I love the idea! It took me a bit to realize how they did different things but the level design eased me into it. Since the levels are isometric, I kind of wish their movement was too. Otherwise, great level design and clever puzzles!

I'm glad to hear the level design worked as intended! I'll take the full blame for the movement issue as i chose a bad angle and it became impossible to line up the movement smoothly, but that's probably the biggest lesson i learned from this whole project...
Thank you for your feedback and thank you for supporting our game!
(Hopefully not explaining something you already know!)
Since you have what looks like a 1:1 isometric projection, you can change the movement mapping from:
Up: (0, 1) => (1, 1)
Right: (1, 0) => (1, -1)
Down: (0, -1) => (-1, -1)
Left: (-1, 0) => (-1, 1)
Or something similar. Note that the vectors above are not unit length, so you might need to change it to something like UP: (sqrt(0.5), sqrt(0.5)) if you're multiplying by some speed.
Otherwise I don't think it was a bad idea to use isometric, it makes the art much more interesting to look at than a plain projection :D I do agree it takes more effort to work in though... Still, great job! There are a ton of great features for the amount of time you had.
Naww, i really appreciate it! And the projection is actually a bit weird as it's 33% wider than it's tall (240x180 for the ground iirc) which makes it possible but really hard to adjust it perfectly so i just settled with "good enough" because of the time haha... I appreciate the thought tho, thank you very much! ^^
