I really enjoyed this! The game is very fun and the folding mechanic is really cool! It allows for so much creativity! The art is fine. And there could be some songs, though.

Excellent work! Congrats, I'd love to see more of it!

Very cool mechanic! This has a great potential! You could make the map different sizes, make the folds bigger, and find other mechanics too I'm sure, like holes in the map or things like that. Great job.
