Nice game! I included it in my Wowie Jam 2.0 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Sorry a lot for the late rating! I forgot about it! Well but anyways, here is my feedback: It's a great game overall, it reminds me of old valve games, the graphics are great for a game jam and it's fun to mess around with boxes and other things (I always loved to mess around with collisions and ragdolls) but I think you can make the mug part a bit easier, I wasted a lot of time on it, also I waited some minutes to the game to start, which almost made me give up, happily I didn't :D. Overall really solid!

Nice game. I love many things about it. Not much to say to improve.

I... uh... Managed to softlock myself without trying to.... :P

So, in the "Think outside of the box" part, I just boosted myself through the *glass* with a mug instead of putting a box on the button... So yeah. I still liked it, though. (As I stated earlier. Back then I though that was the end)

Developer

Oops, sorry for that! The mug can be a little unpredictable :p

This was an amazing game , the mechanic was very clever , the mug was a bit overpowered but this was amazing

Such a nice and fun game!

There's something really soothing about running around in those big white halls :)
The glitch theme was well implemented and the puzzles were fair and fun. Well done!
Now I have to replay Half-Life 2 again and see if I can glitch out of the levels :D
Stay funky,

Just want to let you know I am still planning on testing and rating the game. My crappy laptop won't run it for some reason and I don't have access to my pc until tomorrow. Just wanted to ensure you I plan on keeping my promise to rate each game that comments on my post.

Developer

Sure thing buddy! Take your time, no one is pressuring you to play ^^

Really enjoyed using intentional exploits!
Definitely in my top games.

I thought I was the only one, but yeah it does remind me of portal! It feels and plays super smooth even on my crappy laptop :D! I really enjoyed the movement and the puzzles!!! A bit frustrating but overall this was a really fun and well made game!!

Developer

I wasn't going at first for a Portal aesthetic, but it kinda happened so I went with it :p Thanks for playing!

Hey there;D damn thats actually a nice way of moving and actually reminds me of portal! Great Job. I got stuck after a while but anyways I like i alot! Could imagine some kind of fighting game with this mechanic:D Have a nice day

Wow. The idea of turning a Half Life 2 Glich into a game is really good. Also the graphics look really nice. Sadly the difficulty spikes in the level, where you have to crate-jump multiple times without failing. Maybe you could put a cube on one of the platforms, or implement something else, so you don't lose a bunch of progress. But other than that it's a very nice game.

I got stuck behind a red wall once when I accidentally pressed R, maybe have it reset to a checkpoint rather so this doesn't happen. I liked the visuals, nice to see some 3d games. I also liked your take on the jam, brought me back to my nostalgic half life days. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Welp, I didn't think of that and didn't catch it during playtesting, my bad!

Submitted(+1)

One of the best I have played so far:D

I could not pass the "think outside the box" part.. so HARD!

Loved it!

Developer

The thing is to take it really literally. Thanks for playing ^^

Submitted

Oh... I think i found an unintentional bug in your game :O

Developer

You can DM me on discord about it if you want :p theqer#3698

This game was super cool!!!

This game gives me Portal vibes in the way the puzzles are constituted, I like the mechanics that you use the objects to "jump" in the air, excellent work (: WOWIEE!!!

Submitted(+1)

Really neat game! Very well designed puzzle rooms, had fun gameplay mechanics, and the game felt fair for failing. Awesome audiovisual quality that fits the game. I had the feelings a Portal game could provide, so did a really great job on it.

Overall I liked it, has a great chance of winning. (In my opinion)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I'm gonna play your game since I don't think I played it yet ^^

Submitted

Yay, thanks! :)

I spend so much time in this game!!! It's really awesome and very well done :D good job there!!!

Developer

Oh I remember playing your game, I didn't put a rating then, I'm gonna do it now :)
