Wow that was fun and challenging. I'm quite impressed by the amount of puzzles and mechanics you were able to create in such a short amount of time. I got probably through 20-ish puzzles? Then I made the mistake of clicking on the file or settings button and I started from 0, so I didnt end up finishing (lol), but great job and bonus points for the volume on the main menu, Pretty smart to do on a jam game!

Oh I bet it was hard to program all of the physics in such a short time, so I understand they aren't as perfect right now. It's pretty neat puzzle game none the less.

It was surprisingly fun! I wish it had a way to rotate platforms; I think that would add a significant puzzling layer to each level!

I liked the game. Only small issue is that there seems to be a long lag between all the water reaching the grass and the next level. Also Iโ€™d add some little gauge with the amount of water reached vs lost.

I spent a lot more time playing your game than I thought I would haha

The physics were so much fun to mess around with! I loved figuring out by myself what worked and what didn't. I'll probably come back to play it again lol

A great concept; I especially love the introduction of new types of platforms along the levels. However, the actual gameplay itself is quite shaky, especially because the physics are a bit janky and unreliable. The tiniest of bumps in the road can cause a complete standstill, and the trajectories when falling or launching can be a bit haphazard.

Nonetheless, I love the design, there's some great potential here. I'd love to see what this game would be like with some more polish!
