Playable characters are element cubes (fire, ice, stone, steam) which interact with each other, join together (like ice + fire = steam) and that helps them complete the levels.

Very polished and cool little puzzle game! I really enjoyed it! (the music gets a little annoying after some time tho, it also needs cool SFX, and obviously more levels)

It was very kind of you to call it polished, hahaha. Thanks a ton!!

This game has a cool concept with very nice art, but I must admit I'm a bit stuck on the first level with 3 cubes. It seems like the rock slides on the ice ending up inside other blocks, and it feels like this is unintentional. Sometimes it even slides to the side too, like so:Also, after I dropped it off the level and lost, I was able to move the other cubes, even with the loss screen open, and lose a second time. It was still an enjoyable game, but I would like to know how to get past this level.

Bug aside, to beat the level you have to: Save ice using rock -> Leave Ice next to purple path -> Drown rock to move fire -> Join fire and ice to win

Nice feel. I like the art! I was kind of confused about the cause of death often. Like I would move behind a rock and die, not being able to see why. Would be great if that was more clear. Would also help explain the mechanics of the different blocks I think.

Nice work!

We'll definitely work more on camera and tutorials moving forward. Thanks for your comment!

really cool game, controls were a little frustrating though. puzzles where well made and tricky in a good way. good job!

Thanks, mate!  It's good to receive feedback from colleagues 😊 Ugh, the controls! Yes! We will fix it in future builds.

Looking forward to checking  out your game  🙌
