This is an incredible game! Super tough to solve the puzzle mechanics. Needs to be fleshed out with more levels, and ultimately brought up to a full mobile release.

Great SFX- inclusion of humorous elements and notes from the characters in the world.

SKill required!

Just how @holtzzy223 mentioned, awesome progress... And while playing, I felt pure nostalgia (and pondering), this game has such a consistent atmosphere. :heart:

A unique puzzlegame that's one of my favorite LD games so far. I'm impressed by 3D in Gamemaker.

Very cool puzzle game! I really had fun with it. Graphics is really pleasant and the music fits well. Figuring things out feels fun and satisfying - even when what you are figuring out is not necessarily what objectives tell you to do :wink:

I cannot begin to comprehend how you guys made this on gamemaker, but damn did you do a wonderful job with it!
The idea is fantastic and all I can say is that I need more levels :P

What a great game! I enjoyed this a lot. But also there's some room for improvements. The controls can be confusing and there needs to be a function to edit or remove stuff. Sometimes I used the wrong key and placed an object at the wrong place and had to start all over again.

The game is very pretty and kinda fun, I wish it didn't start the loop with every piece I placed, but it was a great concept, great work.

The style of this game is something I really like and the music is fitting perfectly. The gameplay and puzzle is really well executed, although I would probably add some quality of life features, like a fast-forward/increase-playback-speed option and an undo button or generally a remove tool for misplaced objects. Overall very polished and amazing game!

Really great aesthetics! I loved the sandbox aspect of it. I liked the fact that the puzzle didn't seem constrained to just one solution.

Great job on finishing a 2.5D game on game maker during a jam. That was impressive! I really appreciated that you allowed players to access the help screen at any point (there was quite a lot of information to absorb). The graphics looked charming and I think this had a lot of personality. Also, I'm terrible at this game, soooooo many accidents.
