Interesting concept, quite complete and not depending on greater backgrounds or complex artist works. Issues on the game seems to be according on the short limited time gave for this jam, not sure if there are plans to work to expand this concept in the future. Overall, great job!

The concept has a lot of potential, and the style is very satisfying (art style, animations, and sound design). However, as another commenter noted, the paths would lose connection a bit too quickly for my liking. Also, I'm not sure if the path layout is procedurally generated, but I found myself soft locked on larger maps because of the types of paths present. I think for a game like this, it would be better to design levels that have specific solutions, especially as the maps become more complex.

The game has a great framework, the design just needs some tweaking. Overall, it was a great experience and a fun little puzzle game :)

Thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it

Really fun to play and the colors and simplicity of the visuals! Game was also very interesting and fun to play and connecting everything in the level and seeing the new blocks come in was very statisfying. The timer did feel a tad short but overall was still a very fun experience! :D

I like the minimalistic graphical style as well as the music. The only issue I had (Might just be me) but it was that the cubes would become errored/dead really quickly so it became difficult to manage. But overall I think this was a super creative take on the theme and I'm going to probs play it again great job. :D
