Wow, this was so fun to play and had me thinking! The puzzles are designed really well, and I really liked the teleport animation. The layers concept is so cool, when I first read "layers", I thought it would be vertically, so this surprised me. I was going to leave a comment about the sfx being too loud, but then I discovered the nice options menu, glad you took the time to add that!

This is a great puzzle game! Find my video review below:

really cool level design! Just have complain on the part where sometimes i mess up the space for jump haha

Such a cute little game.

The idea and the puzzles are really great.

The graphics are a bit too minimalistic for my taste, but the soundtrack is awesome :)

Very cool level and puzzle design! The art could use some polish but the gameplay is really amazing! Well done (: I'd love if you tried and rated my game as well :D

Fun little puzzle game!  Great interpretation of the theme!  Got a little too hard a little too fast for a guy who's not great at puzzles like me :)

I really like the concept, it's kinda similar to other games i've seen, but completely different at the same time.  The music was very nice and the instructions mostly clear. I'd only change stuff like adding restarting with R or not swapping with space, since I always kept swapping when I wanted to jump. But overall it's pretty nice!

Pretty good.  Really gave me a nostalgic feeling of old flash games, which was wonderful.  The layer swapping was an interesting mechanic as well. I think the only things games like this are missing is a touch of modernity, such as 2d lighting.  But great job bringing this project to life in such a short amount of time

Really interesting mechanic. The levers throw a massive wrench into the puzzle.

Really cool game I especially like how the fluent and easy to understand it is. The animation of the two aliens teleporting away in the spaceship is also really cute :D

  • I’m not a fan of the art but it’s good that the style is consistent

  • Sometimes I got mixed up and thought it was space to jump

  • Some levels were really challenging but I had a lot of fun. It was quite satisfying to beat them

  • I think this is intentional but in one of the levels there is an invisible wall: https://imgur.com/a/pyYC8ym If it is intentional, I think some other kind of special wall tile should be placed there instead to signify that only boxes can pass through it

  • I wasn’t able to get past the “Don’t let the box fall down here!” level. Could you show me the solution? I really wanted to finish the game. It’s definitely my favorite fire boy and water girl-like girl this jam

Of course! And thanks for the kind words!

Ahh, I see, thank you so much! The issue with my attempt is that I was using the purple guy to switch the blue lever instead of the green one

Submitted

Great game an  cool puzzles!

Also, there appear to be some problems with layering, so there might be some invisible walls. Sorry! Most days they aren't invisible.

Submitted(+1)

Ah, yes, I ran into that issue with the one-way (as in, only boxes can pass through) walls
