This is pretty confusing, to be honest... I never really feel like I understand what's going on or how to control the guy. At times I think I know what each key is doing but then I press one of them again and it seems to do something completely random it didn't do before...
As zedutchgandalf said, it's very confusing. Assuming that's the idea though :P
It's confusing, it'll be great to give some tips and consistency on how the controls affect the movement.
Found this game to be sort of confusing, but it looks pretty interesting. I featured it in my video compilation of Ludum Dare 27 games, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/J-5j5_FYNQI
It is quite confusing, I admit. The rules for the first pack of levels are : Q and O are opposite and they move the player diagonally (Q to the bottom-right, and O to the top-left). W and P move the player like in a mirror (for example if you stand on a tile which is the second from the right, by pressing P you move to the second from the left). Since W and P are designed as opposites they essentially do the same thing. Of course you will not be moved if you pressed a button that leads you to a block (the circles). The second pack has slightly different rules. One more thing : when going through the edges of the board, understanding where you go is quite simple - think about where you should have appeared if there was one more row or column, this is where you are going to appear just from the opposite wall. I hope this makes it a bit clearer (though English is not my native language).
Good potential for puzzles, but it'd be nicer if controls are intuitive.
The idea is great, however packs are not long enough...
Just when you start to get it , the pack is over :(
Yeah it's pretty clever.
Where the eff did you get that wizard sprite? Cause I think I know exactly where it came from. Do you have an account on the GMG?
Actually I created all the assets (tiles, background, player,etc..) by myself using Paint.Net. I don't know what GMG is.
Good game, good job!
