Thanks again everyone for your kind words!

I’m really interested in figuring out fun things to do with the main mechanic, so I’ll be working on this game for at least a few weeks/months.

A first update should come by the end of this week/start of next week with audio fixes, UI tweaks and some new content (nothing crazy).

I liked the game a lot! One thing though, the music only came in through my left ear

Developer

Thanks a lot :)

I figured out the audio on the left bug, it will be fixed with a larger update within a few days.

Submitted

This is a really nice game, yes, but... How does it fits to the theme??

Also, the audio has some problems, but you already know that... :/

Developer

Thanks for playing :)

I’m a bit surprised by the question to be honest. This is about always taking into account the other side, it’s a balancing act between left and right, a lot of games in this jame did things in a similar fashion (using left/right, up/top, dimension-swapping which in a way is just a third axis). It only applies it to a more puzzley/cardgamey/stategey setup instead of platforming for instance.

It’s also a pretty big plot point.

Submitted

Yeah, honestly I'm surprised with myself too for not seeing that sooner... I can be pretty dumb sometimes... x.x

Developer(+1)

Ahah, that’s totally okay :)

Game is very good. I take the time to finish it.

  • I like the way you use shapes (I have done the same for my main character :P ).
  • The placement mechanic is simple but smart and pleasant
  • Nice pastel color palette
  • Like the intermission scenes (would be greater with some fake dialogue sound)
  • Need a little bit of extra polish (but that's honourable as it)
  • Need some more soud fx
  • Music must be louder

Congratulation for your good work. Continue making game like this !


Developer

Thank you for the review :)

Yeah, audio isn’t my strong suit, I have room to improve.

The was great and all but the music stopped midway so that was really a problem , pls rate my game too

Developer

Thanks :)

As I said to CookingLapin, I think the music issue might be related to the fact that the in-game music is way too quiet compared the menu music.

Submitted

This is a super neat idea! I do wish I felt like I had a little more control of stuff (maybe have a swap tile, like in tetris, or maybe choose who goes to heaven and who goes to hell?) and maybe a few more interesting tiles (some of them were pretty cool, but I also felt like there were way too many neutral guys), but I really enjoyed it as a proof of concept. Graphics and writing were also pretty neat.

Apart from the level music having a much lower volume, it also seems like the menu music is panned pretty far to the left? A little annoying for headphone users.

Anyway, all in all, very solid entry!

Developer

Thanks a lot!

I totally agree that the game could use more tiles and some form of luck management mechanic. It’s in my todo list :)

Submitted

Great work ! Only thing the music stopped playing for most of the game. 

Developer

Thanks!

The music bug seems weird. The in-game music is lower than the menu one, that could be it?

Submitted

Great puzzle game, had me thinking quite a bit. It was fun and I liked the cute graphics and story, well done! If you add some more tiles and levels, you can release it as a full game.

Thanks :)

I’ll certainly work on it a bit more after the jam.

Wow, this is a very thoughtful game. A puzzle with a plot in a nice style is great. Add a couple of sound effects and the game will be perfect! If you want, then rate my game. 5/5, 10/10, 99.999/100.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot!

I tried to add some sound effects but wasn’t satisfied with them. I agree it’s missing though.
