This GAME is absolutely my JAM (see what I did there?). Mechanics that build off each other in clever ways, teaching through doing, subverting expectations -- everything that goes into great design is on display here. Absolutely wonderful. But to have that wrapped in such an aesthetically pleasing and humorous shell is icing on the cake. This is my favorite game in the jam so far. Love it.
Excellent level design and simple graphics that create an interesting style. I had a lot of fun, great job!
Rated!, can you help rate mine too please? Thanks!

Amazing game, music got old over time but great sound and feel. Id pay to play this.
I really loved this game, level design felt really well done! Great job on leading the player and introducing the mechanics, I knew exactly what I should do. The only pity for me (according that it's really polished game) is that I couldn't finish your game because of controls and no way to change them. I'm left handed person and I needed to play other way so my coordination in the "architecture" level was pretty low and despite many attempts I wasn't able to finish. Of course it's not sth that will affect my score for you. Cheers! :)
Oh i forgot to mention this in my previous comment. Basically i was able to complete all the levels except the one with the “sit back and watch, we’ll help”, i think it was somewhere around level 18. Basically in that level, it was a bit of a sudden information overload and i couldnt figure out exactly what to do even if it was supposed to be obvious.
So that level had 2 screens, left and right. I tried pushing the box onto the platform that required light and sending it over to the right screen but that didnt work. I couldnt keep the light on the platform for long enough to reach the other screen and i couldnt stand on the platform to do it since there were spikes. Then i just tried to brute force through the automatic crushing system and that didnt work out as well. In the end i had to skip that level to continue the game.
So polished and clean. Every level is different and each one is so fun. Fortunately there is a lot of levels. The light mechanic is genius, I love how you can go through a box and then make it appear when you need it.
That's some amazing level design right there !
Great work ! Please make more !
