This is awesome. Great mechanic, and it feels so fun to use! Love the sounds and the bounciness when you're moving rooms around. Great job all around!
I like to make lists of my favorite GWJ games and this is making it on it. such a cool mechanic with the map!
great mechanic idea!
A real hidden gem :)
Very short but cool!
That was fun! Using rooms to build a level and then clear it or move the room you're in to the end of the level felt unique and exciting. It's a pity there are only two levels. I would love to play more.
Interesting idea! I ended up moving the statue tile directly in front of the exit in the second level because of some species of laziness that I possess. I love the no-outline pixel art style!
I love the puzzle element of moving rooms around to get to the goal. The second level stumped me for quite a while! I also love the art, it's very charming.
heck yea!
