I love the color palette with the dark purples and oranges and pink (might even steal it for later hehe). The art is sooo solid. And the puzzles are fun too.

Three. Two. One. SeekI loved this game a lot. The only thing I wished it had was a hint if I really really got stuck on getting the timings right

Broadcast BangAbsolutely incredible! The art is lovely, and the audio very relaxing. The puzzles work really well. Even when they’re not hard, they are so satisfying to see unfold. And the last levels are just difficult enough, experimenting with this system is really fun. Kudos for the UX by the way, you’d think a game relying on physics would be difficult to manipulate but everything is always clear, and it allows to explore different solution very fast. I enjoyed very much my time on it!

CriTickal HeatThe art looks amazing! I really love physics-based games—they're so much fun! While I was looking for a hint in one of the later levels, I realized I could select any level, so I ended up beating the later levels first! 😂

You've been poisonedThe art caught my eyes immediately, and the level designs are so good. This has to be a jam winner!

Punches Incoming!What a well made game!! Every level felt so nice to solve.
The idea is really simple but it's very well executed. And to top it off it looks gorgeous. This easily became one of my favorites.

Watch my Clock!This was very good, almost every puzzle had an aha! moment and the game felt very smooth when it executed the solutions, loved it. Btw I think I solved the last level in an unintended way, I only used 3 explosive bombs

Finger TwisterThanks !! We knew that some levels would have "unintended" solutions especially on the last level, we kinda made the game to let players find their own solutions but i wasn't thinking that it was possible with only three bombs it makes me curious about your solution :) but congrats for this and thank you for playing !!
Great puzzle game, love the visual style. One suggestion would be to let players step backwards a second at a time rather than resetting. There are many moments where the player has already had the puzzle's "aha" moment, but just needs to trial-and-error the exact timing. These might be only 10 second lulls, but it adds up and just means a small proportion of the player's play time is engaging with the best part of the solve.

Sour Tin Racingomfg the art style is perfect!! i love the little transition too
the puzzles were really satisfying! i feel like either the 9th or 10th puzzle i really just kinda winged it but made it in anyways xD amazing work, i really love this one.
sound design was also super satisfying

Just Five More Minutezzz Please!AN ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR GAME! I am a big fan of this galaxy devourer and its butterflies. Puzzles are always my jam, and this game does not disappoint; the last one's got a real creative solution behind it. The physics feel top-notch and perfectly calculated. The art... MAN THE ART IS ADORABLE! I'm a sucker for hand-drawn, and this aesthetic is checking all the right boxes! That and the music give me major Planet Coaster vibes in the best way possible.
Overall, an absolute GEM. Feels like it's only a couple more level sets and a few more bomb types from being a full-fledged game!

Blasttella: Bug Defusalpeak game, the idea is really unique and implements the theme best out of any game so far. the art style is also really clean and has so much style. however, i did spend a while on the last minigame because there's a bug where there's a mismatch of numbers between how many bombs it says you have and actually have, so i didnt know i had a black hole bomb. still beat it though. all of the puzzles are a good difficulty.

Memory LayneReally good and super polished game! :0 Insane what you managed in the given time :D
Was a bit lost at the very start where exactly i can place stuff (the constellations as colliders where not clear to me) but this only took like 5 seconds to figure out ;D
But otherwise, the puzzles, art, animations, audio everything is really solid. Good Job! :D
