I love this idea, I'm not sure the first puzzle always works? I was in the capsule and nothing happened? Great idea though love the shifting perspectives.

you had to press the "F" key when you were in the capsule

A fun idea for the jam, especially with the switching mechanic that also influenced the direction you could move. I haven’t seen that kind of switching used this way before! So, theme checked, and the palette was used as well.

Sometimes it didn’t seem to work entirely as expected, and I couldn’t progress even though I thought I had done everything correctly. The background music was great! Adding some sound effects and visual effects would polish the experience even more.

A solid jam entry—well done! 😊

Good game. I was pleasantly surprised by the use of only 2 keys to move and having to change views to be able to move in all 4 directions.
I am not sure if this was a bug or if I missed something, but at some point I placed 2 squares in the cylinders but the red wall didn't disappear.
Nice usage of the background music, I just wish there were also some SFX in the game.

Good idea for the jam, however the first level did not seem to work, the cube was in the cylinder but the wall did not disappear.

Good to add a tutorial level. Just one tup if you show dialogs hide the previous one. i was just walking around with the first one open and the second opened on top of it so it was hard t read,

Good idea for a puzzle game. Graphics and music get the job done, although I think the music's loop is a bit off? The transparency effects serve as great visual aids. There isn't much to say overall. I think the controls would be improved if you could always move in all four directions, but it was just easier to see with the perspective flip.

Interestingly similar to my game😄Especially the start where I had the same "change perspective to navigate around the obstacle".

At the start I got confused a few times what I'm supposed to do and what those cylinders, capsules and balls are supposed to be. The first puzzle at first didn't work and I had to restart so that it properly detected the cube in the cylinder and opened the door.

Fun little puzzle game! I liked how most of the puzzles were about traversing the level with the unique movement controls. It felt good to get it right, especially on the last puzzle.

I like the idea of switching the perspectives. I had some troubles with the controls first and always wanted to go forward when I needed to go sideways.
The puzzles are not too hard once you understand what you are supposed to do.
Some improvements I would suggest:
- Teleport elements could be the same but with opacity to where you go. ie: You have a sphere and a transparent sphere would show you where you land. a transparent red cube could show where the red cube should be moved. and so on.  I know you already have something in place but for someone who never played your game, it was initially confusing.
- remove velocity and inputs for s split second after the player teleported. I found myself dropping down way too often after teleporting. maybe a sound would also be good.
- the F to teleport mechanic would be great in a world space tooltip. I was in front of the door and did not know what to do
- maybe create checkpoints. After I pushed the 2 red cubes together I needed to start from the beginning because I was not able to continue.

Fun game nonetheless!
