Escape From The bygone by sudojess

Escape From The Bygone is a puzzle game disguised as a platformer. Complete each ruin to find your way off the planet!

I fell ill on the first day, so the game is incomplete, there's one puzzle, once you've solved it you will see the blue ball, that's all there is. You can wander around the planet if you wish too.

The graphics looks quite nice, lighting and the mood is there. Music fits quite well - so from art side it is quite solid. From the gameplay side ... well, camera controls are confusing, and the movement around the planet is broken (although way too many games got gravity wrong in 3D).
I do like the entry, yet it is very hard to put a verdict there - due to its incompleteness.
Congratulations on making the game. Even though just 1 puzzle, it is still a game! :)
But I'm not going to lie: It's very confusing. Perhaps because it's incomplete. I had no idea what the objective was at first and the puzzle is hard to understand.
The camera and movement work in a way that's not very intuitive and this makes it very hard to play. The weird jumping animation also caught my attention.
Granted, I can't blame anyone if people fell ill - in fact, taking that into consideration, you did well by making it into this point. Maybe the game was too complicated for what could be accomplished in the Jam's time.
Congratulations on your attempt though. Always keep in mind that, as long as you learn from your mistakes and make an effort, the next game will be better.
The control do feel very wonky, it is hard to orient oneself with the setu you have there. I tried to solve the puzzle but I couldn0t relate the symbols of the big pilar with the smaller ones. Then I wandered for a while and fell into the water.
It was interesrting to wandre aroun though. Even though ti was incomplete and had difficult controls it was a nice walk around with na nice feel and music :).
