Nice! I liked the old dungeon style, and the puzzles were nice to (not too easy, not too hard).

Lovely little game! Really appreciated the different soundscapes you put in each room, they really give another dimension to the pixel art!
Design wise when I started I was afraid that the game would get too confusing having to remember where I'd restart and the layout of everything, but it felt like the restart was less required for puzzles as time went on. I think maybe another solution could be rooms/elements that change your restart point, which could help mentally gate different areas from eachother, but it's just a suggestion since your current design already works well. Great job!

very lovely lil puzzle game.  the art is very nice. the respawn mechanic is super creative, I love that the items that retain position or reset with you are color coded and I also like that the door symbols are very easy to read and well defined. The ending is so cute.

This is great! Love the puzzle aspect of it and the fact that you have to use the respawn mechanic to be able to do it, is such a nice idea! It really gives the game a lot more depth and since its like the center room it also doesnt make you have to go crazy distances so I think this is really well done! Good job! 

I think the only thing missing for me is a bit of music in the background. Unless you want to have kind of an intense and mysterious atmosphere, which I had the feeling it had. Then its perfect! 

The puzzle design is good and as others have said, using color to communicate the varying degrees of persistence is a really interesting mechanic. 

I would say, while the sound design is pretty good (and it seems you were quite intentional there), I do think that adding some kind of low ambient music would go a long way for setting the atmosphere as well.

Overall great job, this game is pretty cool!

Very nice game, using the restart as a way to solve puzzle is a very smart and fun take on the theme !

I had a lot of fun playing your game. The puzzles were simple but it made me few very smart for solving them haha. You've designed a really nice puzzle layout and I think that's something not to be taken lightly. It's very hard to make puzzles that are good. I would love to play more if this game ever had more to it.

I absolutely love this game,  the color code is very smart.

Very cool. Having the puzzle elements be color coded based on whether changes made to them were permanent was a great choice. Very intuitive. The true ending was cute!

I would definitely recommend making this game bigger bc i loved the mechanic, it's very clever. The artstyle if very concise as well, the game is perfect! ^^ Just get (re)started

really well designed! fits the theme perfectly :)

The theme interpretation is so clever and interesting! I had a lot of fun with it and would have happily played a lot more. There definitely needs to be a full game with this mechanic! Also, since there is a bit of walking, I appreciate that you gave the main character a fast walking speed! And finding your little friend at the end was so cute!

This game is really good and well put together! The whole thing feels like one big puzzle while not being overwhelming, almost like a Zelda dungeon.

nice game. good level design.

Ooh i absolutely love the puzzle design!! Having to respawn as the main mechanic, making blue items persistent but red items reset. oh my goodness its really good. But just when i thought theres more, the game ended. Fantastic game either way!
