I wasn't immediately sure how this fit the theme, but it became very clear very quickly. The art style and puzzle design is super fun! I will say that I think an "undo last action" button would fit much better than just a straight level reset, but the the puzzles were really fun to solve! I also really liked how all the moving parts synced up with the music, that was a really nice visual touch

Thank you. i have kenney.nl to thank for the cool art assets which i only had to slightly modify/add to, the all-in-one package is well worth it even if you can get most of the assets for free. and Slaur3n to thank for the awesome header! Tried you game TEPLA and it was fun, really cool that you made your own engine.
I LOVE HOW THE TOP HAT MOVES! that's super super cute and sets the visuals apart :)

Squid GameFantastic level design, some really great and engaging mechanics, and tons of polish that made it feel great to play. I really enjoyed it! I might've liked an undo button for a game like this, but I get there's a time crunch (48 hours? Wow!)

This One's On The Mouse!Thank you! got too tired at the end to work on level design so i had fun making small changes like adding the hat and fine tuning the push/resize mechanic. the resize mechanic was way worse almost until the end, it triggered as soon as it was next to a box so you couldn't push it past a box! Tried This One's On The Mouse! Love the style and gameplay was fun!
Gorgeous music, and I thought the puzzles were really well designed, easy to see when youve screwed it up and with all the controls on the left hand failure is not frustrating. Well done!
(Edit just saw it was in 48 hours as well, really well done!)
Would be very grateful if you tried our game!

Gravity PoolThanks. a simple theme, great art by kenney.nl(slightly modified and expanded) and music found here: https://opengameart.org/content/4-chiptunes-adventure. it was easier to visualize the concept and quickly start prototyping. making the game small enough to fit on most screens saved alot of time since no scaling was needed. i'm glad you like the puzzles as i was half asleep when i made them.
tried Gravity pool, it was challenging to time correctly but fun, i liked the concept and simple controlls, left a good rate.
Super cute, I love the character and the art.
Very clever puzzles, thank you!

Growbots ArenaThanks, Slaur3n made some really great cover art that made the itch page so much better. Tried Herd it was really fun and a bit chaotic running around(in a fun way). had to do the 48h version as i have a 2 months old and only worked when she was asleep, so i started late and ran out of time quickly.
