I really enjoyed this! Your puzzle mechanics were so simple that I thought 'how are you ever going to make interesting puzzles with this', but you really made a couple that had me stumped for some time :D I think the puzzles were actually really clever little optimization problems, which were a lot of fun to figure out. The art and soothing music also fit the gameplay very well. Very good submission! I had a good time with this game :D

Love a little puzzle game like this. It actually got pretty hard in some levels too.

nice game! some later puzzle became pretty hard, i wished there was a button to go back in time step by step instead of a full reset, but overall nicely done game!

This was such a charming and well-designed puzzle game. The mechanics with the dash and magnet were simple to learn but created some really clever and challenging puzzles. I liked how some levels tricked me into thinking I needed every power-up, only to realize that skipping one was part of the solution. The art and music were super cozy, and the little character was adorable. I also agree with others that an undo or step-back button would make it even smoother to play. Overall, a relaxing but brain-twisting experience — really well done!

@pro4 @Elfb0y Well, actually all the levels can be completed by collecting all power-ups, and it is sometimes more difficult. Path that do not involve all power-ups are unintended solutions, which we decided to keep to reward the players who found them (and consider the level finished when power-ups remain is more lore-accurate since the character wants to find back its collection, not magnets...).

Cute visual design and great progression of puzzles. Always impressive to see people able to design this many levels over a jam. With my lack of puzzle solving skills I got stuck before the end, but still very fun! Great entry and implementation of the theme.

Nice puzzle collector game! I'm stuck in some levels but glad there's level select to allow me choosing other levels. I only wish the game would tell me of my failure and offer restart or go to menu.

The concept is so cool, I love it!

I really like this game! Very nice atmosphere and visuals, great job! And while the mechanics are simple, it's a bit challenging sometimes. Sprinkle it with some pickup sounds and a fail screen and it would feel complete. Great game, thank you!

Very good game! I love the music and the whole aesthetic is in balance. The puzzles and mechanics are interesting.
I think it's only missing some sound effects and even those feel optional.
Great work.

/spoiler One thing that stumped me for a while was that I thought I had to collect all of the power ups as well, but some stages they are traps and the solution didn't involve them!
I had fun with this. Nice work!
