Interesting game, I think I picked up some parts of the portals but I'm not sure since there is no UI for it. You could try to polish it up a bit after the jam.

I want to understand what we failed to communicate here. The portal is directly in front of the player. At spawn. One portal part is in front of you. One portal part is already in the portal. When you pick up the part part using the UI indicated on screen, then you can drag it to the portal. Once you’ve done that, I believe it’s clear you need to find 8 parts.
We failed to communicate at some point in that sequence. Which part did we loose you?
Oh, I understand now, we have to drag the pieces by maintaining the mouse button pressed! 💡
I did notice the pieces on the map, right-clicked on my mouse as instructed, but I was thinking it was picked up and added to some kind of inventory... 🤣
I tried the game again and it makes more sense now, thanks for telling me "you can drag it" 😉
