Really cool game, I love the mechanic that makes the game to kind of puzzle game and the art was amazing, I wish you could add sounds or music but it was fun!

Really cool mechanic and game it needs some sound effects thought but overall really cool game. but if you don't mine checking mine out feedback would be really appreciated.

no SFX 😢 really pretty lighting and smart gameplay though :D. I feel like this is a really good concept, but when player movement and platform movement clash, it feels like an unnecessary thing you need to monitor. Great game, and definitely something I would like to see further development in :D.

Developer

Hey, thank you for feedback! As I already mentioned in another answer to a comment - due to my own personal time constraints and this being the first project in which I would have implemented sound I wasn't able to get SFX and a theme for the game working. As of right now I already have an updated build of the game with sounds, it just isn't downloadable yet. 
Could you elaborate what you exactly mean by saying "it feels like an unnecessary thing to monitor"? Do you mean that it was just too difficult or that it felt "unnecessary" in a way? It was kind of my plan from the start to couple both things together, because it made more sense with the one button theme and I thought it would make for an interesting puzzle mechanic.

when you move platforms, it also made the player go towards your mouse, and it didn’t feel intentional because the levels aren’t really made around that. I feel like the theme effected this idea way more than other ones. I hope you continue the idea, because it is a pretty cool concept.

Great concept! I like the idea of dragging and dropping platforms.  However, I don't know if it's just me or the game doesn't have audio?  Great visuals but the colors can be hard to read.  A solid good game overall :)

Developer

Unfortunately, you are right - the game does not have any audio. Since this would have been my first game with audio and I had to stop working on this on thursday I didn't get to look into implementing audio unfortunately. I think it would have made the experience a lot better.
Do you mean that you would rather have colors that contrast each other more/stand out more? Which parts exactly were hard to read? Would love to hear back from you :)

The color of the player and the draggable platforms are orange-to-red and the platforms that kill the plater are red.  The colors are hard to differentiate especially for people with colorblindness.  It wasn't that hard for me tho but could be hard for the majority of players.

Wow I didn't think about that! Thank you for clarifying, will look into it and if I update this game I will 100% change this.

great idea but the controls were a bit  confusing. :D

Developer

Hi! Thanks for your feedback :). Do you have any tip or idea on how to improve the controls for this concept?

Submitted

i dont know :/ but at first i thought that you jump with left mouse button.

This game has amazing graphics :D

Glad you enjoy the simple graphics!  I wanted to draw some art for this game (as a first timer haha), but the time constraints just didn't make it possible.

I really like the graphics they are shinny and it reminds me of a game I played a while ago.
