First time I tried I was so enthralled by this game. Only now I found the time to dig through it reached the third level with much satisfaction. I had some complaints but as I progress they go away it all click toghether like the words that have been found in the objects. I started to love that the walls are not depicted like the object and slowly you learn it is the number that tell you the distance.

I felt like being an inahbitant of flatlandia.

The only small problems  is that I would have loved a even a minimal soundtrack or an echo to immerse myself more in the research

I tried, and I was lost at first, but I've done the first lesson! On the second one, I understood that some letters appear when moving (but it was hard for me with an azerty keyboard :/). However I couldn't figure out why I couldn't invert colors and change case on some occasions.

Very original concept nonetheless! This type of dimension makes us think differently.

Thank you very much for the feedback! I updated the game itch.io page with better instructions, hope it can be of some help

I'm intrigued by the concept but I couldn't figure out what to do

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! What exactly did you find hard to figure out?

This is a really unique concept!

That being said, this game needs a proper tutorial. It’s very complex and it took me 15 minutes to even understand the basic rules. There are a lot of concepts to introduce and I think for a game like this, you’ll need to hand-hold the player and introduce one at a time.

However, when I actually understood the rules, I felt accomplished completing a task.

I do appreciate that a lot of thought went into this and the concept is very cool. Good work!

Took me a while to figure this one out at first, but wow. This is probably one of the most unique games I have come across for this jam, and it's extremely well implemented. Clearly a lot of thought went into its design. Well done!
