I love your level design, it's very simple and I learned very quickly how things operate and how I/the player are supposed to interact. The text is a little small though and could be larger

Loved the mechanics of the game, the visuals are good too. The character is way too cute <3.

Control is the KeyAwesome little puzzle game!
The mechanics were introduced perfectly, the character is adorable, and the controls work well (the gravity button feels especially good and responsive).
I’d even venture to say that the explanations of the control objects aren’t necessary, they’re pretty intuitive.
Wish there were more levels; loved it!
A very solid game! Bravo!

CMD and CTRL: Shortcut HeroesA bit on the easy side, but a solid puzzle game with great presentation, good job!
(also, just a small bug, I played trough a second time and got stuck on a level (the one with 2 enemies, spikes and a turret) because it started with upside down gravity before I even pressed the button)

No killing while I'm away, pleaseFantastic game! The robot is so cute and I had a great time playing this. I was so frustrated by the second to last level but it was good enough to keep trying and eventually I got it!

Biogenetic LawReminds me soooo much of Krusty's Fun House on the Nes, Used to play it for hours as a little kid. Loved not having control of the mice but having to control the environment! Nice job!

Javier's AssistantReally cool level design. I do wish that the gravity switch button remained in the same place each time it was activated, but regardless a really fun game! Good job.

Tricky KeysThis is nice! A couple things though,
- I wish that the gravity button (that I push with my mouse) would always be in the same spot, maybe add a panel on the side where all of the interactable UI goes or something like that
- The text that explains the mechanics is way too small, maybe overlay something over the whole screen, instead of just a tiny little box that I can't read
Besides that, great game! Here's mine https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/697413 feel free to check it out :)

Split ShotVery cool game. The levels are pretty great too as well the animations. If you want you can transform this into a full game, you are really good at level design too. Only one little thing I think that could be improved in the future is put the gravity button (the big yellow one, not the platform to activate it) always in the same place. Congratulations!

Plague OverflowNice game, I got stuck when the turret was introduced I could rotate it but it wouldn't shoot.

Unlucky Test ChamberThis is a solid execution of this concept! I initially thought the gravity button felt more complex than the previous objects you could manipulate, so I would have thought it felt unbalanced, but then the turret was a pleasant surprise after that and made the game feel a lot more like you were playing with different objects equally! I had trouble seeing you could toggle walls off AND on at first since the effect is pretty subtle, so some clarification there would have helped me early on! Great job!
