This is my favourite entry this jam. Very well made and polished. Difficulty progression is great, easy to start and just the right amount of challenge at the end. Great job, hard to come up with something you could improve.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Wow this one was really impressive! You had me swinging back and forth from "this is too hard only a genius could solve this" to "...and that genius IS ME!!!" every minute or so. The levels that had rotation also scratched a brain itch, the feeling of everything rotating around and eventually clicking into place was super satisfying. I think is this my favorite game I've played this jam, awesome work!
Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you had fun with the puzzles!
I was really impressed by how clear you made the mechanics with just the UI, you don’t need a tutorial you can just jump into playing. The animation that plays when you’re swapping the little guys was so satifisfying, I tapped the button along with the music while I was thinking of how to solve each level. Really cool puzzle game!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked the animations and the puzzles!
Def good Job, I like how intuitive and easy to pick up your game it.
Thanks, making it easy to play was definitely one of my priorities!
Definitely the most unique take I've seen on the theme this jam. The puzzles are well designed - simple mechanically but reward visualisation and planning over brute force, just like a Rubik's cube. Great execution on the concept!
Thanks! I wanted this game to give some of the fun of figuring out Rubik's cubes, but without the extreme difficulty (I used tutorials to solve the cube lol). Glad you enjoyed it!
I felt like I could see the plan and then execute it. Great puzzle game!
Thanks!
easily one of the best games ive played
one of the best takes on "mutation" , i never expected something like PERmutation to come up
dont really have much else to say you cooked here, this game's basically all ready to be uploaded as a final polished product
Thanks for playing it! I definitely wanted to try a more unique take on the theme.
Really great look and overall vibes, I wish I was better at these types of puzzles, but I tried my best haha! Nice and easy controls / ui that made it super smooth to jump right in and get playing! Nice work!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Easy controls and readable UI were priorities for me going into this jam, so I'm happy they worked out!
This was great! The last level took me a bit, but I finally got it. The style was fun, something about the animation and sound reminded me of Yoshi's Island. Nicely done
Thanks! The last level is definitely the trickiest–it's hard to wrap your head around the way the two circles move at the same time. I had to figure it out again each time I tested it lol.
I can definitely see the similarities with Yoshi's Island, too!
Really cool puzzle game! I loved the little guys and the cycling mechanic for sure, definitely stumped me a bit and got me thinking for sure! Played for longer than I intended cause I was having so much dang fun!
Thanks for playing it! I'm glad you had fun with it!
A unique take on the theme, the game is intuitive and easy to understand! Good puzzle game!
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it!
Great puzzle game! The aesthetics are really cute. Good job!
Thanks!
Nice game!
Thanks for playing!
One level and you already understand it, I love that, super useful tutorial. Amazing how you interpreted the them, very original. The gameplay is very cozy.
Congrats!
Thanks! I'm glad the tutorial worked well to teach the mechanics, that's something I was worried about during testing.
Cool little puzzle game. Very addictive. I like the art style.
Thanks!
What a unics take on the theme. You made some really great level. The best is you kinda can solve them all with few move, but it’s not always visible at first. Very good puzzle game
Thanks for playing it! I definitely had a lot of fun thinking of puzzle designs, glad you enjoyed them!
This was very cute I really liked the art, music and the challenge. It really made me think!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
This was a really fun game, I absolutely love the hand drawn animated wobbly line style!
Thanks for playing it, I'm glad you loved the art!
I really like how I just clicked random buttons first level and got it. Then instantly knew what I had to do for every level after no tutorial needed. Pretty good game and the pixel art style is super cute. I suck at puzzle games to no fault of your own and so I only got to level 7. Help ;-;
Thanks for playing it! I'm glad the mechanics made sense, I was worried that it was confusing.
The secret for level 7 is to solve 2 white and 2 yellow pieces, then you can solve the rest by lining them up in the middle. :)
