Nice! Loved the humor :)

This is great, nicely done!

It took me a couple of tries to figure out how the floor elements worked, I completely missed the bumper in the top-right for my first few tries for some reason.

Once I'd figured out how the components of the game worked it was fun figuring out how to optimise my route.

Given that I needed to restart a few times it was slightly frustrating to have the main menu animation play out in full before I could start again.

I didn't quite complete it but came very close :)

Yes, I tried to perform a "just a one time title animation" for a faster experience, but I found problems with scene transitions and... ok... I chose to let the animation always, sorry hahaha

Bravo! This was a  satisfying and fun action puzzle.

It took me a while to figure it out and once I did, it took me a few more goes to complete it in the time limit. Good stuff.

If you were to make some improvements, I would suggest to add some sounds (unless there are some and they're not working in my browser) and some kind of indication of the remaining time (it could be a timer but it doesn't have to be). It's good to know how long you have left and it also adds a little bit of fun pressure when you're racing against the clock.

A visible timer sounds pretty easy to implement, but I found severe difficulties with it. I thought about a last 5 second alarm, but sound effects is not so easy neither haha Thanks for your words!

This is a clever little puzzle game that embodies the jam theme perfectly. I can absolutely see this being a slice of a larger game–and I want to play that game!

It’s a little trickier than it looks, took me quite a few tries to finish

It's a possibility to make a complete game with this concept, if people like it :)
Thanks for your words!
