These puzzle games are my favorite, though playing these at 5 am probably isn't the best idea lol. I currently made it to level 8 and everything has been as intuitive as it is challenging, which is what I like in puzzle games. Really good work.

really great game, music fit the mood well, very satisfying. the only little problem i had was the quick movement of the camera, gave me a headache after a while, besides that, really good!

The art and sound in this game is superb! The gameplay is simple and easy to get the hang of, and the puzzles are really well put together. I love the use of the theme. Well done on a great game :)

Very satisfying combination of sound design and art direction. Minimalistic but works well together.

Really well done camera triggering with the movement. Makes the movement feel very satisfying. Not much art but what is there is appealing. I think got stuck on a bug on the fourth level.

Very nice game, I really enjoyed playing it. It's unfortunate that it seems to bug out at a couple levels in and doesn't let me pull the last t-shaped platform closer (level is in one of your screenshots).

Otherwise really cool and creative concept for a game, I could see a full-fledged version of this game being something people would pay money for.

An interesting game with simple but beautiful graphics and animations! Clearly deserves more attention!

The game is fun and challenging, great puzzle to play.  Well done.

In the beginning it's not clear that the hook fixes two platform together so it took me a while to get through it, I later figured out that when it's same color it's linked. The tile floating animation also gives an illusion that the tiles are not connected, although the colors are the same.

Another suggestion is to reduce the camera shake, it's a bit too much.

Beautiful, polished, smooth, perfectly suited to the theme, challenging, but at the same time completely understandable in the essence of its mechanics.

I'm not a big fan of straining my brain, but the game was able to completely absorb me and it is definitely worthy of your attention.

The only thing I can complain about is that the controls could be a little more flexible, so that it would be easier to move the character through large levels, and not press the buttons for each individual step.

This was a cool game. Definitely a unique concept for the puzzles, challenging as well.
My only critique would be the camera, the sudden movements could be quite jarring. 

Great job!

The puzzles can be really hard but I love a hard puzzle game. Was really fun and it's a pretty game!

Great and challenging puzzle game.Nice job!

I had a good time trying to figure out the puzzles. Also I like the visuals and effects you added! The only suggestions I would make would be to add a more clear explanation that grappling between two platforms makes them act as one, also I think the camera movement is a bit jerky at times, but other than that I think this game has good design and lots of potential! Nice job

Amazing, this game deserves more love!

 It's a great entertaining puzzle game, the music is good, the neon platforms are very charming and the game is very delightful to play.

    Also, this is the first  time I ever got to play a game programmed on unreal that worked pretty much flawlessly on my old laptop, seriously, it ran so good! 

I must use this opportunity to thank you for making this game in a super modern engine but also assuring it gives support to older electronic devices so people like me to play it too.

 Idk if it was intentional  or not but even if it wasn't, it's still a really good thing in the end since it can reach more players :D

Amazing work on this game, congratulations!ヽ(‘ ∇‘ )ノ
