Amazing game and idea :). It would be very helpful to be able to speed up the movement a little bit. Maybe 2x an 3x mode + when the new moves are available it would be great to see what they do e.g. once you select them from the menu they could "happen on the screen". Besides that no comments really as the game is really well executed! :)
Yeah, I thought about a preview button to see what the sequence does, and a 2x speed mode is a pretty cool idea thanks!
And thanks for the feedbacks <3
you gonna be in top 10 for sure...
all the best for the rest of the jam

Thank you so much for this comment <3 Haha, I don't think so, there is so many great games, but really appreciate you think that <3
Unfortunately I can't because I'm on a Mac, but if you have a link for a HTML5 or macOS build I would gladly try it (Or maybe if you have a full gameplay video, it's not quite the experience but I can get an idea)
Great level design and fun art style! I love how I was able to learn the mechanics just through playing the levels.
Thank you! <3 I tried my best to do that and I'm glad it works!
Nice game and the difficulty progression is well done and the art looks really nice. It is fun to think about how things will progress and how they will interact. However, some commands were introduced in complex levels so it sometimes require losing at least once to explore how they work. I would've preferred if they were introduced in simpler levels. Still, this is not a big problem and losing once or twice before understanding is not frustrating. The chromatic aberration effect looks really nice (It is one of my favorite effects). Overall, this game is really intriguing and fun. Excellent work.
Thank you for this awesome feedback! <3
I think, for a better understanding of new features I will add a "preview" button in a V2 version if I found the time to work on it, so we can see how the sequence works before doing any actions
That's so cool! I managed to pass all levels! Haha we both have the same responsive problem, my game also cuts the logo if you don't go fullscreen
Nice! Thank you! Yeah haha, I'll try to fix that!
Already had played that one, but thanks for pointing it out in the bug thread :) Rating is present!
Thank you! I plan to inspect and correct to release a bugfree version soon, with amelioration I saw in feedbacks!
Yeah same here! Already have the fixed version ready to deploy as soon as it opens. Working on converting it into a bigger project at the moment. So much fun this weekend.
Fantastic work. I really enjoyed your puzzles.
Thanks! <3
Puzzle game with potential, only being able to choose one action makes strategy more accessible, the amount of possibilities makes it not break the game. Great job.
Thank you!
Really good, easy to understand game. The only part I had issues with was knowing the sword would destroy dropped spike balls and push bombs.
Thanks for those feedbacks!
Wow this a one of the really good ones! I was surprised I managed to be able to get to the end of the demo, really good work on this!
Thank you! <3
The concept is really well thought out! This game makes you think and I LOVE it for that! Graphics are great too with a really cool shader on there! great game!
Thank you for this comment <3 I'm glad you had a great time!
Interesting idea! Reminds me a bit of Else Walker from last year's GMTK Jam. A neutral play without inputting any events would have been nice so I could understand the level before inputting anything. Still, very well executed.
Oh yeah, I've heard of it but never actually played it! I love this type of game and it's mainly inspired from Zachtronics games!
Thank you for the comment and suggestion! <3
cool game ,,, but somehow the later level there was too much process and i just use intuition(gut feeling) to choose the correct answer XD .
Great work on the levels that introduce new elements too, esp the boom one which the only way out is try to hit it and realize it can be push around
Thanks for your feedbacks!
damn I'm a sucker for flashy visuals- outstanding job! The gameplay was fun and original. Overall, you knocked this one out the park!
Thank you! <3
This a very nice puzzle game! And a very solid and polished game and it's just made in two days! Only the post effect was misplaced, especially at the last levels. But besides that, great job! Really!
Thank you! It seams like a lot of people had problems with the post process, so I think I will make a option menu to change it or something in a bugfix version after the jam is over!
I would say it's the right choice ;)
And if you also like it would be pretty cool if you would play and rate our game also. We would appreciate it very much :)
Yes, I will to that!
Thanks! :)
All around 5 stars from me! This is a fantastic game!
Thank you so much! <3
A well done and thought puzzle game. Good job.
Thank you! <3
Well done. You gave enough options that brute force would be a dumb approach. That is something some people overlook. I'm a little sad I never saw what the retry rotating looking symbol did because I solved that level first try. Maybe I'll go back later. You made a good amount of interesting commands and styled the game all in a short period of time. Good job!
I see it undoes the previous command, cool! I think it and wait were a little underused but I'm sure that was just time constraints :)
Thank you for those feedbacks! <3
Yeah, the icon might not be very explicit, and yeah, I added it to do more interesting levels but I used it only once because of the time and needs
great idea! i love all the different scenarios you got out of a handful of items. one of my favorites so far!
Thank you! I'm really happy you liked it!
Very original! Really liked the design and the idea. Had fun playing it. 5 stars.
Thank you so much <3 Really, I'm very glad you liked it <3
