No Turning Back by tgrehawi

[raw]
made by tgrehawi for LD35 (COMPO)
A strange temple of shifting stone... can you find the way?

My very short, very simple, "puzzle" game for compo. I had a lot of trouble coming up with ideas fo the theme (better luck next time), but in the end I'm pretty happy with what I have. Enjoy!

Controls:
Move: WASD
Camera: Q and E

Your game caught my attention yesterday. So I kept it for later. And today it was a pleasure to play it! Well executed, kinda original, different interpretation than the classic shape shift! I had fun! Good job!

Very well executed game!

Simple game but effectively done.. nice polish!
Would have loved more levels! It was so much fun solving the puzzles. :)

Really interesting look into player conveyance;
And it looks really pretty!

The player sometimes feels a little slow, the themeing is great and the name made me go "aaaah!" when I saw it again at the end.

It's so satisfying watching everything move, very chunky :)

Humor?
Such a polished game! Why don't you have more comments here? I love it, it looks, plays and sounds awesome. It's a bit short but the levels are great and there's only 48 hours anyway.

I really liked this game. Some of the bigger levels had me wishing it had mouse support (like maybe it could highlight the ground you're selecting and when you click, he starts walking there, and maybe use the right button to pan, and the wheel to zoom [within locked bounds]). -- Overall though, I thought this was awesome. Nice work, man!

Oh, by the way, was there another way to exit, besides ALT + F4 at the end? -- I couldn't figure it out, but ALT+F4 worked for me.

Congrats, a well done entry! I gave it a high rating.

By the way, you do not need to add the *.pdb files when packing the game for Windows.

Really enjoyed this one. The graphics were simple and elegant, the sounds minimalist yet informative, and the puzzles left you feeling clever. Well done.

Very good idea, well executed! My team and I came up with something like this while brainstorming initially, but we ended up going for something else.

Awesome animations. The sound really added to it as well.

Well polished puzzle game! The puzzle design is neat!

I really like the art direction and mood, but the theme was a little lacking. The puzzles weren't particularly challenging, but they all showed off the mechanics you created.
I enjoyed the Monument valley style camera and world.
I tried playing on the controller, which worked but didn't let me rotate the world. This didn't really impact gameplay though.

I hope you continue to work on this game, and I'm eager to play more.

I thought the moving platforms was a nice enough mechanic on its own, so when the colour switches came into play it was just awesome!
Loved the feel of it, though sometimes wished the character could move faster.
I think this could be made into a really nice full length game. The playable levels are fun, but quite simple - I'd like to play some levels where it's possible to make a mistake that requires a restart, or were taxing enough that you could get stuck for a while.
