How does your game fit the theme?
This game is a little weird Sokoban RPG. However, instead of controlling the avatar to push the box, players actually control the map and move the walls to push different kinds of stuff on the map. In that case, the roles of an RPG Hero and a map are reversed. It's not the Hero that tries to save the world, but the world on the map itself tries to save the Hero.

Very cool twist on the sokoban gameplay! Also, the game is super nicely polished
Really easy to pickup and the level progression is on spot!
Very fun puzzle, but for some could be a little bit more smooth and introduce more unique mechanics
This was an amazing puzzle game, restrictions do in fact make wonderful puzzles, and the twist of moving the environment is simply superb. And then every new puzzle element felt flawless. The level design was also spot-on. Definitely would've played many more levels like these
Real nice game, simple but interesting! i also was surprised by how many levels there were, 16 is quite a lot for a game jam especially considering the quality of the levels, also really liked the pixel art and the whole style of the game, really good!!
That's my favorite so far! It's really good!
I loved this game! The puzzles weren't so hard that it was impossible but not to easy that it wasn't fun. Good job!
So fun!!! I love how the mechanics were taught and the level designs- super easy to understand and fun to fool around with
Seem like a really nice concept. Like it!
Really fun! Great job.
Cool game, enjoyed it!
as someone else already said, this is definitely a Baba is You level of "i never thought this could be a game mechanic, but it totally makes sense once i play for 2 minutes" genius. incredible!
Smashed it, well done!
I must say I'm not really a puzzle game person, but I enjoyed playing your game and finished all levels!
Some of them were quite challenging and hats off for creating 16 levels. Well done
The game is way more fun then I expected it to be
Really solid concept. Some of the challenges broke my brain in a very satisfying way. Charming presentation as well. Great job!
The puzzles are great, but the theme idea is too simple and has been done multiple times.
Love the idea, and execution!
i would buy this
Amazing concept, art, and implementation! Very fun and unique game, 5/5 stars for me:)
