How does the game fit the theme?
DoorJam fits “Strange Places” by taking an ordinary task (building doors) and making you do it in locations that would be unreasonable by most door-builder standards. Every area is a fragmented door puzzle, and assembling a door transports you to a new, even stranger place with environment-driven piece behaviour. I’ve said “door” 6 times, which means you are now certified to start building your first one!

Good and relaxing game, well done!
Pretty fun and relaxing to play, I finished it without realizing !
Played to the end and had a good time. Simple and fun jigsaw puzzle game with a twist, nice work! I usually quite despise jigsaw puzzle games as they are usually quite boring (there are some exceptions, but not too many), but I think your game is quite fun to play! For a starter, the puzzle is not that large, only 2x4 for a door, which makes the pacing really well. Each twist also feels noticeable enough to make each level feel not repetitive. The pixel art is also extremely well drawn and fits the game nicely. Overall, I quite enjoyed the game, and it's quite well done indeed!

At first I thought the game is far more intense than it is - if a puzzle pieace goes out of bounds, you lose lol.. What a fun little game! I enjoyed it a lot - the art style was cool, and everything worked smoothly.
If I have to nitpick - the darkness level was a bit too much, with the door looking weird and the constant blackness. Also in the snow level there was a bottom piece that seem to be but was considered wrong.
Fantastic job!
Congratulations on your game. Very casual, relaxing, and enjoyable. I had fun playing it. Congratulations.
Pretty fun! Well done!
Cool puzzle game! The moving pieces added a nice level of difficulty that I found enjoyable. Nice job!
Great thumbnails! They’re what made me click in the first place. I had a lot of fun & I especially loved how the gameplay evolved across the different levels.
The cozy music made it really pleasant to watch!
Great game! I really liked how easy it was to understand what to do and how the difficulty progressively increased!!
Cute little puzzle game!
It was actually entertaining. In the space themed level the tiles can bug out if you click at the wrong moment, and you have to click like crazy to make it work again
Interesting idea. Some polish would be great. When tiles float behind the door is a bit frustrating, and a tile switch would be great when the player wants to place a tile where there is already one.
Super cute! Love the music! The spooky level got me good.
Fun game, and very easy to pick up! There’s nothing wrong with the game that I could point out. Between the style and the mechanics, it just works!
Very cute! I loved it! The forest door was a bit frustrating but I think thats the fun part of the game!
I love how you can really fly by in these levels. Except for that last one! Oh my gosh it was so hard to complete with it blacking out! The jump in difficulty was a bit much - I think it might've worked better if periodically tiles go out, not all of them at once. Otherwise this was a really cute and fun experience!
Really liked the game! A really good spin on a puzzle game. The diffciulty scales nicely. Had a bit of a problem with the forst one, but i think it's just a skill isue haha. Overall a really solid entry. Good job!
I loved it! It is incredibly polished, the art style and music are on point. I also played it twice since the black hole level was bugged for me the first time (but this attests that I liked it a lot!) Keep up the good work!
Amazing art! Good job Ninja Cactus, that cover image is fantastic
