Nice game! Looks great and SFX and music was spot on. I feel that the rotation part could be improved a lot as now it sort of teleports the player and the rotation of the level causing you to feel confused. It would have been better if you rotated the level as an animation so you can easier understand what is happening.

Great puzzle platformer. Nice implementation of all the kenney assets, it really looks nice. The bug/platform enemies were also really cool. Overall a solid game for just 2 days of work.

STELLAR LUMINOSITYThis is a really cool puzzle-ish platformer! It looks great and all of the mechanics work as expected and feel really polished!
To be honest, I was kinda sad when I beat the last level! I was getting so in the grove (barring all of the times I tried hugging those spikes) and I really wished I had a handful more levels to play!
Excellent game and well done!!

GyroomLoved the cute animations! The music is nice, the scenarios are beautiful and the level design is challenging and interesting. Great game!

AstroghostThere have been quite a few "rotate the level" puzzle platformers this jam, but one thing that stood out to me with this one is that it's a bit more action-y than the others. The platforming is pretty tight, and if you have a good grasp of the level layout you can manipulate the room rotation mechanic to find quicker and more clever ways to the exit. As a fan of action-y puzzle games I quite like that.

Last PlanetI think the idea was there but the implementation is a bit rough mainly because the transition for the rotations is extremely jarring and takes me off guard every single time having me pretty much guess on what's going to happen next. For me, personally, have the a smooth rotation rather than a snap would make it less jarring. If you don't want the player to move while the rotation is happening, you can always freeze everything while the world rotates.

Whirling EscapeVery responsive controls and rotation. There are two stages to playing a level, figuring out where to go, and then executing going there with a bunch of tricky jumps and rotations. Unfortunately i am not very good at the latter, so i can't really judge how much there is, but from what i've seen it is a well designed platformer. Good job.

Protect Port Poly, plsGreat job. The transition effect makes death satisfying :)
It took me quite a few tries to figure out how the rotation keys work. I thought it’s teleporting at first.

Animals on WheelHehe - first comment about the death animation! I was really pleased with that too! I had originally intended to animate the level rotation, but it caused some incredible game-breaking bugs that I just didn't have time to resolve... it did make it more obvious what was going on though... I think that I may have to reimplement it post-jam as it seems to be the most jarring part of the game experience.
Really enjoyed this one. While I agree with other feedbacks that without an animation it can be kinda hard to keep track of what's happening when you rotate the screen, once you play a bit more and start to "get it" the level design really comes through and you start to plan your moves better. Also I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I enjoyed the possibility to solve the puzzles with "trick jumps" where you jump and change the rotation multiple times in mid-air to get to your destination. Although if this was to be an intended mechanic it would probably benefit from a slower fall speed as it's quite hectic to control as it is now. Anyway one of my fav entries so far!

Master PlumberA concept that have been seen but really well made with nice little touch/polish.
I just felt like the jump was not forgiving enough, like, the spikes line were a bit too long, maybe that's wanted and you want the puzzle AND the platform type, so in this case, that's all good.
Same for the ennemy, the jump on there head was a bit unforgiven. But well, you can't extra polish everything with so much little time. But I read that you may do an update so just telling what I'd want to be changed :).
It's a great game whatever!

Orbital DefenseInteresting puzzle game. The rotation is so inmediate that it is hard to control, but it is a lot of fun.
Submitted
Rota-MorphsWish it had an animation for rotation as it really jarring to suddenly be falling. Other than that its got some fun levels
Submitted
Island Strikefun but there's a bug where you can die when you jump on the bug guys
