I don’t really have anything to say other than good job, I really enjoyed this!
The pause mechanic adds a lot of interesting possibilities to a game of this genre, great work
Really quite fun and great music/sfx! Such simple mechanics but used in increasingly difficult ways. Excellent.
This was a really well done take on the level turning mechanic. Once I figured out the pause mechanic it really opened up. There is this nice moment when you realize you can move around mid air and suddenly no challenge is insurmountable. Cool game.
Great puzzle game! Had me thinking a lot about how the ghosts would orientate after I turned it. Freezing time made sure it was a puzzle game and not execution based! One bug if you decide to do a post-jam version: if you pause time, rotate, and while rotating hit a ghost, you get soft locked. That didn't take away from my enjoyment tho! The music shift was really good, and the song is really catchy, the art is clean, all in all a lovely game!
Great little puzzle game! I really liked the freeze mechanic, for some reason, it gave me the feeling that sometimes I had my own unique solution! :D Nice job!
Beat all 10 levels. Man, I feel so accomplished. Well done!
Really fun puzzle with cute visuals! The "stopping time" mechanics really shook things up! Also, I really like the progression of the game. Good job!
-Enjoyment: Wow that was super fun!! I really like the stop time mechanic!
-Creativity: Very creative!
-Presentation: It looks crisp and clean so everything is understood. Also the game feel is nice with cool effects. I really like the stop time effect!
-Neat game indeed!! Please check out my non-creative entry when you can :D
Great puzzles :) I liked how the mechanics slowly revealed themselves as the game is played.
This was really well polished! I didn't know you could freeze the level while you were falling at first, but after I got that, it was pretty smooth sailing from there! I think a little bit of tutorial text to explain the core mechanics of the game would help with that, but that's a really minor thing! Nice visuals and sound design! Great work!
Really original idea!
I like how it mix strategy and quick reflexes :)
I found a bug where the game will freeze if i die and hit spacebar at the same time, but other than that very good presentation :)
Really like this entry! Very well-polished work and feels good to play. My biggest criticism was level 8 was buggy for me, with me being stuck frozen forever at one point. Regardless of this bug, great work.
Really nice game! I liked the time-stop mechanic in addition to the moving-level mechanic. Nice level design and looks simple yet very polished and enjoyable!
Cute and sweet! Well made apart from a few bugs
I love how cute this all is! Great job overall and well done for coming up with so many tricky levels in such a short space of time!
Good puzzle game! Great level design as well.
This is definitely my favorite of the "platformer, but you rotate the stage" subgenre I've seen in this jam so far. There are some great levels that force you to think about how to reposition the ghosts while also making sure you don't rotate the stage in a way that sends you into some spikes. Levels 9 and 10 really force you to understand the game's mechanics. Those levels had me on my toes as I freeze the level just before smacking into a ghost whose movement I didn't consider properly.
A couple of notes:
- I think the stage rotating animation should have been a little bit faster.
- If you die while in freeze mode (which can happen if you rotate the stage while right next to a ghost), the game softlocks.
But other than that, this was a lot of fun with very simple mechanics! Great work!
Good puzzles!
Easy to grasp the concept and start playing. Puzzles were very well crafted. Impressive work!
