nice game! tho i agree with elimatable about the later levels becoming a bit boring and EatPancake about the music resetting every time you enter the next level

You are completely right, man :). Many things to improve in our game, and certainly better level design and music are top of the list! :D

Very nice! The concept of linked boxes and the way you indicated it was clever. I was particularly impressed with how you designed the levels to naturally teach the mechanics. I had a couple of "aha!" moments while playing :)

The one criticism I'd give is that the later, bigger levels weren't as fun or interesting as the tight, early levels. By level 11 I was just ignoring the boxes and running through the fireballs because there aren't any consequences for dying.

Developer

Completely agree with your criticism. Our latest levels would have required two or three more redesign cycles to transform them into something much more attached to the linked boxes mechanics :). However, there is a consequence for dying: your deaths counter will increase and your ending won't be perfect ;)

I really liked the game it was a lot of fun. I feel like some of the sounds could be better and the music not getting restarted by completing levels, but I can't really talk because my game did not have sound. :D

Developer

We definitely need to improve sounds & music, and its annoying habit of resetting at the start of each level :). Glad that you enjoyed the game even with our many problems and glitches! :D

The art clashes a little bit, but its an interesting concept.
