You did amazing work on this game! Had an absolute blast playing through this! The levels were very well thought out! I really like the fact that previous levels/rooms impact other levels/rooms. This is definitely one of the best submissions that I've played so far!

This is an exceptional puzzle game. The mechanics are excellent and the puzzles themselves are impeccable. I really like the way the puzzles made me think! The audio and visuals matched the tone of the game very well and the sound and visuals for the character moving were very satisfying. Super well done!!!
This game was super good. The game felt super polished and the and the art and sound effects were great. I absolutely loved the mechanics and it felt super interesting and unique. Warping between levels was a really cool mechanic and made for some really fun puzzles. My only issue was that I think I encountered a softlock when going into the screen with the first blue switch. I hit the orange switch and then died and I couldn't hit the orange switch again. I may have missed something but when I restarted it I was able to beat it. This was definitely one of the best games I've played this Jam!
Really awesome puzzle game! Mind bending, polished, and and fun. I love that you took such a simple mechanic and kept peeling back the layers to find more complexity and nuance behind it. This is one to be really proud of.
10/10. Amazing puzzles, amazing game design, perfect execution!
Very fun to play, intuitive gameplay. Very polished, just perfect.
Woo, I got to the ship :).
Great puzzle game. Even without any explanations/guides etc, I was able to figure things out fairly quickly. Visual cues were spot on.
Yes, there's things that could be added, blah blah, but that's for beyond the scope of the Jam build week. For the time you had, this game is tight, clear, right length, looks good.
My request for a hopeful future continuation,.. maybe a mini map :P, or a map screen to see where things connect as you go :P.
Great job, well done.
Intriguing puzzle game. Has a kind of nostalgic spectrum look to it and catchy tunes. Perhaps could do with an intro cut scene to set the context/narrative.
Very unique interpretation of the theme! Great level design, graphics and audio. The whole game feels really polished. Well done!
The puzzles were very well designed, it felt good to complete them. Great job!
Cool art style, great puzzles, nice music & SFX, everything came together really nice here, great job!
Awesome game, it reminded me of Quell Reflect. I really liked the the visuals and the movement mechanics.
Wow. A really great puzzle game.
Really great idea that you also have to go back to "old" areas to unlock more paths.
The game deserves more attention in any case =)
