This game is incredible! It's so well polished I really couldn't fault it! The menu transitions, animations and world switching mechanic are all really cool especially! Brilliant work!
If you get a chance any feedback on my game would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Thanks for the feedback!
I'll check out your game shortly.
Great game, looks very professional and its fun to play! If you could play and rate my game that would be awesome!
Hi - I really like the game, it was really well made, and there was lots of stuff to do too!
WOW! I've gotta it's the best one I've played so far for this game jam!! I love the whole idea, the visuals, the animation, the level design and the mechanics!! Tiny thing is I noticed it lags sometimes but that's not too much of an issue. Truly a game I can see myself getting addicted to! A bit more work and I honestly think you could publish it as a mobile game!!!! good job!!!
Yep, the lag is definitely still there.
There's a lot of weird background things I had to do with scene transitions to decrease the lag but I couldn't get rid of it altogether :)
Thanks for the feedback!
Damn Godot must be pretty nice if you made this in a week
Honestly, godot is typically the only engine I use for game jams.
It's pretty fast for prototyping and iterating through ideas and I really like that the scripting is so similar to python.
I also sacrificed a non-inconsequential amount of sleep in the last week :)
Amazing game! I absolutely love the concept and puzzle design, the overall aesthetic and music is so nice too. Fantastic job!!
Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the game!
The music I got from Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/genres)
Highly recommend checking him out sometime :)
Very Hard and cool game!
5 stars!
HOW?!?! How did you manage to do this much in a week?! The mechanic is so fun and I loved the different spins on it. As well as that 15 levels, a hardcore variant of each level, speedrun mode, practice mode... Just how? I loved it, honestly, well done! This is my favourite game I've played from this jam, and yes, I even beat all of hardcore mode.
Wow! I honestly was not expecting ANYONE to beat hardcore mode :D
I'm super impressed. Glad you liked the game!
To be honest, I got kind of obsessed with this game and lost an unhealthy amount of sleep in the last week.
But I learned a lot and had a ton of fun.
Thanks for the feedback, and good luck with the jam!
Really nice puzzle game!
Only wished the puzzles were a bit harder :(
The only one that took me a while was the last one, and the hardcore mode only made the platforming harder. Nice game though!
Fricking AMAZING. I love everything about this. Great Job. No complaints from me.
Polished and very good puzzle game. These are the kind of entries I love, as I can't distinguish if they were done for a jam or just by an independant pro developer.
I really have nothing more to say, levels are great and well designed...well done !
really polished and nice puzzle!
Very polished! The mechanics and the levels constructed based on them are very well thought out! My one feedback is I'm not sure how it fits the theme? Good work though!
Glad you liked the game :)
And thanks for the feedback concerning the confusion with the theme. I added a little more to the game description describing my thought process there, but it definitely isn't obvious in the context of the game.
Thanks again and good luck with the jam!
amazing game with cool mechanics, But which part is "Less is more"?
I can't find a flaw in this game.
Wow! I'm actually impressed!
Wow! I'm actually impressed!
This is absolutly amazing! Easily one of the best games I've played so far. Just a question though maybe I'm missing something but how does it relate to the less is more theme? Anyways, Great game I'm blown away you could do this in a week!
Thanks, I must admit that sleep deprivation and obsession played a pretty key role in the development of this game.
I had a ton of fun but I definitely need to take a break for a bit :)
The theme connection isn't obvious, but it mostly has to do with the digging mechanic.
As you are removing tiles, and then swapping the world, those tiles you just removed now become solid blocks.
So the LESS tiles you have in the current world the MORE you will have in the swapped world.
Maybe a stretch :)
This is probably the best game in the jam, everything gets a five star rating from me! The music, sounds, THE CRAZY PUZZLES, everything about it is great, and the use of the theme is clever! You should definitely expand on this, cause I'm sure many people will be craving more!
i love the gamee
Thanks! Glad you liked it :D
