the game is very performative for letting me draw blocks all over the place in a web browser. I like that there's no limit to the drawing so it can feel very creative.
but the performance is what makes it so satisfying as a package, nice work!
Thank you for playing! In this game, I did some optimization for the browser version which I usually don't do, and I see it has paid off. I've also seen a few people tell me I should've limited the blocks, so your feedback is also nice and unexpected. Maybe I should make a limited mode and a free mode? Anyway, thanks for playing and enjoying once again!
:D
I'd like to think it's a difference of player versus developer feedback? I try to approach as a player as much as I can, and as a player I loved the freedom. If I removed all my knowledge of game dev and came to the game, it's hard to imagine I would ask for more restriction.
But we also know that just everyone is different and will always give conflicting feedback :D
They optimization was very worth it, thank you for doing it!
This game gets a lot of mileage out of a very simple set of rules. Impressive! There are a lot of
"auto-platformers" in this jam, but yours stands out with a fun and responsive block-drawing mechanic.
However, I think that some of the levels are too big-- in challenges where I'd expect to be racing to save my little guy, I end up having to wait for him to catch up. Also, it's easy to build a tube that avoids all of the obstacles entirely. Another reviewer suggested a block limit and I think that'd quickly make things more strategic.
Great job!
Level design is never my strong suit in games, I don't know why I keep making games that need levels. Thank you for enjoying this game!
:D
Really nice pixel art and music :D
I think there should be a limit on blocks placed though because i kinda found myself spamming blocks everywhere
Thanks! I thought of adding a limit, but I saw that the game still worked without because you can't break or place on the dangerous blocks but yeah, I guess it would've been better!
:D
The player animations are great and the levels were fun.
Thanks!
:D
