This was a really creative game. Nice ramp up of challenged and introduction of mechanics.

I would have liked to see controller support, which would have taken 5 minutes for you to add. Playing with a keyboard hurts my wrist.

Overall really solid game.

Great vibe for the pixel art retro theme. Really appreciate the distinct colors for the platforming. The sound effects where a bit too loud at times. The throw for the pink button made me panic everytime because I new I would have to start over!

Very fun puzzle platformer. Really original and loved the vibe!!

This was a fun puzzle platformer. I liked the dual control system. Though throwing the controller could be annoying with the arc coming from your head rather than your hand and often clipping things I thought it would clear. The arc is a nice helper, and having it offset makes sense to keep the challenge in place, rather than making it too easy, but it could still be frustrating.

I made it through all the levels. The controls were easy to learn and use. This had a great retro vibe to it. While I like pixel art and the pixel font, it could be hard to read at the default size, except the credits which were clear. I did switch to full screen and it was better for most, but the credits that looked good at smaller scale were not so clear anymore. 

Overall, a good game.

I like that some puzzles had multiple correct solutions! Good job on the jam!

I love the game controller mechanic to move the platforms! Having both vertical and horizontal platforms leads to some really interesting outcomes. The controller throwing noise made me smile every time I heard it!

Puzzles games are so hard to get right,but you did it. Nice job!

I like the colorful retro look too!

Thanks, we didnt realize how hard level design was going into this. Glad you liked it!

I think it is an adorable game! But that last level is tough to time the release so you can push the pink button.

Developer

Yeah that last throw feels a bit like a buzzer beater in basketball where you're biting your nails waiting to see if it goes in 🫣
