Really well done, I thought the text resizing in the window was a nice creative touch. Great art and snappy controls! well done.
Very cool concept
Wonderful approach to the realization of graphics. It smacks of a Comix Zone vibe combined with old computers. (: It would be cool to see a full game in steam!
Super cute puzzle platformer and really well executed! My only gripe was if the window got too close when moving or resizing it immediately killed the player - there were a couple times where I would drag a window slightly too close and I would have to restart. The art is particularly great, well done!
This game was adorable! The music, the art, and the idea all works together really well!
Really creative and stylish game with a very nice take on the theme!
I would love to see a full version of this some day :D
One of the most unique concepts i have, and will, see in this jam or any other jams for that matter XD. I literally have nothing to give as feedback other than dying because of overlapping a window with the character confuses me a bit and i haven't had enough, which is the same as everyone else so, uh, here, just take my vote !
Really cute! However, I was confused with the refresh level resetting when hovering a window over the character. Superfun take on the theme as well!
Thank for playing! And sorry about that, made the collider for the window covering the player a bit too strict.
Very well designed game. I feel like it would be a fun speedrun game if I were a speedrunner.
I loved this game! The creativity, the art direction, the visual nostalgia! I was so sad when it ended; I wanted there to be more game! It's so charming. I wish I could experience playing this again for the first time. Great game!
I loved your game, I love the creativity, execution, everything. my only complaint was that it ended too soon
this game is amazing! i adore the art and style its all just so charming and evocative. I usually don't like platformers but this had me engaged the whole time, and I loved the puzzles. Well done!
First game I played through all the way and enjoyed the entire time. Congrats, this is a very strong entry
Really great entry! The visuals are really good, the music is nice and chill and the platforming via windows was interesting and well executed.
The level reset when a window overlaps the player seems a bit harsh as is. Potentially could update it to snap the window back instead of resetting the whole level? And/or a red outline around the player if the moving window is overlapping them?
Also the key in the last level was a bit finicky to grab. I'd get the player character fully overlapping it, but it seemed like having other windows too close prevented pickup detection
Aside from those two things, everything was really well executed. Great job!
I admit I was too frustrated by dying from slightly overlapping windows ; I would have preferred if it would do a shake + "nuhuh" sound and reset to its previous position.
However, I know this game will stick in my head for the absolutely striking artstyle and concept!
and also, thanks you very much for the keyboards rebinding!
Thank you! That suggestion about the windows is actually so smart haha. A lot of people gave us the feedback that they disliked that aspect and I think that's the perfect solution. Wish we had thought of it!
You know the game is good when you are sad it is over, very creative and well made, especially the little 3D model. Hope you make it into something bigger!

Really original idea and very good visually very nice game
Man. this is an incredible submission! I love how well done the screen effect is. I've never seen a puzzle game of this style, but now I want to see and play more!
Very creative game. Has a very nostalgic retro look to it, it adds to the flavour.
