Ranked from 20 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
How does your game fit the theme?
It's like an escape room but 2D with multiple doorways leading to other worlds wanting to find the exit behind a door.
What's behind the door? Exit? new world? or chaotic puzzle through doorway mazes?
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
YES!
The sfxs were collected from YT (no copywrite) and opengameart.org

I mean cute little game. But I just got stuck in infinite loop and i just could not figure out where should I wait. I mean nice puzzles anyway.

Doors Defend DoorHaha I managed to beat the game at level 1 :D
I liked the simple graphics. They are beautiful in their simplicity. The puzzles might feel a bit random tho, but given the fact you have made this game in very little time, I will forgive you :D
Well done in finishing a game :]

Lumber CrittersI gave up. Hahaha. I just cannot figure out how to solve world-5. I even stuck on world-3 and only advanced to the next level after reading the comment at the bottom. I read the tips about rest/stop at some place, I did that but at the wrong places. I even expect that maybe if I waited long enough at the top platform maybe it moves closer to the door. But I guess I was wrong.
I think you should provide some kind of visual clue to make the spot at the bottom look a little special, maybe put some nice looking grass patch with one tiny flower or something.
Anyways, love the art style. It's cute.

CuriosityI'm sorry for your struggle :(
I completed it from scratch along with the idea itself in 3 days, so didn't have enough time for a proper tutorial. Wanted the players to figure out their own as a form of puzzle.
The answer to the 5th level is "BRACKEYS". You don't have to finish it tho. It'll only bring you back to 2nd world. You can unlock platforms on the 2nd level by staying on the platforms from the 3rd level for just 2 seconds each. They're in the exact same place on 2nd level, just jump on them. In World 4, you have to use a door 3 times to complete a pattern, and the sequence of using doors matters say you used door 2 after 1, it has a different path.
BTW you can finish the game at the first level :>
Визуальная часть игры мне очень понравилась! Не хватает музыки на фоне и подсказок по управлению! В начале я подумал что дверь вообще не открывается! Игра забавная, особенно спрайты!

What's behind that damn doorI'm the person who messaged you on discord. I beat the game... I don't know how but it congratulated me? :D???

DoormancerBase idea is nice. Got to admit got stuck at some point but I'm bad at puzzle games :D . Would have been nice to have a bit more visual like clouds in the background scenery felt a bit empty. Had fun.

Where is the Door?The transition between levels are cool
i cant really get pass world 3 lol i guess i am not really a puzzle guy :D
Ill say next time make it a web build along with windows since there are lots of games to rate its hard for players
As in my first jam i only published a windows build only few people played so now i started publishing web build as well more people play it.
Submitted
Paper-WarThank you! I was hoping if I could still upload a web build and not break the rule :''( .
I have given a tip on the game page if that helps.
Spoiler: stay on the right corner for 5 seconds and you will get launched on the platform above. completing next level will only get you back to second level. Still play it for the full experience. Try staying on the platforms of the third level a bit and go back and forth btwn 2nd and 3rd level and check for changes.
Major Spoiler: you can end the game at the first level ;)
- w, d or left, right arrow to move.
- space to jump
- k to interact
- ESC to pause/unpause game
It's a puzzle game. The idea is to make the doorways feel like a maze. It's intentionally made to be difficult. There are multiple solutions to it. Player needs to figure out their own. Tho there's a small hint for the player on world 4. Hope you figure it out :)
