How does your game fit the theme?
Our little house cat, Gunther, always has to return to the same tile he started the lap from in order to complete the level, making the whole thing one big, and oftentimes confusing loop. Also, there's loop-ception with small loops being part of the big loop.

Really cool game, loved having to play Twister with my fingers in order to progress, though I think it can get pretty difficult to tell where platforms are in terms of elevation, and you get punished for not moving platforms in time way too early, in my opinion. I really enjoy the process of getting to the end, but it's just a little bit punishing and feels a little unfair in some situations.

Oh man that hurt my brain, super cool idea! I definitely had a few levels I couldn't do just due to limited keyboard inputs, in particular the one with just the 2 shift keys kept getting one or the other stuck, but I managed a lot. This was an awesome idea, with really clever levels. Well done!

Super unique and original idea! The game is really polished, the puzzles are fun and require hand eye coordination. At some point I got my fingers tangled up and couldn't untangle them. 10/10

Game was really fun and cute :3

When changing the keyboard layout to Azerty, the key's display changes, but, the original displays are correct not the changed one, it doesn't make the game impossible, just much harder sometimes uwu

oops!! will test that functionality more after the jam hahaha, thank you for pointing it out!

Very cute style, love how this is all a part of the characters dream. The mechanic of holding down multiple keys was pretty cool, I've only seen that a few times before. Some of the difficulty for me was more about holding down the keys than knowing which keys to hold down though. It could be better for us to just toggle keys as opposed to holding them. All in all, very cool game and I hope you're proud of the incredible name you guys came up with!

The game has great level design and cute graphics. It's the first time I've seen a puzzle game where the direction and height of the roads can be changed with different keys. I'm curious to know where this brilliant idea came from.

Wow, this one is so good and polished! bravo!

I loved this! Such a great concept, and executed with a high degree of polish! I thought it was going to be easy, but from like the 4th level onwards I was playing Twister with my fingers to keep up. Really great job! :)

Creative idea, insane level of polish and huge number of very different levels!!

ok, I made it to "all for on", until my keyboard definitely surrendered. the sixth key was not possible.
A possibility to remap letters would be a nice addition. pressing both shift keys was also locking one of them for me.

but I really enjoyed the challenges. somehow I want some tuna now …

Developer

The shift issue is most likely a web-build issue, but yes, a remapping option is a great idea :) will keep it in mind for after the jam!

This was great and very oddly satisfying. The art is charming and the music is an absolute banger, easily my favorite soundtrack from this year's jam!
