A great concept, but I feel it slightly misses the theme, which is a shame, because this is such a good little game.

Really clever, and well executed idea. The visuals are also very smooth. Well done!

Developer

Reminds me vaguely of the game from last year where you could only see 1 of 4 views at a time (inFAILtration featured in the best games from video). I do certainly like this one, and enjoyed it. Loved the aesthetic as well.

A very cool idea and interpretation of the theme! I think the visuals, the concept and general execution are very strong. I also loved the length of this for a gamejam submission, just enough content to sell you on the idea and why it's cool, and it was satisfying to get through.  I think the only real pain point might be in tutorialization since it's so minimalist. I think something that would helped me get to the concept faster would be if you saw the maps come together when you beat a level or die, so it's clear that you hit an enemy . I think that could show any confused players what the relationship is between the three maps if they hadn't clued into it already

Thanks for testing the game !
I understand exactly what you are saying , i'll keep this in mind and really means a lot when people take time and really explain the issue :)
Cheers!

Cool puzzle game. This game could be great on mobile format as well

Developer

Thanks for playing!
i'll keep that in mind  :)

This was a really good submission. I felt the minimalist design worked perfectly, both graphically and in terms of audio. Overall great job!

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

What a trippy concept! I'll admit, it took me a bit to wrap my brain around the three-way view, but it was definitely worth it in the end! I could easily see this becoming a successful mobile game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing ! wow well that's very encouraging :)

Submitted(+1)

Did not know what I was doing at first, however I learnt very quickly by experimentation which is very nice, sometimes a written tutorial doesn't really work especially in game jams, so great job there. Wish there were more levels, really neat and fun game!

Submitted

I'd also really appreciate feedback for my game (Only if you want to) https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/695512

A very elegant puzzle game.  At first 20 seconds I was wandering around the map without touching anything and not knowing what's going on. After I died, I start to realize the mechanic of game. Love it. Wish I can re try the level after I die.

Developer

thanks for playing ! i might take time and polish it a bit in the future :) cheers !

Lovely little zen puzzler with a great concept I would definitely play a full version,  the only things I would say is that some of the the puzzles need a bit of refinement but its a 48hr jam so I get it and you might want to lock the player to a grid just cause it fells a bit weird to hit the very edge of a wall when you can only move in cardinal directions idk?

Thanks for testing the game , totally with you on this one ,  Grid style movement would look sweet ! :)

Submitted(+1)

Woah nice! Love the style

Developer

Thanks !

took me a bit to get what's happenin - but wow that's a cool idea o:

good job!

very nice idea! looks suuuper clean! :)

Good Job! :)

The idea is nice and you play with it well in the first few levels! The minimalist look is nice, but everything is quite tiny and hard to look at.

The main thing I disliked was that every time you die, you have to click Play again and start over. The game isn't really a puzzle game like advertised. I am also not a fan of the level desing in the last two levels: I shouldn't win right after entering the room.

On the other hand, what I enjoyed were the sound effects and how the character bounces off things :). With a few changes, this game could be really great! It also reminded me of my similarly-named game "Splitt", haha :D.

Developer(+1)

wow okay firstly , thanks for really testing out the game.
I understand its cons now , hopefully i might fix and polish the game in the future.
To be honest i should fire that level designer (me) he panics a lot.
Looks like the idea "puzzle" i was going for did not quite work out.
Thanks again for really testing and pointing out specifics (hard to find people like that). Good luck , cheers !

Submitted(+1)

No problem, I'm always happy to help! Good luck if you keep working on the game!

Submitted(+1)

I had no idea what was going on until I read the description, my bad on that part. But once I understood it ended up being really really fun. So good job!

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing :)

Nice game, I wish there were more levels and that there was text in the main menu.

Developer

thanks for playing :)
 levels? looks like i need to polish and keep the level designer(me) over night!

Submitted(+1)

Wow it's fun game and super clean, amazing

Developer(+1)

thanks alot for playing :)

Submitted(+1)

Really interesting what you can do with as little of information as possible. I really like that.

Maybe the screens could be more bigger for more clearer view?

Developer

thanks for testing ! Sure needs alot of polish :)

Submitted(+1)

I wish the goal of each level was more advanced than just "reach the grey square." It's fun to pop the orange triangles, but the game doesn't seem to reward or even track how many the player takes out.

I liked your clean, geometric art style. I just wish everything was bigger!

Developer

thanks for testing the game , looks like I need to work on my level design . Good luck
