Great entry! Minimal art, but the puzzles are great with neat controls and a relaxing soundtrack. It's so satisfying to find the sweet spot and see the ball get stuck in a (almost) perfect loop!
Very fun to play with :)

Hey! Solid entry! Nice puzzles, good execution, smooth feeling :)

Maybe the text could have colored in a darked shade, since the part of the background is already quite light and it wasn't always so easy to read.

I liked the puzzles, some of them are really clever. I found a problem though, if you make the ball go back and forth the finish line (without going around the circuit) it counts as a loop.
Besides that, It's very fun to play. Congratulations!

A really relaxing puzzle with a satisfying gameplay loop of seeing the ball in action. The music helped with it feeling pretty chill, and the graphics helped keep everything readable and easy to navigate.

This was enjoyable, relaxing and challenging all in one. Love the innovation of the mouse scroll control for scale/rotation. Brilliant!

Nice game, relaxing music and the trail on the ball is very satisfying to watch loop! Great job.

I'm bad with puzzles, so it was more trial and error for me, but it is a pretty cool idea.

I really liked how we could mess with the position, rotation, _and_ scaling for the objects. Very nice and well made, though there were some kind of weird issues with gravity outside the wells. Overall very good! :smile:

This was a fun game. I always love gravity wells for some reason so you got me there. It was fun to set up and kind of watch it go (or attempt to). For some reason it reminds me of stacking dominos and knocking them over. Great work!

Clever puzzles, and lots of fun playing around with the looping physics world you've designed. Was very confused at the beginning about what the goal was: I tried to fit the block over the zebra-stripe in about 10 different ways before thinking to *not* do that. A game I can see myself coming back to play again later, so great job!

![devbuild.PNG](///raw/520/43/z/39934.png) This was soo fun! Congrats! Just two things, I really missed an explanation to how the gravity thing worked and that you could move more than one piece per level, as ( as far as I knows ) on the "tutorial" there was only one needed to move.

Very nice game! The thing that bring out the best of this game, is to try to "scam" the level by placing the object in really weird formations :D Which I think was somewhat point of this and that there are more ways to win every level, which is really cool. Good job!

It's a really original and fun game. I like the controls and mechanics. The art could be better but overall, it's great.

Genius, great game, wish you could implement better textures but I understand you didn't have much time. great music, too.

Pretty cool game, nice audio. Some levels felt nice and some others felt like trial and error.

Chill music, and a nice 'level editor' physics are good as well as controls. levels are also challenging. THe one with 4 gates was too hard for me

Really cool game. It really makes you think and plan how to move pieces around to get to the next level.

I really like how open-ended the solutions to the puzzles were. It really felt like if I had an idea of how I could get it to work, it would work 9 times out of 10. Really inventive game, would love to see it taken further with some graphical polish and more levels!

Love the music, perfect for a puzzle game. The mechanics were fun too. Great job!

This is such a nice and original entry! I loved the physics of the ball, loved the mechanics, it was nicely challenging! The graphics were a bit rough but the music smoothed things out. Great game!
