Loved it! the way you had to figure out how to cross the levels was a really good mechanic! Enjoyed this!

 It was a bit frustrating to select every time when I want to place the same block. ButiIt was fun to play! Well executed!

This game is pretty good and very polished for your first game. Good job on that. the difficulty spikes up rapidly as multiple block types are introduced at such an early level. I would suggest introducing each block type by themselves first before throwing multiple into the mix.

Thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to play my game! I will keep your advice in mind next time I design some levels. Also, your game was great :)

This is pretty interesting, and honestly very polished for 48 hours! I got stuck once the dark clouds were introduced, but I quite liked the first two levels. My only suggestion is to work on the difficulty curve of your levels: let players explore one type of block over a couple levels rather than introducing new concepts each level. Even just one or two more levels with just plain blocks and clouds would have helped me really grasp what I was doing. Congrats on your first jam!

Thanks for taking the time to play my game and give some feedback! this was my first time doing any sort of level design and honestly, I was a bit lost but I can't wait to incorporate your advice into my next jam!

Quite like the idea and there's quite a lot going on here too, though I only made it to the first cloud stage, I'm a bit confused on how it's supposed to work as once I disconnect from a block I can't pick any up again, I might just be missing something, but, it's definitely a fun concept, and either with a bit more explanation or some bug fixes and it could be great!

Developer

Thanks for playing my game! yeah you can't pick the cloud blocks back up again (which should've been changed) and are meant to press 'r' to restart the game if it gets stuck in the wrong spot, however, I definitely did need to explain the concepts better.  Also your game was super fun!

Congratulations on your first ever Game Jam entry by the way! So cool! I came back today to play it again. I feel like this would be a great Nintendo DS or Switch game. 😀
