Nice little programming game! I like the "Playlist" take on the genre, but I agree with a previous comment that it'd be nice to have some audio to listen to along with our lil buddy while they're beboppin around. I liked the visuals a lot!

nice concept, well executed with minimal bugs

Underrated entry into the jam for sure! The playlist looping idea is such a unique take on the theme, loved it! Levels 5 and 6 were probably my favorites, being surprisingly challenging (and level 7 kinda just melted my brain for some reason).

Biggest bits of feedback I have are that sometimes, the songs would go off the screen on the bottom (even in fullscreen), so I just kinda had to remember/guess which directions they went (tho the colors certainly helped once I noticed them!). Also, it would have been nice to actually get to hear some of the music in some capacity as the playlists cycled (tho probably not the actual songs listed for copyright reasons, i get why it wasn't there, but something to stand in their places would have been nice).

But either way, I still really enjoyed this jam entry and definitely appreciate the unique take on the theme! Great stuff!

The playlist looping mechanic is genius! I really liked the puzzles, wished i could see what the songs did when it was in the playlist.

Cool game! The theming of creating a playlist and listening to music fits the gameplay mechanics very well! I liked the puzzles and their varities in solutions and such, you used the looping part of the playlist mechanic very well!

Really nice game idea

Nice mechanics. Good use of the theme. With so little time during a game jam, puzzle difficulty is always hit or miss. Getting that balance of difficulty just right takes time. So it's a really great that you implemented a level select.

Some of the puzzles with low difficulty were frustrating, since the completion takes so long, Level 4 for example, requires quite some loops of the character slowly moving. That can get frustrating really fast.

Small tip, when using Unity WebGL, you should turn off Itch.io's version off full screen, as they don't play nice with Unity's implementation for full screen.
