The Door of Illusions by 2CCs

What lies behind that mysterious door? And how did you even get in this room in the first place?
Is it magic? Is it an illusion? Or are you simply mentally... Unstable?

It is very cool, and I like the music a lot. I am not sure, if I hit the end there, but I couldn't figure out how to continue after I got kicked out of the door several times.
Still, nice mork!
Fitting graphics and sound design, good job!
Keep it up!
The only thing you could improve is to somehow explain the controls in the game as well (so that one doesn't have to read the itch-page). But besides that: really good job!
@misfire-dev Thank you!
@jonas-michael Thanks so much! You might be thinking of This is the Only Level, with the elephant, like @zsharpfire said, ha ha. And the game actually isn't finished there; that's one of the little puzzles ;)
@hadri Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed playing the game!
@zsharpfire I enjoyed playing those games a lot when I was younger, and I can see exactly what you mean, ha ha. Thanks for the feedback!
@tomate-salat Thank you so much for that compliment! And for sure, I'll add in a little tooltip that lists the controls of the game!
Simple, short and fun game, just my type, well done :)
@beep-boop That was a good one, I love fiddling with the useless machine! Thank you!
@lukeoco1234 Thanks, I really appreciate it!
@alex-aspa HA HA! That was a funny one actually, I never thought of it like that! Thanks for your comment!
@diharaw94 Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed the game and music!
@justcamh Thanks for playing the game! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'll definitely be making a blog post with your Twitch linked!
@bak I liked the pun, haha! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
love the minimalism and the humor
I think the graphics are really cute and overall its really well polished \o/ I really liked the doors switching around, that part was good.
Thanks for submitting it for me to try it <3
@peco @steve7411 Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@falawiska I'm glad you appreciated the atmosphere! Thank you!
@outfrost Ha ha, I'm happy to know that this was quite the experience for you! I'll certainly work on some quality of life updates for the game, thanks for the feedback. I'll be adding in a tooltip to show the controls (so you don't have to look at the page), and a sort of pause menu with volume sliders. Thanks for playing the game on stream!
@sarah I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for playing the game on stream! And I'm really glad you noticed that detail of the background changing. Sorry for jump scaring you, HA HA! Looks like the game did its job!
@ashtheevil Thank you for that feedback!
@koalaura @nardandas Ha ha, thank you! It looks like the game did its job with the vibe!
@alexthehuman2 Thanks for that feedback! I'll certainly keep on working on this game and developing it into something more. Thanks for playing it on stream! I liked your energy a lot, it was really fun watching you play these games.
I really tried following the doors this time when they were shuffling and I thought I had it, but I was still wrong every time. One of my suggestions on stream was to make the doors kinda arc when shuffling so it's a little easier to follow when the pass through each other. I realized this time around that though you can knock on those doors to remove any guessing since the wrong doors don't make a sound!
The audio was great especially the dynamic music. The whole atmosphere + gameplay makes me think I'm in a purgatory and doors is my eternal torment haha
this game managed to get 5 star in all except theme because it fit the theme illusion more than unstable.
The only thing It maybe needs is to show knock/open controls ingame so its totally self contained.
And then at the end, well, I'm not sure if I'm at the end? There is just an empty door frame and the music stopped. I guess it's the end or is it another puzzle? Not sure but nothing seems to work :D
On the game, this is sweet! I like that you play with 'troll game' concepts without making something overly punishing, as those games tend to be. I do think the fact that you have two action buttons could probably be cut down - there's so few puzzles where opening are relevant that it could probably be always caused by knocking? Just a thought.
