Really great game. Simple but effective puzzle design, and with lots of levels too!

We both created scaler bot games, I see! Regardless, I'm glad you had fun playing :)

Thanks for the kind words! :)

SICK GAME! I'm a puzzle aficionado so this + pico8 got me immediately hooked. The only question I have is: how were you able to put up so many levels? (just to make it clear, i want more)

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Every level is painted on a map, so I simply had to edit them by drawing. I preferred having a simple concept to teach gradually to players! There could've been more things to teach, but time was short.

That said, all this was possible thanks to all the playtesters: looking at them and knowing what they struggled with and what they liked helped me create new maps :)

A really cool and uniqu game with great music

Developer

Thank you for the kind words :)

I really enjoyed the game. Somewhat reminiscent of Celeste, but Celeste is more about the reaction, while here, from what I saw, there is more emphasis on the puzzle. Good job. 

Developer

Thank you! I tried to make it distinct, but I felt the Celeste vibe as well when I colored the ground blue x)

That said, I'm happy you had fun :)

What can I say. This game has a really solid mechanic, and it's iterations are implemented extremely well.

I never felt stuck when I played it and it was incredibly fun to play! I wish there were extra levels, but it was 4 days so. Good job!

Submitted

This is very interesting and fun! One thing I think could make the movement a little better would be if you could just scale up walls without having to press the X key to enter scaling mode. I really enjoyed this!

Developer

I get that! I'll keep your feedback in mind to update the game when the voting period is over. Thank you so much for playing! :)

Beat the game, absolutely wonderful. Took me 22 minutes and 2020 blocks. Probably only took that long due to the 3rd to last level, the second part had me stumped for a while but I figured it out eventually

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it :)

Puzzling the player is the goal of puzzle games, what matters is you were able to figure it out!

Submitted

By completing this game i found love... beatiful. Jokes aside well done the game is amazing and very charming, i love it !

Developer

Thank you for playing, till the very end! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

The art is amazing.
The ideia is pretty cool
I like the levels, but the controls felt a little bit too difficult and counterintuitive.
One idea that came up as I was playing was to use the wasd for the character and arrows for the blocks. Not sure if would actually be better, but I was curious.
Anyway, congrats for the submission

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing, and for your feedback!

Unfortunately, PICO-8 is made like a Gameboy/NES with minimal controls (arrow keys, A, B) but I suppose that if I could add more inputs it would be better

Thank you once again :)

Submitted

Oh, I didn't notice the control limitation. Considering that you did an amazing job.
Once I got the muscle memory of changing between character and block, the flow of the game was great =)

It always amaze me to see Pico-8 games with such a high level of polish!

The puzzles were really clever, and everything in the gameplay was simple and intuitive.

Wonderful job!

PS: I didn't stop at the result screen ;)

Developer

Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot to me! I'm glad you had fun! :)

PS: Good! Never stop at result screens!! x)
