Yes, that was indeed a strange place.
This is a compelling puzzle game. I liked the environmental variety - I think the forest looked genuinely stunning. I like the concept of how the floors tie themselves together and make you take steps back, though the puzzle itself requires a lot of thinking power.
I got stuck in the maze floor being unable to find the solution, I did the blasphemous move of looking into the game's code and then realized how obvious it was, and seeing that others also got stuck - The key word is :)
The biggest issue is more of a nitpick, but this game could use V-Sync - There's a lot of screen tear for me.
Eitherway, this is a cool game and a cool submission. Well done!
