I love it, takes me back to my childhood when I would spend hours on Adventures of LoLo for the NES. Fantastic job!

Nice. I managed to get to the end ? I think, but I went to the bed and the game "froze" ?

Nice game. I really like the new take on sokoban. I am not that familiar with those topology concept but the arrow really helped in understanding how it works.

Thanks for the game !

Thanks for playing @zwodahs, Glad you had fun! You're right, I had forgotten to plug in the final screen. Fixed!

This was lots of fun and quite rewarding to play. Was there any audio (or should you not be ranked in that category)?

Very cleanly presented, and some of the advanced topologies are very interesting to think about!

I've probably been spoiled by modern puzzle games; I was constantly wishing for an undo button. I beat it twice without, though, so no complaints!

(I did notice that for Cylinder-3 you can just go through the portal and walk right, which didn't seem to be intended since it ignores most of the puzzle elements?)

Nice ideas. It gave me the incentive to search "Klein bottle" in Wikipedia.

On the last level, I saw the bed. But I also saw a hole, and I thought it would lead to some secret bonus. Well, it just makes you start over at the level 3. I suppose that's the joke about "stuck in a loop".

My kid liked the game too, and terminated some levels.

Awesome, thanks for the helpful comments all! :)

@cyborg-studio there is audio in the desktop version, but it doesn't seem to play with WebGL. I'll look into it! Thanks for letting me know.

@tjm Yes! I really wanted to add an undo button, but didn't have time. Great suggestion. Also, you're right about Cylinder-3, I'll fix it and reupload later.

@recher Thanks, I'm glad your kid liked it too; Klein bottles are crazy! And yes, the hole as a little bit of a joke to trap you in a loop within a loop. Sorry you got tricked :P!

Nice game! An amazing upgrade of Sokoban xD Good job!

A lot of fun! If you add more levels later, it might be nice to have few deeper puzzles that combine challenging sokoban with the different topologies

Excellent use of the screen edge looping mechanic (better than I did). This was really enjoyable; might be worth considering a bigger release?

Great puzzle game! It kind of broke my brain a bit at the beginning, but as I played more and more I began to better understand how to approach the puzzles. Lots of content, tons of fun, nice job!

Really clever! Fits great with the theme and congrats on getting that all coded and designing so many levels in just 48 hours!

Nicely done puzzle. I have played until moebius so far and it plays like a breeze, with lot of "thats how it solved" moments. Distinctive art that helps to understand what objects are, many clever levels - nice work.

Overall fun and intuitive experience, while playing it. I don't know anything about topology, but this didn't seems to be a problem.

Amazing game! I really had a good time - great little puzzler. I'll be sharing the link!

One of the game I've played the most, good job!

Wow what MINDBENDING puzzles! Not like any other game I've played on this jam for sure...

I got stuck at Torus-2, I don't know why, that one broke my brain :)

I love that the menu page is also the intro level. But it left me with the expectation that other levels would be like that as well... I was really hoping for some more story filling the empty blue space in subsequent levels :sweat_smile:

I was really missing some audio, at least some music, I really felt the vacuum :/

Anyway, very clever interpretation of the theme, and VERY clever game in all.

Good job!
