I like the art, but the game itself is too complex without a guide xd

I'm really impressed by the fact that you managed to implement this whole game during jam. It's so smart and engaging - you need multiple iterations to figure things out, but you doesn't get bored, because every time you can discover something new. Great job!

No MouseTakesThis is really clever. I had to spend a lot of time to figure out what's happening though maybe more hints would have been aprreciated or maybe i'm just dumb.

Loopini's RestaurantReally cool idea, like if “Little Alchemy” was a puzzle game! (I did seem to find myself blowing things up a lot by accident.) Love the email system as a lore distribution mechanism.

Out of the LoopLove the puzzle sandbox approach! Good mechanics, keeps us guessing and engaged. Sorry Gary!

RHYTHM.RUNthis was such an interesting idea! i'm sure there are so many more object interactions i didn't find, can't imagine all the thought that went into those interactions. very cool!

Rise and RepeatLove the idea of randomly generating objects and how it is different for each player, reminds me of old minesweeper in a way, bravo!

THE WORLD IS ALWAYS ENDING.Very creative, but it was super confusing playing with a different layout than QWERTY :) maybe something to consider in the future. Good job nonetheless!

Love ThreadI managed to get halfway. It's an intriguing idea with not a lot of obvious results. Interactions left vague and the constraints not really made obvious. Beyond spamming the reset key, I'm not really sure how the "loop" plays into things. I did quite like the organic reveal of some things as you placed them down, just not enough interesting scenarios were born naturally out of the objects - which feels like it should have been the first priority. Very creative and plays well for its concept on a fundamental level.

Loop it, Cupid!The randomized keys comes from the thought of could it be interesting to have everyone's controls be different and the player has to learn and discover them. Where two players couldn't just say here's the route and use q->e->w to solve it. You still have the oh use bomb->this->that, but the player has to discover the buttons themselves. We really just wanted to see what that would be like and experiment a little.
Clicking on keys would be problematic with how it's currently implemented since most things spawn at the cursor, but we could have made it work, and wouldn't be a bad idea to have. Thanks for playing!
