I've been creating this puzzle game called The Seven Rooms with Löve for a while now. While I don't consider it polished or finished, it's progressed a lot over the last months and I'd like to share its current state. It's fully playable and contains over an hour of content.
Someone on Discord once said, it's like a Sokoban on ice in space
It is a really fun game. At first I thought it was too easy, but it gets really hard. The thing I like the most: The reload animation. It is gorgeous.
Level 2-7 took really long - I nearly gave up. And then I gave up at level 3-1. I know what I have to do, but it is just too frustrating. I peeked in the later levels by tweaking the save file. The new mechanic of the 3-* levels is an interesting addition to the block-pushing games i know.
The *-6 level feel strange:
1-6 introduces a new mechanic, but it is not used in the next level, but at later levels.
They do not seem to fit in with the other levels.
Their pacing seems off, because there is always a *-7 level afterwards. As a final level of a stage this would make more sense.
And just something tiny: I would like to use the enter key in the menu. Using the spacebar seem a little bit strange to me.
I want to tune the difficulty curve a bit before I finish the game. Currently, I think it has enough content, but other things are in need for an overhaul (especially some of the visuals).
The X-6 rooms are only needed for the story. I know that they are weird right now - that is their purpose. I hope that later the player can draw the connection between them and the "memory fragments".
