An excellent interpretation of the theme with very engaging puzzles and even a collectible! Overall a very fun experience, although I find the controls a little unintuitive, especially when you jump and suddenly the control scheme is reversed.

great work nevertheless!

Developer

Thank you !

Very fun puzzles. Found myself playing zoomed out a lot of the time and couldn't always tell at that distance which way the character was facing so would have liked to see some distinct shape/feature/colour on one side of the model.

Thank you !

At first game seemed very boring, but when physics simulation started, i've got into it. Good job.

Developer

Thank you !

Imp in a wheel! Love the title :D

Nice job realizing this concept--the puzzles are interesting, too! Game play reminded me of some of the rotating stages in rayman legends. It's probably bias from that, but I found myself wanting to be able to independently turn the level without moving the imp. That being said, it all worked very nicely. Good job with a cool concept!

Thank you ! I wanted to convey the feeling of being like in a hamster wheel, where if you move, it's really the wheel that move making it so every moves needs to be thought of, but I had also started working on stage specific mechanics where you turn the level independently to the imp, sadly I did not have the time to finish those.

I loved the spin mechanics and the art is very good. Could you rate it in the game? Thank you.

Thank you ! Your game is cool too !

The option to change the camera view and making it into a game element is amazing. Good job

Thank you !

This is a cool idea. I like the artstyle too, the animated background is nice. I'm not sure i understood what was the black part of the screen on some levels ? Was it a bug ? Or intended ?

But overall cool game

Developer(+1)

Thank you ! The black screen is there to block the view and can be turned off by going to the little altar around the level, I see how it can be misinterpreted as there is no real tutorial of it.

Submitted

oooh i see. Maybe with some art on the black screen it would be better understood?

Developer(+1)

I added it late and did not have time to add art to it. I agree it would be better with art !

Really nice level Desgins for the puzzles

Developer

Thank you !

Surprisingly fun gameplay and the art is silly, I like it.

I liked the concept, I can definitely see a super addictive puzzle game in there  - it did feel like the speed of the rotation was frustratingly slow, and I did get stuck for a second on level 2 because the physics would quite work but otherwise very promising I felt.

Developer

Thank you !

The art was very simple but it had a strong impact on the game, I love the levels and how you try your way to get around it. Very simple but clever!!

Dude, that portal mechanic where the portal doesn't move is phenomenal. I can imagine that working really well, maybe in a more rigid, less physics based puzzle-platformer (Not that it doesn't work here.)

Developer(+1)

Thank you ! I thought of it because I wanted to get the player to use the jump more to get the wheel in the right place. 

Submitted

And it worked, too. I totally did that.

The art was cool! I liked the design of the skulls

Developer

Thank you ♥ !

Really good idea , but i feel like the spinning mechanic is a bit too slow but it might just be me

Developer

Thank you ! Maybe making the player able to impact the speed of the wheel could have been better ?
