Very cute cheese-based wrecking ball simulator! Thanks for building and submitting!

I really like the bag and the fact you can drop off the cheese as it leads to interesting levels and the art is very pretty

Ooh that’s a very clever idea. So unique and well implemented. Very nice job!

Really liked the art! The controls were a bit difficult to use at first and sometimes a little disorienting when things moved fast (and occasionally I ended up stuck in the floor) but still enjoyable through all the levels

Cool mechanic, it's very interesting! I like charging up my attack and launching myself to new areas or throwing the giant cheese ball at boxes. I think it'd be good if the player felt less floaty, that way it feels like I have more control over my movement. Also, I sadly got stuck on level 4 in that big hole and couldn't get out. Wish I could have kept playing! Nice job though for the jam!

Gotta love a fellow cheese game! I thought the mechanics were really unique but the camera movement was a lil too floaty for my easily motion sickness-ed brain

Super cute overall!

The love aesthetic and the vibe. Very reminiscent of Great Mouse Detective, which is sick. The music is dope aswell.

I loved the physics, how we have to play with it to finish the game can be hard, but it was fun!!

Pretty alright game. Took a bit to figure out how to slingshot yourself to get higher jumps.

I love the art style, the music, the newspaper, and the cheeses! Great job!
