Classic first project and honestly i can't find faults with it. I really liked the way the cube exploded. It obviously feels devoid of too much content but it's to be expected with a solo dev so i won't be too harsh. Keep it up! If you have time check out our game!

How does the game fit the theme?
It switches to places, which is strange ig.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
All the assets are just squares, circles and triangles which are in unity. Codes are made by me from scratch, trust :D.

Wonderful work!!!
Nice first submission. Starting with a flappy-bird style mechanic and then introducing different challenge patterns was a smart choice because it keeps the gameplay from feeling too repetitive. The moment where the world switches is a cool surprise if you go in without knowing about it.
The core mechanic works and it’s easy to understand what the player needs to do,.
One thing that could make it even better is gradually increasing the challenge as the run goes on so the tension keeps building. A few extra sound effects could also make the actions feel more satisfying.
Overall though, this is a really good starting point for a first game jam. Keep going with it.

ShiftspaceCongrats on your first game! The gameplay loop starts with a flappy bird style section and then switches into different challenge patterns, which is a neat idea. It’s a solid first step and a good start overall. Nice work!

Strange emtynessYup, I've tried yours. I don't understand russian tho and well, yeah I was stuck in the lower bathroom and unable to get out. It fits the theme but seems incomplete. If I'm reading correctly, you said that there were supposed to be 3 more devs but they abandoned due to personal reasons. Other than the 2 rooms, I'm unable to find any new rooms. But still a cool game idea tho.
Could do with a better difficulty curve. but a cool version of the theme. Nice!

The Adaptive CageI like the idea! I didn't read anything before playing, so switching worlds was a nice surprise! I do agree that a steeper difficulty curve would've been nice. But not bad!

Quantum CatA neat concept! I would have loved to see some sort of difficulty curve, like the projectiles getting faster, and more sounds. I had fun though. Good job submitting! I got a high score of 1872.
