Negative
· It is hard to see the height that is and is not reachable by jumping, and we felt stress during play

Work Introdution
A puzzle action game where the goal is to escape from a mysterious electronic space projected in the two viewpoints of 3D and 2D.
In the 3D space, the player moves blocks around to make a scaffold, then in the 2D space, the player climbs the scaffold and aims to reach the escape exit capsule.
The point of the game strategy is to move the blocks with awareness of the perspective in 3D space so that they form an appropriate scaffold in 2D space. If you move the block forward in 3D space, it will be projected larger in 2D space.
Sometimes, it is also important to switch the viewpoint of the camera, look all around the stage, and search for another strategy route.
It is a highly original game requiring the ability to understand the stage from both viewpoints while alternating between the two spaces.
