Very impressed!
P.S. on itch.io, turn off their built-in fullscreen, it means there will only be one button to press. also, escape doesn't work to reset for me because of the browser.
I love the sounds :D
They are a bit loud tho, I think you should lower by a little bit.
The puzzles / maps are great, and there's a lot of content.
Overall, a good game.
I love your drawings, too .
I'm curious how did you design levels. I made a puzzle game too, it's not easy to design levels.
PS: N is so close to SPACE XD
Overall very nice, even though soundeffects and graphics could be a little more atmospheric.
great job!
The falling noise is my 5 y/o daughter who grab my headset and recorded various sounds for me. Same with the monster (although that was run thorugh Audacity filters first).
Level design was pretty much:
Think of a level title (not displayed, but it's things like "Crumbling Bridges") and sketch out the rough layout with walls aound that theme, starting with the end position or major puzzle bit (so for the bridges I sketched out the layout with the floor instead and expanded form there).
and I see people discovered my "secret" cheat code: 'N' for Next Level.
Simple concepts, nice mechanics fitting very well the jam's theme. The sounds and graphics are simple, but in a good way, fitting the game as a whole. Really good work.
I could make through all levels (proof below), needing to restart some of them to understand what i have to done and what i done wrong, but they all seems to have a nice difficulty to make them interesting.

Excellent job!
Fun and cleaver game!
The sound effects I think make the game, they really add a funny layer to the gameplay :D
Great puzzling levels
I had only one issue, this Esc to return to the menu... sometimes it means to restart the level and others to return to the menu...
I was very far into the game and accidentaly pressed ESC when I died, I returned to the level 1, it made me quit... I was REALLY enjoying it but this kinda frustrated me :/
Awesome game ^^
I never finished the game, I couldn't figure out how to get my knight in the front on this part:

However I think I have got a good taste of the game in the levels I actually finished.
Pros: I really like the concept, it's the ice puzzles from Pokémon taken to a whole new level since I have to think about all 3 of my party members. It also has some of the fun of those sliding puzzle games, where you know where you want a party member but have to figure out how to get it there. Overall, very fun, and I think the leveld design really shines through, and I didn't think there were too few levels, and all the levels I played had something new to bring. Well done! I also didn't find any bugs or problems!
Cons: However, the graphics and especially audio hold the game back a little for me. I (contrary to many others) think both those areas are very important, so sorry if I am a bit harsh (you were the sole developer though, kudos for making this all on your own!)
The graphics, while simplistic give off a very MsPaint look, but it definately gets the job done. The audio however, while the ambience is nice the dying/killing sound effects are loud, harsh and are clipping.
The puzzles were not too easy but also not too hard. I would love an update with a few very hard levels. @ me if you ever release one. The new hand drawn concept art looks also absolutely beautiful :)
I like the way you used the dnd character archetypes to give them all different powers.
I also found the dying sounds very funny.
i didn't have problems in other games. itch.io is especially great, they support unity games very well. i use them for hosting my games too.
