Good puzzles. Had fun. The only negativity I can name is the weird music.

Developer

what do you not like? did it made you feel like a little bit ill from how  bizarre it was? or what did you not like?

This has some interesting puzzles! I started playing without reading the description first and was confused why I couldn't use a key after looping (I think on level 4), but after noticing the item slot in the lower right I was able to learn everything else pretty smoothly!

I like the idea of platform puzzle game, sometimes require skill to make it and that's makes it more challenging, great work!

The concept is very catchy! The fact that you can only move forward is really well done! Congratulations on that! I love the smooth little music in the background. ^^

It generally reminded me a bit of VVVVVV (which is a compliment ^^). Bravo!

Nice lil game, though the room with 4 keys and 3 doors, I couldn’t understand how to win; I was able to collect all the keys but only open one door.

I appreciate how much it makes me think, though :)

Fun idea, would've been great to have a "Rewind" feature cause I kept getting soft locked :( Creative levels!

Developer

yea, we tried making it, but it was to complicated for a jam

An audio file has never turned me on this much, but this game made me feel something else. Excellent level design and commendable constraint of moving in one direction.

yea, it was supossed to be a bit mind bending but i think we might have went a bit too hard ajjaja

It's a neat puzzle game but there are a lot of soft locks.

Developer

what do you mean soft locks? that it gets too dificult for the skill? or that there are lock that can be overcomed that shouldn't?

Developer(+1)

Yes we tried implementing a rewind system however it was out of scope for this jam unfortunately so we just went with a level reset system!

Submitted

That would have been pretty cool! Possibly making the reset a little more clear to the player? Otherwise still, good job!
