Thanks for bringing it to the stream:

Thanks for playing! I thought I should let you know that you DID have the right idea on that level, with going up one tile and sprinting right, but you then needed to go back left in order to go for the key, which seemed to have been not an option in your head, the video is nice to see a playthrough of this though!

That's a very cool game! clever concept, please keep working on it even after the jam, with a bi more polishing it will became amazing! good job! Please check out my game too :D

Good concept and great tutorial levels. The art is good. The problem is that the items is not aligned perfectly in the grid, so it looks like they are in another lane when they don't, and i think the movement speed it too slow. Still, it's a good puzzle game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, I definitely agree. The reason the grid doesn't work that well is because I used a strange system for movement that allowed the character to desync from the grid, as I'm not familiar with all functions available for moving game objects. Thanks for trying it out!

The game is good to teach you its mechanics without text, but when the real game starts at level 5 it become a very solid puzzle game with good difficulty. Good job !

Opening levels serve as a great tutorial! I like the puzzle and the way you run "out of control" Well done!

Hi! In case you missed it, I played and rated your game that you submitted to me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/678278731

Thanks for still playing it! I had to leave a little bit into the stream because it was getting really late and I desperately needed sleep. Sorry about the bug on the second last level, the hitboxes are a little wonky there haha

I really liked your interpretation of the topic. 

Overall, the levels were designed pretty well. The assumption in the last level was good. 

The mechanics are ingenious. The inclusion of the respawn feature (and the usage of course) adds to the games' complexity, paired with the restrictions on times each buttons were pressed.

My only negative is level 7, the blue text on the blue background is quite hard to see especially from a distance. Also maybe a restart button - although I could be blind.

Developer

Thank you! And I definitely agree with the blue text on blue background, should have been avoided and normally is something I would indeed avoid, but I'm not quite familiar enough with Unity's UI system quite yet. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice Work!

The sprint idea was nice.

Cool little puzzle game. I might have glitched into one of the rock haha.

NIce game! I had some problems when trying to sprint, didn't work all the time, but I enjoyed playing it

Developer

Thank you! Odd, maybe you didn't have enough presses at the time? I just haven't heard reports of that yet, but thanks for trying it out!

Submitted(+1)

I did have, maybe I was just stupid; Anyway, didn't quite work for me at least. Next time maybe also make the info on the control a bit more clearer :))

Good concept, although i wish it was faster... Good job!

Developer(+1)

The speed was something I had an issue with, the editor version was much faster than the actual build which led me to keep the actual build a bit slower than it probably should have been.

Really love the premise of this one, got a bit stumped sometimes, but I'm also not very good at puzzle games

Nice idea and good audio! Congrats
