How does your game fit the theme?
Mr.Sumo needs to connect with the Weights to pick them up and finish levels. But there are obstacles which he must overcome using the weights cleverly while trying to reach the target weight. He must analyze the paths and connections he can make to finish each level.

Interesting idea, and you managed to get quite a bit out of it. Well done :).

Paired OffCreative spin on the theme, and a unique puzzler! Having to ferry weights over jumps and use weights as platforms were my favorite solutions. I also appreciate how the heavier your character is, the harder it is to jump, so you can't be too greedy with the weights. My one critique is that the controls felt a bit unwieldy at times - sometimes I would figure out the solution, but couldn't actually execute it without some struggle. Even so, I had fun with this and appreciated the unique take on the theme!

World FlutistThe way Mr Sumo moves is pretty satisfying with the weight and speed etc. I think it would have added to the fun if there was music and some funny SFX or something but good job for coming up with this, it's a unique interpretation of the theme!

Lost In TransmissionGood idea and I liked the sumo guy, haha. I was a little confused at first with the pickup mechanic because I was holding down shift before touching the weights thinking it was going to make me a magnet or something. Didn't realize I needed to press while touching, haha. Besides that, cool game and good idea!

Puppet QuestGreat job! Very smart to use weights that you need on yourself in order to complete the level as a platforms. Turns this into some kind of physics-based puzzle game. Wish there was sound.

Moles TotalisYou did an absolutely brilliant job ramping up the difficulty on this. I even forgot about jumping three or four levels in until it was necessary. Just really clever. A couple were a little easy -- I finished one 400kg over -- but still good design.

Dungeon UnropeThe movement and the puzzle in this game are really smart, and I liked bouncing around as my sumo guy. I think the controls could use some work (Q and left shift felt hard to get to) but I'd love to see where this one goes.

Me and My MonsterInteresting concept! Close to Katamari but with a twist that gives the player some additional control, I enjoyed the challenge c:

FlockboundI thought it was an interesting concept. I think you could add more mechanics, such as a way for the sumo to be forced into dropping his weights. Fun game though!!!

Jumbled ConnectionFairly well executed game wit ha straightforward concept. The controls were a little too floaty for my likings but overall I had fun with this. I think the difficulty could have increased a little faster and require you to use the placing of weights sooner.

Sync-De-SyncThis is an interesting game. It's cool to see someone else implement the mechanic of having things stick to the player. I'm a little curious about the technicals of how you pulled it off, because my solution (using Godot) was kinda messy.
I'd like to see the trade-off of more weights making you more difficult to maneuver explored further. As it is, there's no incentive to go above the minimum requirement, so the best strategy is to stick with the minimum required (plus what's needed to make platforms). It would be interesting to see some sort of reward for having more weights than needed at the end.

Sticky MissionI love Katamari games so his was right up my alley. Using the weights as platforms was a really fun mechanic too.

Space FlingWhat a pleasant surprise. Good job in exploiting Unity's weird physic system to make a fun game :D Graphics & audio could use some polishing of course, but what's there works perfectly fine. Great stuff!
