The Map Has a Hero
2023 GMTK Game Jam
Overview
This game is a little weird Sokoban RPG. However, instead of controlling the avatar to push the box, players actually control the map and move the walls to push different kinds of stuff on the map. In that case, the roles of an RPG Hero and a map are reversed. It's not the Hero that tries to save the world, but the world on the map itself tries to save the Hero.
Controls
Move: W, A, S, D
Z: Undo
R: Restart

Fun! But, I think I found a bug - Sometimes the game will lag for a bit and, if you move during said lag, stuff can go through walls.
Incredibly fun
I enjoy this game
Really clever idea!
Fantastic game, please, please, keep working on it.
Amazing
一直以为操作是反方向，原来是地图在动。对我来说有点考验手脑合一。比较喜欢的是R键可以重置每一个关卡。Z键可以返回上一步。玩家不会因为错了一步导致关卡重头开始。音乐的节奏快慢也恰到好处。
this is VERY good, reminds me of baba is you a lot, the game design is solid, i want more levels
The map design can be more interesting and resonable, like introducing rotation, maps move limitation, maps' restructure elements. (The map is a SUPER hero without some limitations)
Puzzles, mechanics are no doubtlessly innovative!
Nice! I don't think I've played a game with this premise before, I can easily see this being a full-fledged head-scratcher type game with increasingly complex puzzles adopting the same formula :)
The only issue I had was I wish I could just long press the directions to take more than one step
