Clean artstyle, nice soundtrack.

Ooh that's an interesting one!  I feel like this could be very well expanded on- I'm not sure how- but I really like what you've got going here.  I was like "why does it want me to remember what path I took", and then I was the red capsule and just went... "Oh god- I totally don't remember what I just did".

Fun game!

2D in 3D? 3D in 2D? or maybe even 2.5D game? I don't know how to call it but thanks for how "New Start OID Way" was made it is surely one of more unique games I have seen.

Gameplay is simple but works. You have one player and the second player. The first sees the entire level with spikes and the flag while the second sees only the path he took and the flag. The first part is just a simple maze, go from A to B. The second part is more interesting because spikes this time are replaced with nothing, pits. It makes going fast through the levels more viable than tying to remember the path. Later levels don't have this problem but even then can be beaten by brute-forcing through them.

Music is very repetive and can become boring fast and with the fact that there is almost no other sounds this game can be played muted. But you had solid idea and you made a good game but it needs more playtesting

A memorizing puzzle game. Was fun to play. Try keeping a restart button for the level.

I like these quick, memorization games - like something out of Fusion Frenzy/Mario Party.

You should look into doing a WebGL build for future jams. Something simple like this would run perfectly fine and make it a lot easier to collect ratings!

This had a cool puzzle to it! I really liked it good job!

The controls take a minute to get used to because of the wacky camera angle, and the physics are a little funky lol. Only big issue I had with it was that you don't get to restart the level, but have to restart the whole game. But other than that, I like the low-res art style good job!

A one life puzzle where you have to remember the path to the exit, but the sad thing is that the path is always the same, rather than adjusting to the path you originally made

Sorry, I can't extract .rar files , so I can't rate you back :(

I hope that's okay :(

I ended up using an online converter, so I managed to play the game.

Nice game! I really liked the unique concept! Though I was personally not quite a big fan of the pixel stlye graphics. Another issue was that it was annoying having to redo everything after making a mistake in my opinion. It kind of gets frustrating.

But still, nice job!

The gameplay concept of this game was intriguing, but the penalty for dying was excessively harsh as it resulted in losing all progress. Restarting the level and allowing the player to attempt it again would be a better approach, as I lost interest quickly due to this drawback.

Despite this issue, the game was still enjoyable and had a level of randomness that added to its appeal.  Great job!

Neat game! It would be nice if there was someway to restart after you died. The music was also very loud and seemed to only be a loop of a few second sample, it would be nice to have the option to change how loud it was and have a bit more. I also noticed that if you spam move with the red character, you just wouldn't fall. Good job!

Submitted

Its a neat idea! I think the art direction and sound design could use some work, but the gameplay is nice. The one issue I found was that gravity doesn't work fast enough against those who try to fly over gaps on levels with hidden paths. I don't know if this was intentional or not.

Fun little puzzle game. Great job.

Nice brief puzzle game! 

Submitted

A very interesting game and take on the theme. It's a fun puzzle game though it gets a bit hard when your progress isn't saved and you die on level 3 and have to redo all other levels. I think maybe a visible grid would've been helpful for navigating easier?

But it's challenging and fun so good job!

Submitted

Good job on getting 39 ratings! However, can you please stop bumping old posts? It's really annoying.

I liked the song and sound effects and the simple and clean colors. However, the controls in isometric style became irritating, as WASD moves in diagonal and that tweeked my brain.

Also, I didn't find out what's the logic when there's only 1 block ground, as sometimes I make it right and sometimes I make the wrong move but there's no clear indication what's the pattern to follow.
