How does your game fit the theme?
In this game, you're have to find your way through the spaceship under lockdown, so you need to open dozens of doors to get to the control room and lift off the lockdown. You don't know what's behind the control room's door, and you never know what's behind the door to every next level
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes (except the font)

Nice work! Engaging, clever puzzles & great nostalgic feel! I am having a hard time with the hitboxes/collision detection - is it closer to his feet or his head? Getting stuck on walls too much to beat the laser level, and hit by guards when I swear we're on adjacent tiles. Love the SFX, satisfying to pick up a key and so forth. The space hip hop music doesn't quite hit the same nostalgic feels -- ideally I think the goal is to capture the marooned / trapped anxiety, maybe something that starts relatively low-key and ratchets up as the level goes. I am hearing something along the lines of Metroid NES's Title screen & Chozos themes. Anyway, 'nuff said! Great job!

InterDOORmensionReally strong little puzzle game. Controls were tight, puzzles ramped up difficulty in the right way, music was on point. I would have liked just a *little* bit more leeway on the timing parts - I knew how to solve the problem but couldn't always get frame perfect inputs :-P. Great work!

InterDOORmensionThanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the vod again in the future here it is timestamped to your game
The addition of the laser level to shake things up is great and the mechanics of everything works well together

Window CrawlerMy favourite entry so far. The game is very fun to play. The art and sounds are great. The puzzles are all well-designed and get progressively more challenging, but not very hard to the point where it gets frustrating (except maybe for the laser race level). I particularly like the 7th one where you need to use the robot to get out of the room. I also really like the small dialogues, I think it's a really nice touch and adds a lot of charm to the game. Overall very solid entry!
I'd be glad if you could also check out an entry where i participated in : https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-11/rate/2531196
Fantastic game. Really great. I loved it (I'm a puzzle game fan, so it scratched all my itches).
I found the puzzles the perfect amount of challenging, which means they might be a touch too hard for some folks, but I loved it.
As far as criticism, if you want some, the only puzzle I felt was a little frustrating was the laser race. It felt more like a trial and error run than a puzzle. I didn't get to use my learned skills as much as I just had to do a couple runs to figure out where everything was. Does that make sense? I couldn't use my awesome puzzle skills and figure out the solution on the first try. And I thought the number "doors/blocks/locks" could've have been clearer if they were up or down. Without another one to compare it too, I wouldn't be able to tell at a glance.
Other than that. It's a perfect little game. I would go as far to say this is my favourite game of the jam so far. Great game. Great polish. But I am biased... I love puzzle games.

Where's the Door?Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad to hear that you liked my levels :)
As for the laser race, I totally understand your frustration. The idea was to make a level that would feel less like a puzzle, but more like an action-level to get a bit of rest from puzzles, and I tried to place some visual tips on how to go through the level (but I guess they were not clear enough). I received a lot of feedback that laser level appeared to people to be too difficult, so I'll reconsider my approach to such things in the future :D
That is some top notch puzzle design! The last bonus level had me rethinking my life choices but it was worth it in the end. Great work!

Night ShiftAmazing puzzle game! The visuals and audio are amazing and fitting and the puzzles are neither too hard nor to rasy. Especially since you can restart if you get stuck. The game feels very well polished and done overall, good job!
