Cool game, would be great to have more levels! Nice to see people use their own engine
Okay wow, this is very creative puzzle mechanic and I love it. When I learned I can posses box I was mind blown. I've read that this is school project with it's own mini engine, so congratulations I think you will get highest grades hahah, this is awesome! GJ :)
When I figured out the trick with the crates I had a bit of an eureka moment, so kudos to that! Also impressive for a gamejam that it was coded in SDL2. Really great work, I really loved the puzzles.
Wow! Really good game, really enjoyed it!
Thank you !
Really enjoyed it, loved the design and levels! Impressive that it's made with in SDL.
I was a bit confused in the beginning about the spirit's control and the barriers. Personally I think the barrier color should match the character that can pass through it, but maybe that's just me!
Thank you very much!
We hesitated a lot about the barriers and ended up deciding that the color of the barrier would block characters of the same color. Sorry for the confusion !
