That was fun but stressful ;) I love the LEGO reference!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I knew I wanted to do something isometric and basic shapes like prisms and cubes, the LEGO was inspired by kenny's blocks really, so glad that worked out!

Game definitely fit the theme, in an unexpected way.

Really enjoyed the aesthetic, the styling of lego blocks works really well for the concept. At times I found myself wanting to use WASD to move the block around instead of the mouse.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!  kenny has some great assets hahah

Valid point on the WASD I see no reason why it shouldn't use that as well!

Really cool! It's amazing you managed to make a 3D game! Did you make the levels, or are they procedurally generated? Sometimes the visuals but out when I rotate the staircase while the person is on top, but the game still counted my win, so I guess it's just visual

Thank you! The levels are currently not procedural, I just place the doors manually for each scene - I do want to make it a system which manually spawns people and doors so you can have this continuous gameplay going - but for later I guess!

also appreciate you catching that bug - will look into it in a post-jam fix!

Fun and interesting puzzles, as someone who can't design puzzles without a time constraint, that aspect alone was fantastic. The game looks nice and the art style is cohesive, great work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Tbh most of my time went into making the core interactions - would love to add more puzzles to this after the jam ends

This is a great game. It would be nice to have a way to reset levels. Very good concept and execution.

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback! You can press Escape to restart but its only visible as a text in some level, will edit the description to show this!

Cute idea with some nice visuals, definitely potential for expansion! Really liked the additional factor of the camera rotation

Developer(+1)

Thanks for trying it out! Yeah on second thought I realized camera rotation would also need the 4 steps of rotation but there wasn't time to get to some complicated levels.

I love this minimalistic 3D games. Nice puzzle game!
