This game is so creativity. Not jump over gap like another traditional video game. You can instead bend those levels. Wonderful.

Repeating Rumble[GMTK2025]pretty cool but honestly I don't wanna deal with it to get through all the levels lol.
I kinda wish the banjo music had more variation to make it more interesting... also the difficulty spike feels- kinda way too rough from like 3 to 4 and onward. soo.
nice job but I lack the patience today XD

Looping DungeonWhat a great game, simple yet polished. I gotta say, theres a chance your game deserved #1 creativity more than mine! So good

Mycelium MayhemWow! Such a clever puzzle game! The idea of bending the world is truly unique and made me use parts of my brain I don’t usually tap into. The difficulty felt just right, and I especially enjoyed the level where I fell through a hole and landed straight at the goal — so satisfying!

12s Sync & StackAbsolutely mindBENDing! Hands down the most creative game I've seen so far!
Wasn't able to get past Level 7 though :(

Getting Over Them with EvoleoWow! This game is absolutely amazing. Such a clever puzzle game generally, but also fits the theme spectacularly. I loved it. Great work.

Retro MortisGreat game, it's a neat concept and the difficulty was well balanced (struggled a bit with the last two levels but they were never frustrating, just tricky). Would be curious to see how you'd expand on the level design and any new mechanics!
My one note would be that the geometric aesthetic of the art doesn't seem super cohesive with the story of a guy trapped in a cursed banjo dimension. Seems like it should a more mystical vibe (maybe something along the lines of the old Doctor Strange comics, or the magical bits of The Princess and the Frog Disney movie, but you could go in a lot of directions with it, so whatever you like). It would help a lot with the immersion.
Had a lot fun tho, great work!

Astro LoopAbsolutely amazing idea and execution!
Such a winning concept! I have no idea how you came up with this, nor how you made it, but I'm super impressed.
Well done! You should be proud! :D

Looped TapesBroke my head a little bit (that's the point of the game xd), but very enjoyable!
Actually funny also. I really like how the banjo sounds.

The Long Way AroundReally awesome puzzles, I loved bending space and rolling it up like a piece of paper to solve the different levels. Definitely one of the most unique game ideas I have seen this jam. Keep it up!
