A very cute and nice puzzle game! Simple mechanic but can create a very complicated and challenging puzzle, definitely loved it! However I think there have some aspects that can be improved, for example, I stuck at level 2 for a long while because I don't realize that the pillar can be swapped. The keyboard key location also kinda awkward to control as "K","L" is not the usual key used in games and it have a long distance from the "R" and WASD key, maybe Q and F will be more comfortable.

Also, I got this bug when I swap and standing on the stuff that I swapped.

Thanks for the feedback, I'm aware of the bug and trying to fix it :)

I really liked the game idea!
I would love to see different items with varied mechanics, combining stuff would definitely add more flavour to the game.

The only negative thing is that it's not clear which items are interactable. I.e.: I didn't know I could move the flag, which is a big game-changer.

Developer

Noted. thank you!

A cute little idea with a lot of potential for a full game, let down slightly by the fact that it's sometimes hard to read which objects can be swapped. I'd love to see you do more with this concept though!

Developer

Thanks!

This is a pretty cool game ! The controls feel very smooth and not floaty at all, the swapping effect has a certain crunchiness which I like. This can really become a very interesting thing ! Perhaps adding a shader of sorts to indicate what can be swapped (or even just give the object a slightly distinct look). Awesome job, can't wait to see more levels , but this is a great start, thank you for submitting it to my stream !

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!

Submitted

This is good. I would have liked more levels though and maybe more than just a few objects to swap with.

Developer

I hope the post-jam update will fulfill your wishes :)

Submitted

That was really good! Played through the full thing, once I realized on the last level that you can cast up and down it really opens up the possibilities for what this concept can do. I won't spoil the final object you cast for other people but it was a very cool moment. Great Work!

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback :)

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the vod again in the future here it is timestamped to your game 

Developer

Thank you!

A very nice idea but would have loved to see the idea developed with complexity with more levels. But there's definetely great potential here for some great puzzles! The game looks amazing! Very well polished for 48 hours. Loved the swap sound effect! Good job!

Developer

Thanks! Stay updated over on my youtube channel

Submitted

Game cuts off at the best moment -_-. I would pay for a full release after some polishing!

Developer

I will announce a post-jam update on my youtube channel :)

A pretty cute game with friendly game mechanics, excellent level design, and great art (&music).

Level 3 is a bit tricky =).

Surely recommend developing this project further.

Developer(+1)

Can't thank you enough :)

Submitted

Cute game! It took me a moment to understand what I was supposed to do, and I found the controls awkward for how I like to use a keyboard; but actually playing the game was nice, and the mechanic and puzzles were good. I would love to have been able to play even more levels! Goodluck in the jam!

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much.

Great game my dude!

Submitted

I love these types of games, the platforms and the problems to solve are good. Perhaps it would be better if the controls that the player can use are explained at the beginning. But overall great game.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback, I added the controls on the game page :)

fun game with cool art and sound effects! 

Submitted

great little idea with plenty of room to expend upon! I struggeled a bit with recognizing what was part of the background and what was interactable. had a lot of fun while playing :)

Developer

Thank you very much for the feedback

Hey everyone!  Please do not hesitate to download the game, as of now I don't have a WebGL build uploaded.

After the jam ends there will be a post-jam update that expands on the game (with a web build)!
