Reminds me of Portal :)

that was really good. the animations and level transitions were really good looking, especially for acompo entry. the puzzles definately got hard pretty quick (atleast for me, i hope :P).
my only complaint is when the black and clear cube are introduced (i think it was the third room?) i feel like i cheesed it to solve it, i triggered the pad, got off, warped to the light one past the field that flips up, and then warped to the black cube before it could finish transitioning. im not sure how you were SUPPOSED to solve it. thats all

Great little game in a familiar style :D

@Blockers that's actually the intended solution, you can even see that animations are a bit delayed in that level.

Easily the best game I've played so far!
Very portal-esque, and a very cool mechanic!

Wow, I love your approach to the theme. The effect when the level changes is awesome.

The game is good, but the puzzle with dark cube and light cube is stupidly frustrating, the time window is so small, you can barely do that. I think it should be remade. Or at least have some hint on doing it that way.

Loved the transitions and animations. Some more sounds would have really set the mood better and kept the times in which I had to figure something out a bit more engaging.

The animations (especially level transitions) are incredibly polished. I found myself getting stuck rather quickly since the game didn't give me too much direction as to how to solve the puzzles. Great job.

The puzzles are fun and satisfying to solve. The level transition effect is really neat to watch. I love the portal gun effect!

lovely visuals, especially the transition animations look just beautiful! :) the game itself looks solid and imo one of the most fun entries so far, even though it's heavily based on portal. great job!

Like Portal, but in isometric view. I have to commend the game: fun to play, pretty inovations and good look help this game to be one of the best within Ludum Dare 31. Please check my game too: Presidents bodyguard simulator.

Fantastic art style and some nice puzzling. The difficulty curve is maybe a bit too steep at the beginning but that might just me me :P

This is so cool! It feels really polished, which is impressive for the time limit. I got completely stuck on the level where the crate keeps appearing and disappearing in the bottom section, but until then, really good! :)

Great demake of Portal, really hard as well (but I'm terrible at puzzle games).

Great puzzle game, and I love the way the tiles flip to rearrange the room, it really adds a lot! Would have loved to see some more work on the audio, to really sell the creepy Portal vibe.

Loved the concept of the single, transforming environment. The animation were great, and the teleport gun was fun to use. Great game.

Feels really good to read all these comments, I was thinking about making another version with more levels.

@AtiknsSJ Spoiler: In that level you have to jump into the hole and then teleport to the crate. You'll get across the hole, the crate will fall and you will get a new one on the same side as you.

Hi there. Excellent job creating so much content, really nice level design, integrated tutorial etc. Bookmarked for a relook - got to third level after warping device - one with loads of empty space except lower left.

I wasn't expecting the warping mechanic, even with all of the portal references. The puzzles are interesting. They get hard pretty quick though, and some of the solutions felt a bit like cheats.

This reminds me of Portal, but with warp mechanism.
I guess the title will be Warp :D.

A very good game. Some puzzles took me some time to figure out. Had to think about what is possible with these mechanics. I can tell that I enjoyed your game quite a lot.

Quite strange puzzles, at first they felt very linear but then they got a bit more confusing. Your fourth image looks like the stage I got stuck on, just a tiny bit crazier! Great work on the visuals, it feels really nice!

Super cool tileset! Loved the mechanics and how the level shuffles onto place.. The later levels got too tricky for me, i think the onboarding to the new mechanics can use more love :)

Was having a blast... But didn't understand what did the white crates do :/ so I had to leave. If you'd make its function more proper in the level design, it would be awesome.

Besides that, I really enjoyed it, thanks for sharing the source :)

Excellent! The animation, graphics, and sounds all work together very well. The Portal inspiration is clear, yet you created an entirely new game with interesting puzzles! Congratulations, very well done!
If I had to change one thing, it would be to slow down that level that requires crazy-fast mouse movement and precision.

Incredibly polished, the level design is great, too bad I got stuck (level 4 or 5), I'll try again later.
