Great mechanic! It is a really fun and well polished game. I like the different enemy types.

Same! They all have a unique aspect to them in functionality and design! The art was superb!

I have to agree here, everything about its core was spot on. I can imagine this turning into a full steam release one day :)

Very addicting, and lovely artwork!

Very innovative and fits the jam theme well making an overall great game. Fantastic work!

Yes, can agree. The ideology was superbly presented and the artwork was phenomenal on the developer's part, an excellent piece!

You just got my first all-around-five-star-rating. Wonderful job! My favorite of the jam so far! You both are an inspiration, and I'll be watching eagerly to see what you come up with next. 

Great job! Keep it up.

Great work, especially for a game made in 48hrs and original concept.  Enjoyed the art style and was fun to play.  I like the fact that you can jump in the water but only for a short amount of time, gives some room for player error.

I can say the same here! The amount of time they must have spent on the jam must have been huge!

Submitted

I love everything about this game. My friend and I just spent a couple hours taking turns trying to get a high score. Great submission!

Submitted

Super innovative mechanics, I had never seen anything like it. Congratulations, it was very well done. I strongly recommend that you continue development and turn this into a super game! Really congratulations!

Overall I really enjoyed this game! I absolutely adored the art and music and the idea was really interesting. While playing the game however, I found that there were definitely some flaws.

For example I though that hitting other blocks would destroy part of my raft and was avoiding doing it until I was unable to avoid it and found out that they get added to your raft, not destroy it. In addition I found that selecting blocks could be a bit finicky when paired with the movement, as I would sometimes end up on top of the block I wanted to select and unable to actually select it without moving again.

Despite these shortcomings the game was super fun to play and kept me engaged for quite a while. For sure deserving of all of the popularity its been seeing and I would love to see an expanded version post jam.

This was really awesome! Music and visual aesthetic were spot on. The gameplay was very enjoyable. All I'd say is I found using the z and x key to be uncomfortable. The keys could have been spaced out better.

Submitted

The core mechanic in this is really inventive! I loved the 3d pixel art aesthetic you went for and the variety of mechanics that discourage both having an extremely wide raft and a width 1 raft. That said having a narrow raft seemed in general like a pretty good strategy and I was able to get 353m with it.

One thought I had was since the game is in 3d and you can jump it would be really cool to have obstacles along the z-axis (or y-axis depending on how you implemented this :p). Jumping only seemed useful for crossing 1 square wide gaps in my raft but I could easily imagine stacking blocks to build a raft of greater height to collect some power up above me (stacking blocks right now seems to just overlay them on the same square). Or maybe there's a log that fell down horizontally across the entire river and your raft is able to pass under it but you need to jump over it to avoid falling into the water.

Anyways, great game and definitely deserving of its popularity!

I really really like the music and the art <3 the idea was absolutely great as well, but the execution wasn't that good... I couldn't select the right blocks because once I hit the arrow key the character starts moving and goes on top of the block I want to select, you could've made the character only moves when the button is held for longer than half a second or something like that... some collectibles are impossible to collect,  but I understand that's the best you could do in the given time , also you could've made the difficulty scale up rather than the game starting hard when I'm still learning how to play... overall I loved it and it's one of my favorites, good job!


/a web version would've been nice/

loved the art. mechanics are great

Submitted

Good across the board! simple, fun, clever and great art direction!

Submitted

Great polish, moving the blocks feels very satisfying. Nicely done!

Submitted

Very creative, I love the art style!

Submitted

Incredible job! I can see that a lot of work went into this game, and the amount of polish is fantastic.  The particles, the sag of the blocks that you stand on, the floating corpse where you died last, and the little fish are all great touches on an already great concept.

Submitted

Great game play design and even better graphics! It was a pleasure to play.
