Nice game. Simple, but scaleable mechanic. Great potential here. Good luck taking this further.

Very addicting! Also like how the mechanics are taught to you then you  start using them which is great for level design!

That's what I was aiming for when creating the mechanics, good to know it works :D

Very nice concept. If you add some more levels it could become a nice addictive little puzzle game. The minimalistic graphics work really well, it would be nice to add some small effects like a smooth rotation animation, but other than that I wouldn't change to much about that. :) Good job!

It is very short indeed! Thanks for playing! :)
I want to continue working on the game as I mentioned in the previous comment. Make more levels and mechanics. Expand and create a more complete game out of this prototype.

If i had more levels and a calm music it'll be perfect for a donation :3

I will add more levels and of course, the music!

This is game I really like myself, so I want to continue developing this into a more complete game!

I liked the aesthetics! While I love the minimalism, it was a little hard to tell which way the triangle was facing. I wasn't able to get the music working in the web version. The puzzle concept was good! Clever bits of switch placement!

Thanks for playing! I will see if I can update the player sprite to make it more clear what direction it's facing! :)
I forgot to enable the music for this build in the stress of the jams last hours :D

Agreed on the direction. You really have to pay attention to it sometimes. Maybe even just the tip of the triangle could be a different colored triangle and that could help?
