Beautiful game! I'm so impressed by how you hide those things that we could have actually done at first. Love this game.

I registered only to leave a comment, because I LOVED IT and couldn't let go until I solved it. I'm a sucker for metroidbrainias. I could feel the Fez vibes with the world style, and Tunic vibes from the hidden abilities, which are games I love a lot.  Also, in 4 days omg!

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with "Mark" that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.

Thanks! It's real interesting to see those metrics and how they compare.

The looping level effect made me a bit dizzy, but other than that it was a really interesting way of interpreting the theme, loved the art too!

HOW HOW HOW! how did you get the art and the game soo polished this is crazy level of polish in 4 days i bow down to you this is other level!

Overall, a really interesting game with a unique spin on the theme! The dynamic music reminded me a lot of Tunic. The pixel art is really cute (sucker for 2-bit games). Some friction points here and there but the sense of discovery was amazing. The visual effects were a bit trippy but I think that's more an issue with the wide aspect ratio.

Out of everything, I think the little touch of dynamic music fits in really well, so cool :)

AMAZING!!! love everything

hope to see more!!!!

hoooly crap. this is an AMAZING GAME. the first and probably the only one i'll rate with full marks. everything is on point. the art style is fantastic, the visual effects look super cool. all of the little changes in music are just so nice. but most importantly the progression in discovery is perfectly executed, everything just starts falling into place in such a cool way. had me smiling multiple times!

This was incredibly well made! The puzzle was fun and enjoyable. I had many times where I had to stand still and think about it carefully.image.png

Incredible game and an incredible twist with the perspective change!

Fun game! The graphics and gameplay are great! The level being a 2D loop around a cylinder is very unique!

Amazing! I didn't figure out the last code so brute forced when I had two digits... 

This is so good I'll provide actual feedback:

The distortion is quite trippy at the start, I'd try to look for a way to circumvent that.

There was a jump that felt like more of a timing/platforming thing than a puzzle.

Having to loop around the level just because I miss a jump felt a bit harsh.

Otherwise this has great potential to be one of those zelda-like level wide 3d puzzles. Very good :)

Very nice surprise with lots of polish ! Very good interpretation of the theme.
Going around the loop was a bit frustrating after a few times after a missed jump.

Absolute masterpiece. Took me 61minutes. best game I reviewed so far. Has to be a winner. Spoiler: took me soo long to figure out that the top right symbol changed by full laps. should've figured that the symbols have to do smg with the theme.

Increible game! definelty gfot some Fez vibes and some Tunic kind of puzzles, incredible art and the music makes it really inversive, congrats.

By far the best I played so far from a game jam. It seems like everything fits in almost perfectly. The quests are creative and the camera concept is incredible. Your team is quite big but I absolutely admire how you manage to bundle all your skills and ideas to build such a gem.
I played for about 2 hours and then I think I cheated my way out because I was missing just 1 number that I guessed until the gate opened. If I have some spare time in the next days, maybe I come back to figure out the right way of how to open the gate with the symbols.

Cool idea and great execution! I like the graphics and the twist.

Awesome concept, the puzzles start getting really tricky after some time (and my little mind is easily overwhelmed).

5/5 for the art, love the juice in the movement and animations.

The "warping" effect when moving is a bit unsettling at first, not very easy for the eyes. But I got used to it after some time.

Congrats to all the team, will be nice to see a full game based on this concept!

This game is honestly so underrated. The art is insane and the puzzles are so well done! Amazing job. You guys should be very proud!
