Nice game! Portal being one of my favorite games, I loved this one too! GG! I loved running around as the Portal. One comment is that it took me a second to figure out how to turn into the other Portal. GG! I really enjoyed this game! If you have time could you rate my game?

Developer

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and sorry the controls weren't communicated more clearly!

One of the most unique and interesting ideas in the jam for me so far! I liked the portal physics and the spinning to get over ledges and stuff. Still sad about the cake though.

Developer

Thanks so much! Sorry for betraying your trust, cake's expensive you know!

Cool concept! input are a little strange (I'm used to use spacebar to jump) so i got a little confused at the beginning.

Developer(+1)

Yeah control options would be a great feature to add if we had more time, sorry about that, but thank you for the feedback!

interesting concept and just amazing to see portals in a jam

Developer

Thank you! It was really tough but glad we got them working in some capacity :D

Really creative idea for the jam! Love that the portals take up physical space and you have to maneuver them around the level.  Good job! Also +1 vote for an active portal indicator! :)

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the portal movement mechanics and your vote has been counted :)

Thank you!

Pretty cool idea, although its hard to rate it with only 2 levels I did enjoy it a fair bit. Being able to spin portals is pretty fun to mess around with. It’d be nice if there was an indicator for the active portal, maybe a little arrow on top or via color coding the portals (maybe grey out one portal when its not being controlled?). I would definitely love to see more rooms!

Developer

Thanks, more levels and the active indicator are definitely good ideas and would've been nice to add with more time. Thanks for playing!

Wonderful idea, and congrats on making the portal physics work! It definitely doesn’t seem like something that’d be easy to figure out within a jam! The first room’s a very good tutorial, but I felt like the 2nd room was a bit finicky, sadly couldn’t get through it, maybe it would have been better to have some more levels in-between both!

But yeah, outside of that, good job on making it through the jam!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! It really wasn't easy but I'm happy we got a somewhat working game out in the end, despite the difficulty of the second level and the quirks of the physics. More levels definitely would've been the first step if we had more time so I agree with you there. Thanks for the feedback and support!
