This is kind of similar to an idea (but didn't use) I had when I was first thinking of ideas (cleaning up after the player of a game). I like your interpretation of it.
I liked the art style, but is there no music? (Or is it just not playing for me for some reason?)
I seem to remember there being something I didn't like my first time playing, I think maybe that there was too much waiting for things or maybe movement seemed to slow, but that didn't seem to be as much of an issue the second time (when I already knew the solution).
I noticed a bug my second time playing: If you press R to reset while holding a block, the block will fall through the floor after resetting.
Another minor issue: The moving platforms look like they should be semi-solid, and they almost are (since you can go through it if you stand under it, although it looks a bit glitchy), but also they aren't (since you can hit them from the side). (Is that hard to do in Unity?)
Overall, I liked the game.
Thank you very much for your comment, I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
I've fixed the bugs you referred to, thanks for pointing them out. They'll be included in a post-jam update, and this version should have sounds that work also.
Honestly, this was one of the bests I have seen sofar. Interesting concept, and great levels. I could play a couple of dozens more challenges.
Idea, implementation, designing, everything is amazing.
Great work!!
Played on stream! See the video for timestamp.
When you put it that way, the roles are indeed reversed.
Nice game, but I think the box placing is a bit repetitive. Maybe you could add more puzzle mechanics?
Nice idea, good game :)
Interesting idea, and very well made and polished!
Overall, I don't have much feedback to give, other than I wish that the puzzles were more difficult; but I definitely respect not wanting to have very difficult puzzles in a jam entry (as we have had a lot of people frustrated for that in our own submissions before lol)
Nice concept and considering the time frame the execution is pretty good as well! Good Job!
Wow, what a nice game, especially considering the time limit! I really like the huge amount of puzzles, and it really feels like all main mechanics are well developed. The art style is minimalistic and polished, my only complaint is that in some levels you can softlock yourself and have to restart, which I found a bit frustrating. Other than that, this is a great entry!
Good amount of puzzles. Well presented. Too bad about the sound but I had fun!
Cool game with solid puzzles. It would be cool if you took more advantage of the reversability of the puzzles since I don't think that was really emphasised or even felt neccessary to the core game, like maybe you first have to solve them backwards then forwards? But there's always going to be leftover ideas after making a game in such a tight time, so you may have already thought of this.
Creative idea but sadly I couldn't finish it due to a bug where boxes phase through platforms. But props for adding a way to skip levels. Overall good job. :D
Nice puzzle game!
A simple puzzle platformer with well designed levels. Good job.
Great game!
A really interesting fresh take on the theme Roles Reversed. I love puzzle games so this speaks to me. Great job!
Very cool game idea! i really liked the art and its a very fun game!!
Fun concept having to 'undo' finished puzzles, and great build-up in puzzle challenges.
Was so interesting to unsolve the puzzle to restore the room, it fits very well with the theme!
