This is pretty great. A simple but cool idea, and weirdly relaxing to play! Could be a very good little physics puzzle game if it had a few more features and levels :)

Nice level-making mechanic, I wasn't able to remove or rotate the obstacles, I tried to rotate while holding it, tried just clicking it - nothing... but hey, it's still good progress for a game made in 3h!
Thanks! That's very strange, I'm able to do everything when I load it, and it seems like everyone else that tried was able to as well, so I have no idea why that would be happening. Maybe try going fullscreen on it or making sure you're tabbed into the viewport? I have absolutely no idea, but that's really unfortunate :(
My biggest criticism of this is the number of times I need to click, release, etc, before I can start rotating/placing a piece. There's a lot of improvement to be had there!
I will always enjoy getting that trick shot ala Incredible Machine games :)
Very relaxing! The randomness of the physics gave it an unexpected replay value (some of my arrangements would only work some of the time)
Agree, needs more levels. But super cool, loved the use of bouncy physics! The music is so peaceful and relaxing too (amidst the potato's peril xD).
Thanks for the feedback! I was planning on adding some more levels with stationary obstacles, etc. for different difficulties, but I really wanted to focus on getting everything solid before I moved on, and I unfortunately just ran out of time. UIs take a while for me haha, but I'm planning on going back after the jam to do some updates!
Great, fun game!
Realised that the starting pieces didn't count as obstacles so I used them. Then kept hitting the restart button until the unpredictable potato jumped the way I wanted it to :D
