Very cool concept! Thoroughly enjoyed it! Great art style, good audio design and fresh balancing mechanics. Good job!
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it
I win! :)
Great puzzle game! Love how the levels load up, and how you've balanced the difficulty with the size cube you play and when the enemies appear.
Nice one.
Thanks Glad you liked it
This is awesome! The concept is super unique. At first i thought it was just a defense type game but then my shape changed and it became a puzzle game! I love the visual effect of the levels loading.
Thanks, yeah I figured the first few levels as just 1 cube would be kind of like a tutorial so you figure out the mechanics before more cubes are added. After the Jam I want to make it work with weird tricky shapes like tetris pieces and a C shape.
Cool submission! Turning a cube-flip game into an action game was a very neat idea. Great job!
Thanks I had a lot of fun with it, glad you enjoyed it
Really fun mechanics and addicting to play! I like the whole adding cubes as you progress to increase difficulty nice touch!
Thanks, later I want to add odd shapes like a C shape to make it even more difficult. Glad you liked it.

well designed game progression. Also loved the colors of the game. One thing I experienced is that sometimes it was forced and that I couldn't defend one side by not being able to go there specially when my cube was twice the size.
very smooth movement
You can always reach the other side but sometimes its tricky and you have to move to a different side of the screen to be able to flip and rotate the correct way then come back. It can be a bit tricky though. It was hard to find the right balance for the jam of not making it too easy and not making it extremely hard. Thanks a lot for playing it.
Those 3-length levels are tough! Really like the idea though, it's elegant and well-executed. Looks great, and I love the music! Awesome job!!
Thanks, great to hear.
This is a really cool mechanic with well built levels around it. The animations are also really satisfying and well polished. Awesome job!
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it. I will try out your game shortly as well.
Great stuff. Only stopped playing because I wanted to rate other games as well haha
Thanks for playing, I actually just played your game and recording it too so ill post a link to the youtube video shortly for you. Had a lot of fun, i love the mona lisa lol.
Awesome arcadey game! Having multiple blocks really elevated the difficulty, and it made my brain work hard (in a good way!) to see the correct moves. The aesthetics also complement the gameplay really well.
Thanks a lot, glad you enjoyed it. I just played your game actually and recording it with feedback while playing I will post the link on your page once the video is uploaded
Great concept, and requires some thinking to succeed!
Thanks for playing!
Simple pick up and play fun. Got interesting when you have multiple blocks sticking together
Thanks for playing, glad you had fun with it.
Nice visuals. Nice music. Awesome! I am still having a hard time when there are 3 blocks. XD
It's rather fun along with Pacman vibe.
When the blocks become 2, I thought it wouldn't get any harder since it's already hard...well when it's 3 at level 8, it's impossible for me to play.
This is still not that bad. If you also add color-code into the mechanic, it'd be so painful to play lol
Later I plan to add weird shapes like a C shape for the player, will get really tricky then. Thanks for playing.
Very nice game mate.
Featured in my YouTube.
Awesome thanks man. I just made a youtube video playing yours too will have the link shortly
Got to finish it, was fun to just move around with the planning of moves and the thump sound!
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing and checking it out
I got up to level 9. How many are there?
just 10 on the submission so you are almost there!
Great work as always, be proud of this submission!
Thanks appreciate it, will get to playing yours shortly as well.
Amazing game! I manage to get to level 8, unfortunally the block had space to move but get stuck somehow and i stop playing there. Pretty awesome gamefeel, colors and mechanics. When i saw 3 boxes on top of another i shivered.
I hope it wasnt a bug but very likely wise, sometimes it looks like you have room with the larger 3 block player than you actually do as it requires 3 empty spaces open in a row to lay down. Thanks for playing though and glad you enjoyed it. I will try yours out shortly.
