Well done! It feels really smooth and the puzzles are indeed brain-melting. Good job especially for only one person, really impressive.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a ton!! 
That means a lot — I really tried to polish the feel and make the puzzles challenging but rewarding
Appreciate the kind words!!

Nice game! Plays really well and the looping is done perfectly, but I got stuck on level 1 already... want to give me a hand, cause I see all the comments enjoyed it and I want to experience it too ;) 

Developer

I'm sorry it's not very clear!
You can go in the left wall.
You have to stack your loops to build a ladder, climb up, and then jump to the right to reach the portal.
It should be a secret way but in the next update i will make it more clear
In the description theres also a Tip for this Level.

Thanks a lot for your feedback! 🫶

Damn! Yea a visual indicator would have been nice! I got past it now, thank you!

More creative twists coming soon

Love the game, got stuck on the second level, and found the solution in the page description. I don't know if it's a bug or intended, but the first recording is at the end position when playing for the 3rd time.

I love those kinds of games, and it suits the theme perfectly. Great implementation, and it's so fun to figure out those puzzles and get hooked on the gameplay!

I really like your implementation of the theme, I've made a similar game to yours in this jam (Dummy Paradox). However, it has lot less content in this build; still, have a look if you're interested!

Developer

Cool Dude

a really good one

Not sure how to beat the level where it says a "A plumber once jumped here". The left wall at the start without collision seemed like a clue, but couldn't finish it.
