I think its interesting, I'm not good at timing so i was just stuck on level 4-5 for like 10 mintes. I think all the art and audio fit.

Love the idea and the artwork, i was constantly restarting the game to try and get faster

Submitted

I felt like I was just kind of waiting for things to align because I had trouble tracking all of the boxes at once. A pause or something like that to help track movement over time could really make this more skill-based which would be a big improvement to me. Cool concept though!

Submitted

Great interpretation of the theme, I resolved most of the problems with luck alone, but that's probably a skill issue, nice game

Submitted

I like that this is super easy to pick up, I struggled a bit on the later levels, it got a bit hard to track all of the boxes at once. Still pretty fun.

The longer levels are more annoying because well its harder to time everything. But game is still very good, I like the interpretation of the theme here! Great work! :D

Cool concept, can feel a bit annoying to get right at times, especially with longer loops - overall quite good.

Pretty interesting game! an interesting idea for a puzzle game, the first set of levels were quite enjoyable. However, as some have mentioned, waiting can solve the puzzles, but certainly not all of them. It also can be a bit hard to align the boxes, as the more complexity is added, it gets a lot harder.

Still, it's a neat little game!

The Game is pretty fun, but speeding up and waiting makes it solve itself. But it is a fun concept and I enjoy playing it!

Submitted

Lots of fun!

Had a bit of trouble with the level where the orange belt is looping between the blue and purple teleporter belts; even when you're able to line up a couple the third was has gone out of sync because of the different tile path lengths. A neat idea; you seem to be getting a lot of traction from a simple concept. Would be interested to see what kind of other complex puzzle arise from simple tweaks.

Submitted

Ahhh this was so hard! But still really well thought out and interesting take on the theme! Great job!!

nice puzzle game and when it comes to 3 color it so tricky for me to deal with haha.

If possible, can you please vote my game and leave a comment too?

Ah this is tricky. I'm not sure what kind of feedback I can give! It's an interesting concept, but I think it doesn't really land for me. I get that you want the player to fiddle with the speeding up and down to synchronise the loops, but the math of it doesn't really come naturally to me, so I end up just either trial and erroring or offsetting the loops and waiting. Neither of which feels very rewarding when I finish a level. I went AFK for dinner during a level and came back to it being solved. 

I like the idea of maybe using sound / rhythms to sound out the puzzles. Like a 4/4 rhythm overlayed with a 3/4 or a 6/4 by letting the boxes make sounds on certain tiles, i think it would end up sounding cool at least, and maybe add an extra dimension. 

Other than, I like the visuals, and it ran well! Congratulations, and good job on a successful game jam!

Nice puzzle game!

Things really start getting tricky once you have to deal with three different colors, haha.

Developer

Thanks!

That's true, I think it can be a bit too difficult at times, that's a point I'll try to solve in the future.

gives you the feeling of NEEDING to just beat this level

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! I felt that way a few times while testing it, and I think I could improve this feeling through Game Feel.

Imposter syndrome right here, clicking buttons only to wait then it works out somehow. True to the name of the game 👌

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! That was one of the feelings I wanted the player to feel, I'm glad you got it.

Nice little game! I wish there was less waiting for stuff to happen. 

Left a rating! Would love if you could play our game!

Thanks for playing my game! I also noticed this issue while testing, but I couldn't think of a gameplay variation that would solve it in time.
