Really nice! ♥ Love this vibe, the concept is interesting, it could use a few more levels, but it's very good as it is! Maybe it would look a little better if the green background was a little brighter. Now, although you can see what's going on, it kind of blends together. Overall, the game is very enjoyable! ♥ Well done!
I forgot to mention - I really like the cover art! ♥
Thank you so much for the kind words and feedback!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
The game is really well made, and i like the idea a lot!
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Woah, a really cool mechanic for a puzzle-platformer, and one that opens up to a lot of possibility! I also just really appreciate how consistent the artstyle is, even as minimal as the levels are, the aesthetic is very cohesive. Nice!
Thank you for the kind words!
Much appreciated :)
What a amazing concept and level design, very clever! I am cheering for your game continue to see more levels! It maybe can work in mobile with a new mechanic where players can use their fingers to slide the screen, just a thought.
I was thinking of mobile being a nice fit due to the simplicity of controls, but that is a good point about some other touch related mechanics possibly working well there. Something to consider :)
Thank you so much for playing!
Excellent game!
5/5
Please do check out my game if you got the time
Thank you! :)
Great game, I love the style and how polished it looks!! That kind of overlay you have on it is such a cool effect?? Only wish there were more levels, awesome job! :)
Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice work! The weight gimmick was interesting and the game felt pretty good. The visuals just to be tweaked a bit so the snail and other game elements stand out more from the background but otherwise it's a pretty solid game 😄
Will definitely be looking at a few ways of improving visual contrast or at least providing some optional modifiers.
Thank you for the feedback and for giving it a play! :)
Nice platformer! Very simple and polished.
Thank you for playing! :)
This one is a strong contender.
That is very nice to hear. Thank you! :)
Congrats on getting picked for Mark's Stream!
Thank you! :)
This is a great take on the theme. It is also one of my favourite puzzle games from this game jam.
Thank you! It really means a lot to hear that :)
I WANT MORE
I would like to provide more :)
Thank you for playing!
I came from mark stream. This is an amazing game. The mechanic is solid and the puzzle are fun to figure out. This almost seem too good for a jam game.
Thank you for the very kind comments!
I'm glad that you enjoyed it :)
A really good & finished looking jam game; short, sweet and to the point! Cheers!

Short but sweet! I like the mechanic it's very creative, and fits the theme well. This could definitely turn into a great puzzle game post jam, with much more complicated levels involving multiple weights of shell, maybe 3 or 4 screen sections, etc. Overall, great entry :)
Thank you for the nice words and glad you enjoyed it!
I did think briefly about trying more than 2 sections of the scale, but my brain wasn't ready for that level of complexity and planning during the jam period. I agree that there could be few different ways of expanding out the puzzles if developed further :)
it's simple but yet original and fun to pla, the use of the theme make it even better ! It's a very good game congrats :D
Thank you for playing!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Was too short for such a fantastic idea, but still you get full rate from me. Great job! so inspiring!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Nice idea! a bit sad it was over so soon, I would have loved to see more puzzles using this mechanics! Congratulation still for making this, it was fun!
Thank you!
Really glad that you had fun with it :)
Really like this interpretation of the theme! Also love the pixel art and the corner bending screen effect -- gives a very nice retro feel! Great work!!
Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for playing :)
