Really excellent concept here! I'd love to see how much further you could push things! ^_^

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Actually we had a lot of ideas but only had time to implement the core elements :p

Submitted

Well I hope you keep working on it! <3

Submitted

Original idea, cool puzzles and nice graphics :) 

The font was a bit hard to read sometimes and the background music was a bit repetitive for my taste. but this is a solid game you made here. Good work

Developer

Thank you for playing! Indeed we need to get rid of that font and yeah we didn't spend too much time on the music :)

Submitted

This was a really cool idea. I spent a ton of time trying to figure out these puzzles. Good work.

If you have time please play and rate my game:

Thank you!

Very impressive. The design was intriguing and I liked the art style. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Nice little puzzle game

Developer

Glad you liked it!

Submitted

An awesome puzzle, enjoyed it through! The oriental style is mesmerizing, but some letters in the font used sometimes are quite hard to read (mostly "m" and "w"). Still, a wonderful job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing!
Indeed we need to use a better font.

Submitted

Dang, that was really good! I've played a handful of puzzle games for this but I think yours might be my favorite when it comes to actually solving the puzzle. My favorite part was when the gimmick first kicks in and you realize what the game is all about, really nailed that "ahhh" moment.

Developer

Wow thank you!

Submitted

One of the best puzzle game. And you made it complete. The level passed design impressed me. I can see your plan in your game. Very nice and skillful in designing game. 

Developer

Thank you! We think we still need some work on the puzzles but glad you already like it!

Submitted

Kinda trippy and very unique puzzle game! I'm really bad at these, to be honest. But, I'm a fan of the music, sound effects and visuals. As for the game itself, I can't provide great feedback but it was fun figuring out some of these puzzles.

Developer(+1)

Thanks!

Yeah we were trying to create a psychedelic atmosphere with the sounds and visuals.

I must say the puzzles need better design but that requires some time because it was our first puzzle game (for me it was even my first game :p)

Submitted

Bloody hell geting through those levels was a mind bender
Very original, great level design,
would like to have a "total moves" not just the current rebirth count 

Developer

Yeah it is supposed to be a bit trippy :p

Total move count as a final score is a good idea.

Thanks for playing and reviewing.

Submitted

Defiantly an interesting little puzzle game, one issue is the very low resolution does make the text font hard to read, still nice game.

Developer

Thank you! Yes we definitely need to work on the font readability.  

Submitted

Very unique and original!
Challenging levels. Great atmosphere. Awesome art and music

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I like, level design and souds. Nice game thank for it!

Pleasecheck or too:https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/461656

Thank you!

The animations for the main character were actually rather good.

Music as well was rather relaxing.

I liked how psychadelic the art and desgin of the game is. Rather nice. I felt it was a little confusing how the level would just change......but a good game none the less.

Developer

Yes that was our to goal to make something trippy.

You're right that the level switching is confusing at first, we might need to introduce it in a more obvious way. We were thinking to show all the levels at the same time but then probably it would make the game too easy..

Submitted

The game has an amazing art direction and a strong core mechanic. One of my favourites during the jam.

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Really nice take on the controlling multiple people in different levels. I think the swapping between them each move worked well and the theming with the different environments, font and sound track were spot on. Great game!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words!

Submitted

This puzzle game has an clever and interesting approach. It took me couple tries to get use to the movement on multiple levels without failing. The unique level design is quite difficult but also fair and can be solved without failing.. except at the last stage, with 3 levels, this was kind of confusing and challenging :D

However, the game is great! Thumb up!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback! Yeah the last ones with 3 levels need better design since they feel a bit random right now.

Submitted

Man, this game deserve a lot of love! It is solid! The atmosphere, the music, the puzzles, the difficulty curve! It is just perfect! Well done :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Wow, excellent concept, and quite a playable game.

Developer

Glad you liked it!

Submitted

Excellent game. Very smooth and coheseve. I like difficulty curve, level design and souds. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback!
