Quite fun to play with, the gameplay is innovative under this theme! Do came across some bugs tho, for example the inputs are disabled after I return to the main menu. Good work!

That's a really cool idea ! Unfortunately, can't play for very long as using a non qwerty keyboard with this kind of gameplay/control scheme is really hard ! Going in the tutorial does not provide a clear way to go back to the menu (with some digging around i found out you could press the esc key to bring up the in game menu)

I really like the idea here and congrats on submitting a game! I had a hard time getting the controls working for me and unfortunately the tutorial was very difficult to understand :) Overall though, LDJAM is hard and you submitted a game so well done!

Sorry about the tutorial. Didn't have time to make one and had to rush a sloppy image. Appreciate the feedback though.

Congrats on your first participation in a jam ^^ With such a neat concept too :D

Putting the bugs aside this game is a little wonky but the potential is great. There are a few things in the design that I would personally change, for example not letting the player "ball" scroll with the screen and instead stay in that position of the maze to avoid letting every vertical hole become a resting ground.

I hope the rest of your jam experience will be a great one ^^

Cool idea. It could definitely use other elements, but I think the core mechanic is pretty fun. It did get easy once I stopped mixing up the ball movement from the tile controls.

At first this game is hard to control, but i would say that is happening because of lack of proper tutorial, but as soon as you got used to control you have to get used to controling player and labyrinth at one time, but then the game is starting to be interesting, if you had more time, this game could be very good.

Yo, this is sick. Even though the tutorial was a puzzle by itself, once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun. I kinda wished the ball didn't move with the screen tho, so I could comfortably leave the ball in horizontal spaces too while changing the maze. This is a great entry, good job! (and also, congrats on your first game jam!)

The game was very original! Maybe going down a little faster would have been more exciting, but I loved the concept. Great job!

I think I keep running into a bug where I stopped being able to control the red box. Pretty neat concept though! I think you should take this further!
