Currently you got my best rating. Maybe you should add some screenshot in the description you have nice graphics.
Learning curve well designed.

Very nice game! My comment is on our discord. :p Too bad you can't have 3 stars on the level 8.

Nice idea! The increase in difficulty was nice, but I would have liked the animations to be a little faster.

Nice idea, would be nice to have the grid a little more obvious. Took me quite a whil to figure that you don;t need to use all the slots, which is a little deceiving. Like the plan and move mechanic, plesant graphics and relaxing controls.

Cool game. Liked the way the puzzles were layed out.
The game ran a little bit slow on my pc (10fps), so i guess with a better machine the game would even be better.
Maybe add a longer music track, the one used is getting repeated too fast.

Great job! I'm a sucker for puzzles and the levels were a good variety of simple to teach and challenging. I dig the extra layer of puzzles that can be solved in different ways, and this one does that with the option of analyzing possible solutions that don't require the full number of commands. Plus, the graphics are lovely! The effect of having the little guy stick to nearby cells makes it feel organic and sticky.

Nice work!

Game looks good and has fun puzzles! Only criticism would be the restart time is kind of long.

This game is amazing for 72h, the amount of levels, the gameplay, the audio, everything makes it a fresh experience in the puzzle genere, it could be a complete smart phone game, you have an incredible game here, launch it on other devices, because this could be big as an app. Simply amazing *clap* *clap*

Very nice puzzle game. I already played some games based on this concept of programmable loops moves, and There's always some little differences. In yours, I like the fact that we have energy. And the mood is very cute. Bob is moving nicely and I like the sticky effect between blocks. Pretty deformation shader. The music is too repetitive, but smooth. And it's good to have finished the whole interface + save of stars. Congrat to the team!
