This game is amazing, i feel like its a gold standard for level design. Level design has never been my strongest suite but how you introduce mechanics and challenge the player gradually is perfect. the mechanic itself is very unique and honestly with some ui polish and a custom level maker i can definitely see this as a nice mobile game many people would enjoy kinda like geometry dash. Well done!
