That worked pretty neat. It was only a few levels, but it was neat to have to think quickly about where things had to go, and if you made a mistake, you were scrambling to correct everything. It did seem like if you were quick enough (click, move slightly right, drop), you could abuse the platform to put the character anywhere and cheat the puzzles (maybe that could be prevented by not allowing the player to move the platform the character is currently on?).

Centripetal ChaosI quite like the game, one thing which could be added is a tutorial and meaby some objects like springs could have physics... Still well done with the game :)

Virus AttackThat was really fun, and for once I was able to finish this game, yay! I like the fact that the objects stayed, so I didn't have to constantly drag stuff in. I think building levels where there's "an obvious solution" that really isn't the solution at all would be a fun evolution for the game. I agree with other comments that a soundtrack would make this *chef kiss*. There are also some details with the graphics, like the title logo could be done in an art style matching the rest of the art. Overall this was really fun and I agree that it would make a really fun mobile game. I would appreciate it if you could give ours a play as well!

JumBean's Great EscapeGreat game! Love the concept. I think being able to move stuff around as the game is running makes it a bit too easy, though. Having a separate 'build phase', then a 'run phase' - much like Poly Bridge - would make it more challenging, I think. Keep up the good work!

Curse of the Black HorseThis have a lot of potential! i'd love to play more levels, good job!

A Call 4 Comfort <3Thank you for playing the game! I tried to pace the levels so that the player gets some time to understand the mechanics. Making the hero fail is a part of the gameplay so that the player can set the platforms at the right place. Glad you enjoyed it!
I would lile to create more levels.... maybe a release 2!?
Really fun game, I like the idea of building the stage while the player is already moving. Well done!

Beach blastI like the concept, really fun way of turning a platformer into a puzzler. If you build it out further, really take to heart the idea of a "catch" where the obvious answer is to do "X" but "Y" prevents you from doing that.
As the music composer for my team's game, I selfishly agree that a simple soundtrack would make a huge difference in the presentation. Think about what the "story" or the "lore" of the game is. Who is the player? Who is the character? What is the reason for the mechanic? That can give you a lot for a composer to work with in terms of tone of the game and musical themes.
Definitely hope you do build it out though because I agree with the commenters, this could make a great mobile game.

Growing BrokeGreat job! Nice simplistic game. I feel like it doesn't fit the theme of the jam super well, but I see what you were thinking. I think this would make a great mobile game. Please think of doing that! Overall, nice job!

Steering-lessNice entry! the game was simple and fun and the sound effects were nice. A soundtrack would also be nice to have. great job!

Baby Stop!I love this type of games! I also highly enjoy that in your project it's possible to move the platform around. Fortunately or not, this allowed me to beat many of the levels using a single platform instead of all the proposed obstacles. I just moved it down below the player.
Slippery "yee-haw" platforms are my favorite part. :)
