Neat puzzles. I really like this concept, and the depth that is added from being able to control the platforms.

I found the mechanics pretty interesting, and the game was fun to play. I like how you can bring the goal to you instead of going yourself to it.

I think I found a bug though, as on the last level I managed to squish myself againt the ceiling while having the "right" control, go right, collect "left" control and boom. So, I think you could tweak platform behavior to avoid such things when they are not desired.

Also, moving background messed with my perception, I'd prefer a static one.

Nonetheless, nicely done!

Yeah, that's an unintended bug. I found it myself after the submission period was over. But thanks for reporting it anyways.

I toned down the brightness of the scrolling background image to make it less distracting. But if you say so, I'll consider reworking/removing it in a post jam version.

Thanks for playing.

Really fun puzzle game with a very unique mechanic and really cleverly designed levels! I think that the visuals could do with a bit more polish but the gameplay was amazing. You taught the player new mechanics through your level design and the puzzles were always really satisfying to complete. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed playing the game, great job!
