Congrats!
In a release build, it might be nice to have a skippable demonstration of the starting pattern at the start of each level - just to help wrap your head around the current loop.
I definitely think you should wrap this up and release it :)
Congratulations, well done!
Might consider offering an optional step mode to make it easier to work through some of the later puzzles, although having to deal with it constantly moving does add to the mood.
Plus, you've got levels that *look* easy that actually turn out to be very difficult. I think it's easy to make puzzles that are difficult because they're too convoluted, but making elegant puzzles like you have is the mark of a really strong puzzle game (in my mind)
Also it seemed like the mechanics you created have far more mileage than the levels you had time for in this jam, I think the idea could scale to a much bigger game which is *another* mark of a well designed puzzle game.
All around great jam, with fantastic artwork too! I enjoyed every minute of it, and played until I'd beaten it all. Thanks for making this :smile:

To answer your question: There are multiple solutions to most levels and I even saw some new ones from you.
While I'm at it, thanks to everyone for the feedback and kind words!
I'll definitely look into making a bigger game out of this, maybe targeting mobile.
