How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
The objects and the characters can be reversed in time and return to their original place when you click on them thanks to your powers. To be able to reverse an object, you must collect a flag, which fuels your powers. (A counter is written on the left of the map)

Reversing objects was quite fun, and encourages you to try different solutions:
For example, I thought I had a clever solution for level 8, where I thought I could remove the guard by forcibly altering the guard's patrol path by placing boxes in his way and guiding him into the lasers. Sadly, lasers are only lethal to the player. I also tried to trap him behind said lasers, but that caused a fatal error with the guard's path finding.
The solution to the first puzzle was clever, but felt under-used in later puzzles. The art style was good, and the music was fitting, though a little grating at times.
An enjoyable puzzle game whose main mechanic really inspires experimentation and shenanigans.
Thank you !
As for the guard's interactions with the laser, thank you for the bug report, we didn't have much time for beta testing (only like 10 minutes haha) so we hadn't spotted this bug !
Very good game without engine! It's always risky to create a game for jam that has many levels, but this game is fun with good optimizing and fun factor!
A small advice for pygame, when you quit pygame, you don't leave the main loop and it will throw an error for the terminated pygame instance. You have to quit from the application too:
if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
pygame.quit()
sys.exit() # thats the neat part
Good work after all!
Thank you for your feedback ! We had difficulties to create many levels, but we are glad to hear that you liked them ! As for the pygame advice, thank you very much ! I didn't know why the game bugged every time I would close the game and I tried several methods without success :)
Yeah sorry, i couldn't open the file either. If you get it fixed i'd be happy to return and give you a fair rating :)
I answered how to solve the problem in the other comment :)
I was not able to play this. My PC flagged the file as a virus and would not let me proceed. Graphic looks cool though.
Thank you for the feedback ! As mentioned in the comment for deadshotninja, it looks like this problem happens on certain computers. To execute it anyways, when you double click to launch the main.exe, a window will open saying that you probably shouldn't execute this file. When you click on "more option", there should normally be a new button on the window like "execute it anyways" which will let you run the program.
However if you can't fix this, you can still download the code from my github page (linked in the other comment) and run it with python + pygame installed.
It is very difficult. but the idea is really interesting. By the way, if you go to the menu from one level and select another level, the music will start several times. I think it would be nice to let the player get used to the game smoothly, for example, at the second level, for a very long time I could not figure out how to get through it.
Thank you for the feedback ! We knew that the game was very difficult but we didn't have enough time to create new easier levels because we were able to test the levels that one of us had created only two hours before the game jam ended and we still had to fix tons of bugs. That's also why we forgot to stop the level music when you go back to the menu.
File was flagged as a virus :(
This seems to be a problem due to the fact that the program was written in python and then converted to exe with auto-py-to-exe. This problem was already encountered by multiple people (https://github.com/brentvollebregt/auto-py-to-exe/issues/122) and doesn't seem to have a solution._. If you want to check the code out to ensure that it's safe, feel free to do so though: https://github.com/MartinWho2/Mini-jame-game-14.
