My first Jam! More puzzles and music/sound effects were planned but I ran out of time so it's a rather short experience. Hope you enjoy!

I think this game could be really good. The movement is great and the art looks amazing I just think it needs music and Sound effects. Just to make everything fit together. Otherwise I loved every second of it!

Visuals were aesthetically pleasing and the pushing felt good. Cool puzzle game

Nice puzzle, not sure how its on theme. Can't loose, but can't finish, that's game breaking. Audio would've helped.

I liked the art and the push-puzzle. I was worried that there would be intruders on board pushing pieces back and messing me up. Fortunately, I escaped! Good entry!

Short but sweet. I really like the top-down pixel perspective I haven't seen many of those and I know how much work they can be to get right and I think you nailed it. The puzzles were pretty clever and didn't overstay their welcome. I liked the sprites a lot. Great work :D

Nice little puzzle game! The art looks great and the puzzles were well designed. My one complaint is there isn't a quick reset for puzzles if I get myself into a bad state other than going back the way I came and re-entering the room. A quick 'R' to reset function would have been nice. Thats a minor nitpick on an otherwise fantastic entry though, great work!

I like the graphics! I got a little stuck until I realized I could roll the cylinders from the sides, but all in all, it was a nice proof of concept. Congratulations on completing your first jam! Make sure to come back for LD50! :)

@aevek Yes that would've been much better option to provide! Thanks for playing

I like the art and this definitely has potential but it was really short and the puzzles weren't that difficult, I would have liked to do a lot more levels.

This is really good and I would love to see more in the future. I completely understand not getting to sound and music (I have done that before) and also making a short game (I have done that before too!) and I would love to see a followup game in the future with more puzzles if you ever get a chance to do it. Thank you and nice work!

Funny start, was hoping to see the intruder! But I would recommend making skippable dialogs, they were a bit too long for my fast reading :)
The puzzles were not too hard, which I like and I managed to escape!

That’s an excellent game for your first jam! Your pixel art graphics looked very solid. The puzzle was a bit easy though, but next time you will make it a bit harder.

Graphics really well made, and the game was fun! The puzzles were balanced and the last was difficult but not impossibile; also you took the time to make an ending. Keep up the good work!
