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.

WALL IS YOU! 

Great puzzler here! Amazing level design and quick execution. A game like this in 48 hours. Wonderful work

Good puzzler with a satisfying learning curve. It took me a few goes to really understand the mechanics, then the difficulty slowly increased. And with new items being introduced as you go through the levels - really felt like this could be made into a full game.

Great work.

Great idea! The graphics were nice and the audio was just fitting to the game. Well done.

Really cool game! Reminds me a bit about baba is you.

Good job, I had a lot of fun until I faced these weird bugs. But overall I loved the idea, the implementation, introducing the new mechanics, and the puzzles themselves.

Great execution! Definitely see potential for many more levels that really play into these mechanics.

Super cool game!

Fantastic game! It took me a little while to figure out which bit I was moving, but I think that was more of a 'me' problem. Beautifully-designed puzzles that teach various concepts in a structured way, which is rare for something created with such a strict time limit. Very nicely done :)

Submitted

Excellent puzzle!! Nicely executed! Brings me back to the good old time of playing baba is you

Submitted

Nice one ! I like the different levels you get to play here !

But I'm a little confused at level 15, you can sometimes push the rocks submerged by lava. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of bug.

I absolutely loved playing this game! The puzzles were interesting and it definitely seemed like there was a heavy inspiration from Baba is you. I really enjoyed playing this.

Really creative and fun! None of the puzzles were boring or infuriating and I found myself eager to solve every single puzzle that came my way. There was a small amount of bugs I encountered, but nothing bad enough to hinder my enjoyment. Great work!
