This game is great! The mechanics work great, the petrify thing is a great way to incorporate the theme, the music is nice and relaxing! I really liked this game!

Super clever game! It wasn't immediately obvious what the goal was haha. (I didn't realize for several minutes that the orange hexagon was the player :P )

The simple art style works very well to make it clear what parts of the puzzle you can manipulate. The theme of 'Stronger Together' is also very well done. Really solid entry overall!

Thank you for playing!

Nice Game, i had a lot of fun.

Thank you Mr.W!

its fun but the conntrols are dificult

(+2)

Yeah, I want to make it possible to control with only keyboard or only mouse after the jam. I also want to make a mobile version, because I think the controls would work very well with that.

that whoud be realy nice. maby also controller suppor?

Probably not, sorry. I don't think this game would benefit a lot from having controller support and I don't think it's worth the effort rn.

ok, wat you want. its your game.
