Yoo this shit goes hard. I spent like ten minutes doing some sick flips with the portals. Did a frontflip into a slide under one of the blocks in the first level by complete accident, and didn't leave until I managed to make it look as clean as the first time.
Haha the tricks you can pull off with the spinning are probably my favorite part too, thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Really fun and clever idea!
I must confess I got stuck on level 2 though 😅 : I think I knew how to solve it but didn't manage to actually do it.
Thanks! Level 2 is a bit tricky yeah, my main recommendation is to try falling onto the box rather than having the box fall on to you (if that makes sense), good luck!
Cool portal platform puzzle.
I think level 1 is a bit too hard. My cube stuck in corner.
An interactive tutorial would be nice.
Great work!
Thank you for the feedback, I had kind of hoped level 1 would serve as a tutorial but guess that didn't work out super well. Thank you for playing!
Really original & ambitious idea. I feel like it might have been a bit clunky or unintuitive to control at times. I know I instinctively pressed space a few times to jump & ended up accidentally switching portals.
Thank you! Having alternative control options would've been ideal though unfortunately I didn't have time to add them. Thanks for the feedback!
Cool idea!
Thanks!
Very nice way of working with the theme. I like the concept a lot. Unfortunately, I got stuck on the second level already. It took me a lot of fiddling to get the block into the deep part and then when that didn't actually solve the puzzle I didn't have the patience to continue. I do realize my patience is lower than usual at the moment, so that's probably a part of it too. I did get stuck in platforms a lot, but after not understanding it at first, I did always get out pretty quickly after that. Oh, and keeping the portals in separate areas in the first level was a great choice to help the player understand the game!
Thank you for your feedback! Yeah the second level definitely is much more tricky than the first and it's understandable to get caught up in it, sorry about that! Glad the first level worked well for you though, and thanks for playing!
Super clever role reversal! Got stuck on the second level for... longer than I'd like to admit, but got to feel like a wizard when it finally clicked. Physics were complete jank but in a fun way - awesome jam entry for sure!
Sorry about the difficulty on the second level, it was a relatively last minute addition, but I'm glad it felt good once you beat it! Fun jank was definitely what we were aiming for with this so I'm happy to hear it, thanks for the feedback!
Thank you so much!
That is an interesting spin on Portal. The angle snapping on the rotation was a good idea for this. Good job :^)
Thank you!
Cool concept. The physics is a bit wanky otherwise it would be really fun. More visual cue on which protal you're controlling would be great.
Also I can't help laughing when I hold down e to see it spining like crazy.
Thanks! I knew going into this that the physics would be kind of janky, but I hope it's the good/fun kind of janky at least! I definitely understand the portal indicator thing, it was just something we didn't have the time to add even though it'd be really helpful. I'm glad someone else enjoys just wildly spinning the portals as much as I do because it's probably my favorite thing to do in the game, and thanks for all the feedback!
Very unique idea! I liked the puzzles they were a bit challenging which is loyal to the portal games haha, good stuff!
Thank you for playing! Happy that the difficulty wasn't too rough and that we were able to emulate that aspect of one of my favorite games :D
A tricky puzzle game, I had a hard time get through the levels but it was nice to do so
Yeah things may be a little bit too tricky to pick up but I'm really glad you enjoyed working through them, thank you for playing!
this is a cool one!
Thank you! You're a cool one for checking the game out! :)
Niiiice. Haven't seen any Portal adaptation this far. Nice creative thinking here
Thank you very much! *ahem* "...Now you're thinking as Portals!" :o
Honestly this was pretty fun, spent way too much time just juggling the cube between portals to see how high I could get it
I'll say messing around with the physics is probably my favorite part of the game too, thank you for playing!
Cool idea! Havent seen any portal spin-offs yet. Well done!
Thank you! I would definitely say this game has a lot of spinning, and I appreciate you taking the time to play it! :)
Portal is my favorite game and this was really clever! The second puzzle definitely showcased the unique ideas of you controlling the portal. Well done.
Thank you so much!
Love the idea and there is a lot of potential in this. I'm sure the physics and all was hard to code, too bad there was only so little levels. Great job!
I love that the portals actually can interact with the environment in a way.
Thanks! I'll definitely try to prioritize making more levels in the future.
Good game concept! You're right on ambitious to code! Took me a bit of time to figure out how to handle the portals but I did beat the first level!
Thank you for trying the game! Glad you were able to figure it out :)
