Pencil can change the color displayed on little TV.
Cross blocks the little TV.
Both pencil and block only work when they can be seen!
Reach green circle to next level. The game is really confusing, I'm so sorry about that. I didn't have enough time to put up a decent tutorial in it. This is more of a demo for features than an actual game. Here is my presentation on how exactly the game mechanism works. I hope it helps.
The video contains the whole walkthrough for the game. So if you want to try the game yourself first, don't watch it just yet.
Took me a little bit to understand what's going on but afterwards I thought it was a cool idea. I wish there was more. Nice work! The transition effect was really cool.
Very interesting puzzle game. I really liked that you could see the next layer on the existing TV. If there was more time I would add some basic audio for getting the pencil at least so you know that it does something. Otherwise great game.
This concept is really cool! It reminds me of the Sokoban game that the box you're pushing is the world itself. Very nice use of the theme loop! Good job!
Interesting idea! I like the idea of the game, It also fits the theme very well. But i have my complaints. 1.There isn't audio which makes the game boring 2.There should be an introduction/tutorial instead of an text file 3.The victory screen isn't really "Impactful" 4.The Grid was freaking out.
Nice entry! A bit confusing indeed but in a good way. The challenge was pretty well-balanced even for a 'proof of concept'. The zoom effect was very cool. The game is a bit "dry" but it works and is interesting well done !
Was scared after reading the description but the game turned out to be easy to wrap my head around. Nice Job. Though The Transitions Were Trippy and I Kinda Got Motion Sickness But Other Than That Really Fun.
very cool mechanic, it was challenging to beat some of the levels. A tutorial might have improved it, something as simple as text that says "press space to zoom in on next layer" on the first level.
My only real confusion with the game was that I never felt like I truly understood how the color change tool worked. It also took me a moment to realize that there were more than two screens available to the player to use.
This game has some very neat puzzle concepts behind it, and I can definitely see some potential in expanding on what's here. I know it's been stated before, but the screen transition animation is also very well done.
All in all, I don't have too much to say on this. I really appreciate how unique your take was on the jam, and it's executed fairly well in practice. Great work!

I guess "Victory!" is the end?
Sound would be the next big step.
1.There isn't audio which makes the game boring
2.There should be an introduction/tutorial instead of an text file
3.The victory screen isn't really "Impactful"
4.The Grid was freaking out.
Overall, Pretty fitting and intetresing idea!
