That was a nice puzzle game with some very nice visuals! I liked the core gameplay mechanic and especially on the last level was stumped for quite a few good minutes. Also, the camera movement felt very good and the last screen that displayed the main menu was a nice touch. Well done!

Developer

Thank you so much for the amazing review! I’m really happy you enjoyed it. 
Cool that you noticed the monitor detail too.

Thanks a lot for playing and your kind words!😊

Very good isometric game I liked visuals and level design, but I don't know German(

Developer

Hi, thank you so much for your feedback!

Yeah, that’s actually a really good point. I wasn’t sure which language I wanted to use for the game. In hindsight, English probably would’ve been the better choice.

I’m really glad you still liked it! 😊

Banger! How did you do that in such a short amount of time? :D Do you develope a lot of games? ^.^

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for the feedback, MoanaPrinz! 

Compared to last year, I had to cut the scope down a lot and focus much more on polishing . During those 48 hours, I probably got around 6 hours of sleep in total. 😄

But aside from that — yeah! I do a lot of programming in Unity.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the simple controls! German is not my first language but even then I was able to understand the controls

I really like your game! So far its my favourite of this gamejam. The sound is great, the artstyle is really beautiful, I like the 2D/3D merge and the mechanic is also perfectly implementing the given theme. Looking forward to see yours as one of the top games of this jam :)

Developer(+1)

Awww thank you!
Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! I spent a lot of time polishing, so I’m really happy to hear that it paid off! ❤️

Really cool game with an insane amount of polish! I love the mixture of 2 1/2D and 3D and the level design!

It took me quiet some time to find solutions to the puzzles!

Great work! 

Developer

Thank you for the great feedback, xeetsh! 😊

Really like the overall concept. It fits the theme very well and I love the combination of 2D and 3D! I remember your game from last year, which also looked just awesome. 
Only things I don't quite like on this one is how the camera is handled, but this is just a personal preference: I don't like it changing the perspective this way. I prefer the "straight" looking way.

Developer(+1)

Ah, Sherlocklini! 😄 Of course I couldn’t completely forget about Mind the Glitch from last year!

Thank you so much for your comment and for playing! ❤️

Just completed your game, reaching the final message. Really cute capture of the jam’s theme.

One of my favorites in this jam so far. Very well done!

Developer

Awww thank you 8bitsuperhero!

Really nice game!
I like how you interpreted the body & mind theme

Developer

Thank your very much!

I realy like the idea! And the graphics are clear and easy to read. I got to the end but i think i "cheated" a little in some levels, when it was more of a timing and reaction problem then a puzzle. Still really like it!

Developer

Hi Dr Marksman! Thanks a lot for playing! 😄 In the end, it doesn’t really matter how you beat the levels — as long as you beat them! :)

hmm i think i got stuck in level 4 or 5 (the one where i am told that i need to find new solutions when my tether is not far enough) anyway, nice litte puzzle platformer :)

Hi Krisekrise (love the name btw 😄)! I’m sure that’s nothing that can’t be solved!  Thanks you a lot for playing!

Awesome game, LOVED the art style and the game idea.

First game in the jam that I would play again if I got my hands on a full version :O

The only thing I could criticise would be the hitboxes of the enemies, they seem a bit too large for my liking.

Everything, especially the cat mode, was spot on :)

Keep up the good work!

Developer(+1)

Woah, that’s amazing! Thank you so much for such a great review!

And i’m happy you found the cat mode! 😄🐱


Seriously though, thank you so much for the feedback! <3

Cute characters. I was able to complete all the levels without too many issues. The camera angles weren't always super helpful, but I liked the 2D/3D mixed style.

Developer

Thanks a lot for your feedback Jenny! 😊

Amazing graphics, nice gameplay, a not bothersome music and really neet idea for a gamejam. This would also make a great full game, if tweeked here and there. Really great job! Thank you :) And we love the level design ! Keep up the good work. :)

Thank you so, so much, Pijiu! That really means a lot to me! ❤️

Music, artstyle and gameplay are all nice, sick you made this in such a short time.

Developer

Thank you! 😄 It’s crazy what a ton of coffee, energy drinks, social isolation, and way too little sleep can achieve.
