How does your game fit the theme?
You move through doors to change the layout level, and you have to reach a door to reach the next level. At first, you don't know how the level might change.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, except for following some Brackeys tutorials for UI.

It's hard to remember what's through different doors so I just walked through random doors until I succeeded but apart from that it's a good short and simplistic game(I am definitely not biased due to making a game with a similar mechanic)
Thanks for playing! I loved your game, too. I definitely need to work on showing what is going to happen before you go through a door.
That was such a neat concept, blocks changing the shapes were funny but pleasing to look at. Also nice job on implementing slopes, they are impossible things to work on properly but in this case slopes did some visual improvements without being too janky in terms of gameplay.
Things went smoothly from stage 1 through 3, though I struggled a bit in stage 4.. Not sure if it's intended but that final stage seems to require memorization and blind experiments. I'd suggest adding indications for ground placements, which can be viewed before entering the door.
Thanks! I actually spent an entire day of the jam coding slopes, glad to hear that they worked well. I definitely want to work on telegraphing the ground placements.
Love the concept behind this game! I really like the level designs, they felt very thought out! Great work!
Thank you!
Great game to be honest, it is also similar to my game concept to some extent, really liked it well done.
Thanks for playing! I liked your game, too.
great game keep it up
Thank you!
Nice interpretation of the theme! I loved the animations and playing this game was really fun, I wish there was more levels
Thanks for playing it!
amazing platform/puzzle game! I love the idea for the theme. Its very clever and the puzzles are fun to solve. Even with the simple art/ music the game feels very nice due to the other effects. One of the best puzzle platformers ive played so far! Great job!
Thanks so much!
The idea is really clever but a few things add up to make it feel a bit frustrating and finnicky:
The result is that the first time through any door is a guessing game for what direction (if any) you should be moving in; it feels like the only way to progress is memorising the patterns (maybe this was the intended experience?); and the early sections get boring/annoying as you have to replay them every time you fail to guess where you need to go at a new door.
You might want to consider either;
Thanks so much for the feedback! I will definitely try to implement those ideas after the jam is over. Do you have any suggestions for telegraphing the transitions?
Depends how explicit you want it to be, having coloured outlines of all the options at all time would probably make it too cluttered but you could probably do a preview when you get within a certain distant from a door. Alternatively you could do like a ghost platform that moves ahead of the real one.
I LOVE THE CONCEPT OF THIS GAME THIS IS GENIUS
Thanks so much!
I loved the simple graphics, the jump felt a little floaty but i loved the concept
Thanks for playing it!
The simplistic graphics look really pleasing. Good job with the colour pallettes. The idea is really fun and can be expanded further. The only problem I had was the controls which were a tad clanky. Adding coyote time and jump buffering would make the controls more responsive.
Thank you for the suggestions and for playing! I did add jump buffering, but it probably isn't forgiving enough.
cozy little puzzle game, i love the music, great idea!
Thank you!
