Clever twist on a classic puzzle style! The audio fits perfectly, and the wait feature came in handy more than once. Tight margin for error makes it challenging but satisfying. Great job!
Nice game! I realy love all the little animations and sound effects!
This is just extremely clever puzzles. I think the only minor annoying thing is when you have a multi loop setup and you mess it up you need to do like 3 loops over again so a reset to previous loop would've been handy, but this is well good, great work.
Nice puzzle game. I don't think I have any real criticisms towards it (it's really a simple, but well rounded game). Congrats on creating this in such short time 👍
The art style and movement gave me Baba Is You vibes, great puzzle game!
Very cool concept and an impressive amount of challenging levels!
Quite fun. I needed a few tries to figure everything out, and it was quite intuitive.

Loved the concept, mechanics like wait and the undo button were also very helpful!

Definitely a neat little puzzle game! The undo button was definitely a great choice to add, especially on the 6th main level. It took me a while to set everything up and then I botched the ending, thankfully that mechanic is there to aid in that!.. If only I noticed beforehand, whoops. Admittedly I also ended up using the wait function a lot, the room for error isn't that big in most cases. Also, the audio is very well done. Other than that, it's a neat spin on a classic puzzle game!
Cool and very polished puzzle game! Overall the game is great, but there's too much repetition and artificial slowing down:
1) on level T2 you have to push the boxes really far. And you gotta do this twice. Personally, I realized the concept of blocks & buttons from the first glance, and it took me so long to implement my understanding and complete the level. I'd try to shorten the distance and check if it's possible to have only 1 box;
2) the level 8 is symmetrical, and after beating one half I had no interest in doing the other;
3) often you need to wait until the end of the loop because you're going to do a long stretch next cycle. Consider implementing so that you can hold Space for 0.5s and the actions will be decreasing very quickly.
Again, the game is pretty darn good, these are just suggestions to hopefully make it better!
We are updating it after the jam to include the wait function QoL's and hold movements, but thank you for the feedback!
Pretty solid game! The puzzles are cool and well thought out, and it's impressive how many you were able to develop for the jam. It was also a good decision to include an unrestricted level select so that people can go back to a particular level if they refresh the page or come back to it.
I feel like the first two puzzles could have been discarded because they don't really teach you anything that the third tutorial doesn't. Also, pressing space until your moves are up while you're in the pink zones is effectively the same as regaining your moves and resetting any objects not in the pink zone, so pressing it more than once felt a bit tedious.
Nice take on the sokoban genre! Good sound effects and nice job introducing the mechanics. I had a good time tackling the puzzles!
Baba is you with extra steps. Great use of the theme for interesting mechanics and 30 levels. Great job!
Loved the puzzles, and the 'Chrono zones', really cool game!
cute retro style and loved the puzzles, really fun to play!
Damnnnn great idea. Loved the concept of timer and chrono zones, Intuitive puzzle design it was. Overall loved it. Great work. Keep it up. Would appreciate if you rate my game too.
I will soon, I am busy at the moment. Thank you for the kind words.
Great stuff! A very well made game with some clever level design. A great piece of work.
fun little game
