You run around, running into keys to pick them up, and then corresponding colored Keyholes. Stepping into a portal will "Teleport" you to a different level, by moving the previous levels components along with extras if needed. If a Saw Blade hits you, you go back to the spawn of the current level you are on. It is the same with the fire traps as well, while they are fully on. The goal is to navigate through the maze, find the last room with chests in it, and touch one to Win!
This was my first Ludum dare, and I know that there are many little things that I could fix and add, including better level design, but I had issues with time, since I've never done this much in 48 hours. Feel free to criticize me, I really do want feed back as to how I can improve.
Edit: I did manage to beat it in around 20 minutes, although I do know where secrets are and used them to complete it, so I think in fairness Ill give a few hints. #1 Don't always use a key you just got, it might be better used elsewhere. #2 It is possible to get stuck so watch out(ie don't use the purple teleporter without an orange key). And #3 Keep track of what keys you have just to make life easier.
A lot of people went with this tile-rearranging theme, and I really like it! This game gave me a lot of chips challenge nostalgia, and that is definitely a good thing.
That idea was great (but also a bit confusing to me)!
I don't know anything about Java but I was able to just run the .jar-file.
I really liked it. The graphics looked good, it was actually just a small maze game but those floating walls/keys where way to complicated to me. I wasn't able to beat it just now but when I get back home I'll definitely try it again.
Ok, after a little reflection I had today, I don't know if it is beatable at the current time. The last time I did beat it was before I added alot of the blades in the levels. I will play it and attempt to beat it again, and if I can't then I will fix it.

I like the way you transition the level and move stuff around, but it could go a little faster, right now it takes too long between teleports. The gameplay is fun but it's possible to get stuck which kinda sucks

Had problems with starting the game but managed to work!
Pretty good for your first Ludum Dare.
