Vault of Stars by graebor
Solve puzzles to rescue stars from the Collector's vault!

Solo project! I used a few of my own existing helper scripts, reused some old sfx, and did some remixing of music that I had written previously. Aside from that, everything's from scratch during the weekend. Proudly made using Godot.
Controls are described in the game, but just in case: - Arrows/WASD: Move and raise/lower - R: Reset current puzzle - Space: Advance dialog
There's 3 regions to progress through, and even a few story beats to tie everything together. Can you make it to the end?
If you have any problems running the browser version, a windows download is available as well.

Nicely done :thumbsup:
I also made my game alone during the Ludum Dare 58, I can see a lot of work was put into it! ^^
This has Steam game potencial, loved the art works, music and puzzles.
Really easy to understand.
Nothing more to add, this is perfect <3
I really liked the entry tho, nice art, nice vibes, nice puzzles!
I freed all the stars and left collector raging :)
Confrontation: "Yeah, I don't know what I am doing"
Awesome audio, visuals and idea. Cool that different types of connections also looked different. Really liked it, just would like having a guide for the Confrontation. Actually beat it by pure luck after a few resets.
While I like that you're left to figure out for yourself how to solve the puzzles, by Fearful Clouds I was beginning to have trouble understanding *why* the correct solutions were correct, and I had to give up entirely on Fearful Clouds 5 because I just have absolutely no idea what you're supposed to do (unlike @blue-pin-studio, it was the middle one that stumped me).
Great job! I hope this does well!
