Newbie?
Yes - I'm new to game jams!
How does your game fit the theme?
The twist mechanic is used to start nearby gadgets.

The art is sooooo good! the wind up mechanic for jumping and interacting is really fun too
Solid mechanic, very short. This could definitely be expanded into a full title. Good job (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
this is a solid first game and a good theme interpretation for starting the toy. enjoyed the entire game. this idea can be expanded into different types of levels, especially if they're more on the puzzle side, which was my favorite part.
welcome to the world of game jams and please make more games!
the jumping mechanic was very creative! and the platformer as a whole was quite cool! also i really liked the color scheme, great submission!
Fun short platformer.
I'm not quite sure you mentioned it anywhere, but I discovered that you can right-mouse-click to release the wind-up immediately and jump, which is how I beat the last platforming challenge.
Although I find the mechanic creative, I think the 2-part jump feels very hard to control and does not fit into the sort of higher speed conveyor belt and pace of the game. If it was a chiller, slower platforming game more focused on puzzles then I could see it fit better.
Pretty creative mechanic and nice art! congrats on your first jam!
The music and art are amazing! I wish there was a different way to start your jump because right clicking was annoying. It's a great concept and was fun!
The jumping mechanic was really cool! The font was a little hard to read (like other's have mentioned), and the mechanic of jumping early by pressing right mouse button wasn't very clearly informed (unless I just missed it). Fun to play though, with a nice amount of challenge.
The visuals in your game are really stunning. I love the art style, it's super cute and very cohesive. I wish you could have put more content in, it's begging to be a great puzzle game. I guess I don't understand the difference between the conveyers that switch direction when you wind up and the ones that don't. Also I somehow missed that you could right-click to jump early, which solves my only real issue with the mechanics haha! I loved the way you could wind up to remotely active stuff, that was a very clever idea. Would love to see more levels!
Really cool game.
I really like the rigid color palate, reminded me of playing on my Gameboy back in the day haha
The font was a little hard to read though, and I got stuck after the tutorial level.
The game felt well made, and had an interesting and unique jumping mechanic that I haven't seen before
Nice job ^.^
Oh and you should add a cover image and some screenshots, so people can see what your game looks like in the feed!
