This game idea is super cool. But it still has some bugs to fix. For example, after I passed through the second I level, I can only move with one cube and all the others are floating that I can highlight them.

Definitely has some Katamari vibes that I'm not complaining about.

Not sure if this intentional but you can release cubes mid-rotation and they become stuck at that angle.

Having to wait a moment before you can connect to adjacent cubes keeps the game from feeling as smooth as it could be.

Really cool game! Sadly some bugs, I kept teleporting and than getting off the grid and wasn't centered and had to restart to fix it. But when it worked, wow, what nice game!

Nice game and good idea. Sadly there are many bugs. Some adjacent blocks just won't connect. It's possible place blocks on the same position as other blocks. And it's possible to just go straight through the barriers.

Interesting...

It was fun building yourself but the bugs destroyed the gameplay:

You can go through bars; fall into the ground?; walk on nothing?; ...

Try to make a post mortem fixed version!

So well put together! Even though there are bugs it feels so polished. I enjoyed every minute of playing this game! It's aesthetically pleasing but in my opinion it feels a little bit empty without music or sound effect. Good luck and I really hope to see you in the next jam!

Great idea, but lot, lot of bugs. Tried playing it three times, encountered game-breaking bugs three times. Also I have a feeling that the puzzles are too hard too soon, probably there should be a better learning curve, if you plan to continue with the project after jam. Really like the general idea!
