Flo - The puzzle
WIN ALL SIX LEVELS TO UNLOCK THE ENDING!!! LET ME KNOW IF YOU BEAT THE GAME <3
WASD to move, R to slow restart. You lose control while being in the dark, so be careful. Best enjoyed in fullscreen.
The duty of bringing a magical flower to a enchanted place in an old mansion was given to Flo, a rusted robot. On her head, the robot carries the flower in a protected glass container. The flower instructs the robot in its movements, but only when it receives light. The flower will cease delivering instructions if there is no light, and the robot will continue to carry out the last instruction. Help the robot complete her final mission by navigating through the old mansion with six levels and a variety of unique mechanics.

A quite fine game, with appropriate difficulty and is quite intriguing to play. I just hope there would be more levels. Great music, very calming. The idea with the light is not particularly new but overall great job.
Fantastic entry, it's an interesting play on the old light and shadow puzzle styling, with an interesting twist!
Really fun game! im a bit confused about how it connects to the theme though
edit: I just realized you could see how it fits the theme on the rating page
Very cool game mechanic! I would love to see how you iterate on it, I'm thinking of mirrors, 'switches' that need to be lit up to be 'on', or a second controllable character that has some additional ability such as propagating light. I'm sure this can be on Steam one day if you want it to! To make it a bit more forgiving to play I would suggest adding a rewind ability, which allows the user to just undo a few seconds instead of resetting the entire level. I would also make the shadows a bit more forgiving by shrinking their 'hitbox'
Thanks for the feedback! I already prototyped some other mechanics like mirror, conveyer belt, button that always needs to be pressed... but they didn't make it to this jam submission because I almost ran out of time. Your suggestion on the rewind ability would suit the theme really well, since the robot can just play the instruction backwards. I'm not sure if the game will end up on Steam but if it does, I will gift everyone on itch a key!
Nice game, that's a cool mechanic. That last level was a real challenge!
Glad you enjoyed it! Not many people can beat the last level though, so congrats!
Uh, nice Game. The Idea with the light ist great and the riddles are getting pretty hard for me (in a good way) :)
Thank you :>. Glad you enjoyed it.
