Had a lot of fun playing this entry! Awesome use of the theme, and the core gameplay loop was really fun. First game that does something cool with the mouse.Only feedback would be; maybe give the obstacle that tugs your mouse some telegraphing? :D besides that, amazing game!

Love the tutorial, game mechanic and controls! Can't believe that it's made in 24 hours, since you've been thinking about the idea for a day. Great Job! This game makes me go YES! (Btw I accidently clicked on the second screen when I was trying to make a really big jump LOL)

Too Many BulletsGreat use of pacing, the gimmick is introduced well, explored thoroughly, and the level design is well executed. A wonderful game.

Station ControlYo Charlie!!
The usage of theme in this is pretty nice, and the enemies just amplify it. It provides a good challenge yet it isn't too difficult. The graphics are also pretty great, especially the torch lighting. I don't think I can implement those in GMS with my current skillset :P
I really had fun playing this game. Hope to see more from you!
This. game. is. amazing. The lighting effects and pixel art are awesome! The mechanic has a lot of potential and this game used it really well. The level design is really good. This game is currently my favourite out of the GMTK Jam games I have played. I would love to see this as a bigger game!

Zombie-19Wow! Great work! I was so surprised when the input scheme changed. And it was really well done! You added so many layers to this game, I had a blast playing it.
It was sometimes a tad too hard (but that might just be me), the enemies seemed to steal the cursor just a bit too quickly.

Broken LightI've never tried a game like this before. Very creative mechanics, enemies and utilisation of those. Some of the levels were a bit finicky to get through, but otherwise I loved it!

Dr. OrderlySomething went horribly wrong, and I had to restart my computer. Maybe a memory leak somewhere?

They Must Run Out Of ControlI have windows. I played up to the third time you encounter the thwomp esque laser shooting thing. After I finished the game, instead of taking me to the next level, it frooze. And after a few moments, I tried alt+f4 to force close the program, but that didn't do anything. I used Ctr+Shift+Esc to open task manager, and the cursor froze. After some time, I hard turned off my laptop.
Really interesting movement controls, and the blocks that pull your mouse towards them are cool. The levels are fun to play and the visuals are very nice
