Cool concept and well executed. I like the mix of puzzle and exploration, but found by it to be very trial and error, which works but doesn't feel as satisfying to complete a level. Love the vibe with the music and art. Great entry!
Thanks for your great feedback! When I first started making the game, I wanted to focus especially on the puzzle aspect, but it took me more time than I would have thought to code the entire grid system. With little time left, I decided to make it more of an exploration game. My first idea was to make a trap system, where the player could place traps to kill the boss of the room that drops the key; this was just scope creep.
Maybe next time I create a puzzle game, I should give the player the possibility to calculate the moves beforehand, to make them feel more responsible for the result.
Nice atmosphere and music. Great job!
Thanks man!
Music it's incredible and I do like the artwork
Very fun! I enjoy spamming my arrow keys so a big hit for me aha. I think I got lucky in last level finding the door too. It's also satisfying the way you can jump to where a skeleton was
I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Pretty fun overall! I feel the movement should probably have been more grid based and aligned with the visuals. It felt like I was weirdly offset from the tiles. Maybe an aspect ratio issue?
Feel free to give my game a rate too if you get the chance :)
My bad I didn't see that the stone guy wasn't centered (the sprite is asymmetrical). Well it was easy to fix, will patch the game after the jam. Thanks for playing.
Why do i want to jump around with sceletons after this game???
No seriously, i like this game the visuals are kinda cool and the music wow.
Me too I want to jump with skeletons in real life, sadly they can't move :(
Lmao
