One of the best entries I've played during this jam so far. The mechanics are clever and the puzzles are challenging. I didn't complete all the levels because I'm normally not that into puzzle games but I enjoyed the levels that I did play and I can totally see someone who loves puzzle games spend hours on this. One minor suggestion I have is to change the color of the platforms and background around a little between levels, just to give some variety, visually.
This is a very well thought out puzzle game, and the levels were intriguing! However, I did encounter some issues when playing it (the WebGL version). Sometimes, when restarting a level, the cubes would not separate, as in, they would respawn already grouped together. Another issue I found was that the 'Lost' UI just didn't disappear - pressing 'R' or'Z' caused it to fade out slightly, but it never went away and so it was always obscuring my vision somewhat. Other than that, a very solid submission! :D
Thank you for the bug report, i will have to look at that !
Hey it has been a while but for the bug you mentionned, is it possible that you had a gamepad plugged in when you played ? Even if you were not using it, i am just talking about plugged in.
No, sorry, I didn't!
My comment on this on discord: "oh yeah, good example on how to make a polished game in a game jam. [Because] it's hard." Just realised I haven't actually commented on this gem haha. Good work! The music is also very pleasing to the ears. Many games here (even good ones) have soundtracks that can get quite jarring after a while, this is just smooth all the way.
Awesome game! The minimalist graphics were nice and the tutorials were so informative yet unobtrusive, kudos to that! I am not a good puzzler so I didn't make it far but this mechanic seems to have a lot of potential from what I've seen in those gifs, very cool mechanic for sure.
I just included a picture because it would be impossible to describe it, but it felt kind of unintuitive that the rolling left or right would sink you into the water there. It doesn't make much sense physically, feels like the cubes warp so that they fall in the water. Especially since going back the exact same way you came from the left would kill you now. I am not sure if I am making my point well, but I hope I at least described the general idea of it.
PS. That name has gotta be a reference to Steven's Sausage Roll right?
Thank you for your feed back ! Yes the title is absolutely a reference to Stephen's Sausage Roll, the greatest puzzle game ever !
For the unintuitive physics i know it can be disturbing early on but the rules are actually simple. Any cube can be the origin of the rotation but the cube being the root of the movement has to be grounded for it to be valid. in this case the furthest block in the direction of you input is not grounded thus not being a valid candidate to initiate the move. The reason you cant go left here is actually the same, the left cube is not grounded anymore.
Awesome aproach to the theme, this game makes you think and try a lot, i like it

Awesome game! I loved the simplicity of the graphics and the audio backing it, I thought it created a cool laid-back atmosphere. I liked the concept as well, I thought that was very nice too. Overall great game! Nice job!
Wow this is beautiful. Such a nice calming ambience, satisfying and tricky puzzles and beautiful art. This doesn't feel like a jam game tbh!
This i sgreat and fits the theme well! Also very well polished
this is the best game in this jam so far, visuals, lighting, art and animations where amazing, the music was unfortunately not calming enough to quench my rage XD, sounds was satisfying especially when you solve a difficult puzzle, controls feels snappy and it's hard to believe that this is made in 7 days with some of the puzzle especially the last two level, the only complaint is that the last congratulate level can only be play once and then the blocks just disappear somewhere,
Good job :D (since this was so hard here's a hint for the last two levels: a perfectly halve broken chain and a cog with four teeth is needed for both levels individually, I will erase this if this is upsetting)
Thank you very much, the hints are a bit spoiling the game but i doubt many people even solved half of the puzzles ^^. GG
wow that confidence but too bad I solve it :3 (GG seems to be your thing)
This game was pretty fun and reminded me of a game on coolmath where you had the same objective here. This certainly took a totally different path than I expected and I liked the challenge that it offered. Nice work on this game!
Really nice game! A clever idea executed perfectly.
This is a really good one! Really clever puzzles but really challenging.
This game is super satisfying to play and the audio is so relaxing, I love it!
These kinds of geometric puzzlers are really fun. It fits the theme and the ssounds make it feel calm. I like it.
Nice game, very smooth and the. Also rate my game if have tim :)
Just as amazing as it looked on the cover.
I'm a big fun of bloxorz and this is the next level! I love this kind of puzzles. The parts you implemented where you must attach to a different plane are very clever and mindboggling, which are the right ingredients to a good puzzle! 5/5 from me. Fantastic job Bl4st :)
Very cool and interesting game, the core concept is really cool. The game is a bit hard for my taste but awesome nevertheless!
This one is an all rounder.
good classic puzzle game...
This game is so polished than me...
Audio, Visuals, game play mechanics are soo SMOOTH...
