Haha, this is definitely a game for the ultra-determined!
I don't think fighting with controls is a great thing though—I’d suggest simplifying them (at least keeping movement to one plane). The 3D thinking plus reversed controls when the camera flips feels too mind bending for me.
Maybe control hands with mouse by dragging them and can make them freeze to switch between hands, but idk

After reading the comments, I agree the game needs a better tutorial. The key is guiding players to understand your design thinking through simple, structured steps before throwing them into the full experience
That said, this was made during a game jam—it’s completely understandable these polish elements weren’t prioritized. Great work regardless, and good luck if you choose to develop this further!
Omg I was able to tie my laces in the 2nd attempt!!
I will give some feedback just cause I can: THE TUTORIAL SCREEN. Dawgs think of readability, I know the game is suposed to put you in a place of "your body is a mech and you will pilot it" but soome more semblance of order there could help.
Aside from that, excelenteeeee

QhipanReally nice idea and implementation. I was not able to tie a proper butterfly knot, which demonstrates the Centipede's Dilemma perfectly.

Knot or NotIncredible Physics! This is basically already way better than qwop. Great job!

Looping LaddersGonna be honest, this game is amazing
Very cool that the 3D run very well on the page
But I gonna be honest😭 ITs very hard to me make a tie
I suggest three things
1- Let the controls on the tutorial similar with a keyboard, to be more visible
2-A tutorial in-game (instead just in page) could be perfect ro the players understand all 100%
3-Put some Gifs about the gameplay to see how its done the tie
But still a very cool idea of interpretation
Great Job!

BULLET LOOPI think this is the first game I've seen in the jam with this theme, very creative! The controls were too difficult for me though, I only managed to cross the shoelaces before my brain fried trying to figure out the rest haha
Submitted
Path to PlentyThe controls are so so hard, but that's what makes it fun! Nice interpretation of the theme, sorry but I don't have any suggestions for you that haven't already been mentioned by others in the comments. Very good submission though, well done!

In The LoopCool concept, the controls fried my brain a little but i got the hang of it...
... i think.

Cooking for CronosPure evil, but also so much fun! I would love it if the controls could be in-game some way, so I didn't have to change screens constantly! Maybe you could put the keys on each finger, so I know what to press?
Submitted
Loopy TimeGood idea! I had to figure out the controls for a couple of minutes :)
Submitted
The ArachnidAmazing idea. Damn hard to control but that is part of the fun. Nice rope physics!

Time Agent 2: Save the DJNever quite seen a game like this before! Entertaining and challenging, with a simple goal which remained tragically out of reach for me haha. Well done!
Submitted
Broken RecordVery cool idea! Although, I didn't quite understand why you need to control each finger, it seems that one is enough if you have a pin (it's a powerful tool). I really liked the quality of the rope simulation. In the future, I would like to see other levels with simple operations, for example, cooking? Like how to carefully break an egg and drop it on a frying pan or something like that.

Nail RebornI think these kind of games are hilarious and I always have fun with them, even if I can never win, haha.
