Man I tried so many times haha. I found it quite difficult but a really fun experience anyway. I love the visuals. I liked the sound effects. Tighter controls (like the leap should really make one leap) and/or shooting the puzzle pieces adds them to your inventory not destroy would be my minor suggestions to experiment with

I really like the concept and the mechanics of this game, it is really well thought.
It's a fun game but a little bit slow at the beginning because of the upgrade system. Perhaps with more shorter levels and upgrading as you complete the level the experience would be more compelling.
It's a really good game, congratulations!

NewProject9The start is a little slow but once you upgrade anything it instantly pick ups the pace.I always had a thing for games that have upgradable parts in them and this is no exception,the upgrades are useful and have nicely balanced prices.The graphics are also nicely done.
It's a fun game.

A game 's lifeI liked this project but, it just takes too long to get anywhere. I never ended up finishing since I spent about an hour just trying to finish the platformer game, as it just felt too grindy. Overall, I liked the concept the animations were nice, and at one point I was thinking, "I don't need this puzzle piece, wouldn't it be cool if I could just click on it and it would go away?", and I did that, and it did! Wow, not really a necessary feature but you thought people might do that, great attention to detail!

Game Dev + Existential CrisisThis game is so creative and fun! I was kinda lost in the beginning, but after reading how the game worked, it was easier to play. Nice graphics too, I loved them! ^^
Congrats on your entry!

Hero's Journeyvery polished and good game, blast to play. beginning with no upgrades available movement and collection seemed very hard and frustrating but after a speed upgrade or 2 the game starts to shine more. very well done.

Endless BalancerI really like it, it's a very creative and interesting game!
It took me a while to figure out how the game works but after I did it is pretty fun. Maybe too hard though because I couldn't complete more than 3 features

Keep On Top Of ItGreat idea to convey the frustration that many of us feel when making a game! Having to keep up with a time crunch.
I didn't understand the purpose of "jumping" and I wish that I could move just a bit faster. It just felt a little *too* frustrating to chase the pieces. Though I know that is part of the point.
Love the artwork!

BalanceWhen you fail your first or second project you should have enough exp to upgrade movement speed :) The idea for the jump was to give a player a way to catch puzzle before it runs away, it's a bit faster than run, but has a little slowdown at the end. Also there are upgrades for taming puzzles so they let you closer before running :)
I love the idea of it, it's really cute and fun :D
but it lacks of balancing...
