How does your game fit the theme?
In order to complete a level you have to make a loop, touching a number of runes. It was originally inspired by graph theory and the Konigsberg Bridge problem, mixed in with my favourite platformers.

(Optional) Please credit all assets you've used
I used some code from other PICO-8 games including Celeste and the BBS to implement a few handy utilities.

Woooooo! A really good execution of the theme and the audio and art are top-notch. Solid all 5s from me!!

Brought back a lot of good memories. Feedback is the jump could be relative to how long I used to press the button. If you truly want to emulate the Game Boy advanced vibes. But overall I loved it. Five stars for everything.

Well-executed game that looks great. I had a good time playing it though I think the difficulty ramped up a bit too fast. Otherwise it was a lot of fun.

Thanks for playing! I definitely agree on teh difficulty haha.

The combination of many moving portals and the flexible order of connecting them gives rise to some emergent scenarios, which is very cool. I had some near-miss action scenarios with lasers, which didn't feel like the intended solution AND was very fun the go through.  I also really like the frog character and their speech, it's very cute and funny. I'm unfortunately a victim of the soft-lock eternal imprisonment at the lair of wizard but I really had fun playing it :)

Nooo! The soft-lock is fixed for the post-jam haha. I agree on the emergent scenarios, I didn't expect that when I started designing it. Would be curious to see how other people solve the levels.

Very cool game idea and well executed!  Also love the little frog animations. The jump puzzles are tough as heck. Anyway great job!
