I hope this doesn't come up weird, but this game shook me up. I've been too preoccupied with how to make games that I forgot how to even have fun. I played this game and found that it is the opposite of the idea of "games" I had in mind. I had a blast, and for that, I thank you guys.

This is probably the best game of the jam! Gorgeous art and style, great music and sound, but most importantly – a very entertaining and well-executed idea. I was genuinely sad when the levels ended; I would have played this much longer!
Thank you!
UPD: I forgot to write - I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU DRAWN A WHOLE INTRODUCTORY COMIC, IT'S SO COOL!!!
Really cool physics game with some pretty great art too. I liked that the puzzles could be solve in a lot of different ways, and you don't even need to use every tool at your disposal. I think only used all the letters in two of the levels. In the last level I noticed that I could use the A to clip through the walls, but because of the way the game is presented, it didn't feel like cheating or unintentional.
I can't praise this enough! Really well made, reminded me of the incredible machine! Great work!
Rich art, game mechanics, and physics effects, but the levels are a bit difficult.
I liked the concept of trial and error with the letters and it felt satisfying once you found the solution. Good job!
Wowzers! Super fun! I love the art on the letters. I felt like a genius once I figured out how to use the letters. I was disappointed when it was over so soon as I felt like I was just starting to learn how to use the letters. XD
Great entry!
Great idea of manipulating letters and a unique art style! For me, it was unclear what ability has letters and where will go the ball. And I think I used some letters not for what they planned to be=) Nice work!
Fun mechanics, art is excellent, I love the intro and the presentation! It might have benefited from having a line that shows where the ball is going to go, like in pool games - or remove the power build up mechanic entirely, and/or be able to set a consistent power for the eye in the beginning! The game relies on lining up letters perfectly to solve the puzzle, kinda like building your own Rube Goldberg machine.
We wanted to incentivize trial and error rather than lining the perfect shot from the beginning, but I could see your idea turning into a different and very adictive game as well! Rube Goldberg machines are awesome, I wish we could have done bigger levels to convey that feeling more in depth. Thank for playing and the feedback!
So creative!
I like the amount of different features with each monster. Great job on that!
Though it's hard to really solve the puzzles at least for me.
I am sure that the most of them I solved not the way it was meant and it's a good part. But it's really hard to think ahead. It's more like "just try different things until it works".
But the art is cool 💛
The game is designed in a way that you don't need every letter for every level. Each player will find their own solutions to the puzzle, which sparks creativity and gives freedom to move away from letters that you don't like or understand. I would recomend playing it again with that mindset! On the other hand, the T only appears in the first level, so with a bit of effort you wouldn't need to see it ever again. Cheers!
So adorable art. Great job. Gameplay is interested as well but a little bit hard, i completed first level but it was 100% random) XD
