Clever concept! I included it in my Love Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Pretty nice puzzle game. My only issue is constant switching between game screen and editing rhythm window to tweak action timings.

In the bemused orbitSaw some footage of this earlier, but sadly jumping keeps randomly failing for me, even when the character is just standing on the ground.
That aside, the game has a cool puzzle format, and I think it would be nice to get a more polished version with more features and puzzles. The minimalistic cartoony style is nice to look at. On the sound side, feels like something is missing (maybe calming music or ambient sounds?). But overall, I like the aesthetic and the puzzles.

HotspotIt was an interesting idea but it wasn't very fun to play. As complexity increased it felt less like solving a puzzle and more like trial and error with the tools provided. There is also a lot of waiting the player has to do in between each try which only stifles the fun. I am reminded of Lemmings and Mario vs Donkey Kong. I also encountered a (bug?) issue in which a loop would have a chance to fail if you were relying on precise timing.

PolygraphHi, thanks for testing our game :)
Unfortunately, we don't really see how to fix this "trial and error", given that adding a sound changes all of the level. Making the levels shorter would help, but it would also make the levels much easier.
For the precise timing issue, this is related to our physics engine, which will need a full rewrite for a next release.
Pretty fun game. I like that the commands loop, it's interesting. It was tough to get the commands matching parts of the level.

Bat Outta HellInteresting concept. As it currently stands though, the "fun" of it is missing a bit, as it's a somewhat tedious process to match the actions to the different parts of the level.
I also encountered some bugs, like not being able to shoot through the bars that blocked my progress.
