How does your game fit the theme?
The game does not allow you direct control to the player; instead, you must manipulate the environment around you to keep the player safe. Essentially, you play as the level.

This feels like something straight out of mid-2000s Newgrounds, and I mean that in the best possible way! Such a cute game with a neat concept! I like it!
Very high level of presentation and quality, interesting idea with playing as the level to get the character through. Good work.
Fun game, that seems like it would be really great with more levels that have complexity around the level of the end-bit that this had!
Good stuff) No bugs, cutscene in the beginning, mini puzzles, love it!
Great entry, this is one of the more perfect takes on the "take control of the map" interpretation of the theme. I love the soundtrack and the graphics are stunning. The full fledges menu adds a great deal of professionalism, as does the cutscene. One of my favorites so far ^-^ Well done and thank you for submitting !
I think this is a really good example of picking the right scope for the jam. It seems very complete with no issues. It has 1 central concept done well and allows for some variation. Great work!
Insanely solid prototype of a game here! All mechanics are implemented great and used in a good set of puzzles. Short and sweet, now just needs more levels!
Great job! Great scale and scope. Super nice :)
I appreciate that the buttons stay held even when you move the mouse off them. It's a simple game, but with a lot of charm and polish.
Interesting concept and great presentation. I like the levels and the idea is simple but has lots of potential. Not to mention, the artstyle and character design looks really awesome. I would like to see more of this. Great job!
Well executed and a creative take on the theme!
I really liked the gameplay loop. The camera is quite hard to control until i get used to it. Well Done
i really liked this version of a platformer where you control the surroundings. i liked your intro cutscene, the game felt super polished, and i never felt frustrated playing it. i think it was a pretty good playtime for a jam game, and i appreciated that the levels were not very isolated. in a post-jam version, i think a speedrunning mode would be very fun.
This game is very creative! It reminds me of the run scenes from Crash (Bandicoot) Twinsanity where you need to protect cortex from hazards. Nice work!!
merp , merp merp merp merp?
The Merp is real.
HAHA nice job. Name and win screen made me smile. Really enjoyed some of the double use switches. I could see this being like a rythm game where like QWER controls 4 colored switched on screen at one time and you just pop them to manipulate them instead of clicking on each one. Great job for the jam and theme usage.
