I'm too dumb for this game. It's really pretty and smart, but I got stuck on the 4th level and quit. I don't understand what's different between the arrow pieces and the A piece.

Very interesting idea for a puzzle game, but I'm not sure I totally understand the mechanics enough to solve the puzzles. Like, when he enters a space next to several different segments, how do I know which one he will pick up? Original. Very challenging.

Super frustrating/difficult, but really good.

That's a clever puzzle game... And it made me realise how bad I am at puzzle games xD

Rolling doesn't work for me. It shows boxes, but I don't know how to finish the move.

Really good game. I'm way too dumb for this though. Loved it

This game is delightfully hard with a beautiful pixel-art style. I love it!

I'm too stupid for this game.. I can't even finish the basic levels.. seems promising though. Visuals are super nice.

Very tricky indeed! I skipped over one level but I managed to make it up to Blender. Although, based on how many people are struggling with the early stages, I think there might be a bit of an onboarding issue.

As a bit of an aside, the glowing boxes in the background really helped to liven up an otherwise boring, static screen.

Completed it! Thanks for the game, rather fun, even if it did take me a while to complete.

Great puzzle game! But I'm not good at solving puzzles, got stuck at the second A piece thingy. I like the art and the little sounds it makes :)

Got stuck on Awkward, appropriately enough.
It is a bit on the tougher side, but it's still super satisfying finding out the correct sequence once you understand the first set of mechanics.

Finished it, amazing puzzle game! I realized a couple levels earlier than I needed to that I could roll large segments and was glad there was a level that required you to do that :)

I think the 15th level is significantly harder than the 16th so maybe swapping them would be good?

One of the more unintuitive mechanics is the fact that you only attach to one thing at a time so that levels like "Backwards" can work; I think having a dotted line or something showing you just what will get attached and pulled based on your current state might make the game a bit easier to read.

I adore people who can make a fascinating puzzle with pretty unconventional core mechanics. You sir did a magnificent game with easy to start core, well done!

I absolutely loved this one. Quite the brain teaser, really awesome feeling when you get it. Took me a while to really figure out what the Q and E keys do. See me failing to see the obvious solution here: https://youtu.be/9L0nMu94KKA

Oh man this was challenging right from the beginning, but it's still really fun. The art style is perfect. Great job!
