Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.

How does your game fit the theme?
To control the characters, you record a starting set of inputs, which are then repeated over and over. In this way, you "just get started" as they continue on their own.

This is a fun puzzle game! It was a bit tricky at times, and I liked how new elements were introduced to keep things interesting.

Submitted

The art, music, and gameplay are all great! This game is really fun! I'm not sure what the how that I got meant but overall this game is fantastic!

Submitted

Hey love a sokoban type beat or whatever its called. Loved the music and sfx. 

Submitted

This was a really interesting puzzle game! Really unique idea! Great art as well!

Submitted

really nice puzzle game!! the tutorial is well explained, the gameplay kept getting difficult little by little and the mechanics were so fun

i appreciate that you can check the solution for a specific puzzle, so you dont get stuck

Submitted

THIS is the type of puzzle game that i strive to make. Every single level has that "deceptively simple but really tricky" feeling. I can tell that a lot of thought and care went into this one. The gameplay/ui is slick. The puzzles are open ended and has replayability due to the rating system. The quality of life features are good. The transitions are clean. The level of polish here is unmatched. Also extra points for giving the ideal solution for each stage! (i dont think i can even beat level 15 without it hahah) Deserves the max rating

Um wow incredible work on this. It's super polished, I love all the attention to detail with the menus and the buttons. I love the little star the level gets when you 'perfect' it. Amazingly polished game for just 10 days wow. I love the simple style too, the art is very consistent. Oh and super well-made puzzles that are challenging and introduce new mechanics slowly, but at the same time easy to understand what you have to do. Well done!

Submitted

I really like your game, good job!

Submitted

Really like the overall style and the experience! Liked puzzle games so much and this one is no exception. Great Work!

Very nice polish to the game! The color palette fits the retro vibe SO well. I found some of the sfx to be a bit harsh on the ears - especially the mouse click that shows you have to click on the character. This might be more of a personal preference, but for such a simple game mechanically, I would have liked to see a very simple UI layout. When you finish a level many buttons pop up on the screen with varying text sizes and layouts. I felt it a bit cluttered for how retro a feel this game is.

But those small things aside, this is a top tier entry for a game jam! Very impressive you were able to scale to so many levels in such a short amount of time. You must have really designed the code and structure of the game well for you to be able to create so many options! Good job dude!

Amazing game!! The puzzles are really cool and had me scratching my head at times lol. The only levels I had to check solutions for were 5 and 15. The art style is super nice (a little similar to my game's art style lol) Overall, a really good game!!

Submitted

Amazing puzzles! Simple yet hard af. Loved the conjunction of a simple art style with the challenging puzzles.. some of the levels were really hard and made me think 5 steps ahead!

Submitted

really nice game, super unique concept and cute artstyle

Submitted

wow this is addictive. The music, the graphics and the gameplay come together so well. Love it!

Amazing puzzle game!

The idea is really creative and really well implemented. I was a little lost at first on how the game works, but, after some trial and error, I understood it and it became quite fun.

The music is great. Calm and doesn't get on your nerves even when you are wracking your brain over the puzzle and maybe a bit frustrated. I find that to be a great thing for a puzzle game to have.

The fact that you made working saves is also a great plus, specially for a game jam game.

My main suggestion is that the game could use a detailed tutorial on the beginning to let the player understand how the mechanic of looping moves and steps work.

All in all, great work!

Submitted

Cool game and really hard

Submitted

This is a very fun and clever puzzle game. Was genuinely wracking my brain to try and solve some of these puzzles, but I was definitely hooked.

Submitted

It took me a bit to understand how the controls work, but it is a very interesting and challenging puzzle game!
I can see this turning into a game with speed-run challenges where the player needs to use as few steps as possible.

Submitted

I didn't really understand how this worked until looking at the spoiler for level 2, after that i was hooked.
