very well polished and good puzzle design. Ending fell kinda flat tho for two reasons. 1) in the end, you had a whole cube left. If it was left with nothing, it would be more satisfying. 2) The was no main change when it turned to the ending credits.

Developer

Thanks for the advice, the extra cube was a mistake on my part but on our post-jam version we will have improved puzzles and new ones so watch out for that

Brilliant level design and music as well and use of environment....the polish is as good as it gets.

Very cool concept and I'm impressed you were able to pull off so many levels in such a short amount of time! A very well polished and fun puzzle game, great job!

Awesome, love it

Developer

Thank you all very much, there is so many kind comments its hard to individually thank you all but spicy chicken, pixel overload, and I appreciate them a lot, thank you!

This game is super well polished. The puzzles are cleverly designed and the pixel art looks amazing. I really like the idea of mixing the colors of the boxes into a new one when merging them. Awesome work!

Submitted

I'm amazed at how polished this game is! I love the art and the colors go so well together, I love the sound effects and the music really fits the game too! This is also exactly the type of game that I enjoy playing, very, very well done! 😁

The game looks really good, and though it’s not my kind of game I can definitely see the appeal. There is a shippable game in this, no doubt.

Thanks a bunch!

This is definitely the most well-presented game I've played so far. The music and art are both downright fantastic, it all fits together so nicely and feels good to interact with.

The ideas at play are pretty interesting. The slider-puzzle-platforms are somewhat novel and you get a good deal of mileage out of them for puzzles.

There's quite a few small things to pick at, which is really just nitpicking for such a detailed entry to a game jam. Stuff like the overall slow pace of the game (especially the delivery drones), the inability to face a different direction without moving, and some puzzles requiring you to interact with stuff that is currently off-screen are all definitely issues. But like I said, that's nitpicking. This is a high-quality entry you should be proud of.

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! We are likely going to release a post-game jam version with fixes for those little issues and maybe even more content so if you'd like to see more of it keep an eye out :)

Excellent game my man. The pixel art looks great, and I found the concept fun and imaginative. The movement felt a little weird at times due to its interaction with the grid system, but other than that I'd say you did an amazing job!

Developer

I'm very glad you think so, thank you!

Submitted

Great entry! As other said, I found the tile switching to be unintuitive at times, but I still think you got some great puzzles for such a short time span. Well done!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

A very well done game. You really feel like a little robot controling everything on his little platforms. Great entry!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Pretty solid game! The pixel art is nice and simple, the concept is pretty fun and well executed, there's a lot of different mechanics used... really nice 👌
Unfortunatelly for me the game crashed when one of the little drone fellas collided with a crate.

Developer(+1)

Sorry about that, we intended to add a level select option in case of things like that but I'm glad you still enjoyed the game. 

Submitted

Well put together puzzle game. Using Q/E to cycle through platforms when there's any more than 3 can be confusing and tedious but that's not much of a complaint really.

Submitted

Nice puzzle game! The artstyle and music fit together well, as well as the gameplay. One thing I have to say is that there is a lot of slow moving around, which slows down the game

Developer(+1)

I do agree the movement should be a bit faster. Thanks for playing

Pretty fun game with cool ideas. Hard puzzle game! The tile-based movement was a bit clunky but I got used it after a while. A way that this annoyed me was if I had my "W" key pressed down and wanted to switch directions I would have to let go of the "W" key before pressing "A", or something. This was the most prominent issue and could be avoided by the user tapping the keys.

Great game! Graphics were very good 16x16.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the advice, next grid based game we'll try and change things up with the movement

Submitted

Cool idea, I like the game. Readability is a bit lacking. I struggled to switch the platforms since you only listed the Q and E buttons to "rotate" which usually implies the character. Good game once you get the hanf of that part. Good puzzles.

Developer(+1)

Yeah, I wanted to make a better way of teaching the player the rules, but I didn't have enough time. Thanks for playing!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! We are thinking of reworking the game and the problem with switching between platforms is high on our lists of priorities. If you liked the puzzles then make sure to look out for if we release a version of the game with the levels we didn't have time to add in.
