Nice game!! The controlls feel good and  graphics fit well with the game despite being simple. The weaskest point would be the lack of sound. 

I enjoyed the time spent playing it! <3

Overall a pretty good game, my best time was 1:57.37!

The mechanic is nice, although it would've probably fit better if you related it more to magnets instead of gravity. The graphics are simplistic but I think that fits the game pretty well. The shadow rendering and the animations in the gravity orb are good too. The level transitions are good, although depending on how you're loading new levels in they should maybe stop the timer so it's not affected by load times. I liked how you introduced the red zone mechanic, the difficulty curve is pretty good and things are explained pretty well, although the last level was probably a bit too hard since the space between the spikes is very tight. Some UI like a main menu would be nice, and it'd be nice to have some sort of leaderboard so you can compare between your previous playthroughs and other people. Somewhere halfway I also got the introduction text again for some reason.

Good job :)

I hope it didn't come over as too critical haha, just some feedback but it was fun to play and overall pretty well made :)
If you'd want to, I would appreciate it if you could check out my game as well: https://itch.io/jam/scorejam18/rate/1512780

No not too critical. This is a very good review letting me know what I should do for my next jam. I'll definitely check out your game!

Amazing game! Very polished feeling. The main mechanic was simple, but very fun. That final level was also very challenging, but not too challenging. The perfect balance.

My only complaint is the lack of any music or sounds, if you had that, this would've been one of the most complete-feeling games I've played in this jam! Great job :)

I appreciate this! Yeah I didn't get around to sounds because I lost a day of development unfortunately. :(

Cool Idea and nice level design! The super close spike at the end was super tough but I pushed through to the end. Well Done making a polished game

Sorry about the lack of sounds. I missed a day of development so I did not have the time. :(

It was the hardest part for me too. You have to do tiny baby steps to get past.
