what a lovely puzzle!

Interesting interpretation of the theme. I find the camera perspective not so smooth as I did not see the items I should shoot from skies. The puzzle aspect is very interesting though!

This is an interesting puzzle game! I liked the music too. The items returning to their place when used was a little annoying and when I got to the point when the game said I could rotate the view with 'R' nothing happened when I pressed it and I got stucked. This has potential anyway!

Hey there!

This was an interesting game. I love how you efficiently used space and perspective. I think this is especially important for 3D games. I also enjoyed the puzzles.

Overall, this is a great submission. Good job, and good luck!

I thought the switching between perspectives was interesting, nice game!

I like where you took the idea.
I am blocked at the green lock just after you get the rotation move.

The music is super nice, and I love the 2d/3d aesthetic.
Great job :)

Thanks for playing! The rotating block definitely needs reworked. It’s possible to beat the rotation, but you have to shift your keyboard perspective to match new camera rotation. It was kind of a design fail on my part that needs tweaking. Maybe just slowing down the return.


thanks for the feedback!!!

First off, I love the design of our lad here. He's exceptionally charming.

The perspective changes in the room were consistently enjoyable to engage with, and the music seemed to build in a like manner. The idea of starting with low, droning bass and percussion that builds up over time with some nice lead arpeggios really fits the kind of expansion that the player is working towards. Given more time, I think a dynamic music system where each expansion brings a new instrument into the mix would be a great addition, of course with a slightly longer arrangement to prevent excessively looping.

While the gameplay is simple, the concept and experience had me grinning throughout, very well put together!

Great puzzle game! Clever mixture of 2D/3D.  I liked the chill tunes. I had a small issue moving to the last lock, not sure if I just managed to force my way or go the intended path. It's also a shame you cannot move when rotating the camera.

Thanks for playing!!! It was a design decision on that last lock and not being able to move while walking even though I think it was a poor decision lol. Given more time I would try to come up with some more interesting puzzles and mechanics.

Looking forward what you come up with next

Amazing nothing more to say, 5 across the board

A great game! The shifting perspectives creates a very interesting mechanic arsenal as you build up more views, and the presentation is great, too. Just imagine even more perspectives, like first-person, different planes for 2d views, and even multiple cameras! The idea definitely has potential.

Nice little game, thought the puzzles were fun and made me think (but not too much, thankfully!) The instructions were clear, the soundtrack was nice and the pixel art really cute too. Could have done with some bug fixing post development as the final puzzle was slightly glitchy. Nonetheless, really enjoyed it, good job.

Developer

Thanks for playing! I watched your stream and saw you get stuck on the final puzzle (aptly named the final boss in Unity). The trick was with perspective and that you actually had to just hold right instead of up since the camera is rotated to beat the block from swatting you away. It worked as intended, but I would definitely work on the design of that puzzle more. Time got me in the end and I wanted to finish :)

thanks for playing!!!!!

This fits the theme perfectly. Great concept for a puzzle game! Couldn't work out how to drop the object I was holding, but that's the only issue I had!


EDIT: I'm an idiot, it's the X key!

I really liked this game! The way it mixes the 2D and 3D is really cool! I was stuck at some points of the level but later on, i managed to figure them out. Also, if you have some free time, can you rate my game too?

Submitted(+1)

Such a fun puzzle. I like the combination of 2d and 3d too!

Submitted(+1)

I love this game's aesthetic and I love the interpretation of the theme! I'm dumb and bad at puzzles, but this game is super cool!

Submitted(+1)

The game concept was very original and really related to the theme of the Jam! The overall design was also quite unique! It was easy to understand what to do with little text thanks to the small visual indications. Very good game

Nice game! I like the sprite work on Otis. He reminds me of those old Lemmings games. I'm also getting a bit of a Petscop feel from the level.

Great game but please someone tell me how to solve the 3x3 switch puzzle T.T

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! The puzzle is a classic lights out 3x3 where you have to turn off all the "lights" or in this case have all the levers down. When you pull one lever, it toggles the state of the surrounding ones

Submitted(+1)

I know but I think I'm just really bad at it haha. I tried it for like 10 minutes without making progress XD. I'm going to try again later

Submitted(+1)

This was really cool, and something I would play if it was expanded. It got a little wonky when you rotated the camera, but other than that it was a fun little game.

Real fun puzzle game, some things felt too easy and went by a bit quick though .
