Bro this game is fire, you did a so much great job, the designs are incredible, the implementation for the tutorial is amazing, the transitions are so smooth, and the gameplay is easy to understand ! Good job, just one thing, maybe we shouldn't be able to take the box if it's too big ?

Thanks for the encouragement and design feedback. That could be an interesting mechanic although in my mind it wasn't mass that changed it was density however mechanics that used density had to be cut. But mass-based puzzles could make for interesting challenges and conflicts. Thanks for playing and leaving feedback. :D
That screen transition was so smooth! And the puzzles are really smart. Great job!

Astronomical AssemblyThis is fantastic!
Very polished, I loved the music and the wonderful art of that little sand mage and the sand reload animation was great too, they totally set the right mood for the game, it fits the theme perfectly and the puzzles were challenging, they made me think and I felt really good solving the levels and making it to the end, kinda had like "what if the old DOS games were created today" type of cool vibe.
This is my favorite type of game and I really really enjoyed it, amazing job! :)

Snake MountainReally pretty style and fun premise. I however got stuck pretty early on (level where tutorial says R to Restart, ESC for main menu). I moved around and clicked various switches, and saw the paths light up, but nothing else was changing. I imagine maybe you need to press several at once, but if that is the case it would be good to have some hints as to which ones!
(Oh, nevermind... I figured it out now)

Platform Panic!Art style is gorgeous. I feel like game has some problems with movement and cubes placing. S in uncommon for ladders. I would suggest to assign scale on keyboard, not on mouse. Other things are pretty good!

AFFINE PUZZLEPuzzle Design is great, Movement is a bit difficult to get used to but it works. the scale up down mechanic is great but indication for where you will be placing it would be good. Overall a very good idea, maybe manage the difficulty scale a bit better, as some level earlier are difficult and some at the end are easier

OBLITERATION POINTThis is a great puzzle platformer and I really enjoyed playing it, Good Job! The only thing I have to say is that I had a hard time figuring out which buttons powers which gates. Maybe you could make the lines a little more clear?

Omelet You CookThat sand stinger transition is so seamless! I restarted a lot, but that animation was so clean.

Bouldering BounceThis game is cool, even thought I am not a huge fan of puzzle games. The core mechanic is simple yet effective. I like the art style, I think it is really great, but I must say I don't like the music (but considering the context, is it nice to even have music).
Well done nevertheless!
