A fantastic entry to the Jam. For some reason it reminds of Luigi's Mansion but instead of ghosts you clean up boxes!

Really Nice Puzzles, And I Really Loved The Game mechanics and the pixel art .

some puzzles took me a lot of time to solve it. but the game is fun overall.

i hope you RATE my game, even if it's 1 star.

Developer

thank you for the feedback, and of course i will play your game

Awesome puzzle game, platforming was a little tricky but the art style reminded me of Celeste, and a super fun take on the concept. Well done! :)

Developer

yeah, the art style was heavily inspired by celeste. also thank you, really glad you liked it

i was looking forward to play this game and i have got to say that you have done a lot in a week, as far as gameplay gone some of the puzzles took me more time to figure it out and it felt so good to solve them, the only nit picks i have are the jump particles (they are too many in my opinion) and when you die the level resets instantly,  it would be great if you could add some delay because most of times i just die and didn't know what hit me. 

Developer

thank you for the great feedback, and i'm really glad you enjoyed it. if i continue working on the game i will keep your feedback in mind

Great job! The puzzles are really fun and I love the artstyle.  Combined with the music the game has a really chill atmosphere. It took me a while to realize you can double jump, though. Overall great game!

Developer

yeah, i should've made the dubble jump clearer but when i realized i was too late, really great to hear that you enjoyed it though!

Amazing visuals, loved the puzzle mechanics. The money could have impacted gameplay a bit more. Other than that, great sounds, great controls, great game!

A very clean and polished game!

The design is especially brilliant, with the puzzle having a lot these "ha" moments where I slowly started to understand the logic and game gimmicks.

The atmopshere is also really great, the interior mood with the lighting and music is so soothing.

Cheers and congrats on the game ! :)

I really really liked the game. Its really fun and visuals and sounds are on point. Just some levels for me seemed litlle bit harder than some later levels. Love the game!

Developer(+1)

thank you, and yeah, i know, but i wanted to give the player some rest in between some harder levels with a bit easier levels

Submitted(+1)

Really well done puzzle game. I managed to complete all the levels with just a little annoyance here and there haha. But after all i enjoyed the feeling of success after beating harder puzzles. The mechanic of attracting the boxes is very polished but I found some bugs related to collisions:

this one happened when i tried to attract the upper box while standing on the other box

My button fell under the floor! Somebody help! oh, thank god i have restart

Developer(+1)

Thank you and yeah, those bug are already known.

So clean and elegant. 2D light is well executed and I love the PP (gives it a vintage look). Solid submission! Well done. 

Developer(+1)

Submitted

Developer

thank you so much, appriciate it a lot

Wonderfully achieved. Neat idea, very elegant, very solid. Made me feel dumb and then, after a while, pretty smart. Nice job. 

Developer

isn't that what puzzle games are about? feeling dumb and then feeling smart lol. glad you liked it, thank you

My pc deems it as a virus and wont let me play it?

Developer

Idk why this is, I know its safe, but if you don't trust, I completely understand

Was most looking forward to playing this game after seeing in discord chat. Game is great, but I am no good at it yet.  Nails every criteria. 

Developer

it's great to hear that you liked it, thank you for playing it.

I was really excited to play this game after seeing the videos you'd posted on discord. The art is super charming and the main mechanic of throwing the boxes was really original and innovative. It would have been nice to have been told about the double jump in the tutorial because it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out that was possible. The puzzles were also a little hard for me but the overall impact of the game was really great :)

Developer (1 edit)

I realized that myself too but a bit too late so I added it in the controls section of the itch page

Submitted(+1)

A neat little game! Definitely struggled at some parts but a great concept. Good job :)

Developer

thank you
