So this is my entry for my second LD compo. Plain Java, no external libraries.
Am I satisfied? Yes and no. I felt that my idea was so good, but I just didn't have time to completely finish it. It's really short and buggy.
You are with Medusa from the greek mythology solving puzzles.

Excellent mechanic! You've got a good bunch of levels in here too. Very good work and excellent use of the theme.

This game has some good puzzles in it, and it is quite good for being made from scratch.

This is a great entry, good work! I'm not normally a fan of puzzle platformers but I genuinely enjoyed my time with this one.

The sprites were well drawn and the animations smooth and enjoyable. The tileset background looked a little rough in parts though.

I'm impressed with the variety of ways you managed to demonstrate the main mechanic. Overall, an innovative idea with a lot of potential, I think if you were to expand on it and polish it up a bit you could have a great little game on your hands.

Thank you everyone for your nice comments! Makes me feel awesome! :D
I'll make the game in my own engine made in C++. I'll put an update out about is.

Very innovative mechanic. Good and polished. The background music is also well build and does not get boring.

Great mechanics!
I finished the game entirely.
It could be more polished(sometimes you have the feeling you need a little luck) but aside from that the puzzles where well-crated.
Good job!

This is great! The puzzles were awesome, it plays super smoothly. Also no external libraries is badass. Awesome work.
