Description
Samuel, is a game currently in development by myself and a friend; both in the final year of out degree's in Computer Games Design.
This is a game about a boy called Samuel, whom lives on an island above the clouds called Edgedale. Many mystical forces control the everyday lives of his kin, and in the darkness is an enemy known as the Groblin. Samuel must embark on a journey to recover the energy source stolen from Edgedale, using his puzzle solving skills along the way.
Please note that this game is still in development, the game you are about to play is the result of 4 weeks of work by two students.
Thank you, your feedback is essential.

Developer Updates
Changes, Fixes & Additions:
- Fixed an issue where using the spyglass when traversing levels would invert the normal and underworld textures.
- Fixed an issue where the player would sometimes be occluded in the secret area(s) of the temple.
- Changed the way the player is spawned in the levels.
- Added a script to each door that stores the last door used and sets the player back to that door when they return to the level from another.
- Added a script that tracks the players puzzle history; when a puzzle has been completed, it now stays that way. Even when leaving and returning the the level concerned.
- Added a Camera Shake effect to create a greater aesthetic when stone doors move.
- Added a sound for the movement of pedestals.
- Added a sound for the final state of the pedestals, locking in to place.
- Added the background music again.
- Added a sound for the movement of the large stone doorway.
- Changed the way the player is required to push and pull objects; they now only need to push up and down when holding interact.
- Changed the collision on the benches in the first area of the temple, Samuel can no longer glitch onto them in an unruly manner.

Controls work pretty well. I'd make the camera angle controllable in some fashion. A short cutscene of the battle outside would make a nice theme. Music, of course. It is somewhat reminiscent of tomb raider...
Thank you for the feedback.
