I like how the puzzles are designed overall. The sound/hover effects make solving them pretty engaging and satisfying. The feedback loop of collecting time and keys => accessing more rooms also makes this game more playable.

One possible improvement that stood out to me might be the coherence of the aesthetic design of the scenes and the character. The player seems a bit out of place in the surrounding settings.

I love the overall style of your game so much. In fact, when I first saw the characters, I had been studying what the two straps floating next to the people were. I finally found out that the leg figure was flying in the air. lol The puzzles are also very interesting. If I had to say something about improvements, maybe you could add some door opening sound effects to let users get feedback. Let them know they're using the key. There is also the need to make different doors have different colors, so that the player knows which key corresponds to which door.

The setting and the theme is really well designed and the navigation is very interesting to keep the player moving and having to really use their navigation skills to find the keys.
