I enjoyed solving your puzzles and felt incredibly cool when I found ways to solve them. Thank you. 

PS: Great choice of music.

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liked the music!!

I see we had a very similar direction for approaching the theme, and yet there are a lot of differences between mine and yours. Wish I could check this earlier.

For the game itself, it got some really cool mind-bending mechanics! The red spikes, dual characters and the rotation adds a lot of depth to the gimmick. Level design is well done too, having similar layout but different target shape makes each puzzle fresh and not too intimidating. I should steal this idea

Managed to get to lv 36, those puzzles are really getting tough. Congrats on top 100!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I'm honestly shocked by the result. Also checked out your game. They really are similar. I like the style of yours though, much more interesting than just blocks haha. Congrats on getting top 100 too!

I have nothing to say, it's just perfect! Everything is well made and polished, lovely music and a nice background. Congrats! (Just one thing, instead of holding r and having the screenshake, a simple click would be better)

Developer

Thanks for the amazing comment! Might do that with the retry. The screenshake does contrast with the rest of the chill vibe

VEry nice puzzles, I really enjyed playing this one. I think the restart button is bugged though? Or at least for me, it didnt work. Still, had a lot of fun. The mechanics felt great and the level design had a great difficulty curve. Great job on that! I feel like the difficulty curve was our main problem haha.

Developer

You do need to hold "r" for a second so that could be it? Also thanks!!

Super clever and polished puzzler. I can easily see this in the top 100!

Developer(+1)

That means a lot to hear! That'd be insane to see happen!

Loved the gameplay ! Very interesting mechanics and the level design is superb ! In some levels found myself unable to stuck in open places, apart from this issue overall game is awesome! Cheers

Developer(+1)

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Do you mean you couldn't grow or you got stuck on the ground?

Submitted(+1)

I wasn't able to go inside the open spaces (maybe due to same size of gap and box collider) and if I do forcefully then I got stuck inside.

Developer(+1)

Ah I see. Yeah colliders are always a pain

Submitted(+1)

Beat it, loved the game!

Level 28 I tried solving it by flipping places, but it requires to shape the correct box for each side, didn't like that.

Developer

Hey, sorry that must have been confusing for you. In future I'm thinking of adding some kind of indicator to show which player needs to fit which pattern. Also wondering if this was an issue you had the first time round you beat it as you commented later?

Submitted(+1)

Very solid puzzle game!

Submitted(+1)

Cool stuff. I love games that have such a simple concept but get more and more challenging. I didn't manage to solve all the levels, but I might get back to it later. It was a creative theme implementation, I enjoyed it. Simple colors with relaxing music and sounds created an awesome atmosphere. Awesome work!

Developer

Thank you so much! Yeah me too, even when developing puzzles I was surprised how much I could do with it

Submitted(+1)

Yo this is sick!!!! got up to level 24 before getting stuck but the premise is so simple and effective, extremely well done!

Developer

Thanks! I think with the limited time I went all out on making the last few puzzles really difficult haha

Submitted(+1)

This seems to be so well made for this theme, loved squeezing my brain into it. I am at level 11 currently but want to complete it when I get time. Waiting for a full release as well!

Developer

Thanks! I am working on a few bug-fixes, QOL and new levels atm. So great to hear you're enjoying it

Submitted(+1)

Really good puzzle game enjoyed it a lot! Had so much fun!

Developer

Thanks! Very happy you enjoyed

Kinda hard but extremely simple et effective, Gj!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah challenge level was difficult to get right

Submitted(+1)

Loved all the puzzles and the style is just sooooo good!!

Developer

Thank you!!

Submitted(+1)

I made a puzzle game too, so I understand that they're hard to make good puzzles for. And you did ! they're great. Very simple, super satisfying. It never really felt too BS when i figured out a puzzle i'd been stumped on (as there wasn't much else in the room to lead me astray). More room variance / mechanics could add some depth. But like, you very well explored the mechanics that you made

Developer

ooh I'll have to try yours out too. And thanks! It's my first puzzle game so glad they turned out well. Definitely plan to add more mechanics in future

This is incredibly fun and great music choice. Hope to see more of this. Got stuck at level 11 so i just skipped to level 12 xD

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Level 11 is a very "unexpected" solution so that's fair. Might have to add hints

Submitted(+1)

Great puzzle design! The sound design is nice and relaxing. I really had a good time with it.

Developer

Thank you! That's exactly what I was going for with sound
