the art was actually pretty good i think and it reminded me of old flash puzzle games 😎

I played it for 20 minutes and couldn't complete level 9 (the one with two vortex and a narrow path alongside them). I guess it's not working as intended? I couldn't find a way to proceed. 
Overall, the game was interesting, but a bit a bit bugged (it crashed for me once when i got close to a red square)

- Review for the jam -

Controls - The controls are simple yet effective. Even though it's just rearranged WASD, it confuses you a lot. It's nice that you were fair and gave feedback to the player about which controls they were gonna use with each restart. I just wished they were introduced somewhere at the start. If maybe there were other interactions in your game other than moving, I could've given you a higher rating.
Art - It's not bad, actually. The colors are ok, the drawing is not bad, the style is almost consistent. Using a higher resolution asset was good, but it's not enough. I feel like you tried to make the game look good, idk.
Sound - The music was decent, ngl. The sound design has nothing bad about it.
Creative Badness - I liked the idea of the controls being fair and difficult without being complete thrash. Entering portals which you dont initially know where they lead to is also cool.
Theme - Doesn't really fit the theme. Only if you account for the explanation at the description (find the north), but, even then, it's a big stretch. The only next thing I can think of is the red spaces on the wall that don't tell where they take you. 

Edit: I increased the rating on the theme because I noticed you also used Cubey Jr.'s arm as a "grandma instruction"
