Super cute. I'd like more feedback on some things, like a timer bar on the robot or a fill bar on the student so I know that what I'm doing is having an affect. Took me a minute to realize the chime noise was telling me I succeeded in a task lol
Great job!

Really enjoyed having to think through this puzzle.  The time difference in the portals was a neat concept.  I'm not quite sure if the green portal was meant to be used?  I managed to complete it with only using the red one.  Great job with this submission

Developer

Thank you! I intended for the green portal to be used for solving the coffee puzzle but I guess since time doubles in the main world while in the red world that still works. Multiple solutions I guess haha

Cool puzzles, really like that you can interact with the portals like any other object. It took me a while to understand that each portal had a different passage of time.

Thank you! Yeah I intended for you to sit down and figure it out slowly :)

very nice thing with the portals i figured how to insert the robot but after that i just dont know what to do and also you can stuck forever in a dimension if you take the green portal in the red portal but overall game felt nice would be perfect to have some more animations and sfx

Interesting idea, but I can't figure out if the web build was bugged for me. No matter what I tried I was also a bit too slow to save the robot... I could also just be dumb 😁

Developer

It's not bugged, you're just supposed to go into the portals near you with the robot to slow down time for it, Interstellar style :)

I  really like this game! It was short but the game in general was  well made. It makes me wonder what kind of story/scenarios or puzzles you could've made if you had more time to develop the game.

I think I missed the wildcard part, i didn't see any 3D objects in the game

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Yeah I spent most of my time figuring out the systems and implementing them that by the time I was done I only had time for two puzzles lol.

The 3D objects are the coffee machine and the terminal. I modelled them in blender and turned them to sprites lol (I guess it's not true 3D haha)
