Very cool game mechanic. Animations and visuals are simple but very polished. I'd love a few more introductory levels and a better difficulty progression, but otherwise I really liked it! Wouldn't be surprised to see this one win :)

What an amazing game! The color palette, animations, particles and gameplay idea are excellent. I had such a fun time with the symmetry idea, and it definitely has potential to be expanded more. The rotation seemed like it was mapped to backwards controls to me, but that could just be my brain being weird. Unfortunately I got stuck at this point where the nook seemed too small for me to jump in, I could just be missing part of the puzzle though. Overall great job, one of my favorites for sure!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, maybe my brain is weird :P As for that puzzle, that screenshot is correct, you just use the spring to get in the nook and press enter, bit janky I know.

Ah I see, I kept trying that but my character would just never go in

well-made!
What you did with the artstyle is very unique. Props to you for that

You could make a small game out of this

This is absoulutly astonishing!

This one should win. Innovative mechanics are my weakness.

REALLY good, gj

Truly incredible man! what a fun and trippy new experience; just the right amount of challenge for me.

What the hell man, this is incredible. It surely is an innovative concept and I think if you polished it more you could directly sell it on Steam with no problem.
I think that since the mechanic it uses is so original it should explain it a little bit better and start with a streak of easy puzzle to get to know it well, before getting to the hard ones.
Great job, awesome!

This game is fantastic, but I think the difficulty in the early levels could be reduced a bit. I like learning as I go but introducing the concepts a bit slower will really help.


Other than that, can't fault it at all. Fantastic effort.

Wow awesome entry! Easily one of the best so far. Great selection of colors, good choice of music and really juicy gamefeel :) The mirroring mechanic is unique and really interesting to play with. Makes for some really good puzzles. A bit hard to find 2 things to improve on this one :D

  • Like with most other games maybe tone down the difficulty at the beginning of the game? Maybe it's just me but I was already struggling a bit in the second level. I'll have to say that I'm not a puzzle game guy though
  • Maybe add some kind of narrative that explains why the mirroring is happening etc.

Like I said, not easy to find things to improve on this one. Please continue working on it as this game really has potential. Great job!

Developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback. If I do decide to expand on this game, I'll be sure to take on your criticisms.

This is one big brain game O__o

Great game, and awesome concept! Super impressive entry :)

This game blew my mind! Really engaging gameplay supported by beautiful music and clean visuals. Top marks!

Submitted(+1)

this is a really good puzzle platformer concept, with exceptional design on the puzzle rooms, to the point where i felt real challenge in most of the rooms. one thing that did annoy me is that i wish the ability to walk on sloped floors was a little easier, or when they are not slippery and jumpable was more telegraphed somehow.

Definitely would like to see this expanded into a full game.

Submitted(+1)

I'm gonna say this game blows my mind.

Can't imagine how u come up this genius concept of gameplay and make every thing so polished from sfx to soundtrack to level design.

 It's already one of the best games I've played this jam so far in terms of creative mechanic and overall polishing. I love it!

Submitted(+1)

Very cool idea, well polished. Potential here for a full game in my opinion.

Submitted(+1)

I don't know how is it possible to design levels for this twisted game, but they are awesome. Unfortunately my brain doesn't work too well, but I enjoyed it anyway

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! Designing the levels was actually the hardest part and took way longer than the actual coding. Lots of playing through and tweaking...

Submitted(+1)

Amazing use of the 1-bit art pack, great polish, and genius mechanic idea.

This game makes me feel very stupid... (got stuck on the first acid valve level) but that's what good puzzle games are supposed to do! Probably my favorite entry I've played so far

Developer

Thank you! Your puzzle game wasn't the easiest either!
