Impressive! The mechanics kind of reminded me of Braid, but with a circular twist. And the atmosphere created by the graphics and sound is pretty unique. Such a great experience, congrats!

Really nice idea! Kind of reminds me of Angry Birds Space.
Cool game, feels like real life haha. I only reached level 10 :(
Nice little game! Love the details it has. A shame it is so short, I was pretty engaged to it.
Great game! It's kind of a grid-based version of my game.
I love how smooth the tutorial is, and the levels are really smart.
The only complaint I have is the game is a bit too short, maybe you could try expanding it when the rating period ends!
I made it out of the loop! The level design is clever, it took me a while to figure it out. As you suggest, the art could be more polished, but it has been a very interesting game to play anyway. Nice work!
Hi Miziziziz! Another fan of your channel here :D
This is a really original idea, and the mechanics look really polished.
I think the artstyle could get some improvements, it looks to me like the characters and the environment styles do not match. Some more VFX could also be a good addition.
I couldn't finish it because I encountered a bug (I think it happened when I died, but the UI still showed a heart of health left), the character seemed to stop colliding with the string and with the enemy bullets, so I could not progress.
There is also a bug related to the screenshake when the string is long enough, but you probably already noticed that one.
That aside, I really love the concept and I think you could definitely finish polishing it and release a bigger version, this could end up being an awesome game. :)
Really cool that you managed to fit a fighting game in this theme, really impressive.
It's a really fun game, the art reminded me a lot of [Footsies](https://hifight.github.io/footsies/) :)
Nice game concept. Love the simple neon visuals. I wish it was more challenging and had more levels though :(
Great entry! Loved the art and sound effects. The comments are pretty funny too.
One thing that was a bit odd is the progression. I think it should have had a bit of randomness in the floor events. I just had to remember where I died and farm until that point without thinking.
But anyway, great game!
Nice portal reference, I really liked the hard levels.
Love the graphics and it is a great take on the theme. Gameplay is a bit too simple in my opinion, I would love to see a platformer of some kind in this style.
I loved the atmosphere of the game! Although I found the ending a bit predictable :P
Great entry :)
Great mechanic and incredibly well executed. Everything in the game feels very polished. As others said, could easily be a winner. Congrats for the entry! A bit hard for me though :P
Awesome graphics, it looks really polished. I think it only kind of fits the theme, but it's a great minigame.
Nice concept, very challenging! I got stuck on level 1, I don't know if it was a bug or I didn't understand how to progress. Still, I like the mechanics a lot and general aesthetics are dope.
Nice game! It has an interesting mechanic. As others said, the UI looks cool.
I got a bit of motion sickness though :/
Also I love the shooting sound lol.
Very interesting interpretation of the theme. The animations are dope! I also like the way the sounds telegraph the spear without even seeing it. I think some gameplay variation could make it more enganging, but it's a good execution of the idea anyway. Nice work!
Pretty funny game! Had a fun time playing, though it was hard to complete. Reach the farthest bowls was hard!
Also nice animations on the fingers and the children, very polished in that way :)
The artstyle looks awesome, the kind of impressionist pixel art you used fits really well with the scary themes, and the animation looks amazing.
I don't exactly understand what I have to do tho, I can't get past the first corridor, the portal seems to kill me and to the right is the beast. If it's a bug, fixing it post jam is allowed I think. Let me know if you do.
Who of you made that animation? I would love to see more of their art if they have it posted somewhere.
@william-derksen @sophiemae0 Ah! That makes sense, silly me. I failed to understand I had to wait a few seconds for the loop to work.
The level design is actually really good after that. I didn't expect the rocks mechanic, really smart.
Thanks for the answers! I will check out your other game later.
Very interesting design! It's a bit too hard for me so I can't keep alive for too much time. Still, the controls feel good and the graphics are cool. Great work!
Nice game! It was hard but fun to beat (I played with laptop touchpad). Maybe if you could enter the numbers with the keyboard?
The visuals, although very simple, fit really well on the game. Music was a bit repetitive, but I guess that was the point :D
Great entry overall :)
Incredibly well made game for a 72h gamejam! I was impressed with the level design and amount of content this entry has. The idea is really well executed too.
Definitely one of best etries I've tried so far!
Wow, our game was also inspired by Blek, what a coincidence!
Also, were you in Miziziziz's Jam too? lol We made a game with those graphics for that Jam too.
Really nice entry, loved the fact that you wrote a song in a weekend just for the game!
The gameplay works pretty well too :)
I didn't know what to do after getting the sheriff, was that the end?
Loved to get the people out of the way with the floater :P
This is speedrun material, once you know the tracks, you can master the game and get better times. I think some more polish would enhance the game a lot. Graphics are pretty good btw.
Nice game! Very fun to play and polished gameplay. I hope you get more ratings! I miss some graphics, but great entry overall :)
Nice platforming game! Graphics are pretty cool. The gameplay is a hard at the beginning because it turns too fast, but you get used to it in time.
Impressively polished for a Compo game. Got stuck on level 6. I love the visual effects and sounds. The mechanics are a really cool variation on the usual 'clones' take on the topic, the limited movement and time based mechanics really make it feel distinct.
Wow genuinely loved the idea! The athmosphere of the game is really good too! I got stuck after some levels, too much thinking for me :P
But very good entry, I wish you the best!
Wow I loved it! The concept is really innovative and it is really impressive you managed to make all those switch minigames in a Jam.
Really great!
Did you try compiling for WebGL? I really think you would get more ratings if you did.
Weird game.
Really nice! We thought of doing something with while loops but didn't come up with anything interesting, I'm glad someone managed to make a good game out of that idea!
It is a bit hard but it's fun.
Really enjoyed it, the joke with the bluescreen was really funny.
Love the graphics, looks very professional.
I didn't see how it exactly fits the theme, but it is really fun.
Controls are hard but precise.
Nice entry.
At first I got stuck at level 3, could not find the way to continue, until I realised that when you get hit by an enemy, it leaves an anchor point behind. Maybe that should be explained somewhere?
I liked it, especially the music chosen :)
Pretty cool game! The movement feels good and the bosses are pretty challenging. Also the music sounds nice. It lacks some polish in my opinion but still I had a blast playing it :)
Lol very funny game xD I love the contrast between the colorful and happy victory screen effects and what is actually happening. I couldn't stop laughting! Great job.
Nice mechanic! It was fun to think about how to do the loop to kill all the enemies at once.
I would improve the visual a bit but great entry anyway :)
Very funny game!
I got stuck inside a wall tho.
The idea is really cool, but when you get the hang of it it turns out pretty easy.
I think the timer of the good blocks (arrows and hearts) should decrease in time, or maybe add more blocks.
Visuals are great, it could be a mobile game :)
Funny idea, it's so frantic! I think it could be a pretty engaging game with some more content and polish.
Nice looping mechanic. I also like the handmade art :)
Cool entry!
Nice game, reminds me of Super Hexagon, but slower. It's really hard for me to go through the yellow loops tho, maybe making the arrow smaller would make for a better experience.
Loved it! This is a great idea, I really liked the Portal vibes.
The progression is very polished, I loved the conveyor belts level. However I got stuck in the level with two balls that need to bounce on each other to press a button in the middle, the timing was too hard for me.
Graphics and sound could see some improvement, but other than that it is a great entry.
Really hard and fun game!
Didn't exactly get how it fit the theme tho.
Couldn't beat the final form. Maybe a more forgiving roll move could make it more satisfying to control, but I'm nitpicking, it's a pretty good entry.

Interesting concept and cool visuals! The difficulty curve was a bit weird though. Maybe you could turn it into an engaging arcade game.
Really cool concept. The theme is very well applied to the platforming game. This has potential! :)
Great idea! Loved the visuals, the audio and the puzzles, everything is very polished. I wish it had more levels!
With more mechanics it could be a full game no doubt
Rated! The visuals are really cool and the gameplay feels good. Could not beat the mage that throws arrows tho :(
Hope you get to the 20 reviews!!
Simple and highly polished, as it should be.
This is my favourite entry so far, the scope was perfectly calculated for the compo and it resulted in a highly consistent and polished game.
The walls mechanic was also a great addition, more ideas like that could be added to expand the game even further and add more levels. I would gladly play a longer version of this game if you decide to continue develpment of it :D
Cool game! It has a nice gameplay with controller. The sound of the enemy dying is a bit buggy, with headphones only sounded on one ear at a time, but nice entry :)
Nice visuals!
The concept is really interesting too. I liked it.
I would love to see some more of your art, do you have an artstation or an instagram account?
Very fun to play, and the graphics are really nice!
It's really hard tho.
One of the most polished entries so far! It is flawless in every aspect. Great job!
Nice one! It is pretty cool to be your first Unity game. Brackeys has saved everyone's life sometime :D
Hope you keep working on it and see you in next Ludum Dare with great entry.
By te way, I tried to beat you but after 60 points it impossible for me :')
Impressive! I love the concept and the general aesthetics, including the music and sounds. It's pretty hard though, I don't last for too long. Feels good to play anyway. Nice one!
Liked the concept a lot very cool idea. The execution is kinda weird, you have to be too precise.
Also some UI was overlapped with the scene. But great game, the artstyle is pretty good :)
