It's a little bit easy to overshoot the target. Also there is a back button for the level, but not an advance button seemingly. Another point is that level 4 and 5 are not consistent in how they work. In level 4 you can push a button to wrap around the screen, but in level 5 it just disappears. Overall still a really neat idea.

Real Estate RescueExtremely clever and well made game! Easily one of my favorites in the jam. Great job!

The Cat & The PigThis was a ton of fun to play. I did have a couple of problems where I would accidentally over-shoot on pushing the blocks into position and had to restart.

RuleScrambleWe can feel the inspiration from Baba is you ! The level design is good, but maybe the UI/texts disposition can be improved.

Ida's Anxietygreat idea! i had some problems moving keys in the right direction and overshooting positions they should stop at. other that that a really great game!

Emergency ProtocolBrilliant idea! I'm amazed by how much the game get me to actually think by presenting such tiny amount of puzzle elements.

Gravity is MercyThe core idea is clever! I think the levels definitely taught the players mechanics well though like others have said the actual block pushing implementation is a bit frustrating. Overall the level designs were good though and made use of all the blocks and statements on screen.
Combination keys is a great additional mechanic and I think instead of the wrap around mechanic this could have even more Baba is You style craziness where actions generate key inputs. For example, you might have a level where you "Left is A" and then if you have additional rules "S is left" and "A is down" then your player can only move diagonally down-left or just straight down. The ctrl block would then be straight left and the player would need to somehow first disable the "Left is A" rule.

Edna - Out of sight, out of controlSimple but really good. Have some issues then keys blocks going across the screen, but after some attemts have managed to beat it! As you said it inspired by Baba Is You and Strange Keyworld and it very noticeably. Good job!

Out of Space!A very polished experience. I might be in the minority here but I think the having the keys switched during different puzzles was a bit too confusing. But other than that I genuinely had a good time with this one!

Don't Screw It UpA really well made little puzzle game! I was having issues pushing blocks across the edge of the screen but I figure that I probably just wasn't meant to need that feature for the blocks in the puzzles. I'd love to see some more interesting puzzles in this format.

Card ControlReally made me think! I the controls were ironically a little finicky and sensitive, as I think the movement is grid based but it's not very obvious. I loved that your character is a keyboard key, so cute!

M for Mature: Definitive EditionNice puzzle game. Be careful with ctrl+ combinations in browsers though! The movement didn't feel great, it was especially frustrating to have to restart because I pushed a block one space too far.
I really liked it in the beginning, but found that it didn't get much more interesting as time went on.

Hyper WarpA fun and satisfying experience with lots of thought-provoking puzzles!

FrictionlessReally great job, I normally don't really like puzzle games but this one was so good I couldn't help but give it 5s across the board :)
The puzzles were so satisfying to complete, and really took some thinking to get done! And while it was challenging, it wasn't rage-inducing. Very calming and satisfying game to play, and good job for making it in 48 hours!! :)
