I hade some problems with this game on Firefox. The cube would not tilt properly.

Developer

Ah I'm sorry to hear that! One other person reported Firefox issues but I've struggled to reproduce it. I'll look more into it - thanks for the feedback.

Nice puzzle game! The timing sometimes feel quite difficult, but practice makes perfect! Challenging and fun. GG!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, what do you mean by the timing?

I mean the turn amount before failure. Initially I would expect a bit more... leeway - its very unforgiving ^.^. 

Perhaps i'm just bad at the game :P On the other hand, it makes it challenging and fun puzzle game - perhaps I gave up too soon.

Developer

For sure, it was my first game and I didn't want to make it too easy, but I think I ended up doing quite the opposite! Thanks again for the feedback, loved your game too.

Nice puzzle game. I'm a fan of the minimalist graphics. The ice levels were my favorite to figure out. 

Overall, nice job. My only issue was I found it hard to tell which direction I was going to move, I would press the left button and the cube would move up. 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I also loved the ice levels and am hoping to make more! I really struggled with making the controls clear and ultimately settled on the compass. I’ll keep thinking on how to make it more intuitive.

Since it's an isometric game, the controls are a bit difficult to get the hang of, but it's a nice idea for a puzzle game that goes with your cliche.

nice game, I just find the time limit in the second level a bit too harsh... I get your supposed to go an optimal route and then you can make it, but an extra second would have made this a lot easier :)

A simple, but pretty challenging puzzle game. Nice work putting this together!

I think I played a similar game as a child...
