How did you/your team interpret the theme?
In this game, instead of being the classic platforming hero, you become the villain trying to stop the hero.

How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
Very little. I had a decent understanding of coding and have done plenty of pixel art, but I had never actually finished a game before. This was a first.

A damn good start to a puzzle game! I would love to see more. Following!

Congrats on finishing a game! We're in the same boat, there. I have nothing to really critique here as it's a really solid prototype puzzle game. At this point it's up to you whether or not to go further with it. Very well done!

A very good idea for the game, also satisfying gameplay

Very fun! Although i found it was easy to cheese it by putting spikes/crusher right where the hero spawns

Thanks for playing!

Spawn protection for the hero would definitely be the next thing I'd add. :P 
Hope you enjoyed it!

might be better to make it so the hero spawns slightly off from where the player can place objects :D that way they can't do anything to them

The game is a lot of fun, the graphics are suitable, but if I add an object in the hero spawn area it gets bugged.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

I did find that too. That's related to the object detection, which would need some tweaking if I ever made this a full game.
Hope you enjoyed your time!

Good game and unique concept. The hero's AI can be a little funny.

Thanks for playing!

There would certainly be some AI tweaking if I made this into a full game. 
Thank you for the kind words and I hope you enjoyed it.
