I like that it isn't unnecessarily long, and being able to move the platforms allows for interesting platforming opportunities, which is quite nice

Nice job on the game, I like that you take the theme of the game and combined it the puzzle platformer genre. 

The simplicity of it makes it easy to follow, but a little sounds effects can improve the game by a bit  maybe in a future update :D

Hey! This was a fun take on the loop mechanic. I especially liked how I had a choice in the levels to either solve it in the least number of platform moves or move the platform a lot to make the jumping a bit easier. Props to you for completing a game in your time constraints! Happy GMTK Jam!

Hi! Pretty solid mechanic! Even without music and sounds, I still had fun with this platformer!

It was nice to move platforms and decide how to go through the level. Also, nice physics!

Looks and plays great - a nice concept reminds me of Super Mario Maker placing down pieces to help you get across and build a level, it's got a nice feel there.

I feel like the looping part was forced because there was no way to beat the level at first and then the theme was dropped after the first level.

There is definately something here and feel like more exploration would yield some awesome results, well done!

Yeah, you're right. I kind of rely on the player to make mistake on the first try each level, maybe miscalculation or misplaced the platform, to stick to LOOP theme. But thanks, this concept is really something that I'd like to explore more.

What a charming concept! There's a lot of potential here being able to move the platforms whilst jumping xD
