I really really enjoyed playing this game. The concept here is brilliant, and I would love to see a full development of this game. Playing this game is very soothing.

Sad that there are no music or sound. That was how it was for me at least. But that is ok.
This game was actually a nice, quicky small puzzles.

This is a neat idea that I've never seen before. Loved the "ohhhh" moment in level 2 when I grokked the point of the mechanic.

I really like the conecpt and while I am usually not a big fan of puzzle games, I enjoyed playing this one. I noticed that sometimes, the corners did not really react well (they did not follow the cursor), but it was only mildly annoying :)

Very interesting, however I feel that the Mouse & Keyboard controls are a little disjointed and create gameplay still feels a little clunky, but I absolutely see why you've done with that design.

Best of luck!

I love the game play idea, but no audio ;/. Well u got sound. And the game itself is cool.

Nice concept! Controls might get a bit frustrating but the overall sensation is good!!

Nice to see a new and interesting mechanic! If you continue on this project I would suggest to add controls for moving a shape with the mouse, without resizing it step by step which got a bit tedious :)

This is a really cool game! I like the idea, and it definitely makes me wonder what happens if three portals are in range? anyway, great work!

@Blobo If three portals are in range, priority goes to the two that were first in range, and the third one remains active for pairing but not connected to anything.

I love this game, the mechanic is really interesting. I wish there was more levels to chew on but it's a jam after all. The resizing of the shapeshifting region sometimes felt a little clunky but overall the game feels pretty nice. There's potential for an amazing postjam game!
