Nice grame! I loved your camera animations. Sometimes the controls didn't reacted, which made the inverted controls a bit confusing. The puzzles were fun and it was really impressive how much you got done during the 48h. I enjoyed playing the game very much.

Great puzzle design! I struggled a bit with the controls and got stuck on the title page on my first boot, but the game had lots of unique, fun moments. Good work!

Key TwisterNeat idea and puzzles, but I did find the mirrored controls to be very disorienting.

Double DungeonI really like these puzzles, and I actually did kinda like the warped controls. Not that they were needed, but it really gave each dimension a distinct difference from the other. Some of the sprites do look like they're cut off kinda abruptly, but this is a game jam, not an art jam lol.
Just a small thing - there are a few puzzles where you had to push boxes around in a tiny area. It felt very fiddly because I was only moving the boxes a square at a time before switching dimensions. You can keep the exact same puzzle but just expand the space it's happening in so that when you switch dimensions you move the box two squares instead of one. This makes switching dimensions feel more "worth it", at lease for me.

Ray MazingI really like the concept of switching between dimensions! It certainly adds a layer of depth to traditional block puzzles. Though, like many have already mentioned, the reversed controls are really annoying. The zooming transition between the two dimensions also felt a bit slow and nauseating, I think the transition should be sped up and be replaced with a fade effect. Also, it seems I can only carry one key at a time? When I was already carrying a key, I picked up another and then opened a door, only to find out that both my keys were consumed. Other than those things, I do like the concept here, some of the puzzles would only work with the added layer of dimension switching, so good job!

Sausage Linked!Thanks for your feedback! We are planning on removing the reversed controls as soon as itch.io allows us to update the game. Like you and many others have pointed out, the controls really were only there to add more difficulty.
The carrying of keys is a little different then you described. Keys have specific doors they unlock, and their corresponding doors are opened immediately upon grabbing the key, so you don't actually carry any of them.
It might sound weird but I was trying to think about how to move in the regular world, before going to mirror cause I was bad at the mirror controls.

Ooze SquaredThe concept is alright but the execution of it could use some work.
It’s a bit clunky with the controls, and for some reason the menu screen was completely black for me and I had to try clicking around randomly to progress.
Overall, for me the movement mechanics and graphics could use a bit of polish, but at least the game and level design is good

Wrath Of The JarhandPretty solid execution of the idea and pretty good level design. Reusing earlier areas was a fun idea! I do agree that swapping so often in some solutions gets a bit tedious but it's fine, great job! P.S. Good choice in music as well!

Don't Break the Chain!I loved the swap dimenssion effect at first but having to change so many times between dimensions make it a little too repetitive. But I really like the game ^^. Nice job!

Inferno - GMTK2021Really cool! It has a really nice twist with the boxes and the controls being reversed. I trully liked it! Good work!
Submitted
Inferno - GMTK2021nice game! I like the idea of the two different dimensions. Got stuck on one part and couldn't figure it out. Also, bugged it out a couple times so I kinda wish there was a restart level button. Overall, good work!
I'd appreciate it is you could play/rate my game as well! :)

Tie The Knot (GMTK Game Jam 2021)I like this ! it's like a simplified "Thomas was alone". Great game and the control schema felt very smooth, including the swapping of characters.
