Nice graphics, fun game! I included it in my GMTK compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Some of the most fun I've had playing a game jam game! Great work! You're game is perfect in my eyes!

Super cool art and animations! Although the platformer element was there, it is currently underused. Maybe that was why running towards the goal wasn't the most satisfying experience.

This is so cool!

I love the idea and what you actually made of it. The game is very well polished and the sound effects really drive home the sensation of shifting rooms!

You've made sure to introduce new mechanics with very simple "play don't tell" levels, which is so much more elegant than any tutorial, menu or text can achieve.

I really don't know what to add, there's a few additional bricks around the core mechanic of shifting rooms – like the restricted areas – which push the puzzle and decision making even further, which is just great! And you've made a decent chunk of levels too to show-off what you made.

Congrats on one of the best games of the jam by far, very well done!

Wow this is pretty much perfection for a game jam! Amazing work overall. Sometimes I just stumbled upon the solutions without thinking, even so the game feels so polished.

Love that idea. Feels like a Rubik's cube. I mean, potentially you could even extend the game onto a Rubik's cube.

Cute game and nice music ^^ good job ^^ I find one weird thing if you go against the wall on to the left in the middle and move it up your character will go with and then teleport back ^^

Incredible game - presentation, design, everything. Love how heavy the rooms feel as they slot into place. And that music... seriously nice work!

Submitted(+1)

Oh yep, definitely one of the best games in the jam. Lots done with little, and incredibly fun and mindbending to play.

Have to agree with below comment - One of the best games on the Jam for sure. Really good puzzle platformer, so much fun trying to kill the skeletons, it kept me engaged until I finished it, amazing level and puzzle design, great and cute pixel art, really nice take on the theme. Feels like a complete game to me and it's amazing, great job in this short time!

5/5, one of the best I played on this jam! The core mechanic remind me a bit of the last temple of the Zelda Skyward Sword. Great job, congrats!

This game really made my brain work and I liked it! For the span of 48 hours, you manage to put cute Minitaur, good music, and responsive controls. Great work! Keep it up!

Got all the way up to the last level. What can I say, but: wow. It's a clever concept, and it's executed beautifully. The level design is on point, the sound design is excellent, the music is catchy as hell... it's all really good stuff.
