Interesting concept, and I like the sounds and art for the tiles! I also liked the audio cues that let the player know when the door was open, even if it wasn't in sight. However, while this feels like a puzzle game concept, many of the levels were focused less on solving some puzzle and more on just searching aimlessly for the levers or even the door. And with many of them off-screen, there was a lot of time spent searching, and then dying and needing to try again to get a valid path that works. I do like that there are many more tiles than just the ones needed for the puzzle though, it looks more natural, gives the player wiggle room for their movement, and doesn't reveal the solution too easily.
I like the idea and it fits the theme well. But the size of the map, not knowing where the goals are, and the movement speed do make it a tad frustrating. Was a lot of walking to a dead end, self-murking, repeat.
Its a nice game for jam. The particle comes from players feet is not necessary from my perspective.
It’s a classic puzzle, and your implementation is nice and tasteful. But a tragic flaw! One really can’t play this sensibly without knowing the whole map. Since we can only see a screenful at a time, the only way to play is to guess. If there was something like “hold space bar to move the camera”, this would be a solid game.
Cool mechanic but with the camera being this close it feels like it's more die and retry than actual puzzle solving unfortunately
