It's very confusing, but once you see some patterns in the numbers, you can start to solve the puzzles and it's very satisfying. Nice work.

How does your game fit the theme?
Segments are joined together and rotated to solve puzzles. The idea of rotating joined circles is inspired by one of Fourier's contributions to mathematics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6sGWTCMz2k&t=6s

As soon as Fourier was mentioned, I knew this was going to be clever, and I wasn't disappointed. Very simple concept, but enchantingly executed, creating a distinct and cerebral little puzzler. It would be exciting to see if this concept could be developed further! Perhaps having blocks to try and hit with the ball as a bonus objective, and being able to increase the number of segments to allow you to perform more complex transforms. I loved it none-the-less.

Sloops in Spaaaaace!Great game, Stokatyan! This is an excellent idea and executed really well too. The trails make it super easy to understand. It took me a little while to get the mechanic, but once I did I had a lot of fun trying to solve these puzzles. Great work

2 Atoms in a MoleculeA full version of Line Bender is now on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/line-bender/id1598044203 -- expected on it using switches and gates!
Really cool idea! The mechanics are well done, I feel there is a better way to present the rotation of the arms but I can't think of it. The gameplay felt pretty trial and error to me, but I am also not super smart so that could be more on me than the game ;P. Very original idea and well executed, good work

Hi,
I am releasing my Catan inspired deck-building tower defense game to steam soon: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2939570/Tower_Knight/
It is not similar to Line Bender, but you might like it :)

I am literally studying this topic for my next exam xD That's probably one of the coolest concept i have seen here, also very difficult after some levels!

Captain TegaThis is superb, and wonderfully original! I was pleasantly surprised not only at how difficult the puzzles were, but also how addictive they were. Like others have said, there can be a bit of "guess and check" at certain points, but there's an odd amount of intuition that seemed to build up for me. It's already very very nice, but perhaps it could be even better with a bit of ambient background music and a few hints or guide rails for the more difficult levels.
Nice work!

Uchi no KiA game about Fourier transforms ? I love this more than I care to admit.
I got stuck around the 13th puzzle. It becomes really hard to visualize how three links will interact through such a complicated level, which made me start to brute force the solution. At that point I decided to call it a day. :-)

Cookie Cutter ChallengeThis is astoundingly addicting, like watching someone trick dunking a basketball and when paired with the poppy sound effects it's just perfect
I definitely didn't expect much since it can be a lot of guess and check work, I did find myself slowly coming to understand what numbers I needed to choose for the right situation, so good on you for making me learn without expecting to hahah
Great job all around :)

This game brings me those aha moments along with headaches. The motion line is beautiful. Watching it reach the goal is satisfying. Love it.

Let's ROLLLAwesome concept! I love Fourier analysis and this definitely helps visualize it! Can definitely be quite difficult, but then again so can Fourier series haha
