Really nice execution on a cool concept! Everything was very nicely polished (I like your taste in art assets haha). My one little nitpick is that it's a bit unintuitive for the windows to have friction with one another, like I thought I would be able to pull one straight down without affecting the one to its side but instead they stick together and usually kill the player. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks for playing - in hindsight I should have removed the window friction

I love this! This is very cute, very creative, and very fun!

Chrome had some issues with figuring out where the windows were, so I was constantly dying. Didnt have that issue with the windows version, so it's pretty cool. Great Job

Developer

Thanks very much, and sorry about the Chrome issues

Thanks!

Wow, that's really good. I immersed myself in this game. I see great potential in it, you just need to add a couple of three levels and you can safely release it. Changing the world looks amazing. I like that you made some portals that can be moved, it's sooo cool

Developer

I'm pleased you liked it!

Probably one of the best applications of the limitation I've seen in this jam. Well done!

Developer

That's encouraging to hear - thank you!

Finished it!
The windows felt great to move, and the movement was polished.
Cool art and music too!
I was most impressed by the level design, it was actually a really nice experience.
Well done, I loved it :)

I really like floating windows, they are fun to drag and collide.

Developer

Thank you!

There may be problems playing this on Chrome or Edge but oddly I'm not seeing any issues with those browsers on my system. Would recommend people try the Windows build instead if they're having problems with the web playable version. Sorry!

For some reason if you play it on either Chrome or Edge you will always instantly fall and die at the start of the first level but on firefox it runs fine. Cool and fun game though. The dragging mechanic is neat.

Developer

Thanks for trying it out and for letting me know about that issue - unfortunate that it's not working on Chrome or Edge, I'll see if I can find why.

Very good idea. The feel of the game is perfect. I died about 10 times in the first stage, but then I got the hang of it. Good work!

Thanks for playing!

Is there a way to not lose upon starting the game? So far, I fall out of the world every time...

Developer

The first level should place you on a platform with two draggable windows side by side - one shows the world in green, the other in blue. If you start by dragging the blue window on the right around the screen with your mouse, you should be able to see more of the level that you can jump onto.

Unless you mean the game is spawning you in empty space instead?

Super cool idea and use of the concept i would love to see this idea be extended into a full game

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
