Very nice game! I enjoyed the staircase level (I think it was level 11). The artwork looks amazing!

The style, audio, and gameplay all came together really well! I hope you all keep working on it, could definitely see this becoming a fully released paid game <3

Took a little while to get the hang of when sliders could be used and when. But the puzzle design was really clever when it all clicked! Great job!

Really fantastic game. Some mechanic are a bit unusual to learn at first (with the two extra weight) and some collision are a bit funky, but overall this is really rad.

Very good progression with the puzzle. The introduction of the button make some interesting puzzles that are a bit more mechanical which feel great.

Really well done!

A rather unusual and high-quality puzzle.  I really enjoyed playing it, thanks to the developers for the opportunity to try it!

Beat all the levels+secret challenges. Crazy Clock was definitely the craziest out of all of them.

Really fun game, sadly I got stuck on the second bonus level but I had a lot of fun, I enjoyed the timing aspect on some of the later levels as well.

thanks so much for checking it out!

The puzzle design in this one is really neat. I have really enjoyed it. I don't know if I love or hate the fact that it becomes a clicking in the correct timing puzzle, but still really neat game. I have enjoyed even the challenge levels. The 2nd challenge level was it for me, I couldn't solve it. Pretty nice entry and such an interesting concept

Thanks for enjoying my puzzles! And I'm sorry you had to experience that monstrosity of that challenge level I made at 3am

This is the best I've seen so far. Really clever concept with brilliant puzzle design. I surrendered at the second bonus level (after bruteforcing my way into the first one, I imagine there was another way to solve it rather than mashing my mouse) but it  really got me hooked. With the amount of polish I can easily see this as a full game with a few more levels. The only minor thing that could use some improvement is when the scale is squashed and it glitches a bit. Very well done!

Thanks for enjoying my puzzles! There is actually a way to beat bonus 1 without mashing the mouse through an unintended method that wasn't discovered until yesterday. Sorry for making you mash your mouse like that, but I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
