    This is really well done! From the basic levels introducing mechanics to the more puzzling levels, it all just worked. I finished the 8 levels, but could definitely go back to optimize my run. With a bit more packaging and a bunch more levels, this would make a legit puzzle game on some form of for-profit game-selling platform. Fantastic job!

    Pretty cool game, I just feel like level 8 should have been place earlier to have a better difficulty curve, since the trick is used before in a harder puzzle. Anyway that's a small issue but I have nothing else to add :D

    There were some really nice puzzles here and a good progression in the difficulty. I had a good time :)

    Would have been interesting to play around with the stickiness a little more and have to stick the blocks together in an 'L' shape, for example.

    80 moves on level 8, I'm not too good at this game, but it's a really nice puzzler. I was fully engaged with it working on the mechanics and replaying repeatedly until I got it just right. My only critique is that the dragging of blocks can sometimes feel unaccurate. Using the arrows to move them one space at a time, or some form of UI overlay to help guide my cursor might help. This was a lot of fun, thanks for the great submission

    Awesome game! The theme is implemented splendidly and the puzzles are clever but not frustatingly hard to solve. A quick, relaxing bit of fun! The only "bad" thing that it is pretty short, so I hope the game will be extended after the game jam.

    Imgur I guess my move-count is hilarious to you? :D

      Thanks for the positive feedback, and good job on completing every level! It's quite fun to create levels, so I might update the game with more.

      I have done level 8 in 60 moves but 78 is pretty good!

    Great use of simple mechanics for puzzles. Some sound would have bee nice to complete the experience.
