had just the right amount of difficulty.

Well done.

Throwing sharp things is always a good use of energy.
Good puzzling and the ending was entertaining.

Ah! Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light!

Lots of potential here.

Congrats on your submission!

Just pure awesome. Great new mechanic, fun puzzles, cute story tie-in. I got the "No time to explain" easter egg as well but the ending was still a surprise.

Really clever level design on this one! I would love to see a version built with some animation and sound in.
