The sound effects, camera shake, and pixel art are incredibly satisfying. The concept is fantastic. It has become one of my favorite jam games.

Robo FisherThe concept is nice and the game feels good to play. I like this style of game where there are simple mechanics but complex puzzles. And it's also very speedy, which I really like in games. I really wish there were more levels. Great job. Love it.

Mechanical MadnessThe robustness of the system is what really strikes me it's like Pac-Man (or with gates, perhaps Exidy's Mouse Trap is more accurate including the squareness of the player icon resembling mousetrap's Dog) + Baba Is You because you've got to think about the implications of the levers and there's even an implication for what happens when you smack head-on into the one-way arrow, like a sub-language of ramifications had to worked out and that's some fine business right there.
And that's the kind of thing that gets perfect marks from me, and I did that, and gave you an itch follow.
If you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.
Cheers!

Maxwell's ApprenticeSo nice polished game, every move feels incredible, gameplay is very catchy cause control is simple and intuitive but level design is great, so its very solid. Good job!

HypnodartsReally cool game! The graphic design looks great, and the animations/VFX make every movement feel super satisfying. I liked the main movement mechanic a lot, it’s simple to understand but still gives the levels a nice puzzle feel. The extra challenge of going for the 3 lightning bolts is a great touch too, because it makes you want to replay levels. Maybe a few more levels or extra mechanics would make it even better, but overall this is really polished. Good job!
Also, if you have time, I’d be really grateful if you could rate my Mini Jam game too: /jam/mini-jam-214-machines/rate/4750260

Scrap Protocol: Out of Handooo This is really cool!, i love the visuals and the juice/vfx were really good! my only complaint is that maybe the base mechanic is too derivative of tomb of the mask but really that doesnt matter great job!

JankyRobotEscapadesDude, the juice on this is unreal. The sound effects were so good and modulating by how far you swing made it feel so physical.
Taking control out of our hands was an interesting interpretation, it's a simple premise but you've managed to take it super far. It feels like it could've been a nitrome game, it's super SUPER polished. Wouldn't be surprised at all if this won.
The level design was genuinely clever and having a 'complete' vs 'perfect' paradigm left a lot of space for different play styles and replayability. I didn't want to set this one down.

Helpings Hands Incoof, this is a JUICY game to play. holy moly, it feels so good to move around! The puzzles are all awesome, not too hard to just get out of the level, but adding that extra challenge to get 3 lightning bolts is great! My one piece of feedback is I would have loved some more levels with more mechanics, you could do some really awesome stuff with other silly mechanics. GREAT game and I really enjoyed playing it!!!

Gillian's GetawayVery satisfying to play, and level design is interesting. Well done, very solid game! <3

Leaving Han D.Now this is audio design. Outstanding, it makes every keypress feels amazing. Love how brisk you keep the puzzling here. Only constructive criticism I can offer is that hitting a forcefield gate sitting offscreen and resetting the level doesn't feel terrific. It could simply bounce the player back unless I'm mistaken? Still, that's minor. This was very good and I wish it was longer!
