Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.
You're a captive octopus in a dangerous room. You'll have to take advantage of the teleporters to disable traps and try to make your way out. As you progress, the room becomes more dangerous.
UPDATE, December 13th : Fixed some cases of "wall stucking" (updating collision masks, moving some elements by some pixels)

Nice job. Controls could be tighter. It's almost puzzle-y but really more of an action game at this point.
As others pointed out, touching the walls would often prevent me from moving until I moved away from them, but other than that this was a neat little puzzle game. :)
Thanks for your feedback !
Sorry for the wall stucking, I updated the collision masks for the player, walls and lasers, and moved some elements to be pixel perfect.
Now, the majority of them are fixed :)
Make sure to Ctrl+F5 to have the new version, if you've already played it.
I like the gameplay ^^
It makes me think to 'portal' in a certain way.
Good music.
It could be better with more animations and better graphics but good job !
I couldn`t play for some reason, the game site wouldn`t load.
Sorry for the hosting website being offline, I uploaded it on itch.io and added the link.
Controls could be tighter, there are too few levels, and yet I really enjoyed it!
As some people said ... "A couple more levels would be nice".
Getting to the point ... the game is nice .. I like the mechanics of teleportation to unlock places.
One thing I would change is the movement .... it would be better to have a movement from square to square .. not instant but in a fast animation.
Good job!
the music fits perfectly! nice little game! i like the expression of the octopus!
Great idea for the game, but it is a bit hard to see where walls are. But overall well done.
Great Level Design ! And simple mechanic make it quick to be fun ! A little too short, but awesome for a game jam !! Great work !
Sweet little puzzle game! You have a solid base to expand: replace graphs little by little, make some animations and do more levels and you're ready to go :)
Good job!
Nice little game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/YiLAPTz00w0
Works well, with a good initial idea, but it was way too simple. The path to take is always straightforward (although it looked like a puzzle game initially) and it is not really difficult to avoid ennemies.
Otherwise nice audio !
It's quite nice for a jam entry (you shouldn't have abandoned!).
it has potential and I really enjoyed the music.
For my likes it could just be a bit more difficult on the puzzle side.
Thanks for your comments ! I agree that the game is way too simple for now, I'm working on more levels and new game mechanics to add some difficulty. I also have to balance the turrets, and maybe explore other ways for the octopus movements.
@axoona : Well, I abandoned the previous one because I couldn't make anything nice with it, so I still think it's good that I made this game instead. At least it works ^^
I beat it! I was a bit confused what to do but then realized I could just flip some things and walk on through. You could make it more challenging by doing things like having multiple switches that turn different things on or off or multiple portals that go to different places, etc. Basically anything that makes it less straight forward. Keep up the good work!
Nice puzzle game ! There is some bug/glitch, but still a good game

A few more levels would be nice and I frequently got stuck on walls making a bit of a pain when having to move quickly. Other than that a good game :)
