Very interesting concept, and a well executed puzzler game! Very well done, and very impressive submission for the jam! Felt very satisfying to get the movement of the rooms down right the first time, and the sound effects for the grapple made it even better haha.

How does your game fit the theme?
You move both yourself and the dungeons rooms together at once with the grappling hook, and join disconnected rooms together to create a walkable path. The final level has a twist where you don't have any rooms to move, the entire core gameplay loop breaking down when connection is broken.

I'm aware collision checking is super buggy, it's definitely one of those things I'll need to work on for the post-jam version... right now I mostly tried to hide the issues by adding grace ranges and designing levels to avoid causing the edge cases, but there's a bunch of inconsistencies where the same action randomly succeeds or fails depending on what the maths feels like. I rolled with Game Maker's built-in collision system to speed up development, but it'd probably make sense to have my own grid-based approach for more control (rooms only really move in tile-sized increments anyway)
Glad you enjoyed the game despite the issues though! ^__^
Like 30% of the development time was trying to fix bugs with the collision checking, no joke! For some reason I ended up making the base room 3x3 tiles big (with separate edge and middle tiles), turns out that meant there's a lot of division-by-3 shenanigans going on everywhere that makes the maths break down when calculating if a pixel is occupied or not...

The jam time budget didn't allow for applying makeup, I'm sorry. You could always try blurring your monitor to make the wrinkles harder to spot.
