Omg, this is one of the most unique and creative game I've seen this jam! A platformer, but you fold the platform like it's paper to get to your destination. I love it so much! And it's implemented well. Good job!

Short and sweet puzzler. Levels were difficult enough to stall me for a bit, but nothing felt frustratingly hard. Very creative take on the theme.

Submitted

I love the idea, and really cool use of the theme! Some of the puzzles were a little hard, but once I got the hang of looking around the loop spatially, it clicked and it was really fun. Great Job! I love the little guy and the audio and vibe is awesome

Developer

Thanks for playing!

What an excellent idea! The first puzzle game that wasn't too hard fro me and just clicked, it was always easy to understand my environment and work my way backwards from where I need to be and how to get there,  really cool to move on walls and change gravity direction for falling too, couldn't imagine what the programming for all of this must've been like, it goes without saying but banjo music goes hard, especially the jingle on level completion, really great work! (very cool logo design too)

Really clever mechanic, and a clean execution of it! The puzzles were a bit challenging but I had good fun.

Holy mindblown!!

Developer

Great game! The style is really clean, the gameplay is really smart (a little too smart for me at times). Good stuff!

Submitted

Very creative idea, which leads to super nice and complex puzzles. The narrative, sound, everything works flawlessly together. Also crazy level of polish!

Wonderful entry!

Super creative idea that combines space loops with music. Love that bending mechanics and dropping into holes to the other side. It is one of the very few games that I don't feel dizzy when camera moves. Very polished game overall!

Level-bending concept, thanks!

holy, i was so surprised by that mechanic, wow!! very relaxing tone, super interesting puzzles, congrats!!

Submitted

Super clever! 

Submitted

A very fun game! It has a clever mechanic, and a stylistic vibe that's always present in a Squishy Turtle game. It was a bit challenging to wrap my head around at times, but it felt really good to figure out a level. It might be worth tutorializing some of the ways you can use the mechanic to get around, but that's really my only "criticism". Overall, awesome job :)

Developer

Thanks for playing Zach! Best of luck to jamadoo, y'all rock ;)
