This was really good! Very feature filled for a jam and had some great puzzle design. My only criticisms are that the square block got stuck a few times on the last level for me, maybe shrink the hurtbox a tad or give some leeway, and I think it needs a bit of polish in the visual/sound department. Those are just nitpicks though, I really think you knocked it out of the park with this. Great job!

I liked a lot the game! 15 minutes of gameplay (or more) are a lot for a 4 days gamejam. Although I got stucked in this puzzle, I'm locked in this room, so I assume is there a solution XD

I tried to post a photo, but I can't. But liked the level design!

The looping through the same level mechanic was used by lots of game jammers but not in this way :D

Enjoyed the level design here although I find it frustrating where I get locked into one of the rooms with no restart button. It felt like I've lost all the progress I got :(

Still it's a neat concept and would be cool to be developed even more in the future

Sorry about that, I added a reset button by pressing "r" near the end of development and forgot to add it to the controls menu

Best implementation of looping back on the same level idea that I have played so far. Adding a timer in a puzzle game doesn't usually work and yet I think in your games case, it allows backtracking through the same area feel less repetitive and stay compelling as you go back through. Great pacing, and multipurpose level design. Superb!

The game is truly beautiful and creative. I can see a lot of potential in it. The voice acting and art style are also amazing!

This is a surprisingly in depth puzzle platformer, the level layouts are really clever, and the way the same levels continue to evolve based through each loop as the player gets more and more capable. I love the voice acting, it's a great way to tutorialize systems  without forcing the player to read copious amounts of text. If I did have one critique however, it's that the one way doors can sometimes be a bit too punishing. I had instances where I went through one door, went into the following room, and realized that I actually wanted to be in the other entrance, and had to wait a whole loop to do so. Other than that though this is some very good work, great job!

10/10 voice acting

This really deserves more attention! I love how you added some voice acting too and the art has a very nice style. Besides 1-2, the puzzels were very straightforward and some rooms felt kind of pointless but it was very engaging regardless.
