This is your first game. It’s great
Pretty fun. The black tiles were a little too hard to see in my opinion.
It was really nice ! I like these puzzling games. The isometric offers a good challenge.
I'm just a little bit sad I couldn't pass the level 2 because I placed the tiled incorrectly at the end. I even took a screenshot but It didn't works. I supposes it because I could crossed certains blocks or move certains blocks at positions I think I normally could not so the result I see is not the result necessary for finishing the level.
But really great job !
I died by fire. Love the idea!
I also had trouble with the input x tile move but that's a minor issue.
The main issue was puzzle at the end of the level. The angle of the puzzle is nice because it forces the player to mentally rotate the level. However I was pretty sure I did one of the puzzle correctly so I took a screenshot and retraced the tiles on the level but it still told me I was wrong. It happened twice on 2 different levels (before I gave up :o). Was it because I move a red tile on the ladder tile? I'm not sure.
Amazing game! I really loved the artstyle and the general vibe of the game. I had a bit of a hard time getting my head around the movements, but i liked the idea of the outlay of the level being key to moving to the next one.
Great job!
Thank you for the comment, appreciate the feedback!
Good job on your first game and game jam for both of you separately! I like the concept it's very cool especially how you got the pattern submission at the end to reflect how you've moved the room in order to get the key. Can't imagine how long it took to get that fully working lol
Only real complaint that made it much harder to enjoy was the input scheme. Having for example W move the player up and to the right but blocks up and to the left made it very confusing. The puzzle at the end I also couldn't tell which of those two rotations I needed to use. I would recommend updating the input mappings after the jam and it'll be quite a good project to showcase!
Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback. I can see why the controls can be confusing, this is valuable feedback. We found a bug in the game that we need to fix and will be doing so, and will also think about how we can work on the game further with your feedback if we choose to do so. Thanks for playing!
