Lux Machina

Really nice atmosphere! I'll be honest, I didn't read most of the text (if I'm able to move around, you better be sure I'll start moving around 😜) but beat the game regardless.

I still need to play a lot of games... but this is among the best so far.

• The text feels weird. It shouldn't expand centered, but from the left (for example) as it makes the text move as it is writting, which makes it harder to read. So you're encouraged to press space to expand it to go around that. ...and that leaves you with barely enough time to read. We should have more control over the text. Or make it take a longer time before disappearing, just enough to at least read it twice (to make sure slow readers are fine). I personally prefer when I get to decided when i skip the text.
• Gave up on the room with the door and the two companions. What was I supposed to do? Whenever i switch to my character, the companions were getting back to me, not letting me lining them up for the laser. I tried some weird solution to quickly block them with the door by unswitching it, but the timing was off. I tried having the companions far away, but they were being retrieved anyway, and got buggy (I'm willing to give it another try btw)
• By the way, when i tried that, the blue robot got stuck in the right door. Weird. That "debug" feature allowed me to restart that level, which was welcome. That's a tip for game jams when you have several levels: Have a way to restart. Since it's a jam, we might expect weird collision issues. That way there is a solution! The restart button was very welcome.
• Sometimes the laser doesn't register well. As someone else said, it neded to be more on the right for a crystal.

That said, the atmosphere is pretty cool and the dialogues are interesting. I mean, for what I was able to read :< The sounds are also subtle, so i think they work well. Nice work!

Love the vibe that this game gives. I like how the player character doesn't do shit and the companions do everything, it holds true to the theme.

One of the things I saw that could be improved is the switching of characters. Very annoying to have to click the same button again to go to the main character. Would have been easier to use 1,2 and 3 to just switch between or 1 button that keeps switching between all of them.

All in all good game

WHY?!??! WHY DO I HAVE TO GET RID OF THE LITTLE BUDDIES??!!?!?!? Apart from that great gam......hold on, why are there more buddies in the banner? I want to play with them too!

Nice game! Aside from the leftover debug keys I don't see any problems, there are 2 little things however:

• The music was too quiet and I had to crank up my volume, but it's that that big of a deal really.
• When you get to the second companion and you want to switch between the two companions, you gotta first switch to the player and then the other companion(for example: 2 -> 1 -> 3 instead of 2 -> 3).

Cool game! Very immersive. I'm not sure if there were two endings? Mine was quite sad haha. I looked like there was some sort of puzzle but I couldn't figure it out.

Nice! I definitely got some portal vibes from it. It had some pretty good ideas, I think it would have benefit from a few more levels, but you accomplished a lot in the time given. good work!

The game was broken for me! I couldn't move, and it was constantly skipping to the next level after the dialogue was over. It was really weird.

Neat little game! Had tons of polish and a cool ending, reminded me a lot of the first Portal.

Great concept and execution, I genuinely didnt want to give away my companions.

Just two minor criticisms. I had one issue where a vertical laser couldn't light up a crystal unless I aimed it at its right, perhaps an off centre collision box. Also when you skip the text typing it moves to the next sentence too fast to read.
