Has the quality I love in the very best puzzle games where the core concept is so simple that its hard to imagine how it could be expanded, but then the puzzles wow you with their eventual depth. Great polish, aesthetic, and feel. Great level design: there were a number of great levels where they looked overwhelming at first but became simpler after feeling out the main idea. Got really stuck on the olympic rings one.
I love this. I could play this for HOURS.
A super well-made game, nicely fitting the theme. Awesome!
Very polished, though the music becomes a bit annoying after a while !
Some hair pulling puzzles in there =)
Great work, a really polished puzzle game with a tonne of levels. Fits the theme very well too!
One minor UX tweak would be that when you succeed in a level to show a “next level” pop up (something more obvious and with a bit more juice than just the green button) and prevent further inputs, otherwise its easy to think you haven’t finished yet.
Blown away by this one. Awesome job.
There’s a ton of tiny touches that make interacting with the game feel nice:
I did not finish the entire game because these kinds of puzzle games are not my cup of tea. But that’s not a criticism towards this game; its execution is nearly impeccable! My biggest issue is probably the background music, which was nice at first but got annoying after a while.
In general, the level of polish at display here is amazing. Good work!
This is incredible, polished look, clever mechanic, very good design - just brilliant
The nicest UI and most responsive feeling game in the jam. Bravo!
Wow, this is amazing! A really good puzzle game that uses the theme in a really cool way.
insaaaaaaaaaaane
Amazing puzzle game, really impressive! Perfectly on theme, great music, a very unique mechanic, looks really polished and has a good amount of levels too. I’m currently stuck on Tricycle 2 but will definitely come back to finish it. It’s definitely a skill issue on my part, but just so you know I did solve many levels by trial and error. But I can see that’s not gonna fly anymore in the later levels, I’ll have to figure out an actual plan. Might need to practice the earlier levels again actually.
Really awesome work, this definitely has potential if you want to turn it into a larger project / release it on Steam!
I love this! Very clever use of phase as a puzzle mechanic. Quite a few head scratchers in there.
Fanstastic
A fantastic puzzle game, this was really fun! By far, this is one of the most polished submissions yet!
If you would have told me that this was just a puzzle game that came out, I would have had no idea it came from a jam. It’s so clean and polished and well put together. The look and feel of the puzzles and the satisfying audio is just so good. Great job! I hope you consider doing more with this after the jam!
