Very interesting design! The slight delay on the mirror character gave me slight Adventures of Shuggy vibes. I wonder if the game might be a little nicer to play if you could pick up mis-placed tiles with right click rather than having to restart the whole level. I think this could be developed further.

I had a wonderful time playing this game! The game was simple and easy to understand while still being challenging! I loved the inclusion of the shadow guy and thought having that character’s movements a offset mirror was brilliant!
I think my own critique for the game is, there are a couple levels where the wine glass is off screen and, unless the player has already played (and died) to find it, there’s no way for the player to actually know. While there’s no penalty in dying (you’re an undead vampire, after all!) I feel it’s unfair that there’s little chance a player could succeed at these levels in their first try. One solution would be if the level started by showing the wine glass, then panning over to the player. At least at that point, the player knows where in the level they should be progressing.
Beyond that, like I said, this is a wonderful game! Wish there were more levels to play! :D

ARhythmic RiseGreat job!! Symmetry is a hard theme to work with IMO, but you thought of a clever and fun way to approach it. Difficulty felt just right. Well executed! Congrats to the team, ya'll crushed it! 🥂

Smokin' PotionsGreat game! Really refreshing take on the whole platformer thing with the blocks you can place in the world. Theme is on point as well.

Nebula-M09not sure if intentional, but i started next to some text that read "thanks for playing", which i suppose i would expect to see at the end of a game.
other than that very minor thing, this was really really well done! controls felt tight, and the puzzles were fun to figure out! oh, and the music and graphics were pretty neat, too! :)
Really enjoyed playing it, hit a sweet spot in terms of difficulty. Did not manage to beat the stages on first try, but was always able to figure it out after a while

Level Rennergreat work ! the game is fun with interestings levels and cool mechanics, the only advice i could give is to use physical keys in your controls instead of keys, this way a player with azerty layout keyboard could use z,q,s,d instead of w,a,s,d
Well done !

Camping TripTrying to outrun your own reflection! I like it. With a bit more work this could become a full game, I hope you continue on it. For me I needed to read the game page to understand what to do, I thought the initial blocks I collected were health or something. Overall great job though!

The Symmetry Hall ProblemNice job! Really loved the player animations when you die or beat a level. The use of the theme was excellent. I thought it was pretty challenging once you introduced the mirror version of yourself.
