Such a great entry! The transition between 3D world into a 2D world reminds me of Super Mario Odyssey! But in the later on levels, I didn't quite get why I couldn't start with my 2D character tho. The graphics is amazing! the little mice has a lot of character. Good job!

Dude I LOVE THIS IDEA and the execution is great! I love the art style as well, the mouse is so cute. I think if I were to make this, I'd make the shadows react from the mouse default input controls, but then you have problem of constant moving shadows... Either way, this was a great entry and I enjoyed it a lot! A very pleasant surprise!

OMG, I absolutely love this game!!! I really, really like the music and art and everything!!The conversion from 3D to 2D is really interesting, it’s a relaxing game! Could you please tell me what the BGM on the starting screen is?

very charming game. The switching from 2D to 3D and vice versa was very well done and with the shadows being the jumping puzzle I thought was very well put together. The whole game seems very polished considering its a game jam game. I think if you put level numbering and just make jumping puzzle solutions you are basically at a full game. Congrats on the work you have all done.

the music seemed alittle out of place for a dark and moody game like this. the music was fun and good though.

Dude,I love the idea so much,its really a limited space,like use the relationship of shadow and light,it become special to do the puzzle-solving.We also want to make a space which limited use light,but we fail.

Maybe when you move the aperture, you can spell out a symbol from the light outside the screen, and then that symbol represents a prop like a ladder or a trampoline, and then move the prop outside the screen into the aperture, and then interact.

I love the idea that the player may use both mouse and keyboard simultaneously to solve the puzzle. The game is delicately crafted, and the levels are definitely well-designed. I think it could bring more fun if turning 'white' could be a part of the solution rather than a barrier.

Cool game, I definitely enjoyed the mechanics, art and music. The game is calm, and invites you to take your time, and that's really nice. I must admit that the puzzles got a bit hard for me after a moment but I admit I very bad at them. Anyways, very creative way to use the theme. Well done.

Super clever mechanic! It must have been hard to implement it and it seems robust, it didn't bug out at all during my playthrough. The art, music and overall atmosphere are great too!

Really like this!! The mechanics fits so well with the theme, also with perfect cute art style. The physics went so smoothly:))

Rad game, awesome music, SUPER innovative take on the theme; awesome job! I wish the white mousy got more playtime though. The level right before the last was really cool with the dynamic spot movement BUT GAHDAMN THAT LAST LEVEL WAS SUCH A TWIST!!

Super cute mouse! Switching between 3d and 2d for a platformer was a great idea! Good work!

2023-10-04 04:23

Love this idea so much! A perfect combination of 2D and 3D worlds. But I feel like the feedback is a bit lacking, it would be better if it could have sounds when jumping and reaching its destination.

xcarl 2023-10-04 04:25

Cool idea for the theme! I think moving the light with only one of the mouse buttons would have been better. Very good level design and art!

Cute game! Love the art style, and the music. The concept is also amazing,fit the theme perfectly! Nice job!

I love love love this game! The art is so gorgeous and the mechanics are absolutely phenomenal!

Fantastic art and creative gameplay! Luv it!

Very inventive puzzle system! It reminds me of some many different games and mechanics: Zelda Between the Worlds, Contrast, a bit of Walk in the Dark, we have a platformer merged with puzzle elements - and it all works together so well to create a beautiful game!

I love the visuals and the animation of the mouse jumping is so fun, it looks like a little crow. The difference between the two mouse models is great, I like the stark contrast.

The game itself is difficult enough, not too easy, interesting to play :) And you incorporated the limited space idea perfectly.

I think it could go on steam as a great game ppl would pay to play, maybe add a little story to it and go ^^
