Very cool gameplay, and the puzzles were fairly interesting. I really appreciated the variety in mechanics and the nice artstyle.  If you have some time, also check out my own Project Marble!

Has a few important glitches, but I liked it. It's fun and the art is pretty good. So well done 👍

Good fun, although one of the levels seemed to be broken for me :(

Great adherence to the theme, the execution is about average for the games i've played here

The game honestly doesn't feel amazing to play but the idea is there and it's good.

Solving the puzzle and finding the solution is but the movement should probably have been on a grid and not that free for a puzzle game like this one, still good idea fits the theme super well and the thematic is good.

THE GOOD (what i liked, and what stood out for me):

I liked the idea for the game, and the link implementation was well made. The dungeon levels, unlike other games, were well thought out and I was able to cross quite a  few levels with a manageable amount of difficulty that allowed the game to be tested to its full capability. The game is bug-less and also has a good amount of interesting mechanics. Well done!

THE BAD (what i disliked, the bugs, and other problems):

As said earlier, pretty much no bugs! But I felt like the game itself was incomplete. There is a lack of background-music, and the game feels very clunky in general, for example, with the deaths and vast majority of actions you make as the player. My recommendation is to include "game juice" to your game, such as particles, screen-shakes and some of the built in vfx, since it makes your game look much better (although admittedly something that is cliched among thousands of games in the jam)

THE HARSH (stuff that would just make the game better, usually just personal opinion, don't take it too heavily :D ):

The story was well thought out, but perhaps some sound effects and interesting dialogue could have worked too? Your idea, unfortunately, was not very unique and done by the vast majority of the other submissions, at least it was executed well! Also ADD A LOGO TO YOUR GAME!!!

OVERALL: A decent, dungeon explorer with interesting mechanics, a good 4,3,4!

Maybe check out my own Project Marble while you're at it too. (Shameless self promotion :P sorry)
