Well, this really is a strange place :D Sadly I could not figure out what I should do other then run around.
I would recommend to give the player some guide line in the beginning, even simple thinks like "go here" or "find x".
It's really weird, really really weird. I got stuck upside down xD. Anyway nice job !
The game is really weird in a fun way, it definitely fits the jam theme. I’m not totally sure what I was supposed to do, though. At one point I randomly flew up into the sky and had to restart the game.
It is indeed a very strange place!
This is a really weird game. I liked the loading screen, it was really funny. But I didn't understand the rest of the game; a couple of times I just flew off the map because of gravity. And when I finally got inside, I played with the ball (I bumped it into the wall and couldn't move it any further), tugged at the statues, and didn't understand anything. Work on that. Good luck!
The intent behind that puzzle is to use the gravity changing statues to guide the ball along the glass pathway, could you clarify what you mean by couldn't move it further? It should follow your gravity direction and fall through the paths
It's a "strange place". I didn't understand it at first, but once I did, it became enjoyable. Great work
This game fits the 'Strange Places' jam theme perfectly! It’s not super intuitive at first, but trying to figure it out is what makes it interesting. Once I got the hang of it, it became really fun. great job!! :)
Very fun but mind boggling. Great job!
This place was indeed strange...
The game's weirdness is surely charming, the puzzles are difficult and it's quite easy to get soft-locked, but the mind-boggling feeling of trying to figure out the solution for the level adds to the charm
The music was quite cool as well!
Wow, I really liked it, I'm serious :)
I fell into the sky forever and froze my browser with man mode. cool trippy game lol. I like the mega structure design too!

Very interesting concept . Very confusing but I really liked the sense of scale. Also as other people have said that loading screen is great and hilarious.
Really cool loading screen! I did not understand what to do at first, the place is certainly strange haha. Good work
Haha, I almost lost my mind
Certainly a strange place in the game, pretty bizarre. I stepped on the statue and it launched me into the sky. On my next respawn after falling off the map, I stepped on the statue again and flew into a hole in the mountain, descending into the shadow realm (Just kidding, I kept falling and realized the some room models above me). Even so, it's a pretty funny game.
This was really funny honestly, it did admittedly take a while for me to understand the game loop but honestly I can set that aside cuz the game was pretty charming and silly! I'd like to see if u do anything with the idea after the jam, thought it was pretty cool :))
Really cool UI and loading screen right off the bat. The presentation feels clean, and the abstract vibe of the environment is definitelyinteresting. That big open field with the giant hand sculpture and the pulsing statue had a strong visual presence.
I'll be honest though, I couldn't quite figure out how to progress past the first area. I walked around for awhile and tried interacting with everything I could find, but I wasn't sure what I was missing.
Is there something specific you're supposed to trigger there to unlock the next area or mech (like the shrinking or gravity stuff I was in the screenshots)? I'd actually love to know because it looks like there's more going on that I just didn't reach. I'd definitely be down to give it another go.
The atmosphere and concept seem really intriguing; I just might need a little nudge in the right direction.
Hey, sorry for not making it clear. try walking on the back of the statue.
Gotcha, i'll check it out again right now
the loading screen was funny lol but the game itself was super cool i liked it :D
Well I flied into the abyss, great loading screen and very nice weird vibes, good job! :)
