Great visuals, great music, very cool pixel art. The puzzles where too hard, but I think that's me.
The rewind mechanics/visuals was great!!

Thank you for the kind words! It can be a bit hard don't worry!
Solid entry, loved the mechanics, its very polished, but I do have to “deduct” points I guess because I feel like the difficulty spikes are too steep, a new mechanic is introduced every other level and with only 11 levels I feel it doesn’t give enough time for the player to get well accustomed to them before moving on to the next mechanic. Also the maps felt sometimes a bit too needlessly large.
Aside all that, good entry. Keep it up!
The team appreciates the feedback. :) It's always tricky to introduce and balance the mechanics in a jam; we value the critique, thanks so much for playing! :D
Insanely good game. So much potential for more levels or different types of spins. My only critique is that there seems to be some inconsistency between some of the art styles? But that might just be the aesthetic you were going for so I won't count it against the game. I found it a little hard to visualize exactly what was going on when one spin could effect multiple objects at once, so I ended up doing a lot of trial and error to complete the levels (even with the arrows indicating where they will move). So, I appreciated the easy undo button :)

Thank you for playing! It was too harsh without the undo button haha :P
You've absolutely smashed this, no notes! Great work everyone!!
Thank you!
i love it so much! The farts were great
Thank you! We love the farts!
I love this! I must say I'm pretty dumb, but the game is surprisingly easy when you get the hang of it and get into the flow of the game. Not bad at all! And don't get me started on the office workers' detail. They start a conversation when they get near each other, or lean away from a stinky person? Those are awesome details! And I'm really concerned about the people who are sick. I mean, it gets to the point where flies fly around them. Hope they get well soon...
Congrats on the submission!!!
I hope the sick ones get well soon too... They're obviously overworked.. like us (haha) Thank you for playing!
Great game. The visuals all look fantastic and its cool how you got so many puzzels from such a simple concept.
Thank you for the kind words!
gg
Thanks so much for playing! 🤩
I really like the UI and overall aesthetic! And VERY serious!
Thank you! It took a while to figure out the UI so I'm glad you like it!
Very neat game with easy directions. Sick music.
Thank you for playing!
It's a pretty polished game actually with a simple premise.
Thank you!
Wow I love the visuals and the mechanics of this it feels polish!! I love how the characters express themselves too. It was fun playing and figuring how ways to make them work. Great job!
Thank you so much! Steve did a great job with the characters, and Colin's FX helped sell the movement too!
This is my personal jam winner - I was engaged the entire time, it was a very kind learning environment with a perfect difficulty ramp and the ability to reset in a puzzle game was *chefs kiss*.
The environment, the art and the music all just made this feel like a game I purchased, and the puzzles made me feel smart. Amazing game and well done to the team for creating this in such a short time.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was very fun to make, and making sure its not too difficult was the hard part haha.
My jaw dropped when the game loaded and I was greeted by this beautiful game submission! The fact that this was made in only a week blows me away. Awesome work!
Thank you for your kind words!
