As a puzzle game lover and designer, I loved this game !! It was really challenging but so satisfaying to finish all levels , a great entry for the jam, good job.

Developer

Oh you actually finished all of them? That's so cool!

Do you think we did well on the difficulty curve? We're always unsure about that..

This is an engaging puzzle game with a really nice painterly art style! Most of the levels I played took me way too long to solve lol. After the blue blocks were introduced I remember getting multiple correct solutions to the puzzle that didn't work. It took me a while to realise that this was probably because the blue blocks were heavier than the brown blocks, and there were too many on one side. You really did have to balance the scales!

One minor issue I found was that when positioning blocks on the scale some would fall when it looked like they should stay or hook in place, which is a bit unintuitive.

All in all this was pretty good! Keep up the good work!

Developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback!

Would you have liked an additional hint or something explaining that weights are a thing, or do you think it's fine as is? c:

And yeah... I didn't really get the physics to work as I wanted them too...

I think that could work? I figured it out because it was implied in the description. But it could definitely be clearer.

Cute little game, though I'm not sure how much the weight mechanics adds over other tangram game. It makes thematic sense, but it's a little annoying while trying to solve the puzzle that pieces fall to the ground. Overall, though, a cute little puzzler and I like the aesthetics!

Developer

The question of whether gravity is a good fit for the game was a constant point of discussion for us as well... in the end we left it in mostly for whimsy xD
