I don't really see the theme adherence, but it's still a very interesting puzzle game. Though it could benefit from a two times speed button or something like that.

Puzzles are very interesting and the concept is cool, could be sped up a little, waiting for the player to get all the way back before I can drag the solution on is a little hard

Cool concept. Would love to see more levels and items.

Good puzzles!

A very short game, but the concept it explores is very interesting.

Puzzle concept is interesting but definitely could use some polishing. Some good music would go a long way too. Still an interesting idea though, and I liked the different challenges posed by swapping out items for different purposes between yourself and the hero.

It lacks polish but is overall a very good proof of concept and has a lot of potential. Great job!!!

Very interesting game

This game has the potential to be an interesting puzzler, it just needs a lot more polish and it'd be pretty great! My main complaint with the gameplay is that the controls were a bit too awkward to work with. I needed to constantly think about which tools were where and what I needed to do with them in order to get them to do what I wanted them to. If this game is expanded further I also think it would be a good idea to not introduce all of your tools so quickly, as I think that could easily overwhelm players with too many variables that they need to think about. Introducing the tools one at a time and slowly showing what they're good at in separate levels would go a long way in teaching the player how to navigate the world!

Other than that, I would've loved to see more levels to see what else you could've done with this idea or where you would have taken it. However, I guess you ran out of time.

The presentation was pretty good though, and I do like the idea of a puzzle game where you play god to reach a desired outcome! Good work and keep making games!

Thanks for the detailed feedback! Yeah I did realise that trying to take the tool away from the unit was a bit awkward. I do agree with your points, and there's definitely room for improvement if this idea is expanded on. Well noted, and I appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback!

Very nice, I thought it is a classic platformer at first and then it is actually a puzzle platformer(?)!

I would have loved it more if there was some 8-bit music to go with it! haha

Very nice, I can see a lot of potential for interesting puzzles with these mechanics!

Creative concept!

I like the different character types to overcome certain obstacles

Would love more levels but regardless I had fun :)

I could really see this being expanded into a full game, good job!

Really like how you interpreted the theme of the jam. I enjoyed the puzzle of the levels in the game and would love to see this expanded upon.

Submitted(+1)

This is really cool, The mechanics lend themselves well to a ton of interesting puzzles, I just wish there were more levels to mess around with the mechanics more. I also think that movement speed should be increased a little more, just as a quality of life enhancement. Great Job!
