very cute game, really liked the polish. the mask felt a bit awkward to control, maybe it would feel more natural to move with the cursor? Very well done regardless :)

Very beautiful, very polished! Great game!

The only complaint I have is that the mask is specially small, so many levels require tapping a move direction and then tapping the mask movement repeatedly to avoid falling and it can get a bit tiring and finicky. Also, there were too many levels that are almost the same, with only slightly different layout, with no different mechanics or something different to think about. I think there should be more mechanics with different interactions with the mask, like an enemy that appears in the blue world as asleep but wake up in the yellow world so you have to manipulate its movement. Something that need some time inside the mask to change its state, some element that always exists in both worlds so you have to make it fall by making a hole under it with your mask, etc.

Just some minor feedbacks and ideas. Well done! Great entry. Congratulations o/

Thank you for playing! Actually you can press the shift key to expand the mask and reveal the entire scene beneath, and the E key is for centering the mask on the player.

Thanks so much for such detailed comment. The ideas of sleeping and awake enemy and making it fall with the mask sound really interesting!

The puzzles are interesting.  The design that moves a player up on an obstacle by manipulating the mask is cool, and avoiding monsters in two dimensions is a lot of fun! The art fits the dreamy theme well, and  the octopus monster is especially cute.

it's so interesting how we had a similar concept (clipping masks + puzzle platformer) but vastly different executions!  The player does seem to struggle a little on slopes, but the puzzles are super satisfying! And the art is very cute :)   very nice game
