This game was so good I really liked it and through to the end. It's very well polished and you have a really cool level transition. The main menu was also very stylish. The puzzles were well thought out too. Good job on your entry

Hey there, Luanico, glad you liked the game! The initial idea was to have something to do with the previous level once you got out of it. However, because of the complexity of the level design it would require and the time frame of the jam did not match up. We will try to get on that mechanic once the jam is done😊

Hey Sfunk,
Thanks a lot for trying out our game! We are indeed happy with what we managed to complete. But, we are more excited for what's to come. We are realizing the potential of the nested levels and hope to create some mind-bending puzzles in further updates.😄
Thanks a lot for the compliments, voveostudios! We initially had something planned with the nested structure where you had to use the previous level as a component to get to the next level but once we started making the level design, our brains were cooked enough not to go with that plan. This will definitely be a mechanic that we'll work on later.
P.S. Thanks for reporting the bug, will add it to our list and fix it once the voting is done😊

Thanks for the feedback, we really appreciate you trying out the game. We are actually thinking about utilizing this mini-level block to create more mind-bending mechanics. You can expect more from the game in the future!😄
Thanks for the feedback😄,
I'm not completely sure I understand the query but the activator cannot be activated from the front left or front right if you're not on the correct ground level. While it might seem like the activator is on the same ground level as the portal...it's not. You must go behind the walls on the bottom floor and access it.
We wanted this as a red herring since the isometric view provides such opportunities. But, maybe we did it a little too early in the game or didn't provide enough clues in the previous level.
Meanwhile, if you were trying to access it from the correct ground level and could only get it to work from one side of that activator, that's because we only have the trigger to check if the player is in range, on one side of the activator...which is why we block the other sides usually, you might've found a way to enter the other sides, which was not intentional.👀
Here's a screenshot to show what confused me:
On my first play I thought it looked like the activator is on the ground floor, because of how it doesn't match with the tile grid up top, so here I am running into a wall and hoping to access the activator. In my brain, I think I am up against the front left side. But it is unaccessible, so I start wondering if actually it's on the top floor, or there's something else I'm not finding somewhere. I'm busy wondering what's going on with the moving platform on the right, and what's up with the blue square, and whether there's any mechanics I'm missing.
Now that I know where the activator really is and understand the design of the tile visuals a bit better, it's obvious in retrospect that I'm actually up against a corner and not the activator. And I know that the blue square is an elevator, which will be activated by the activator. And I know that the moving platform on the right is a red herring. Now, it's obvious that the solution is as simple as going a bit further left and up, and then the puzzle is solved! At least, it's simple now that I know that's what you're supposed to do, and what all the elements on screen do.
I'm sure I would've gotten it eventually, and maybe I don't look so smart in this screenshot... but since I saw I'm not the only one who got stuck here, I thought I'd go into excruciating detail :)
It really is a beautifully smooth and polished game. That I can nitpick on a level design detail as small as this is a testament to how professional the game feels in general.

Hey Galatyne, that's for the feedback!
As for the 3rd Room, the activator is not where it seems. It's actually behind the walls on the bottom floor, try going behind the walls to find it.
