This is really great, I remember when I saw the first gif of the 3d mode activating in discord I was mind blown. The core mechanic reminds me a lot of Super Paper Mario, makes me wonder how we never saw a puzzle game in that 2d/3d swap style until now.

I had to give up on the second ball puzzle. I almost gave up on the first ball puzzle but I finally figured it out. For a long time I was trying to get a bounce-off-the-wall to get the ball to hit the switch twice style approach but that turned out to be a red herring, and I'm glad the physics didn't allow me to get "almost there" since that would have been more frustrating than finally realizing "ok, the ball just doesn't bounce back when hitting walls, that's just how it is."

The real approach to that first ball puzzle was definitely a great example of divergent thinking. I'm better at puzzle games where you can slowly build up a solution from less complex parts but this game demands very creative solutions, which I imagine is harder to design but leads to a bigger "aha moment", unfortunately I couldn't figure out the next level but I'm betting it requires a similar creative synthesis of all the elements that I just can't think of yet.

Really nice implementation of a simple idea with clean simple visuals. Wish there was a better indication of where I was in the orthographic view (I kept missing the hole in that button level!) but no real complaints aside from that. Nice game!

i beat the game!!! i feel like a genius!!! i was stuck on the final level, my friends watching couldn't figure it out either, but i had a solution i kept trying to do that everyone thought was a cheese strategy - it eventually worked, and turns out that's the intended solution!! i think that final level is actually great, but maybe there's some better way to communicate that that isn't an unintended strategy? i definitely felt like i cheated until i saw your other reply in these comments. otherwise, this game is outstanding!! it's super well made, and the fez-like perspective shift mechanic is REALLY well done and mind-bending! i also love how you did the art style - it must've been hard to get this working exactly the way you wanted in both 2d and 3d. incredible job!!!!

What a rad idea, great job. Great use of dimensionality, clean and consistent aesthetic, and great mind-bending puzzles. My only gripe would be that the last puzzle is a bit obtuse (or at least the way I solved it was). Maybe I'm just a dummy. Regardless, a great, tight package. Good work!

My favorite game of the jam so far! There is a solution to every level even if it may not seem like it at first. Stick with it and you will be rewarded! Great music, awesome visuals (love the design of the player character), stimulating puzzles that prod the imagination, and smooth game mechanics.

For the life of me I couldn't figure out how to get the last cog in level 4 (the first ball level), I spent a good while.

Seriously though, what an amazing concept and execution. The style is simple but fits so well, and the switch from 2D to 3D is seamless.

You really went hard on the challenging aspect of the puzzles, my head hurt.

Great idea. I gotta ask, is there a solution for the second ball puzzle?  I know that the ball needs to get to the O button, but I can't find a way. The ball just rolls off the moving platform. 

Super cool game! the perspective switching is an awesome mechanic that works really well. The transition is super smooth. I tried for a while but just could not figure out how to beat the level with the ball. But really amazing job! Also COGMO is super cute

Really cool game, I love how well you made the perspective shifting look and feel when using it! Great opportunity for many different puzzles and expansion
