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.

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!

Chief Executive OrganismI 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!

Testing Mutant Neonatal TurtlesDefinitely 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!

Mutagen ArenaI felt like I could see the plan and then execute it. Great puzzle game!

Dead ShardsWhat 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

ULTRA ILLEGAL MUTATED SNAIL RACEI 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 ;-;
