Newbie?

Yes - I'm new to game jams!

How does your game fit the theme?
The theme gave me the idea to the title of the game, which in turn gave me to the general idea of it. Also for me it was a reason to finally just get started and actually finish a project.

I am somewhat sad for you, the game is great and only has 4 stars, downloadable games must have more chance.
but a small tip, add a skip option, because i ended up rage quitting in the purple part, couldn't do it 💀

Developer

No worries about that, I had fun making the game :D

There is actually a skip option with j for previous level and k for next, was a debug feature but i left it in, I just wasn't sure if i wanna tell the player about it so the info is in a secret room but I should've probably put that one a bit earlier cause its at the very end lol.

Thanks for playing my game!

lol that's a funny thing, i can continue it now, try making it optional, as if you can skip after 20 death or so, would be good

This gives me, "Baba Is You" Vibes, in a good way. Even from the first room with text like, "A is Left" Or "D Is Right". If you continued this game, one I idea I have is to change the controls like "D Is Jump" in one room.

Developer

Yes Baba Is You was the inspiration, I loved that game :D I also had the changing controls idea initially but due to time shortness it had to be cut sadly

Really like this game, but after 10 rooms or so, it says blue is fine but red is fine and blue kills you :(

Developer

Was it maybe the room where it shows the shape rules? (Rectangle is Death etc.)

Submitted(+1)

Ohhhhhh I never realized those rooms depend on shape and not on color. My bad!

Developer(+1)

Noo thats fair enough, initially I had it showing those rules in all text as well instead of the shape, maybe I should've kept that for clarity, thanks for sharing your first view on it!

I really like the confusion mechanic of changing what each colour means each level, that makes even a game this simple really entertaining!
My only problem with playing this game is that my precision and coordination is trash, but that’s a me problem.

Developer

Thanks, i will also say though that some of the mechanics weren't executed well like reverse for example could've been done a lot better (at least it seemed better in my head lol)
