Nice game! The rules are a bit unclear as in, what will and won't update, but other than that, it's a very interesting idea!

Submitted

A bit tricky to undertand but a nice concept

Developer

Thanks

Submitted

It was really tricky but I thought it was really cool. Definitely inspired by that chess game that just came out?


Nice job, would like to see it expanded with more of a tutorial and graphics.

Developer(+1)

yeah it was inspired by chess 5d. thank you!

Submitted

A tutorial would be great because I'm still not completely sure how walls disappear. The concept is pretty good and if there was a tutorial that explained the mechanics the game would be a lot more interesting to play, rather than just trying random moves and hoping some walls disappear haha. Overall a nice idea though, you could add more levels after the jam :D

By the way, I used p5.js too! Did you have any issues getting keyboard inputs to work?

Developer

Ill try to work on it after the jam if i feel its a good idea. I haven't had any issues with p5js keyboard. If you want the source code of the game ask. But its not good code lol, it was temporary code for the jam. if i will make another version, ill rewrite the code probably.

Submitted

if you don't mind, it would be great to see the code, since I had a bunch of issues relating to keyboard input which I managed to work around, but I'd like to see how other people did it.

I beat it, but gosh darn it, I have no idea how I did.

Developer

great xD. thanks for playing!

Submitted

Fun when I figured it out - could use a bit of a tutorial 

Developer

Might add a tutorial after the jam if this idea is good. thanks for playing

Submitted

Great puzzles I wan't expecting this kind of challenge when I fist saw the game but i am happily surprised. it was a super fun, great job!

Developer

Thanks!!

Submitted

Hey, it's like that new 5D chess game.

I like the mechanic, but I don't think I full grasp how it works. The walls disappearing seems to happen almost at random, and the movement rules seemed kinda strange. Maybe that's just me.

I appreciate the entry regardless though. Good job!

Developer (2 edits)

The walls appear depending on how i made the map so its not consistent through maps. but the rule for the walls to disappear is:

On top of the wall is a past player, to the left of the wall is empty, and you need to step back into the board.

this rule is completely nonsense and is just arbitruary since i didn't feel like thinking of something. Though i might add a tutorial if this idea turns out to be good.

also yeah this game was inspired by chess 5d.

Thank you!

Submitted

Cool game. too hard for my small brain to finish but its cool

Submitted

Cool game!

Submitted

Really nice game! I got some cool 5D chess vibes from it.

Submitted

The mechanic is so weird, I love it! The moment when you realize that you are actually moving in some sort of a 3D game is so cathartic, please develop this idea!

Developer(+1)

Thank you, i took inspiration from chess 5D to make this. so yeah you are moving in 3D. But with one dimension being almost timelike, but not 100% like time. :P

Submitted

It's a bit confusing. I don't entirely understand how most of the game works, so maybe a more in-depth tutorial would be nice to explain the nuanced mechanics.

Developer

I mostly wanted people to figure out the mechanics themselves, I might update the game with a tutorial if this idea is good tho. Thank you for your feedback.

Submitted

Interesting idea, however the effect made it hard to orient what was happening in the game, maybe make the animation faster or just remove the transition for smoother gameplay. Overall great and uniqueidea.

Developer

I guess yeah, thanks for your feedback.

Submitted

Love the idea for this game! Simple design really highlights the gameplay. Hope you enjoyed the jam and please review my game too!

Developer

Thanks for playing, ill try to review the games of the people who commented and other games.

Submitted

Thanks! Hope you enjoy the games!

Very awesome idea actually! Wondering, how do I win? :)

Developer

By travelling through time to touch the yellow square (I.e clicking Q to go to the past while you are in the same spacial position as the yellow square, until you hit the yellow square). You cant touch the yellow square through space in these levels since it the board gets updated the moment you step in it, and the yellow square disappears.

Submitted

This one's trippy in a good way! Definitely a solid puzzle game with a unique twist on the theme.

I would like it to be a bit more clear where my future move will take me though. It also seemed like the goal kept moving around (not sure if that was intentional or not).

Developer

The goal moving around was intentional tho nonsensical. So you have to reach the goal through time not through space. Thanks for playing.
