Great game. You managed to innovate and hit the theme with a very old genre, that's hard to do!

The art-style, sfx and music make for a nice atmosphere. I really like that the space-ship is just an abstract level - I think that was probably for time reasons but I think it lets t he player focus more on the task at hand.

Congrats on making such a great game!

Thanks for playing and the feedback. Yep correct, the art was left simple and abstract because of time but happy it might actually benefit the game :)

Dude! such a great game Sid! I couldn't get past lvl 4, with the limited time I have, but will give it a burl again another time. You're a great puzzle maker. LOVE the music too! Great choice. It suits the game perfectly.

Developer

The overall feel of the game is perfect! A nice, pretty and calming puzzle game, with an original and fun mechanic, 100% in the jam's theme.
Even the small details like the hole's outline that is still visible when covered... It's just an amazing game.

Excellent job to you!

The whole game is great I don't have much else to say
except that the undo button is my favorite feature

Developer

Thanks for playing, I also love undo in these type of puzzle games so happy I got it in there :)

The art work is very cute and i really like this spaceman but it is pretty challenging from the second lvl and honestly i never got  through it but still it is fun and head scratching.

I used to play with tanagram puzzles as a kid. I loved them, and this game is basically a tanagram puzzle taken to the next level. The magnet gimmick is super creative, it's really simple but leaves lots of room for challenging and creative puzzles. The undo button is also a lifesaver, so I appreciate that you put that in. The graphics and music go well together, and I like that the outline of the empty space shows when there's a piece overlapping it.

The only gripe I had with the game was the difficulty curve. I actually found some of the earlier levels to be harder than the later ones. I would've added in some more easy levels at the beginning. The game overall is very challenging since there's two sources of difficulty: figuring out how the pieces should fit, and actually moving the pieces around. However, this is overall a very tiny nitpick - I personally enjoyed the challenge and spent a lot of time on the harder puzzles.

Super great job overall. I love the mechanic and I managed to beat all of the puzzles.

Developer

Thankyou for the detailed feedback and happy to hear you played all the way through. Yep, I totally agree, I wish I had a bit more time to balance out the difficulty curve.  :)

This looks amazing and is very fun. The puzzles are pretty difficult, but a puzzle isn't fun if it's super straight forward. Great Job.

Developer

Thanks for playing, happy you found the puzzles challenging.

To be honest, I love it.

The sound design is matching the game style. The puzzles are smart and non-trivial. 

Nice work

This was quite clever! The multi-stage process of first puzzling out how to first even make the shape from the given piece pool and then how to wrangle them and the magnetism to form that was pretty interesting.

Developer

Thanks for playing and the feedback :) 

If I make future updates, I will definitely add a player movement speed setting.
