really impressive by the number of levels you managed to make in such a short time frame, good job! the art and music are also very fitting for the game

Great game, with fantastic level design and simple gameplay. Even if you don't initially know what's going on, a couple of spacebar taps immediately make it clear. The overall difficulty of the levels is very smooth, neither too challenging nor boring. Well done!

Very nice game, gameplay was clean. I just had some problems with the spikes hitbox, besides that, had a great time!

Worth the download!! Love this game!! The controls are so much fun!! Check out ours if you wanna see another puzzle platformer with indirect controls :)

I loved everything about this game (even if the music became a bit annoying at some point).

I wonder how you made that much levels in such a short time ? Did you build a level builder ?

Thanks for feedback!

While designing levels I firstly drew the ideas on paper and then by assigning each tile a certain numeric value in game's code I manually wrote levels as json matrices. You can open folder "levels" in game files and see yourself how they are constructed ;) . It certainly is not a good idea for longer games where programming actual level editor makes everything a lot faster, but for short game jam I guess it was fine.

It is great ! Bravo ! And thank you for explaining !

The idea is great, and I love the art, though a few of the level felt more like chores than a platforming or puzzle level.

Well done! I think the levels are not sorted for difficulty level, but i really struggled on some levels! Really enjoyable game, nice entry! :)

There are so many levels! I played at least 10 before deciding I'd seen enough. Its really impressive but in the future I think it might be better to stick to 5 really good once rather than 20 of varying quality. I also think the spike hitboxes are overly punishing. It was fun to play though, in the good levels at least. Maybe lean a bit more into the puzzle aspect but overall well done.

Pretty good! I especially liked the puzzles where I had to keep track of the boxes as well. Maybe a bit more variety in the gameplay would have been nice - maybe levels that let you fall left and right too? Other than that, good short puzzle game.

That was the initial idea! Our team thought about 4-directional gravity and even about smoothly rotating gravity vector, but when I actually programmed 4-directional gravity it gave player too much control to properly fit into game jam's theme, so we decided to reduce control only to upward/downward gravity.

I enjoyed this game! Nice level design, it offer a wide variety of difficulties. Good job :)
