I like the idea, and the puzzles are interesting with a lot of potential, tho it being the main mechanic it feels stretched out without anything else to do. but for a 2 day jam it is good! overall it was a great. good job!

Developer

I was unfortunately busy during the first half of the jam, so I whipped this up in only 24 hours.  That's why it seems a little bare. I wish I had more time to expand on it, though. Thank you for your feedback!

I really enjoyed this interpretation of the jam theme! You artwork was very clean and the music felt like it fit in just right! This is a game I could see being EASILY expanded upon. Neat job!

Okay, but like, honestly? I love this. I was going to comment on how it reminds me of the old Zelda dungeons (which I friggin' love) but then I noticed in your description that was what you were going for. So, yeah! You definitely hit that on the head. I love the art and the music. The whole game just feels so nostalgic to me. I absolutely love the idea of manipulating the dungeon itself in order to get you around, have't seen another game like that so far in this jam (and I've been playing a lot..) Hit up Nintendo and try to get a job! lol. This was so great, good job guys!! Please reach out to me if you develop this further or make more games like this. I'd love to play!!

Developer

Thank you!!! Your feedback was so heartwarming to hear! We love nintendo, and the fact that you were able to recapture some of that nostalgia from our game means so much to us!!

Very neat game! I loved the look and sound. Also liked the  neat concept, we went for a similar interpretation of the theme with our game.

Developer

Thank you! I will check out your game right now!

This was an interesting game to play. I enjoyed the room sliding as well as the zelda-esque exploration of the rooms. There's a lot of room to expand on this idea, if you want; I felt like it could work very well as a medium for a narrative game, or as a sort of puzzle dungeon crawler. As it is, the concept is fairly bare-bones, but solid bones they are, and nice work for the limited time scale.

Thanks for making this!

Developer

Thanks! I wanted to expand on the idea further, but due to scheduling issues I only had 24 hours left when I started the game.
