How does your game fit the theme?
Segments are joined together and rotated to solve puzzles. The idea of rotating joined circles is inspired by one of Fourier's contributions to mathematics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6sGWTCMz2k&t=6s

Wow very unique, this concept is very expandable!
Great game, was very satisfying to watch the solution play out! I'll be looking forward to a full mobile release : p

Congratulations on the release! Any chance of an android version?
Not yet, but it is possible! If the game does well on iOS then I'll focus on an Android release.
Wow, wonderful! Once I clicked my understanding of what it was doing into place I was very happy. ^_^ Fantastic calculating-puzzle game. I'm with the other commenters, definitely seems like a keeper. (For some reason the aesthetic reminded me of an old Mac game called Spin Doctor just because in that, you were a wand spinning around circles like this, even though it was a very different game :D )
Thanks for sharing -- I'm glad you enjoyed the puzzles!

Very fun to watch things play out.
This is incredible! I could totally see this as a one-tab mobile game. Its just so satisfying when you finally get it right! Great job :)
(VSauce would be proud)
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and based on all the comments I am considering making a full mobile game for this.

What an interesting idea! It's really cool to see this math in action. 3b1b would be proud!
Thanks :) I'm really glad you appreciate the math-ness of it!

Cool but hard
Wow this was fun! i love the use of double pendulums, also being able to add and subtract from the number of spins felt really cool

Great game, I found it hard, but I definitely find think this is a great game jam submission
This is a fantastic mobile game idea - the kind of logic-puzzle-y thing that can keep me entertained for hours! Great idea for a puzzle game and very in tune with the theme! I also appreciate that the physics isn't too touchy to make it frustrating; using the integer increments was a good move. I also really appreciate the blue swoosh - easy eye candy and helpful for actually seeing where your last arm-swing went!
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the game!
Really nice to see the arm in action! nice job
Original idea for the game, I also liked those ball lines

This is gold, If there was a mobile version I would be downloading right now to play on breaks

I must say, the game is pretty satisfying to play, the visuals could use an upgrade though...
