Fun and basic game mechanic, I could play a whole game with this mechanic ! (Could be a fun mobile game)

On the last level there are some tiles drawn on top of the rotating tiles, so you can lose them if you don't pay attention, but that's a minor detail.

Really good finished product in the time you had !

The song also becomes an absolute banger at some point for no reason ! x)

I really liked the visual look of the game.  The palette really helped with the forge theme and the levels themselves were aesthetically pleasing.  I wish the puzzles were a little bit harder, or maybe that there were just more of them.  But I understand you made this game in a short amount of time.  Nice work!

3:30 with chatting to you in discord. guess that was fast enough. Cool idea and I liked the music. The sound got a bit annoying after some time.

Completed in 6 minutes. I guess that's slower than ideal :) But enjoyable game. Satisfying to see the hexagons click into place. Very cool to complete this in 12 hours. I liked the smaller puzzles where more pieces would move together. Probably some of these levels could be made more challenging in a future version. Well done!

3:28 first try.  That was fun!  Would love to see it developed further.  Perhaps a mechanic/ai that works against you.  This is simple, good clean fun.  Great game!

Really really addicting game mechanic. I got easily sucked into this game. I loved how you don't really need a tutorial, I could figure out what to do by just looking at the screen. Really good puzzles too.

The only critique is that sometimes the orange balls get stuck underneath some of the plates, so I couldn't find them once in a while. 

Great submission.

I'm super happy to hear you liked the game's mechanics and thank you for playing! I saw that issue and fixed it, but export didn't overwrite properly.

Really cool! I liked the mechanic, especially when you can move multiple pieces at once. Perhaps, in case you want to continue the game, you could make a level were moving one piece can affect an already well-placed piece. I feel like there is a lot of room for gameplay here.

Also, the ideal time is perfectly calculated!

Good job!

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! I'm definitely excited to add some more to the game post jam. Also nice time, I took a wild guess and it seems to be perfect haha

Fun little puzzle game. If you had some kind of representation of the items being forged it would have gone a long way towards the theme

I initially planned to but cut down on it for time. Thank you for playing!
