How does your game fit the theme?
used the theme as the core mechanic of my game. There’s a calm, reflective phase where you move the tiles and think through your solution. Then comes the storm—once you press Space, the scene plays out, and you can no longer control anything.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code during the jam and created the sprites for the magic tiles. The rest of the art is from Toadzilla on itch.io—huge thanks to him! The music was composed by a friend during the jam, and the sound effects are from various royalty-free websites.

This was really cool! I'm a big fan of the art and especially the music! Great job
Thanks to the unique pixel art and music, the feeling of playing is cool.
Art and music combined to make it a dreamy puzzle game.
I also like the direction of the text as if it is a dancing.
It's a puzzle game that's fun and needs to be smart, but when I play it, I feel like I'm debugging programming rather than solving the level in just one try. It is a really fun game. Personally, I hope this game is published on Steam later.
I'd appreciate it if you could play my game and leave a review!
Pretty cool game. Really enjoyed my time. Only wished that some logos were a bit more easy to read, like the ones that say which direction the player will go. It was a bit of a pain to understand it at first, but then everything was cool
Hope that you'll also rate mine :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690
Fun puzzle game! :)
I had a good time thinking about the solutions, except in level 13, for some reason I couldn't solve the level and the rest ahead felt easier than that 1 hahaha
I like the mechanics of the game, it’s creative killing the player and being able to revive it with those skills. Also it’s ok to put extra abilities to deceive the player, as long it doesn't have a lot is good, like level 20-21. The ability of the orange tiles I would like to see more of and it’s great to be able to see the different colors of the teleports
About the music, I really liked it, it helps with the atmosphere of the game and the visuals also are great, everything feels good together and that made me stay more since today I didn’t feel like doing puzzles haha
I think the only thing I saw that could be improved is that the end point where you put your sacrifices, when it needs more than 1, the display can show the wrong number when you put a sacrifice but not the needed to pass the level when you reset, example, you need 3 and put 1, when you reset the level, it stay in 2 instead of reset to 3, which can mislead the player a bit.
Other than that I didn’t find any error, and it was a fun game that really could be expanded, great job doing this puzzle game. ^^
Very nice work and interesting art!! Thank you!
There are so many clever levels!
Great work!
really nice game! Thanks for making it. Reminds me a little bit of 7 Billion Humans. Good job!
I LOVED those puzzles, very nice work
the 11th level tho i just tried every possible combination lol
coherent aesthetics and art style, gj! pretty interesting gameplay
Amazing idea for a puzzle game :) I need more levels! :)
Hey great game with a ton of polish! The levels are actually quite tricky but really engaging! I think this truly has a lot of potential so congratulations!
Beautiful pixel art and colors! Levels are a bit challenging for me but its the fun part. And i liked the mechanics a lot!
If you are interested here is my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973922 ☺ It makus us really happy as another pixel art game artist♥
This is amazing for a game jam, super polished. A lot of fun. Great job!
The game is sooo polished, so nice
Well designed puzzle game!
Overall this is a very polished work, and almost a full game. All the best!
thanks a lot for your comment, I will take this in count for the final version I'm working on ! With escape you can open a menu to change level or go back to main menu but with the full screen mode it just resize the window... Thanks again, a pleasure to receive that kind of comment !
This was the first game I played that felt like a borderline finished product! DAMN. So impressive! The game got a little hard a bit quick and totally required all my brain cells. I got to level 4 and stopped for the night because holy hell, this is not a game that can be completed in 10 minutes. The rotation of the tiles was a little confusing/unintuitive and would benefit from just a simple arrow pointing in the direction of the unit. As for the theme, it didn't seem totally applicable, but regardless, I think with a little balancing, this game could totally be on Steam! Exceptional.
Beautiful pixel art and animation! The gameplay is excelent, too bad I suck at puzzle games! haha
Holy love the presentation of this game, the art is so good, the concept is very interesting, I do feel like it gets a little too challenging too fast but yeah balancing is difficult to do in a puzzle game.
Great job on this game though!
This is a really good puzzle game. well made levels that show you gradually new tiles and fairly hard. Good work!
Very cool game. Cute art.
