Nice idea well executed, it's polished and beautiful. There isn't much to say. I saw comments saying that controls are to hard but I think it's part of the game. Anyway good job !

How does the game fit the theme?
The game fits the “Strange Places” theme by placing players in the role of a priceless ancient idol navigating a chaotic, physics-driven world full of precarious traps and bizarre architecture. Every jump and bounce feels unpredictable, turning the environment itself into a strange, almost surreal playground.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
During the jam we used various SFX + Music tracks. Full credits are posted as a downloadable PDF on the game page.
Our team of four developers created all art, design + code during the timeframe of the jam.

WOAH! This game is majestic!!!!
Really cool idea playing as the idol moving through all those strange structures. The environments look great and the sound design adds a lot!!!
The movement was definitely challenging to get used to, especially figuring out which direction the idol would go when moving forward. It took me a bit of time to start getting the hang of it, but once things start clicking it becomes pretty entertaining !!!
Overall a very unique and memorable entry. The concept and presentation are strong, nice work!
ALSO, if you like brain-teasing puzzle platformers make sure to check out our game!

ShiftspaceThis looks really cool and the story is kinda funny too. The only thing I would suggest is that it might be better if the forward direction depended on where the player is looking, so when I press W I move forward regardless of the object’s orientation. As a player, I don’t really know what counts as “forward” for the object until I try moving, and having to go forward with S and deal with inverted controls can be a bit annoying. Overall it looks great and has a lot of charm, and even the gameplay with its flaws was very fun. Good job! :)

Hitchhiker's Guide to HeroismThe visuals and music are superb! Unfortunately, the controls with this physics are far too frustrating for me, so I didn't get very far.

Inner DoorThis game is AMAZING! The idea is so cool + it reminds me of the talking Easter Island statue from the movie Night at the museum - which made my experience even better! The only feedback-ish? thing I can say is that it's kinda hard to get used to the controls. Aside from that the game is a 10 :)

United StrangesReminds me of that egg game (egging on), just way harder :P funny voice lines, a bit too bright maybe, but good job!

Geo PhobiaVery original game! The controls are quite difficult to get the hang of, but the challenge is pretty cool.

Liminal LandsI love the idea behind this! Very cool art and level design. I had difficulties figuring out the movement but overall it was a very interesting mechanic to try and work out! Also the voice for the idol was great :)

Through the Book Doorthe controls gave me a headache at first, also sadly game didn't run very smoothly for me which made trickier part even harder. The art style is simply beautiful one of the better looking games this jam!

Apoapsis (Jam Version)Visuals and sounds literally carried the game. Level design IS bad. Some jumps looks easy, but they are so hard and dont fit the game movement. I just got stuck in the last room (or was it last?) and I dont know what to do. The controls are even worse. The controls are really similar to car driving games and player is getting used to it very quickly but backwards movement made opposite way... Otherwise the idea is cool, visuals are clearly 5/5 and the voice acting is frying me

3 Pages Make a BookThank you for playing our game! I have a slight feeling that the platforming has angered you slightly but I won't take your words too personally haha. I will say that though it may seem hard at first, once you get used to the movement and master it, it becomes quite easy and fun to speedrun the level. We've had one person manage to speedrun this in just over a minute!
We'd love for you to try out our game again and maybe even attempt a speedrun like some of the others players ;)
I agree to the other comments visuals are very nice, but the controls feel very wanky because when i push W the charakter roles in a for me random direction.
