Cool and pretty original puzzle. Unlike most of the other puzzles I saw in the jam, your game gives me time to think about my actions. I really value it.

I still passed only a half of the first level and don't know if there is mre.

It would be more dynamic, if it has a fast restart (without returning in main menu every time).

I'm glad you liked it!  It's only the one level, though the last stretch is pretty tough and even takes me a few attempts.

I considered separate buttons to restart and go to the menu, but I was running low on time, so I just took that shortcut.

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, I like the idea, sincerely!

Though, you could consider update controls in next iterations. I moved my hand from WASD to digits and back, it wasn't very convenient.

That threw me for a loop at first, but I had that moment of "oh, that's cool" as I was playing. Character is a little slippery, though, which gave me pause for concern in a game where I can't always see what's going on. That and my ability to swap between states quit halfway through the level :(

Yeah that's fair.  To be honest, I'm not sure why I decided to make the character that slippery, especially with how tricky that last stretch is.  I have no idea why your controls broke, though.  That never happened while testing.  I can look into it, I guess.  Thanks for the feedback!
