It's a nice experience overall
Good job

Beautiful experience, though less like a game and more like an interactive poem.  A refreshing break from more action-oriented entries.

Really like the art and atmosphere the game creates. nice job.

Really calming game with a nice message. The mechanics are simplistic, yet effective. The sound design and the art mesh together very well, delivering a zen-like experience.

Great work!

The concept of linking movement of different characters or pieces in a puzzle game is pretty well explored but the atmosphere and theme of your game is quite different from most of the others. The music is really relaxing and well made. The gameplay is challenging but not too challenging. Good job!

So first, I thought how easy this game is, but then came the.... spinning things? Why are they not spikes. jk. So overall, I think the difficulty curve was very good.

The presentation is excellent, (especially for you, if I can say that.) All fits the style. Though the particles, and especially the way they move is a bit... contruct-y? Idk, but I see bad looking particles from C3 pretty often. The sprite for it is good, but next time if possible maybe tweak the movement idk.

The concept is good. It's simple, well explained.

Good game. Good developer.

The mood of the game and the visuals are really soothing and make for a nice experience! I liked the design of the last level, which feels like a well-orchestrated puzzle without being unfair. I think the philosophical thought about being 'joined together' could be even deepened if you explored it in more different ways (for example what happens when the things that used to be joined together are now disjoint from one another?)

Thank you for this really relaxing game!

Good message in the mechanics

The polish on this game is fantastic!  I love how you weaved in a little message relating to the theme.  Looking forward to the inevitable devlog about this game :)

Tough puzzles in a calm atmosphere, seasoned with an interesting story. I like it! Being a fan of your YouTube channel, it would mean a lot to me, if you could also have a look at our submission.
