Kept getting stuck on blocks because of the finger and it was hard to play with A and D since I have an azerty keyboard

The controls need a bit of polishing, and the P key is a bit hard to press. But the use of the theme is really clever, the ideas are solid, and it is fun! Well done!

Cool idea. I know it's kind of the whole point, but I think using the actual copy, paste and cut commands makes the controls too janky. Feel like I'm fighting the controls more than the puzzles. And now my fingers hurt.

This was an amazing concept really well thought out! I think if you removed the having to press CTRL it would have felt a little better for the controls. But awesome game well done!

Really fun concept! I love the unique player character (the cursor), and the music had me jamming. The platforms kept moving without me, but I persevered and finished the game, lol! Great job!!

@teejio Yeah we didn't get a chance to fix that bug, it can make for interesting multi copies though lol.

@ludovics You are also able to use the arrows to move, probably should have put that in the controls. Thanks for playing!

@i-wrote-it-myself Thanks for playing! I always struggle to get controls to feel good, need to improve my character controller skills.

@helekopeter Was thinking that using arrow keys instead of WASD might make it a bit easier on the fingers, thanks for the feedback!

@morepixels Thanks for the feedback! We're definitely going to try and polish this after the jam!

@littleblackdog Thanks for the feedback! Glad that you enjoyed it, I thought moving platforms with rigidbodies and a rigidbody character would be a simple task. I was wrong, lol.

Fun concept, I'm liking the idea and the execution isn't too bad, moving platforms didn't work, really. And the controls felt a bit clunky and needed precision, however! The copy paste idea was just brilliant, and you did a good job of it, well done.

The concept and the idea is cool and fun, but the implementation is too buggy to be enjoyable: the character get block to often, forcing you to restart multiple times, the restart button don't always work too, and the copy paste sometimes copy the wrong box. Even the moving part move while you walk on them.

It's still have something, because I try my best to reach the end despite all that, so, there is something in this game. But the bug hide it well.

This Soundtrack is truly something. Catchy and a nice beat. Perfect for the game. The game itself is fun the puzzles are not to easy and not to difficult. In some levels i didnt see the boxes as they were not fully shown on my screen in fullscreen. Besides that well done!

Nice puzzle game, did find a bug with the cut block where you could cut the block again while still holding the block. Besides that, very fun.

Interesting game! Using the cursor and copy-pasting to cleverly pass the levels, these blocks remind me of the Companion Cube in Portal haha. The music is also very dynamic! A great gaming experience.

I love the concept! Cursor commands as a game mechanic is a clever way to hit this jam. I had a lot of fun with the stages, though I did get stuck a lot on the corners as I jumped around. The music was fun too!

fun concept, very clever mechanics! controls were not the best for some reasons (hard to precisely put a box somewhere because you have to do some left-right, sometimes i was stuck between two boxes) but i really liked the idea! nice to see that!

Creative idea! Couldn't play too far due to ctrl+ZXC doing critical damage to my wrist (would also have appreciated up as jump key :D)

omg, I really like your game. This idea is really great!! I really like it!! The art style is also very cute (which is an important reason for me to point in), and the music is also very interesting, feeling like it will appear in tonight's dream
