A rather unusual and high-quality puzzle.  I really enjoyed playing it, thanks to the developers for the opportunity to try it!

Beat all the levels+secret challenges. Crazy Clock was definitely the craziest out of all of them.

Really fun game, sadly I got stuck on the second bonus level but I had a lot of fun, I enjoyed the timing aspect on some of the later levels as well.

The puzzle design in this one is really neat. I have really enjoyed it. I don't know if I love or hate the fact that it becomes a clicking in the correct timing puzzle, but still really neat game. I have enjoyed even the challenge levels. The 2nd challenge level was it for me, I couldn't solve it. Pretty nice entry and such an interesting concept

Thanks for enjoying my puzzles! And I'm sorry you had to experience that monstrosity of that challenge level I made at 3am

This is the best I've seen so far. Really clever concept with brilliant puzzle design. I surrendered at the second bonus level (after bruteforcing my way into the first one, I imagine there was another way to solve it rather than mashing my mouse) but it  really got me hooked. With the amount of polish I can easily see this as a full game with a few more levels. The only minor thing that could use some improvement is when the scale is squashed and it glitches a bit. Very well done!

Thanks for enjoying my puzzles! There is actually a way to beat bonus 1 without mashing the mouse through an unintended method that wasn't discovered until yesterday. Sorry for making you mash your mouse like that, but I'm glad you enjoyed the game!

Very clever puzzle design and absolutely beautiful artistically.  The combination of simple interactions and small levels with a really in-depth complexity from sequencing makes your puzzles strong but not unsolvable.  I did run into some small issues where sometimes my mouse seemed to stop responding to clicks on the blocks (and yet, the pause button always worked); weird unless I failed to understand a mechanic.  Regardless though, really nicely done!

You could put this on Steam and I wouldn't bat an eye. Great music, visuals, and sound effects. The falling mechanics are a little unintuitive, but you get used to them quickly. Great job all around!

Wow, this game is ridiculously well put together. It feels like something that could just be a released game. Super well done, super well polished. Great mix of puzzles between planning ones and timing based ones. Only feedback is a little bit of jank on the physics that makes the timing puzzles a bit annoying sometimes. Great game though!
