I didn't like this game, but I'll keep it constructive: try not to rely on complexity to make your puzzles difficult. This is an interesting mechanic, and you came up with some pretty nice ideas for what to do with it, but I honestly would've preferred if the puzzles were easier/snappier/took me only like 20 seconds to do rather than including unnecessary elements, or just plain red herrings. Level 3 was particularly egregious, it felt no more interesting than solving a maze to me

That's fair, thanks for the feedback. Thing about level 3 specifically is i felt like it was gonna be a walk in the park/too linear unless i included "wrong mvoes" by making holes that reset progress. Atleast that was my thought process when doing level design. Maybe it was a good time then to introduce a new mechanic in a small setting as opposed to see how difficult of a level i could do with the few mechanics so far.  you sure give me a lot to think about level design wise, thanks for playing!

Nice twist on a sokoban game! It took me a bit to realize you could walk on top of other blocks after falling on them, but that was a really cool mechanic that I don’t think I’ve seen much (if at all) in other sokobans.

I played this on stream today (video here) if you’re interested in watching someone’s playthrough of your game. I didn’t get to finish it, but the levels could get pretty hard. Good job on the game!

Appreciate you playing it on stream and giving feedback! That was fun and informative as a dev watching you play through it. The level you got stuck on was actually the last level on so it was indeed meant to be as hard as i dared try to make it with the short time of the jam.  Watching though i do realize some things that could make dead ends a bit clearer in that level specifically.

Neat idea, I quite enjoyed this. I did end up getting stuck on the fourth level, I'm not very good at puzzles it seems!

There are some really good ideas here. I like how you were also looping through the floors of the map as you fall in the holes. And being able to land on the walls added a good level of complexity. With some polish, this could be a great game!

Feels like my mind built a 4d spatial representation for this one. A fun mechanic that'll tie your head in some knots for sure!

I agree with everyone, the mechanics are interesting ! A new take on the classic Sokoban. Too bad you didn't have time for audio.

It was an amazing game and I loved the puzzles

The mechanics are fire! Especially the 'going into blocks' thing, took me a while to realize it :P . Overall, solid game!

The design behind this is really solid. Genuinely good mazes and a good evolution of mechanics. The only thing holding it back is the communication of how the different layers work - it was really not clear to start that falling through the pits looped back in on itself. As a compact puzzler, this is genuinely good - even with a few states requiring a restart.

Very cool little puzzle game! Well done!
