The concept is very creative, reminds me of Sould Reaver! Nice music and well done on the gradual interaction of mechanics, good job!

Submitted

I really liked the idea of space jumping and the puzzles were hard but fair. Really well executed with excelent simplistic art.

I really like this concept! I'm probably just bad at platforming, but I got stuck at a couple different points for a while. All in all, solid entry, I especially enjoy all the monochromatic scenes!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I was worried that it may be too difficult at times. It was a bit hard for me to judge since I was so familiar with the layout, and I didn't get to spend as much time playtesting as I would have liked. Hopefully you still enjoyed it.

This is one of the best games I've played in the jam so far. It's really polished. The music doesn't get tiring (it's pretty satisfying). The progression is smooth. The puzzles are well thought for such a short time of development. The shifts make the room feel sooo much bigger. And I loved the concept of rapid shifting, reminded me of how a game like Celeste teaches you more complex mechanics (that you could do from the very start) the further you are in the game.

Absolutely beautiful game.

Thanks so much for the feedback. Glad to hear the music wasn't bad, because I had to make it in a bit of a rush near the end of the jam.

Very nice!

This game had a nice atmosphare with calming music and amazing visuals. I think that the mechanic of switching between the different rooms/time periods is well made.

Smaller details such as particle effect when landing fo example could be added to make it even better, but I understand this might have been left out because of the time. But overall really nice game :D

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! I definitely would have liked to add details such as particle effects, but you are correct that I ran out of time before I could. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it nonetheless.

I love this game, the puzzles and designed are very well done, i want to keep playing :) Very cool art and sounds are done nicely. Maybe juicing up some things like jumping and the dimension shifting would make the game perfect for me but that's just me. Overall, amazing game, would love to play more!

Developer

Thank you so much!  I was planning to add some more effects to those elements, but I ran out of time before I could.

Nice little platformer. I managed to get all the fragments which was nice. I liked the main mechanic of switching between memories or time periods of the room. Good job.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Good idea, i like the mechanic. Visual and sound are quite simple but works, great job overall !

Submitted

Really cool game! The idea, game mechanics and visuals of the game are amazing! The only thing I would like to be added is some personality to the square. Otherwise, good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing. I agree about the player character. Unfortunately I ran out of time before figuring out how I wanted to improve it.

Submitted

You just nailed it. Awesome expression of the theme. Brilliant puzzles. And you proved that even white square can be an awesome game. When I did realize that you have only 3 or 4 rooms circled, it has blown my mind. The music is really lo-fi and simple but it's catchy as well.

Awesome work!

Developer

Thank you for the kind words! Just to clarify, it's actually supposed to be the 4 walls of the room that you are circling around. I probably could have made that more clear with a different starting flow.
