INSiTU by tulipekoni
Let's combine a platformer with a top down game, sounds like a wonderful idea! In Situ, original resting place. You solve the puzzles by changing the perspective at the right time, simple as that!
The game doesn't have a tutorial and it's a bit hard. Main concepts:
Change perspective

press buttons to open doors

use gravity to your advantage

How to play:
WASD to move
R to restart
E to change perspective

Good interpretation of the theme, I like how you didn't go full top down but used the angle to your advantage! Very cool.
The graphics are as good as pixel art can be and they fit the simplicity of the game really well.
My only thing here is that I don't have too much patience and I usually hate games where I cannot pull the boxes I pushed, but that's just something personal and nothing wrong with your game!
Good level design, fun to play, very good looking, very well done!
I would totally play this as a full game! Or should I say even fuller game? The only negative thing I noticed is that it sometimes is way to easy to get the crates into positions from where you can only restart. Maybe a pulling mechanic or tilewise pushing could help.
Apart from that, amazing job! I send you lots of love and a bunch of fishes <3 🐟🐟🐟
Would be cool if you have the time to play our game.

We know about some bugs. We will probably make a full game and fix them all :)
Good job, and good luck!
Did encounter a few bugs while playing. When I cleared the first level and went through the exit I just fell outside of the level, no transition to the next one triggering, so I had to restart the game. On two occasions the game also just froze entirely. And the music just stopped playing at some point. No biggies, but probably good for you to know!
Solid mechanics, music and audio. Felt very complete. Would love to play an extended version with more levels and more puzzle elements than the boxes and the buttons introduced. You've really got a knack for building levels because none of them felt immediately obvious to me.
Minor detail, but would've been nice to have the buttons on the keyboard farther apart. Was easy to accidentally flip the level with E when trying to jump with W or restarting the entire level with R when trying to flip it with E.
Fantastic entry that I really enjoyed. Awesome work!
