Nice way to spin the theme! This was a really fun puzzle game and I like the vibes. Reminds me of the old flash game days.

Amazing work! Just finished the game and was craving more levels.
The puzzles were so much fun and made the gameplay feel diverse, all while matching the theme perfectly!

The HomeworkI liked it. In just 10 levels, you were able to properly showcase many interesting mechanics for the looping path premise. It was honestly fun, so props to you for creating this in such short time.

Almost Done...Floor VII was my favorite! I really enjoyed this game and appreciate the attention to detail and wanting to give the players a smooth difficulty curve and lots of extra information to ensure that the puzzle was as easy to understand as possible!

What We Left BehindLove the idea for the puzzles! Great aesthetics and I really like the gnome sounds as he falls haha. As for other nit-picky things that dont really matter rn because it's a game jam, i wish i can back track a little bit instead of full resetting my path. Nice submission! Good job.

Webster BoosterYou nailed the retro look of this game, this is probably one of my favorite looking games so far. Mechanically, this was super unique and very interesting. I think where this game excels is in the level design, you do a good job of interesting mechanics and putting them to use in interesting ways. My one wish is that there were more levels especially utilizing the mechanics introduced later in the game. I feel like there's a lot of room for complex and very challenging puzzles.
All in all, congrats on submitting, and fantastic job!

GMTK 2025 : Eco ReactorVery good game. Fits the theme, good and different level mechanics, the art is also good and the x3 option shows how they thought of making a good experience. One of the best i've played to this moment (almost 10 games)

Arcade CircuitReally awesome little puzzle game! I could see something like this being really cool with some additional tile types and puzzles! Needing to end where you started was a really clever way to use the theme, but also make the puzzles more in depth as you don't only need to figure out what path works once, but what path is the most structurally sound. Awesome work! :)
