How does the game fit the theme?
The elevator leads you to very strange floors
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Everything was made by me except for the skybox and most sounds.

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at the playthrough again in the future here's the VOD timestamped to your game
thanks!
Yes, that was indeed a strange place.
This is a compelling puzzle game. I liked the environmental variety - I think the forest looked genuinely stunning. I like the concept of how the floors tie themselves together and make you take steps back, though the puzzle itself requires a lot of thinking power.
I got stuck in the maze floor being unable to find the solution, I did the blasphemous move of looking into the game's code and then realized how obvious it was, and seeing that others also got stuck - The key word is :)
The biggest issue is more of a nitpick, but this game could use V-Sync - There's a lot of screen tear for me.
Eitherway, this is a cool game and a cool submission. Well done!
Thanks! Maybe I should've added something that would hint to the solution, but I also didn't want to make it too obvious.
Maybe a slightly different color for the picture frame could help with that. The problem is that the player has no incentive to look out for the smiley picture specifically - This change can help it stand out and actually catch tbeir attention
The game is entertaining, to be honest.
Thanks!
Couldnt complete the game since I get motion sickness for some 3D games. Had some performance issues especially at level 2 since there are a lot of tress being rendered at the same time. Pretty cool puzzles and thats impressive as you are working alone as a solo dev for this 7 days jam. Great work!
oh sorry for the motion sickness, thanks for playing though
it took a while but i escaped the infinite room finally!! very cool game
Awesome, thanks!
Saw this on a livestream and I am excited about trying it out. I'll comment and rate once I'm done. Looks cool so far.
Really satisfying to open the elevator door to another location to explore. So far just barely scratching the surface of the game. Only went to the 1st floor and picked up a box then ended up in the woods. More to explore, hope to solve. Well done.
thanks!
Ever since I saw your messages on Discord, I thought, “I want to try this and see what comes out of it,” and I have to tell you , great job.
Thanks!
Pretty cool, the visuals and audio are pretty good, the gameplay is ok, I'm not a fan of puzzles. And holy, the elevator moves so slowly. I'd work on the gamefeel and the controls a little more, jumping felt really floaty.
7.5/10 :)
Yeah, puzzles aren't for everyone, but thanks for the feedback!
I really like the design of the visuals and the fact that you can go from floor five straight to floor zero from the start of the game, just to see the exit. I also like how the music changes from relaxing to more unsettling.
In the forest part, there is a lot of empty space and it was easy to get lost, before finding the paths.
Overall, a nice game that fits the theme well.
Thanks!
This is a really solid game. Never mind a game jam submission. Great work. Puzzles are fun and engaging and when I the elevator doors opened on the outside world I was genuinely taken aback. (I purposely avoid screenshots to stay away from spoilers).
There was a wee elevator button graphical glitch with flickering and falling gravity was a wee bit soft... The concept and delivery was really good though. I am impressed mate. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the feedback! :)

Fun puzzle game! my favorite was the ice room, it was super fun jumping on the blocks haha
Thanks!
Nice little puzzle game — and I love the idea of using the elevator to move between different levels!
thanks!
Of course, I'd be happy to! It would mean a lot if you could give my game some feedback as well ;-)
Cool game! wish there was more direction to point you towards objectives cause i got lost a lot. also moment is very floaty, more snappy would be better, i don't wanna be fighting the movement when its a puzzle game. great job tho!
Thanks! I agree with the movement, it feels weird.
Hi there, I enjoyed the graphics and style of the game, the SFX were good and the levels... quite strange. However they were too strange and couldn't really solve any of the puzzles. Specially the one on level 4, I tried picking up the items from level 1I think (the spheres and cubes) to leave bread crumbs when going into the right door but didn't work 🥲.
Oh and one bug I noticed was that in the elevator I could just continue jumping and float, even when stopped.
Good job!
oh yeah it's definitely not easy to figure out. Thanks for playing though!
Here is a small tip: follow the painting.
Did not escape :D Great visuals and it performs very well in the browser!
thanks!
Hello! For a jam game this is really really good lowk, the fact everything ties together is just really great, coherent game design. The visuals and audio gave off pretty good vibes too :3 I lowk accidentally softlocked myself by picking up the hammer and pressing q in a corner of the map :sob: (I was lowk trying to cheese the exit after :3) Also, if you decide to keep working on this (you should its awesome sauce!!!) u should add a settings menu / an option to turn off the grain and maybe a story line with voice over ;3
Oh nooo I just realized that I missed to check checkbox that would've prevented you from losing the hammer. But even if you lost the hammer you could've gotten another one. I didn't have time to make the settings but I'll have to make that after the jam. Glad you liked it though, thanks for playing! :)
That was a great game! I felt amazing when I discovered fire. I still don't understand the 4th floor. I solved it by accident. I wish I could play it again.
Wow, solving that by accident is some crazy luck. Thanks for playing!
I liked it, it was really fun craming my elevator full with random objects, also the transitioning between the different scenes works increadible, like with the outdoors one i was kinda shocked. overall really fun!
Great game! Keep it up!❤
Thanks! :D
