Not bad.  I like you portals idea a lot, and your drawn graphics.  I do think everything is a little too touchy, with the shovel sometimes spawning into a wall.

Developer

Thank you! I agree with you on that shovel glitch. Thank you for the feedback! (:

Developer

I'm sorry. Your game wouldn't let me download it.

Submitted

Strange

Developer

It told me "No compatible uploads were found for this title"

Submitted

Do you use Mac/Apple?  Maybe that might be it

Developer (1 edit)

I'm currently using Windows and I'm trying to download it from the itch.io app.  Maybe that is the issue?

Submitted

Possibly?  I don't know, I've never come upon this issue.

Developer(+1)

It worked. I went on the website version and it let me download it. (:  I am playing it right now

Developer

I rated your game! (:

Thank you! I will try to play your game as soon as I can! (:

Developer

Your game has been rated! (:

I feel like the gameplay is a bit broken... Also the music was really irritating I have to say, so thanks for the mute button lol. With some more content and a good amount of polish this could become something really fun to play. Please give my game a try too :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! It is greatly appreciated! I will try to play your game sometime soon! (:

Developer(+1)

I apologize. I wasn't able to download your game. It wouldn't let me

Submitted

Developer(+1)

I'm gonna give it another try.

Developer(+1)

Yeah. It wouldn't let me. ):

Very nice game! A little improvement and the game would be great.I enjoyed playing it. All the best and Good luck! Do check out our game we need the feedback! - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-3/rate/574293

Developer

Thank you so much! I will try your game out as soon as possible! (:

Submitted

Thanks for the music mute button ;-). Nice little game, a bit hard to know where you could place the holes, sometimes they did not appear and I kept on smashing the mouse buttons, but had fun playing it. Please rate mine too. 

Developer

Thank you for all the feedback! I agree that there should have been an indicator on where you can put a portal down. I will try to play your game as soon as I can! (:

Submitted

Nice.Rate my game also.

Developer

Thanks! I will try out your game! (:

Hey could you make the game a web browser game?

Submitted

very good game

i lke the idea of laying as a shovel

very special

i enjoyed

Developer

Thank you so much! I love that you enjoyed the game! :)

Submitted

Unfortunately I'm having some trouble getting the game to respond to clicking and placing the portholes.

Developer

Unfortunately, I should have added an indicator telling the player that they can place a hole there, but I didn't think of that. To put a portal down, you just have to click below the ground, or in one level, to the right of the ground. I hope this helps you. (:

Submitted

Nice drawn artwork. The music is a little annoying. The mute button is required. Good job!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks! I’m not the best at making music, so that is why I always add a mute button. (:

Submitted

I want more levels! Nice puzzle game! I love it! best luck

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad that you loved my game! (:

Submitted

I thought this was a lot of fun, you have some really clever design around the portals and this could easily be built out to become a longer puzzle game. You also nailed the theme, great job!

Thanks for including the mute button ;)

Developer

Thank you so much for all the feedback! I guess it as a good thing I added the mute button. I wasn’t sure about it, but I did it anyways. Lol. I’m glad you enjoyed the game! (:

Submitted

You have a lot of potentials to keep joining in gamejams!✌🏼

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! (:

Submitted

Good idea but the shovel is a bit glitchy and the music could be better. levels 3 and 4 are impossible due to clipping

Developer

I agree. Some levels are a bit hard to beat because of how I made the game. Thank you for the feedback! (:

Submitted

the idea is cool , it needs a little polishing , but overall good work and good luck in your future games

Developer

Thank you! I will take your feedback into consideration. (:

Submitted

Congratulations for you first try in game jam!

Just a little advice, I think "Press space while touching the finish point" to beat the level is kind of unnecessary, maybe you can just automatically detect "Whether finish point touched by player"?

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you!

I didn't even think about that! It is a great idea! Thank you for the feedback! (:

Submitted

Good job for completing your first game jam! It was a good attempt! The game itself could use some improvements in movement through portals. 

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I agree! I unfortunately had no clue where to start for the portals.

Submitted

Nice idea - I think it fits the game jam theme really well :)

It would be great if there was some kind of feedback (e.g., a different mouse cursor), whether it is possible to place a portal at the current position. I just kept clicking, until a spot worked, and a portal appeared.

Developer(+1)

That is an awesome idea! Thank you for the feedback! (:

Submitted

Unfortunately I don't know what to do in the game :(

I am stucked at first level!

Developer(+1)

I put all the rules in the description of the game. The goal of the game is to get to the portal with swirly lines on it and press space to beat the level. To place the first portal, click left mouse button or Q. To place the second portal, click right mouse button or E. I hope this helps! Sorry for not clear instructions! (:
