oh man i really like your game! its got such a nice aesthetic! and i like these kinda puzzles a lot! it took a level or two to get used to the controls but thats mostly bc i use autodesk maya so my brain kept wanting to use the middle mouse to drag the camera haha the boxes you have to move feel a bit too sensitive which can feel a little tricky but since you make them click into places it's not a major complaint. your puzzles are rly fun and give a good challenge :)

I love the 80s aesthetic vibe, both the music and the visuals, even with the added grainy visual effects. The puzzles are also pretty clever, although moving the blocks can get awkward depending on the camera angle, maybe having it moved based on dragging the mouse's x or y coordinate would work.

Also, I think there needs to be a separate input between moving your statue and moving the camera.

Impressive amount of work on such little time!

Fantastic music and an interesting graphics style really sets the mood for this game. The puzzles are clever and I like that they slowly introduce extra mechanics over the course of the levels available here; very good design. The controls are a little fiddly, however, and I'm not sure how well it fits the theme of LD40. Despite this, the game has potential to be expanded, and I really liked the exploratory nature of the game. Reminded me of Monument Valley.

Neat puzzler! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXJ9_qM1iLA
