- E to open/close Steps Menu
- Space to start execution of steps
- R to forcefully restart level if something glitchedout (while in the Steps Menu)
- F to fullscreen on WebGL [browser version]
- P to pause (ESC as well but you dont wanna use that in WebGL)
- Anything else is basically mouse controlled | To preview the angle you click on the said step, it can get a bit buggy though so you have to again click after changing the values, its not exactly live

Honestly Im extremely proud of this game, its been a hell of a ride
I hope its understandable enough through the ingame "Storyboard/Dialog tutorial", if not; please say so in the comments here on itch.
This is basically the 4th game I ever worked on. There are some unfinished mechanics hidden in either pieces of code or in my head (the mirrors are one of these that work at the very basic state) and more level ideas, I will definitely want to update this game after a break.
Its great I could finally participate in a gamejam since I finished highschool and have a lot of freetime, but making this kind of game in just 8.5 days was brutal ong

Worked completely solo, been 1 day late to the party since I forgor💀  | Music made by my 14 year old cousin!
Font used for logo: Cubic | For Menu's: Techno Hideo | For Storyboards and Stepmenu: Robot's Revenge
Sounds from freesound.org | Modified by me
Used Sirenix Odin Inspector[paid tool] for workflow improvements, EasySave3 for saving | some free shaders and besides that I dont think any other outside assets were used, Ill update the list if any found
I cant do math and do not understand what the hell are quaternions so I guess ChatGPT kind of did help me a lot🤓 even with his hallucinating; it was hard to explain to him properly without visualization

If you can support me in any way then idk promote me, maybe buy my services on Fiverr; I can either make your game look and feel better and more satisfying or make you a game based on your ideas
I also do have a game on Steam called SSS222 or a simple BuyMeACoffee would help a lot ^^
