The last bit of the game was a nice Puzzle to work out, was a lot of fun to play.

lovely graphics! I wasn't able to finish it as after I got the third ability the game slowed down a lot, and I had to give up halfway on the way back, but once the performance issues are sorted out, I can see myself playing it again to the end!

I just fixed an issue where I left in some debugging tools that would slow the game down. Maybe itch.io is taking a while to push updates, idk, but hopefully it's fixed now.

Delightfully simple and effective graphics, really the best looking game this jam. I love the design with the alternating levels, however when I get to the red orb to unlock the third level, PICO8 bugs out quite a lot, and a big FAILED appeares on the top right.

Oh no, I forgot to delete some debug stuff. Sorry about that. That was for testing the particle effects, whenever it says "failed" it means it stopped a particle from spawning in order to keep performance stable. I'll fix that as soon as possible, thank you for telling me.

Lovely aesthetics and a nice exploration of a simple concept! It got a little confusing at times trying to remember which key swapped to which dimension, but overall I think it worked really fluidly. The ending was fun too. Nice job!

So far is my favorite game of the Jam, you did so much with such a simple concept!

Also you have 10 on theme, your game is the THEME all over the place!

excellent work.
