The presentation is top-notch and the puzzles are clever!
However, many jammers when for a similar concept, so it may be hard to stand out in the crowd of linked character puzzles!
However, I really liked the chill vibe of your game and overall feel. It is very well done! Nice job!
a little buggy sometimes, and kinda tricky, but nice colors and good idea
Definitely the best looking take on this mechanic I've seen during the Jam. I'd love to see this aesthetic in a game that had more time to be technically polished.
The final level used the mechanics really well, having to go back and forth a few times to even things out. My one recommendation, and this is just for how I personally play games, is that I don't think a game like this needs really precise and difficult jumps. Once I knew what I needed to do, having to try a bunch of times because I was a few pixels off was more tedious than fun. Great looking game though!
Hey :) thanks a lot for the great feedback its greatly appreciated, you are right, in a game like this trying to land moves with pixel precision doesnt really seem to fit the overall experience, I hope that its nothing more than a map design issue than, I should put more people thought and planning into levels to take into account different paths and make sure to completely block or open up potential paths more cleatly so you dont get to a point where you can solve the puzzle by playing with collision systems. Glad you enjoyed the game!
This game is beautiful! Super immersive experience and great soundtrack!
thank you so much for the kind words!
Very nice art, music and puzzle design!
Thank you! Super glad you enjoyed it :)
Very well designed puzzles that make the player think around the game's mechanics. It's almost like my entry but like actually good.
Thanks for your comment, I also really enjoyed your game, I think the concept of mirrored controls was very popular in this jam, as much as I like to think that I was very original with this idea lol
Nice little game, I enjoyed simple art style and calming music, well done!
I’m getting Thomas was Alone vibes. Very calming music. But I agree with what others have said: difficulty curve is pretty steep.
Thank you so much for the feedback! you're right, I didn't put enough time into playtesting with other people, the entire time I was super nervous thinking the levels would be too easy and people would not feel any challenge, turns out I kinda over did it in this one
hope you have a great evening!
The game is incredibly polished and the levels are well thought out. I have to admit the difficulty curve was steep, so I had a hard time getting to level 5 or so, but still the controls felt so good I kept trying and trying xD. A lot of fliping can induce dizziness, so please take that into account when you make the full game! Great job!
thank you so much for your words I really appreciate you trying again and again xD, adding some sort of limit or timer to the map flips could be a really interesting mechanic that might require the player to be a bit more thoughtful with the flips and prevent them from getting dizzy, definitely something I will add! thanks a lot for your feedback and suggestion
Awesome Game I really like the level design and the art, The music is pretty cool overall love the experience =D
Really glad you enjoyed it dude! thanks
Love the concept! Levels are quite challenging! Would love to see more from you!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! turns out making easy levels is harder than I thought hehe, definitely something I need to work on, I don't have a social media account designated for the games i'm making but it probably is a very good idea to start one!
I loved this game, the music choice is great, the art is simple but good, the controls are nice, and the idea is nice! It was a little too hard at times but I really liked it! One of my favorites so far for sure!
thanks a lot for the feedback and kind words I appreciate it! glad you enjoyed it, yep, the difficulty is definitely something I should be working on. I really underestimated the effect of someone who is not you playtest your game, its easy to be good at your own game :p
Love it
