Thanks for sharing on the stream! Sorry I use hacks on the last level somehow xD

A superb realisation of the classic puzzle, minimalistic visuals, great effects and music, but music, from my point of view, is slightly too loud.

The sound and visual effects are so satisfying and compliment the simple graphics really nicely. :)

Each puzzle is simple but I still had to think about how to solve each puzzle that was really good. I often got confused on some levels at the start. For instance in level 3 I thought the ground is orange while its purple. And level 7 was the hardest overall I think. So I was stuck on it for a bit, and then the rest was easy. I like what you did with this puzzle, well done!

Sound effects and music were great in this one really fit the mood. Controls felt super responsive and the subtle screenshake when you collided with walls was great. Loved that the colors would switch on restarts. It's a shame you didn't get to play my game earlier,

Very simple and well put together. Sound effects were very well, art style is very consistent and clear and you built a lot of interesting puzzles with the limited tool set, so I applaud you for that.

The music wasn't really my thing, so a mute button would have been appreciated. The colours changing threw me off a lot, it was a nice touch but I could have done without it.

Good job! :)

That was a really fun and challenging game, it was a complete and polished package, good job :smile:
Also loved the sound effects and the screen shakes and stuff

That is a very polished game! So simple and yet challenging. I would have completed the game even if it has 100 levels. This game shows that little screen shakes and decent sound effects can make the experience so much more pleasant. Restarting the game is so easy that hard levels don't feel bad at all. The transition between screens are so decent. I have no bad points to say except that it is very short and maybe, lacks the element of the theme.

Great game! I loved its minimalistic aesthetics and how the colors changed every time the player restarts the level. The first screen is wonderful.

We also created an entry for the jam in case you wanna check.

Fun puzzle game with minimalist graphics and fitting music. I felt music was a bit loud, but I turned my volume down and all was good. Loved it.

Just a phenomenal game, thank you for joining the stream, it was a blast to play. This game deserved to place in the top 10 overall, its just that well made. Super polished and an incredible idea! Please reconsider your stance on not making this into a full game!

I hope this does well in graphics actually. I assume lots of people here are too basic to rate a game just with squares as good on graphics, but the palette choices etc. are fantastic. Far better and smarter choices than if you drew some janky art yourself. Nicely done.

the sound effects make it feel very satisfying ... its a more dynamic take on a very known type of puzzle ... the choice of colors add to the dynamic mood. The graphics overall are very polished, you use just a few elements and you really deliver a good experience on what you chose to make.
