This was a very unique entry with a clever mechanic and a strong sense of style. The perspective-shifting design is smooth and intriguing, and it creates a mysterious, almost exploratory mood that makes you want to keep playing. The character design stands out nicely, and the movement through the 3D maze feels polished.
That said, the game is short and could definitely benefit from more content, music, and sound effects to push the atmosphere further. At times the perspective changes felt more like separate levels than different views of the same world, but with refinement this concept could become something truly special.
Overall, it’s a strong jam project with a lot of potential to grow into something bigger. I really enjoyed seeing this kind of innovation, and since my own submitted game also explores unusual mechanics, you might like checking it out too it’s a different twist, but born from the same jam spirit.

Recoil SurvivorVery unique mechanic, and it's executed very well. This has some serious potential dude. I enjoyed playing, and would love for you to develop this further, because, as mentioned, it has potential. Overall, I had fun playing this game :D Well done dude, be proud :)

Trust No OneYour game is very interesting, wish it was longer, I love games that are bit mysterius and weird, it makes you want to explore and continue playing.

Where Am I?Very interesting concept! ✨
I see potential with this idea, I think I've seen a few games about it already, might want to look into that for inspirations (example: Toodee and Topdee), I also notice a smearing issue with the character's sprite, you can fix that by going to Project > Project Settings > General > Physics> Common > Physics Interpoation (if you don't see it turn on advance settings) enable this setting on your project and it shold fixt that smearing issue!

Lantern KnightI liked the shift of perspective :)
Would be great with some music / sound FX etc...

MARS ATTACKS?Super nice. Very smooth movement in the 3d maze and I like the fact that the buttons are indicated only after reaching some specific points. Good job!

Silence DirectiveQuite the mechanic, I have seen like 1 real game with this kind of map design before and I think it's not even out yet.
I feel like it's not immersive enough though, it doesn't feel like you see the same level in different perspectives and more like 2 entirely different levels (even tho there are elements that remain the same between ). Maybe I just lack the imagination and geological mind to get it.
Good entry.

20 coinsThank you for playing my game and leaving a coment =)
Yep, I think you're right. The transition between the perspectives would really to be improved, and some tweaks to increase the sense of being in the same place. Also I hadn't enough time to add some background sound fx and music to help the atmosphere, I think it would help a lot. I'll work on these points for next updates.
Thank you! =)
This is a concept you could totally keep exploring because it has a unique style and cool narrative that's speaking directly to the player. I was bummed that it ended so early but that's how it goes in a game jam! Nice work.

Clean BreakThank you very much for playing and leaving a coment =)
I'm so happy you liked the game. I will keep working on it to add more areas with more content to discover. Also I'll need to work on the transition between the perspectives and to improve the atmosphere, and other things that I didnt had the time to finish for the jam. =(
Thank you!
The visuals are fantastic and the concept is super creative! It really stands out as something unique.

That Seems Easy* Might have spoilers
I think that the main mechanic of the game is very clever, I really enjoyed it. Could use more playtime since the existing content feels a bit lackluster, there was that strange cutout in the first person view but there really isn't any info on it. Overall a solid concept and I enjoyed it a lot.
