I pushed a quick hotfix for that and to let the puzzle get solved forwards or backwards (I had it mirrored before)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice choice of music BTW.
I see that there are discussions about a key? I managed to reach the end without getting/seeing any key, did I miss something? Great, now I have an excuse to play again :D
Haha, it seems you don't need the key to open the side panel with the color puzzle hint (I've since patched). Though the color puzzle never changes so once you know the solution you don't need the key ever again :P
Thanks for playing!
I think I managed to glitch winning the game - on the final puzzle, I walked backwards after exiting the main loop door and it triggered the win screen. I was confused at first but played again to discover the staircase.
In any case, I really loved this entry, great job!
Just booted it back up to check out the glitch ending, whoops! If there's anything game jams are good for it's showing the value of broad playtesting :D
It took me a bit to figure out what i was supposed to do at first for some reason, at first(after i stopped
just walking through the door) I tried jumping up to see if i would break out of the ceiling, then i tried it in the hallway, and then a sidled back and forth trying to change my size without getting too big that i wouldn't be able to re enter.
Then I learned you can multi jump and just did that to the green square.
Good fun, nice music, want more puzzles, not enough time.
(Edit) Oh ya, forgot write that the Play again button didn't work, and also that the camera has a lock, and also that the camera is a little to wild for my taste
Definitely agreed on the camera being a bit wild for my taste too, for some reason it seems to mostly be that way on Web, it's much more calm on Editor/Windows?
at first I thought our games are similar but they are far from similar.
Your encouragement is definitely heard! This is certainly one of the jam projects I've worked on that I've been the most excited to continue playing around with and I'll be sure to update here if I add any significant changes or start exploring new ideas!
