Hey thanks for rating my team's game! Just wanted to leave you some thoughts and constructive feedback.

I originally found some bugs but given your version update, I don't think they're worth mentioning. This feedback is from the perspective of the version you submitted.

Game design-wise, it was good to put spikes right next to the spawn because that teaches the player to be careful. And you want some sort of tension with the map. However, I would be cautious having spikes at all since it combines rage game with logic puzzle solving mixed with walking around... a LOT. The problem then is that this becomes not the good kind of rage game where you're trying to overcome something interesting and you have to reset the puzzle and restart all over again, talking to the same people. Ultimately, I think that will detract from the aspects of rage games and logic games. The fun in walking around is just not present for me unfortunately so there would need to be some reconsideration there to make the game fun. A similar kind of logical deduction puzzle was done for this jam here: /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4929069. In this, you don't need to drag your feet to get more information (though they have the torture mechanic which I also didn't have much patience for) and the focus becomes figuring out the logic. So I would pick one or the other and proceed with caution if you want to still combine both.

Regarding the logical puzzle part,, I went around to talk to each person: The cyan in the top left, the pink on the top right, the starting Will the Wise, the bottom green and brown people. They all made the same statement of "It is not in the west" or "it is not through a door". How can that be possible if all but one is a liar? Should they all be the same except one? I got confused here.

Anyways, hope this feedback is helpful! This game jam's theme was really tough and my team was struggling to find an idea too lol

I like the atmosphere the music sets up right away. Laughed when I got spiked through the first door on the left for a pathetic escape attempt. You should add a total death counter somewhere so I know how many times I got spiked/ or crushed. hahaha. I found some test text that appears if you talk to the pirate again after hearing his first dialogue. Not sure if the yellow vortex thing was supposed to do anything I could not figure it out. I found a way out of the map going to the right and then was walking around in black for awhile not sure if I would ever find an exit haha. I think there is an invisible collider in the top left of the map. I couldn't figure out how to get to the pink NPC, I was trying to go through the walls around the exit to the right, then i finally found the way in. I wasnt able to read the pink NPC text fast enough and when I go back to talk to her I got the test dialogue again, you likely know about this already tho. I also couldnt read all of (UGs?) text in time. Holy I laughed when I got crushed by mighty orc Foot of the Morky the Black Foot. Well I found the portal and was able to escape the prison. I probably died about 10 or so times! fun game :)

It's cool idea, considering it was made in 4 days, i liked the music in the intro and kinda wished it was kept playing. Art is very good as well.

Only minor nitpick i'd have is the lack of a restart keybind.

Hard to understand at first but got the gist of it after a while. I believe it would probably benefit from having a tutorial

This really cool game, really enjoy the game!!

Was a really fun little game.

The text from the NPCs was really fast, and I struggled to read the full sentences in time. I was confused for a while when trying to 'interact' on what I thought was a sign, but it was just warning me of spikes. I did complete the game quite early into my playthrough and wished it was a bit harder to find, and thus I played more after finding the exit to see more of the game and the NPCs.

I really enjoyed sound fx and the walking sound was a really good pick.
My favourite part was definitely the deaths :)

Very nice finished it. I like the visual style and the map. I managed to escape in a different way too i guess...

Nice! I really love this pixel art style:D

The death audio is missing i think, and the death should be a little bit shorter, but besides that is a great use of the theme!

Neat little game!
I think the art style is very strinking and gives the game a really cool, dark feel. I like the layout of the dungeon with it's secret tunnels and fake walls, it felt cool to explore (although those spike traps on the floor at the start are EVIL)

I think the NPC's dialogue should stay more time on the screen, sometimes it vanished before I could even read (also sometimes the text would outright display TEST, but after a few resets it fixed itself lmao)

As a little trial and error puzzle game it works well and it's fun to play, congratulations!

(Also, the deaths are pretty funny lol)
