I was amazed by how well the portals worked. I didn't experience any issues with them, and I was surprised because most games struggle with portals, especially in game jams, but yours was good! Great Job!

How does your game fit the theme?
doors and portals are somewhat the same thing right?
yah i just wanted an excuse to make a portal ripoff
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
mostly

A small and simple game as an homage to portal.
However, I'm kind of sad it doesn't have any sound, and there were some gameplay tweaks that could've made it more interesting, like:
- Rotate the position of the doors prior placing them
- The slow-mo should be toggled, not held
Also, there were some levitating platforms with small enough gaps at the edges that made the character fall.
Fun little portal remake. I wished movement was more polished because it is very easy to fall of the platform and it was quite frustrating. Overall fun game. Especially ragdolly enemies!
I'm pretty impressed you were able to get the Portal mechanic in good enough form for a jam! I also forgot that I had the ability to punch and thought I had to figure how to use the portals to get rid of enemies. Maybe an idea for the sequel. Great work!
Really cool game! Very fun to play, I love the portal mechanic combined with the punching/action dynamics. Good job!
Fun game, I really enjoyed the idea of (what I felt it was) fast paced action level with portals. Definitely looking forward for some updates!
Great game! Awesome concept with the dude punching, and adding a shooting mechanic would be fantastic. Imagine shooting through portal doors to kill dudes– that would be awesome. Overall, a very fun game. Great job! 👍
Good portaling game. I broke it by putting successive portals! :D
I picked up that golden thing so fast didn't even see what it was :D I love these fast-paced, speedrunning compatible games, the portal mechanics worked, the movement was good, good fun! Is it just me or that hand reminds me of something else entirely.. just me? okay If you ever gonna expand the game I'll definitely check it out 👍
Add a speedrun timer to this immediately! I would be hooked for a good 30+ mins. The movement is really good and portal placement feels (mostly) intuitive. Refine the whole thing a bit, add some variety and other features, and I think it could feel like a neon white-like game. I would absolutely play a more fleshed out version of this!
I'm not sure if something was configured wrong on my end, but there wasn't any sound - just any basic sounds would improve this game a lot. Also, fixing up wall friction and movement on moving platforms would be great. The portals can be easily exploited to get out of bounds, and when you place them on top of eachother you get a funky visual. Some things to improve / leave in for fun!
As for doors... uh... portal's are definitely just really cool doors, so I approve. Nice and fun experience overall.
thanks for the feedback! I’m working on an update right now to improve the graphics, add proper UI, and also a speed run timer ha ha :D (me and my cousin were racing to get the best time and we were just using our phones to time ourselves lol). Sadly, I can’t release the better version until the game jam is over because I’ll get kicked out of the judging lol, but after that I’ve got an update already cookin. Glad you enjoyed!
Super fun game, dude! that mix with portals made me play more than I imaginated.. Only thing that I think would be great is if the player could jump
