I had no idea what to do until I checked out the game page, but I got it after a few tries. A shame there's only one level (unless there's more and it didn't work for me) since the concept is honestly pretty cool. It would probably be pretty difficult and time consuming to make levels for a game like this as well, especially with all the ways you a could utilize the main mechanic. The art and theme is top notch and super polished, and the music was amazing! Awesome job!

Thank you for the kind feedback! There are actually 4 levels, you can just click on the 'Level Solved' screen to start the next one.
This was my first Game Jam, so I struggled prioritizing the correct things. I'll definitely add visual indicators for the controls as soon as the rating period is over to make it more accessible.
Also, the music was not made by me, so please check the credits on the game page if you liked it.

Was really confused at first, but once I read your tutorial comment I went back and tried again. Super fun, really interesting mechanic. Some feedback for line drawing and time pausing would probably be really helpful.

Thanks for the feedback and for putting in the effort to make it work!
Visual feedback and clarity is the first thing I'll add after the voting is over.

Sorry about that, unfortunately didn't have time for tutorial / input feedback.

Controls:
LMB - Click and drag to connect two circles or unfreeze a singular one.
RMB - Breaks all connections and freezes time.
R - Restart current puzzle.
Connections can only be made when time is frozen.
Get the circles into the the respective squares.

Thanks for playing / trying to play :s
