really fun
I got recommended this game since it's similar to mine and it's really cool to see another puzzle platformer where you adjoin blocks. You take it in a completely different direction though and I'm impressed by how many mechanics you managed to pack in! A lot of the levels also had really clever design and I'm a big fan of the idea of destroying the middle block and leaving two separate blocks. The level you used to introduce that concept was fantastic.
I also saw that your game can be run on the GBA. What kind of engine did you use that allowed for that? That's really cool!
The short answer is: a made my own engine to do this and it is complicated.
As a long answer, here's a basic overview:
Nice puzzles! I love the level design! It's going from easy to hard quite quickly however. Really nice game!
Finally a game that fits the theme and is fun. Good level design btw
Cool game with fun mechanics! I like how different each level is in terms of mechanics. Great job!
My favourite game so far. Great Job!
Very nice game, controlls are very good on GBA! I love it
The ingenuity of mechanics was on point. I think the levels did a good job of revealing them as well. Good progression. Jumping was slightly awkward when doing some of the more precise connections.
Great job!
Great job and original game concept!
This game really captures the jam theme well. It really could have used a soundtrack though. It felt a bit boring without any music. The game was overall fun though! Feel free to also check out our jam game. :)
So fun! This game really captures the game jam theme.
Its a good logic and i saw a few which near similiar ideas. Its really a good sense for the theme "joined together"
Nice idea, controls are a bit unprecise for such small boxes. but good game
Sometimes difficult to align yourself to have the boxes attach properly. Could have done with a level to allow the player to 'accidentally' discover the more obscure destroy middle block mechanic such as one with a 3 tall door with a box killer in the middle.
Otherwise, a great game with an interesting mechanic and nice artstyle.
I wanna run this on a washing machine
Nice job! I had a little figuring out how the walljump worked but the puzzles were very enjoyable!
you can run this on a gameboy or windows dos 0_0 what is this wizardry. Also fun game, reminded me of sokoban.
I really like the mechanic, sounds, art, puzzles.
I like the sound, art, puzzles, and mechanics a lot. The controls were a little too sluggish but I still had fun. I didn't like how you had a split second to move to the right in the second level. I am assuming it's to teach the restart mechanic but I don't think that was necessary. Great job!
Great Game, would have liked the controlls to be more snappy though.
