I really liked your game. I would play it a lot if it was available on android :D

There were a lot of great puzzles. Well done! I wasn't a fan of the camera shake (too intense) or the music (too repetitive), but luckily both could be disabled. Kinda funny how we both made games with the frictionless/ice skating movement, but they turned out completely different.

A well-made puzzle game. I enjoyed it a lot. Great idea to stick with a simple art style.

Hello ArjunaKrishna, thank you for playing our game!

Frictionless features the option to disable shaking, although the method to do so is hidden in the description. Hopefully, in a release after the jam we will be bringing customisable options to a more accessible region of the game!

Liked it! Graphics and sounds are neat, good utilization of the limited-controls idea from a game design perspective.

I think some of the levels didn't use the mechanic enough, because I could usually just try the shortest path and it would work without having to even look at the available controls, would've been nice to have some levels where the "obvious" solution doesn't work because you don't have the right controls, making the player stop and think to come up with a clever way to solve the level with the available controls.

Anyways, good game, highest rating I've given so far this jam.

Shameless plug - if you like puzzles, you might wanna check out my game Clority. :)

Hello Demeno, thank you for playing our game!

The point you made about underutilising Frictionless' core mechanic is one which is quite obvious yet overlooked. In a release after the jam we hope to address this issue through better design of the game's many puzzles!
