I really liked the level design here, I solved the game the two possible ways (which is quite incredible for a jam!). The difficulty is consistently progressive and everything is taught without words (I love that). The only thing I would mention is that on the right path the key is more of a burden that you carry everywhere whilst on the left one is part of the puzzle and feels better. Great work!
Very well done! I don't know whether there were many valid options to use the key for or not, because I only saw one and went for it, but the idea of having a lot of options to use it wrongly is really cool, and a great example of how giving you only one of something you would expect to have a lot of can really create interesting outcomes!
Very nice little game!
I didn't read the description, and ended up at the end of the game with no key, but redid everything, and regret nothing!
Always cool to see more pico8 games! This is amazing! The step sound effect when you hold a move key is simply the best
Nice game! I like the puzzles a lot, very well done. The undo button is great, not sure what I'd do without it! Hahaha.
One of my favourites so far - though I'm not sure if I actually completed the puzzle the way it was intendeed, or if i just cheesed my way through it.
For those that are interested, after getting the blue switch on I pushed one of the 4 carts arranged in a square to the left of the switch room back with me and the key to the start and down, so i could push the key further through. If this game was meant to be open ended, this is great, if not the game is still really good. gets a 4/5/5 from me.
