I love the idea behind this but it started to feel a little repetitive after a little while. It could have done with some different pacing or more variety to keep it feeling a little fresher

Contemplative Music, paired with stellar Visuals, overall great mood set for this experience.
Only issue I found was that the player gets ONE scrolls usage per level, why not have a cool down? I'd love to keep trying to get the character to the "finish line". maybe consider putting a more obvious goal at the end of the level. Have you ever played lemmings before? very much a similar concept except you are controlling large volumes of characters. Anyway- I like this game and would check it out again if it is still being developed further.
Amazing game, congratulations! It has a very complete feeling. A couple of minor gripes:
This is one of the highlights of the game jam. A pleasure to play and an incredible achievement for your first ever game.
You're welcome! Just to reiterate, the levels that were more than a few units of scrolling are fine staying longer. They give a good reason to scroll. It's only the ones where the finish trigger was just off screen that I had issue with. I'd just bring those finish lines back to fit in the single screen. It could even be a case of forcing the game to a 16:9 or even wider ratio (with letterboxing) to better suit the gameplay!
I was really impressed by the level design. In my view, the amount of "close calls" that I had after placing portals and winning is testament to the superb level design. It's also amazing how complete the game feels. The art is beautiful and the animation fits perfectly.
Although I really enjoyed the music, it didn't seem to fit the game for me.
This is one of the best games I've played in the jam. Excellent work!
I really liked the visuals on this one, and the mechanics were interesting! I enjoyed it :)
Did a video highlight of your entry and a brief breakdown of your source:
Stunning how much content you managed to create for a gamejam project! Great game!
