Nice mood but I'm afraid the puzzle is totally lost on me. I couldn't figure it out at all. I love your interpretation of the theme, though. Life in different dimensions is interesting. OH and I like your particles!

A reset would be really appreciated instead of having to reload the webpage, especially when it takes a while to load, walk to the map again, and read the map again.

It was also easy to sometimes accidentally click the wrong direction since I was not sure where the direction button boundaries were, and I clicked too quickly without watching the overlay text.

I got to the second screen though!

I felt like this game was one of those silly puzzles that people give you to make you look like a fool. Luckily, nobody else was around and the source code was provided.

Don't judge me.

Despite that, I felt that the storytelling was lacklustre, and that an 'anonymous' character (essentially a silhouette that suggests a human) would have been more appropriate. I will give credit for the originality of the puzzle, and I had a great time digging through the code to find the solution :P

Great idea base on the theme, I really like your perspective. Though, I haven't succeed yet...
B.t.w, like others said, I think a reset is really useful, and I don't think it changes the game, so why not modify the compo version

I love the theme interpretation, that's what I'm most impressed by here. The game looks nice, but it is confusing. I did not manage to finish it. But it is a great entry!

"South Park: The Stick of truth" has exectly the same "forest puzzle" but with Zombie-Nazi:) Good job!

Neat game. It is almost like an interactive riddle! The compo version cried out for sound, which you added to the extended version, so that was nice.

Good job!

@deyteris_team, it's not the same puzzle.
I didn't play "South Park: The Stick of truth", but according to the walkthrough, that puzzle is different. Watch this video:

Liked the first puzzle but couldn't solve the anagram, English not being my native language. Really nice concept and atmosphere!

I enjoyed the lateral thinking needed in your game to solve the puzzles. It wasn't too complex to be frustrated, but was just complex enough to be challenging - which is a tricky thing to achieve in a gamejam!
