I've been tricked, I've been backstabbed, and I've been quite possibly, bamboozled. Hats off on making me go from "Haha >:D" to "WHAT" in about a second!

Short and sweet platformer? Sweet - yes, short - hmmmmm! :D That last part took me a good while! But sweet indeed, cute pixel art and solid movement. I really enjoyed the animations because of the inclusion of a "falling down" pose. That's an oft overlooked one and it's always nice when it shows up! Great stuff and hope you can get that itch page up.

If you ever flesh this out into a full fledge game I look forward to it. well done!

Very cool puzzles ! It took me some time to solve the one with the levers and colored doors.
The platform gameplay is pretty good too, it feels quite tight, way better than most platforming games I've seen in this jam.

Простое приключение со спасением очередной анкеты превращается... превращается... превращается в элегантное подземное путешествие!

Спасибо за игру ^_^

I played this in my stream last night and I was laughing like an absolute maniac as I was crushing those lil green guys. Straight up one of the most satisfying enemies to kill xD

I like the plot twists that you think you reach the end of the game then gives you completely different gameplay with the puzzles that were surprisingly well thought out!

When I got to the end I thought I was being tricked again and spent some time trying to find a way out! Good job on this, controlled well and the puzzles were satisfying. You got a decent amount in there too, especially for one person! Congrats
