About Mind Weaver

You wake up as a mage, trapped deep within a goblin-infested dungeon. Fortunately, your trusty butterfly companion manages to set you free. Now, it's up to your imagination and your ability to control minds to find your way out!
Get ready for a classic 2D puzzle platformer adventure with a twist—Mind Weaver lets you shift control between different characters. But there’s a catch: you can only manipulate the minds of creatures you can see, so make your decisions wisely. Each level presents its own unique challenges, from puzzle-solving and tricky parkour to dodging aggressive goblins. Along the way, you’ll encounter the quirky merchant who’ll do just about anything for a juicy PAPAYA.
This is a solo project, so while there's no game-saving feature just yet (sorry!), I’m eager to see if others find the game as fun and intriguing as I do. If you are game dev and desire to contribute, please do! The code is open source (you can find it on github).

Mind Weaver successfully delivers a compact, concept-driven mechanical fix by blending traditional 2D puzzle-platforming layouts with a unique, line-of-sight control environment. By tasking players with outsmarting goblin patrol cones and executing precise localized parkour maneuvers, the experience avoids over-engineered narrative fat in favor of immediate spatial engagement. Spending exactly 25 minutes inside the client is more than enough to fully comprehend the core line-of-sight loop, master the physics-based evasion blocks, and experience the tight level progression without running into tedious padding.On the technical side, an analysis of the community log reveals highly appreciative user metrics, highlighting the game's responsive controls and satisfying puzzle density for a completely free indie deployment. The foundational asset framework operates with complete stability, prioritizing a focused, linear pixel-art layout over hardware-heavy performance demands. It functions as a highly respectful micro-experience that does not compromise your active Steam showcase with broken or endless achievement filler, executing its conceptual design flaws-free. Do not skip this strateg…

Mind Weaver is a clever little puzzle platformer that caught my attention because of its unusual mind control mechanic. I play as a mage trapped inside a goblin filled dungeon, and the main twist is that I can take control of other creatures as long as I can actually see them. I really liked this idea because it turns ordinary platforming into something that requires me to think about the position of every character around me. The line of sight system is the heart of the game. I cannot simply control any creature whenever I want. I have to make sure the target is visible, which means I often need to move myself into the right position before I can manipulate someone else. I enjoyed this because it makes the environment part of the puzzle rather than just something I walk through. The platforming also adds another layer. Some sections require careful jumping and movement while I am thinking about which creature I should control next. I liked the combination because the puzzles do not exist separately from the platforming. A good solution often requires me to understand both what I need to do and where I need to stand to make it possible. The goblins and dungeon setting give the a…
