Love the minimal look cuz it quickly communicates what the environment has. Also I noticed that you have made a saving system, which is a really good feature we usually skip. Overall I really liked the simplicity and the how it directly shows the role reversal!

Developer

Thank you! Saving system is Puzzlescript's feature btw

Submitted

I had quite some fun playing your game :D Maybe some background music would have been nice.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! afaik there isn't any way to add music in PuzzleScript Plus, but I will add some music if I change the engine I am using.

Submitted

Ah okay

Submitted

I have not seen these games as of late and its refreshing to play them again!

Its a fun twist with the ball, literally switching roles ;)

Good job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Great puzzle game! Looks simple but some of the levels can be quite difficult to solve.

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Simple presentation, complex interactions. Pressing Z to Undo reminded me of Baba Is You.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

Love the 1 bit style~ a little too tricky for me >w<

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

This was too hard for me but i will definitely be coming back to it. I really like the concept and it could definitely be made into a longer game. Overall, great job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

my brain is too small for this game T-T but it is still a very cool concept! I think for the time now adding some instructions in the description of the game would be nice!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!

I tried to give instructions in the game, but sure I will try to make it more clear in the description.

Submitted

hahah yeah I saw your "PLEASE READ THIS" note. It's just nice to always have notes that you can look back on tho ;P

Developer

Alright, done it! I hope it is clearer now

Submitted

Strange game. the difficulty is a bit extreme though.

Developer(+1)

Yeah difficulty is the main issue here. But thanks for playing and feedback anyway!

Submitted

interesting concept. as other people said, it could defintely use a better difficulty curve in order to introduce people into the game.

Developer

Thanks for playing and feedback!

Quite challenging! Might have been good to have a less intense difficulty curve early on. Interesting concept though, nice work.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Interesting concept! Some levels are really challenging. Good job!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I found the levels really challenging, you could add some easier levels at the start that learn the player ways to solve levels. Loved the game, its well done.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah lack of tutorials and difficulty is an issue for now but I will try to make better tutorials and adjust the difficulty curve in the later versions

Submitted

nice puzzle game quite challenging. gj :)

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

really fun puzzle game, challenging for sure, the switching and box pulling together really add some intense depth to easy-looking puzzles. Still working my way through the puzzles but really enjoying the elegant level design.

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm very glad you enjoyed puzzle design, it sure took some of my sleep time.

Submitted

I just got to chapter 2 (skipped 1.3) and i love the new mechanics.  great job on on these puzzles! The effort is really noticeable

Developer(+1)

Thanks, it means a lot to me :)

Submitted

The controls and gameplay is intuitive. You might a steep difficulty curve, but it's better to have a hard game that's hard because its levels are challenging and not because its controls are impossible to understand. Nice work on everything, especially having a main menu with level select!

Developer

Thank you! (also level select is PuzzleScript Plus's feature)

Submitted

This is both an interesting interpretation of the theme and an interesting puzzle game. It may be a little too hard right from the start, but that always depends on who is playing. Good submission

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

The concept is interesting, but you have to be really good at sokoban to solve these. Since this is mostly sokoban, but with additional complexity.
Pretty neat game for sokoban enjoyers!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
I think it doesn't help that much to be a sokoban nerd does it? 🤓

Submitted

Not for me, but nice concept. GG :)

Developer

Thanks for playing and feedback! And, yeah it is not very welcoming at first, I should have adjusted the difficulty curve and made better tutorials
