Neat game!  Visuals were great, and puzzles were interesting.  It took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out how to light the last torch ^_^.

worst complaint i have is "music gets a bit repeaty"

i like this thing. 

I remember the david bowie movie.

and i was even singing some of it while playing.

because i'm tired today.

cool game.

Instantly liked this - windowed and gives you the keys to use - so excellent :)

And then you went up the wall - Terrific \o/

My only complaint is its so easy to become disorintated and not know which way is up or anything - that spoiled things quite a lot. My thoughts would be to limit to just walls and to maybe have some different texture so you know what way is the floor, etc.

But I loved the puzzles and the bow and everything else ;)

Great game. I have a hard time managing movement but that a personal problem.

I really like your touch on this genre. I usually like puzzle games and this was a really cool one. You got several cool implementations of tools and graphics and the puzzles are pretty easy and bit to few. Think you can extend this game alot and make it increasingly harder. It was possible to hit targets diagonally if you just tried a few times, letting go of arrow in the turn. This could be a feature to leave in or maybe restrict. I laughed alot when I went through the setting menu for controls in the beginning and there was an invert toggle but no explanation which key combination was default.

We had this wall climbing movement idea before, but you added the puzzle twist, very cool. The movement was very fluid and fun. I really enjoyed the puzzles and was really surprised by some of the solutions. BUT, I think it woul play better, if it was not a 90 degree turning game. Mouse look would make it even better. Please continue working on this game, as it has potential to become a "real" game.

Me being left handed always struggle with WASD movement but especially when there are secondary keys that need to be used also. That being said - I like the concept and it's executed well. Nice atmosphere and fitting graphics. I just wish I could be able to control it better. Well done still!

Developer

Thank you for playing! Sorry I didn’t have a left handed option -  but that is very valuable feedback going forward

Very smooth to play and very original. A lot of "Aha" moments. The audio was well balanced, although the main loop could have done with been a bit longer. Great slow paced puzzler. We felt very disoriented while playing, almost akin to VR sickness, but we get that was the idea! We weren't sure if we'd finished a level or not. Overall a very cool game, nice simplicity that didn't need a tutorial to work out what was going on, which says it was very intuitive. Great job making this in 7 days. We'd be very proud of the originality of it for sure.

Thanks for playing and the feedback! Sorry that it was a bit disorienting - ideally this mechanic could exist without that happening.

This was pretty fun, a typical kind of short, unique and well executed games you hope to find in a middle of a gam jam.

Such a fun puzzle game! You could really take this mechanic and polish it up a lot and turn this into a very good puzzle game in the future! 

I'd only criticize that this isn't exactly what I would call a dungeon crawler. 

Developer

Thanks! I totally agree with it not being a 100% dungeon crawler. To be honest I hadn't ever even played a dungeon crawler before this jam

I'm a big fan of the wall crawling mechanic and it was implemented very well! Also, fun puzzles, definitely made you work for the answers sometimes. Great job and congrats on your entry!

Developer

Thank you!

super cool game. there's a repeatable bug where you can beat level 4 by standing upside-down at the toggle eye, shooting it pointblank, and immediately sidestepping into the door as it's closing, then rotate twice which puts you on the other side and from there you can then back-step to clear the door and just walk to the exit without doing the other half of the level. sometimes my character gets rotated off-axis from the grid too, don't know the cause. would love to have a FOV slider and more of this game in general.

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm happy that you found that on level 4 - I hadn't considered that sequence but it's a clever solution. I haven't seen the off axis bug before, sorry that happened but hopefully it wasn't too game breaking.

Hey there! I've loved this one!

A great puzzle game with 3D thinking involved. Puzzles are well paced, and requires your attention to solve. Nice, relaxing graphics!

My only nitpick is that the music is kind of repetitive after a while... But that is in the backburner, so no harm done.

Thanks for submitting this!
