A very creative game! The presentation is great as well. The core gameplay is good as well. I did eventually got stuck on the level where you can first pause. It’s a pretty sudden jump in difficulty that seemingly goes from requiring careful thought to precise movement. Though maybe that’s just the platform being glitchy, since it doesn’t behave like any of the platforms before it. Either way, I really liked the part of the game I was able to play, so great job!
It seems that you have found one of the bugs that we are aware of, and we are sorry that this has ruined your experience. After the challenge is over we will work hard to try to fix all the problems that you and other users are reporting, thank you very much! <3
I was caught so off guard when I THE TUTORIAL BOX MOVED; But, great game! I'd love to see this idea expanded with more levels and mechanics.
We are glad you enjoyed our game, thanks! We already have several ideas that we would like to test and implement, so stay tuned if you like! :D
THIS IS AMAZING!! It's so funny. I didn't expect that the character would be the literal sign of "press x to move" haha. I'm looking forward the next updates!!
Thank you so much! Really enjoyed your game guys :D
OMG, What an amazing game design and mechanics. It's so funny to play this game. I'm absolutely in love. Please, tell me you're going to expand this game in the future.
One of my favourites of the jam, for sure. Congratulatioons <3<3
Thanks for you kindness, we are glad you enjoyed our game! We have tons of ideas to test and implement while whishing to expand "Input to Action". Ideas that for example we discarded due to the time limit of the challenge. Thanks again for your feedback, seeing messages like this really give us the charge and energy to keep up!
This is a cool idea well done, and I like that you put a few different mechanics to use in there :)
Glad you like our game, thanks!
Wow, that last puzzle was really cool, I'd love to play more levels with the pause mechanic! I definitely would've loved access to all actions at all times (which would be doable if wasd was replaced by arrow keys) but I'm not sure if that'd make the puzzles too easy. Very creative and well executed!
Thank you so much! :D
Well done with making a really fun puzzle game. The only thing I struggled with was the controls even though I knew what I had to press it was difficult to seamlessly use them. Overall great game.
Thank you for the feedback! We know that controls may seem a bit too cluncky in some instances, but we are already designing ways to better feedback to the player what is happening and also to give a certain degree of tolerance to the "tutorial switch" mechanic. Thanks again <3
One of the best puzzle games that has implemented the Jam theme! You deserve to be in the top
Thank you so much for playing the game! <3 We are glad you like it!
15/15 Nice puzzels, great polish, good looking!
Thank you very much!
Very nice work
We are glad you like it! :D
super creative idea! The reveal at the start is great. I love that there isn't any filler levels, they all bring something new to the table. I wonder if you added some color to the buttons on the tutorial box if it'll be easier to distinguish quicker and make it a little quicker to switch between the rules? - (eg. "SPACE", "A", "D", "G" -- giving each of those buttons different colors).
Really nice work overall!
Thanks for your feedback! This is an interesting idea, we'll think bout that, thanks :D
Really cool game, was really fun to play too!
Super cool game. I really like the mechanics and it's very interesting. Wish there were more levels
We are glad you enjoyed our game, thanks! We already have several ideas that we would like to test and implement, so stay tuned if you like! :D
I said "oh that's neat" out loud a few times while playing this. Controlling not just movement but also the pause screen, good stuff. Maybe could use number keys or something for dedicated page/panel switching, I kept having to go all the way around because didn't remember where stuff was, especially when character was behind the pause text. But over all very fun and would check out any further polished version.
Thank you so much! We'll surely think about your idea when expanding/polishing it more.
Easily the most creative game of the jam I've played. This was something special and could easily be a full game. The moment of realization in the last level was fantastic. Great job!
Thanks for the kind words, we are glad you enjoyed our game!
This is a really cool game! The premise is super creative, the art style is cute and you made a good choice of music. I especially liked the last puzzle. Good job!
Great concept! Loved the idea, art and implementation! The puzzles were very clever and this has so much potential. Great job!
Took me a second try to understand that i could switch controls with the arrow keys, but after that it was ON!
Glad you like it. Thank you so much! <3
More people definitely need to play this!! I really love the tutorial bar being the character and integrating the pause menu into the gameplay is a really unique idea. I was more than a little sad when I pushed a couple of the robots aside to their untimely death. Haha! Greak work!!
Thank you very much! Sorry for your robots ahahah
Great work ! The idea is really good and has potential for a lot more awesome puzzles. Really liked the mechanic introduced at the last level, too bad we don't get more of it. Would love to see and expanded version of it, especially since the last level was where things were starting to be the most interesting
Thank you very much for you kind words! We would really like to expand the idea and explore several other concepts that we have in mind. if you'd like to stay tuned! <3
