How does your game fit the theme?
This game is a little weird Sokoban RPG. However, instead of controlling the avatar to push the box, players actually control the map and move the walls to push different kinds of stuff on the map. In that case, the roles of an RPG Hero and a map are reversed. It's not the Hero that tries to save the world, but the world on the map itself tries to save the Hero.

Loved the concept, amazing job
Very good! I love this.
Really good execution on the "controlling the world" idea! Feels like a whole expansion on the mindbending parts of Baba is You when you have to try and control the levels. Nice exploration of all the different kinds of puzzles you could do with it!
I have seen many entries where the player controls the level in some way, but this is a pretty polished game for this jam.
For feedback, perhaps consider moving something other than the wall and door like maybe spike hazards for additional challenge.
Nice job, nonetheless.
very creative
Pretty cute puzzle game that wears its inspiration right on its sleeve. Second to last level took me a lot longer than it should have and was probably my favorite one design-wise. There was a bug where sometimes the game lagged and as a result things could phase through walls, but otherwise, pretty good implementation. Nice job!
This game is very polished and fun. The art style isvery cute, it reminds me of baba is you.
The controls weren't very smooth but besides that it's awesome! Very well thought out level design and I love the presentation.
Engaging mechanic and a great idea befitting the theme. The game explained itself well through clever level design. I enjoyed every bit until the end. I must say that I had moral reservations about pushing wounded people into the rivers of hell in order to use their dead flesh as stepping stones. It was hilarious though.
