It lacks polish but is overall a very good proof of concept and has a lot of potential. Great job!!!

Very interesting game

This game has the potential to be an interesting puzzler, it just needs a lot more polish and it'd be pretty great! My main complaint with the gameplay is that the controls were a bit too awkward to work with. I needed to constantly think about which tools were where and what I needed to do with them in order to get them to do what I wanted them to. If this game is expanded further I also think it would be a good idea to not introduce all of your tools so quickly, as I think that could easily overwhelm players with too many variables that they need to think about. Introducing the tools one at a time and slowly showing what they're good at in separate levels would go a long way in teaching the player how to navigate the world!

Other than that, I would've loved to see more levels to see what else you could've done with this idea or where you would have taken it. However, I guess you ran out of time.

The presentation was pretty good though, and I do like the idea of a puzzle game where you play god to reach a desired outcome! Good work and keep making games!

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yeah I did realise that trying to take the tool away from the unit was a bit awkward. I do agree with your points, and there's definitely room for improvement if this idea is expanded on. Well noted, and I appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback!

Very nice, I thought it is a classic platformer at first and then it is actually a puzzle platformer(?)!

I would have loved it more if there was some 8-bit music to go with it! haha

Very nice, I can see a lot of potential for interesting puzzles with these mechanics!

Creative concept!

I like the different character types to overcome certain obstacles

Would love more levels but regardless I had fun :)

I could really see this being expanded into a full game, good job!

Really like how you interpreted the theme of the jam. I enjoyed the puzzle of the levels in the game and would love to see this expanded upon.

This is really cool, The mechanics lend themselves well to a ton of interesting puzzles, I just wish there were more levels to mess around with the mechanics more. I also think that movement speed should be increased a little more, just as a quality of life enhancement. Great Job!

Well done for submitting. There is absolutely a lot of great ideas in the game which left me wanting more (in a good way). The levels were well designed and showcased a lot of potential. Short and sweet, great work.

Good puzzle game, great ideas. It would have been nice if it was a bit longer.

I Like The Game... The Only Issues I Have With The Game Is That The Object Like The Tree Blend In With The Background So You Can't Really See Them!

Thanks for the feedback!

Very cool idea, are all the paths handmade animations or could the game be easily scaled. I would love if there where more levels.

Developer

Yeah it was pathed out manually, which was why making a level takes some time, and I couldn't finish all the levels I planned. Glad you enjoyed!

Cool puzzle game! It'd be nice if there was a way to speed up the walking though because it felt pretty slow at times (or maybe its because I kept messing up lol) Good job!

Submitted(+1)

Really neat idea. I wanted more

Submitted(+1)

I think having the player be in charge of the environment around the character instead of directly in control of the character actions is a pretty clever role reversal. The power-swapping mechanic is also an interesting idea - Either having the character be able to chop down trees _or_ be the god of forests ends up being a fun mechanic.
