How does you game fit the theme?
In this game you have a helping hand, which means "You are not alone".
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all the code was written by me. The monsters were made using Kenney's creature mixer. The jumping sound was also from Kenney's Assets. All of the other assets, such as the music, characters and tiles, were made by me from scratch.

I like the idea and concept of the game.
It's really nice, I also like having checkpoints,
my only downside is(if I was being nitpicky), that sometimes you should overestimate how many blocks the player needs, it gives the player a hidden advantage. Or give the player the ability to remove a misplaced block.
It feels better than having to kill myself to restart. Also maybe when the player restarts give them the number of blocks they had, if I managed to do a portion of the game with fewer blocks than was intended and had extras I'd rather keep them when I die.
all in all this was really nice to play. I like the extra layer of thinking the position of the mouse adds its a good submission
Good job!
Nice game! Being able to place blocks is a very nice touch, and the checkpoints are an awesome addition. Good job, I had fun playing it =)
actually fun
Some things I spotted:
- You can attack before you see the wizard mouse.
- Good thing you have checpoints! Many games lack it here. But it could be nice to see some animation even color shift or something just to be sure it's checked.
I love how you have to position tha wizard by player movement to get the angle for shot. Nice mechanic. The game overall was fantastic, I had fun playing it!
Great fun! a nice twist on the puzzle platformer. If I were to give some constructive feedback, it would be nice if you implemented some coyote time (let you jump for a few frames after leaving a ledge) to make the platforming a bit more forgiving.
Very unique idea, great game!
Nice game! I really enjoyed the gameplay!
Fun Game! Enjoyed it! But I couldnt play it to the end cuz i got stuck in between to blocks in a way, i couldnt get out. But besides of this bug - Awesome! :D
Very cool! This is a unique concept I haven’t seen yet! Nice use of the theme, I look forward to future updates.
I like it. The "helping hand" is a cool addition and I like the music.
Nice game, unfortunately my game kept lagging but maybe that's just my computer. I like the concept and a solid game overall.
This is a fun and intriguing game, the puzzles are engaging! Good job!
Good game. Only one thing: the player tends to slip off the blocks, you can fix this using a box collider a little bit over the sphere collider. Very fun and clever game overall
This game is fun. There is a mid-scene that does puzzles very well. If the game is long and there More difficult puzzles will be more fun.
Eventhough the game looks simple but this is actually creative. I like the puzzle in this game very much. Nice job!
Fun and creative. Could benefit from some coyote time when jumping off blocks.
Cool concept! Few things I would recommend is: allow player to jump even if only small square is touching, don't make player slide out when standing on corner, make jump sound be quicker because now it feels like it's the sound of falling. But solid otherwise!
I liked it, just need some fixes
Cute art and good music, keep it up
Needs polish but game mechanics are there
Cool concept.
Some polishing Ideas: Show in a better way which way the laser is pointing.
I often lost blocks due to that.
