An adorable theme and solid concept, the game controls well enough and I like how the levels are designed, though the physics and the way blocks are joined together could definitely use a bit of work, with a bit of polish though I think you'll have a pretty good puzzle game on your hands, nice job!

The game was really fun to play! The puzzles at the beginning were easy, but as it progressed they got harder! Overall great job!!!

Thanks for enjoying the game!

This is a really nice concept! The collision physics are pretty weird sometimes but that's not a big problem in most of the situations.

An adorable idea, I liked the glueing mechanic, though I think the puzzles are a bit too smart for me, hahah.

great game! I think this one is quite original, I don't think I have seen a game quite like this in the Jam, smart game design!

Side note: I did notice you can cheese the system a little bit, at least on the earlier levels. you can place a block in the corner and carry a block and jump on the one in the corner, drop the block and it goes right on top of the one in the corner and lets you win the game. Not sure if thats intentional but I was able to disregard the rest of the level.

Developer

It's most definitely not intentional but it's still a fun alternate way to solve the puzzle ! Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!

Game was a little confusing at first, but pretty fun once I got the hang of it.

Cool game, sliding on top of a 3block L formation was awesome. I feel like in some levels there were more elements than needed, or i hacked them with physics.

At first I thought the visuals and music were a bit too basic, but it grew on me and I realised it's actually an adorable aesthetic! The physics and controls were way too slippery and buggy at times, I'm sure that's not easy to fix, but it did have a negative effect on my enjoyment of the game. The carrying blocks and gluing blocks mechanic is quite impressive though, I just think the game could've used more polish overall.

Developer

Yeah the physics were a pain to work with. Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!

Cute game! Puzzles were challenging but not impossible. I would maybe rethink the physics system and have it be more grid based? Or you could spin it and double down on the physics features.

Cute puzzle platformer about relocating blocks where glue can be your friend or your enemy. I did seem to break the physics pretty easy, a lot of levels could be completed by placing a block below yourself as you jump on top of another block, getting you two blocks high with only two blocks (which is 'supposed' to take 3).

Pretty fun overall, though the physics are pretty wonky, even if you're not trying to take advantage of it to beat a level.

Developer

Yeah unfortunately I didn't have the skills nor the time to fix the issues with the physics. Thanks for playing though and thanks for the feedback!
