Very creative and both relaxing and frustrating as I often found myself on a good rhythm only to forget which direction I move the blocks and fall down. It takes time, of course, since it is not the norm. I tend to lean more on the player's side so for me, some UI to remind myself which direction I would be moving the blocks would help :D But very clever!

Adorable game! (totally not biased btw)
Has some interesting puzzles and mechanics, but it does feel like the "reverse" theme doesn't work very well because it would be the same game if you were just moving the penguins, except the controls are in reverse.
Still enjoyed it though!

Penguin Paparazzivery fun puzzle game! things got pretty difficult and thought provoking real quick!
Interesting take on the role reversal by controlling the stage. Well done!

And Roll For AdventureGreat job! Love me some puzzle games. This could be a console title, nice art and design.

Humpty Jumpty 🥚Wow, you did this all in 48 hours! WOW! Amazing and good job!
I enjoyed how the control was reverse, simple but on theme and made my brain go "huh?!"
Easy to start and play right away (thank you), levels got more challenging but still were well explained (thank you) and fun to solve.
This is the best game I've played so far while rating!
The only feedback would be to update splash screen, the simple penguin doesn't give the fun of your game justice. Maybe add more of a map view?
Very cool game! The puzzles were just the right difficulty. It took me a minute or two to get the controls down, but that made it more fun.
I had a lot of fun playing this, and it was extremely engaging. Good job making it in just 48 hours! :)

Trolley TrotVery cute game, but I feel like fitting the theme mostly just inverts the controls, as controlling all the penguins at once wouldn't be that odd even if it wasn't the level moving. But overall great work, very polished and the presentation is top notch :)

Ghosts of The DeepThis is a really good game. It's nicely polished. I really liked the penguins with their idle animations, but really, the whole thing looked great.
The levels were tricky but doable. The bonus stars were fun to go for. It would have been nice to see a score at the game. How many did I get?
Really fun. Well done.

Cat TrapVery nice game and addicting to play!
I really enjoyed the art and the music (and the sound of toggling the music on and off was very satisfying to me) as well as the whole concept of it!
Although I died wayyy too often just because my brain didn't think in the right direction! Most of the times right at the start! The level were not too easy and not too hard for my taste and a this whole experience was a great way to calm down after this game jam. Thanks so much!
Here are some things I have stumbled across that would be great fixes for an update:
- the camera sometimes moved in a way that I couldn't see te whole map anymore so maybe it would be nice to have the button to center the camera manually aswell so the feeling of the game doesnt get lost :D
that's literally it! Great work!
Also thanks again for the comment under our game! Means so much to me!

Sheep Gone WrongVery fun and good puzzles! Sometimes the camera has moved in ways that I could not see some parts of the map / a penguin

CATchmakerAn interesting and fun take on desync puzzles. Presentation is great and puzzles were fun to solve. It would be nice to have an undo button tho. But great job overall!

Ollie's Ominous OrbVery creative and fun to play! The presentation was amazing especially making 3d or 2.5d was really cool. The reverse movements definitely messed me up because we were moving the blocks but a very create way to fit the theme!
