I liked the game but it crashed on me unfortunately (I was on a stage with 4 pillars). and it's pretty difficult to get rid of the enemies without getting hit because the warrior constantly moves forward and collides with them. an interesting idea nonetheless! I didn't see through the whole prototype but if you are to continue development, I suggest coming up with something a bit more crucial to do for the warrior. maybe you could try mixing up the dimensions in some new ways? that also can be very interesting.

and I like the thumbnail a lot, making a whole game in this style would certainly take it a step further.

TLDR keep up the good work! :)

Totally agree! This was not my intention at all, the fighting was added only to spice things up a bit, but it gets annoying quickly. I wish I had some more time for play-testing and level design.. But that's what I can do in two days, I'm still proud of it :) And of course the final game will be fine tuned from this aspect as well.

Thanks a lot for checking my game and for the feedback also!

Encountered an error which lead to a crash after the 4th stage but its a good start to an puzzle game. I don't see the real reason why demons and HP need to be in this game when the core is mostly about solving puzzles but I get that danger can be exciting.

I'm so happy you made it that far, as the game became much harder than planned.. :D Thanks a lot for the feedback!

The original idea was to play a classic hack'n'slash and a puzzle game in parallel, and even though I was able to implement most of the needed core mechanics, I did not have time to back it up with properly designed levels where they can shine, or even just to try the ones I have. :) But anyways, this was my first game jam and it was a quite good learning for me, especially about time management. I enjoyed creating this project pretty much and will continue for sure after the jam is over!
