This is the best game I've played in this jam, period, the mechanic, the graphics, the cool twist at the third level, everything just worked, I'm really really really impressed by this game, and I'm hoping this will get included in brackeys video

To go into a bit more detail, from the level design, which is fantastic, you've managed to explain how your mechanic is so different from every other game that I've played.

Sure, the fake platforms I've seen in almost every entry, but the way it is used here as the mirror and the fact that you have to consider each side to then complete a section is really well thought out.

And that is not even the impressive part, the enemy, and the way the movement shifts to go the opposite way of your character, this was my favorite bit, together with the  fact that you had to keep track of 3 mirrors, I can't even think of how hard it would be to go beyond that.

It really reminds me of 2 games that I really like, Four Sided Fantasy and the mirror levels from The Witness, both are puzzle games that if you haven't played you definitely should.

I do have some tiny nitpicks, one is the player controls, which feels a bit too static, it misses a bit acceleration to smooth out the movement and the jump.

And two is the weird invisible walls of the platforms, for some reason in certain jumps something blocked me (level 5 and 4) and I think its related to hitbox of the player\platforms or the one way collision, we've used a spherical collision for the player and it worked with the platforms in our entry for this jam.

Besides that, really well done, eager to see how you'll take this mechanic from here, because you definitely should continue this game after the jam ends

Just... Wow! Thank you SO MUCH for you comment, we really really appreciate it, it really means a lot to us to hear that and motivates us to keep working on the game. Unfortunately, they were no video for the jams last year so I doubt they'll make a video for this jam either...

I've never heard of Four Sided Fantasy, but looking at a gameplay video, I can feel why you would find some similarities. I don't know if my fellow jammers know this game but I don't t hink it was mentionned during our brainstorming session for the jam. Let's say it's a happy coincidence, haha :D

I don't think I know what you mean about the "invisible walls of the platforms"... We'll try to keep an eye out for that.

I think you will be pleased to know we actually ARE working on an enhanced version of the game, with fixes that got mentionned a lot (spoiler, that acceleration stuff made its way into our backlog ;) ) and also, adding more levels, refining the current ones, updated graphics, more music, more sounds and so on... :)

Anyway, I'd like to thank you again for your oh so nice comment, we were so glad to read it, you really made our day, thank you <3

No problem! I hope brackeys would at least check some of the games but if not the community is more than enough :)

About the invisible walls, it's when you jump to one way platforms, at the center it functions great but on the sides it sometimes blocks you, it might be beacuse of the movement aswell

Also, if you have a bit of time, we would really appreciate it if you could check out our game, it's also a puzzle game, and who knows more than you how puzzle games work https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1419548

And if you're up to do something together, my DMs are always open ;)
