My difficulty rating is based on medium diffiulty. However, be warned, because the default when you select a new file is hard. This removes ~2/3s of the save and makes the game feel very unbalanced. I think it really should not be the default.

The game is a short demo of pretty basic needle. There are some basic gimmicks like some keys and water. Overall though, these don't really change how it plays. One screen has a white and red key block stacked on top of each other, making the player only see the white one. This makes it look like the red key isn't required, which is a bit confusing at first.

The biggest issue with the game is the "exit" screen. The difficulty here is significantly higher, with there being corners, a double diagonal, and imo the worst offender, a jump that should give you the walk off align but doesn't, making it very awkward. Also, for some reason this room had horrible lag for me. Unsure if the lights or something were broken in here, but my game was running much slower for this one room.

The final elevator ride is a cool idea, but it's painfully slow, and the difficulty is nonexistent. It's so much easier than the rest of the game, but particularly the previous screen. This takes you to a clear screen, which unfortunately doesn't have a save.

Overall, the game is pretty good for a first work. The atmosphere is nice, with some cute lighting and a nice song, as well as the hints of exploring some facility. However, the gameplay is pretty bland, and very poorly balanced. I would work on making the difficulty feel smoother.

P.S. The word is "personnel" not "personal".

Short but decent demo! Only covering one stage of what hopefully is going to become a full game, I enjoyed the 10 minutes it took me to beat this.

Even though it uses mostly default renex engine assets, the game still has some care put into its presentation. Apparently there's a lightning system built into renex engine, which I've seen used for the first time in this game, to pretty decent effect. Sometimes the screens end up too dark to see comfortably in a lit room, and there not being a light around the kid makes playing under those conditions harder than it should be.

The level design is pretty good; the screens are varied but still feel cohesive. There's a screen with a couple of required corners that feel out of place. You can get the correct align to deal with them pretty easily, but I can see someone that doesn't know the setup struggle, especially as the rest of the game doesn't really ask you for technical knowledge like that.

There are also a couple other nitpicks, like some tiles covering spikes that can still kill you, or some stretched-out blocks looking a bit odd.

Still, this game makes me excited to see a full version come out! I will definitely keep an eye out for it.
