The game does follow the theme. Good job for that!
I completed a couple levels. I find myself bouncing out of the screen in level 4 or 5, haha.

A couple things if I may:

- Don't hesitate to use simple sentences in the game.
- I think you could have shown the link between the two objects since your goal was to make a physical game. That could help player know right away what to do.
- Avoid overlapping text in general. I saw congratulations notice on top of explanation text many times.
- Showing hints and displaying jokes can be funny at first. But I find that saying "out of context stuff" in it is a bit odd.
- Sounds and visual effects are good for the overall experience. But for example, when the player stay on a button, do not loop the song. Only play it once when the player enter the trigger box.

Hope it helps!

Really simple visuals, but it's a jam game, so I can't really judge it too hard for the way it looks. Really clever take on the "bound together by chains" idea :) . The idea of having thrusters and maneuvering through the air, and being pulled back by the other box, worked really well.

Work on the visual and audio components, polish the mechanics and it will be a pretty good game. Keep going!

Good concept! The sound effects are a little jarring and the visuals are a little difficult to interpret. But I think you've done great as far as fitting the theme and having good puzzle design.

Very interesting concept, but I was confused at several points what to do. The physics seems wonky, but I think that was intentional, put an element of surprise with every step. Pretty fun!

The ideas behind this game's concept and the level design are great. I can tell you struggled with the art assets, and that's a shame. It makes the game sort of difficult to read. I couldn't immediately grasp what the greyish particles coming out of the player were meant to be. Same thing with most of the colored shapes. The buttons, though, read well.

Thank you for the feedback!

Very interesting puzzle game! You will need to think a little to solve it, but that is a goal of a puzzle game, isn't it? Hahahaha, just scan QR code at the end of the game! Brilliant! Great job!
