This game has a relaxing and stressful feeling at the same time that's very hard to describe, love it. Also, why did you opted out of the Music category? The sfx for the stone and mining is super good
This game is simple yet strangely addictive. I think it's a mix of the effects, increment and sounds. Very rewarding. By the way, both our games have the same vibe gameplay somehow :)
Very original! would love it to have a mouse trap and not needing to hold to move. It reminds me of an old web prank where you had to solve a labyrith like this and then the girl from The Exorcist would suddenly pop on the screen
Deck of many things + Health insurance is the perfect combo to get infinite money 😁 Are you planning on working on it after the jam? The isometric rendering and auto-battler engine are super good fundations. By the way, I have no way of giving you a rating, dunno if that's intended?
Wow!! I don't want to think about how hard coding the rope mechanic has been. Is it a chain of fixed joints with physics? If so, changing them to pulley joints with a veeeery low elasticity would enable new tricks, like using it as a whip to pull yourself slightly up. Great entry, graphics, game... thanks!
I'm sure the collision with tilted walls with sliding was one of the complicated parts. If you ever want to add line of vision, this is my go-to tutorial everytime I have to: https://www.redblobgames.com/articles/visibility/
I don't know how I could play for so long! Congrats!! I don't think I've ever seen that inventory-packing mechanic, with the closest being Factorio's modular armor. When it gets a bit complicated, it'd be great to be able to temporarily have invalid inventories for the time you're swapping.
It's a good idea, having to work out the angular velocity instead of the typical throttle game. I think it could very much benefit from having keyboard controls, most of my crashes were because of missclicking. Also, the non-permanent upgrades like the steering wheel make collecting stuff rather than moving towards the end a bit unrewarding. But with some balancing it's up for a really great and original game!!
Solved the entire thing! Very fun twist on normal Sokoban. Also, I stayed sometime going over your vanilla-JS approach, it's very elegant. An interesting idea I thought of while playing: walls that act as wrapping the screen, so that if one row is 4 tiles and the other is 5, you can push it across the entire screen 2-3 times to unsync their relative position
Pretty fun and frustating at once! The implicit tutorial was pretty smooth, only think I missed was a "Space to jump" kind of message, I was assuming it's pressing UP (or there's no jumping) and got stuck there for some time. Might be that I'm too dumb tho, great game!
The graphic and maps style is SO unique! As others said, the embed is not working well, but the web version on itch.io does. If anything, I'd make the elements more puzzle-like, but I agree that even this scope is already a bit crazy for a jam, great work!

Pretty neat! I think our train of thought for this jam was incredibly similar :)

I installed Wine on my mac just to test it, and because I thought it was like Geometry Wars. Love the title! And the graphics are 🔝🔝

Love the FLAP FLAP FLAP while running, very unique experience. If this doesn't win humor, there's something wrong with this jam!

The graphic style is pretty original, why did you opt out to the score?
I think the score going up as you jump more is a bit counter-intuitive: ideally you'd want to go up as fast as possible? Thanks for the submission!

When trying to play it I get this message on itch.io (the embed one doesn't work for me) {7DA6E0F2-B5E7-46FB-9B5E-F2248CC0FDFB}.png

Somehow it doesn't let me rate the game :/ But it's nice! Reminds me of Super Hexagon

Really cool concept! At first I was a bit puzzled about the mirroring images, but then I could get it with a manual DFS hehe
Would love to see more of it! Stuff like being able to push the stone would open so many more combinations

Just played it fully, love the ambientation, dialogs, overall vibes... reminds me of the old days of point and click with hidden features
